Dropbox Investor Presentation Deck

Safe harbor Statement This presentation contains forward-looking statements. These statements may relate to, but are not limited to, expectations of future results of operations or financial performance of Dropbox, Inc. ("Dropbox," "we," "us," or similar terms), certain key financial and operating metrics, capital expenditures, plans for growth and future operations, technological capabilities, benefits from new product features, acquisitions and strategic relationships, long-term financial targets, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, such as the impacts to our financial results, business operations and the business of our customers, suppliers and partners as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "plan," anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "intend," "potential," "would," "continue," "ongoing" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved, if at all. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made or management's good faith beliefs and assumptions as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the events and circumstances contemplated by the forward-looking statements made in this presentation may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties are described in greater detail under the heading "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 21, 2020, and include, but are not limited to, the impacts to our financial results, business operations, the business of our customers, suppliers and pa as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures, our ability to retain and upgrade paying users, in particular paying users impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and increase our recurring revenue; our ability to attract new users or convert registered users to paying users, in particular prospective paying users financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; our future financial performance, including trends in revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit or gross margin, operating expenses, paying users, and free cash flow; our ability to achieve or maintain profitability; the demand for our platform or for content collaboration solutions in general; possible harm caused by significant disruption of service, particularly from any potential disruptions in the supply chain for hardware necessary to offer our services that may result from the COVID-19 pandemic, or loss or unauthorized access to users' content; our ability to effectively interoperate our platform with others; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses; our ability to continue to release, gain customer acceptance of, and provide support for, additional product features and new and improved versions of our services, particularly in light of potential disruptions to the productivity of our employees resulting from remote work; our ability to realize benefits from strategic partnerships; and our ability to compete successfully in competitive markets. These factors could cause actual results, performance or achievement to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Additional information will be made available in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and in other future reports that we may file with the SEC from time to time, which could cause actual results to vary from expectations. Except as required by law, Dropbox does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. In addition to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses (including research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative), non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin and free cash flow. These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures Dropbox uses may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included at the end of this presentation. This presentation also contains statistical data, estimates and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications or other publicly available information, as well as other information based on our internal sources. This information may be based on many assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such information. We have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the data contained in the industry publications and other publicly available information. Dropbox does not undertake to update such data after the date of this presentation.
