A reconciliation of IFRS to non-IFRS financial measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below, under the heading “About Non-IFRS Financial Measures.”

Recent Business Highlights:
Customer growth: Atlassian ended the third quarter of fiscal 2016 with a total customer count on an active subscription or maintenance agreement basis of 57,431, a 26% increase over March 31, 2015. Atlassian added 3,169 net new customers during the quarter.






Best place to work: During the quarter, Atlassian was named the #1 best large workplace in Asia and the #1 place to work in the Netherlands for 2016. This continues Atlassian’s recognition as a great place to work. For companies with less than a thousand employees, Atlassian was named the #2 place to work in the United States in 2015. And in Australia, across companies of all sizes, Atlassian was recognized as the #1 place to work for the second year in a row in 2015.
Advanced diversity reporting: In March, Atlassian released its first diversity report, taking a groundbreaking approach by focusing on team diversity data. Team-level data provides crucial insight into how well people from underrepresented backgrounds are spread across the company. Atlassian also revealed its ‘n-Space’ approach to pursuing a more inclusive culture, expanding its analysis beyond traditional diversity metrics by adding LGBT identification, international representation and age - a first for the tech industry - to its report.

About Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Our reported results and financial targets include certain non-IFRS financial measures, including non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS operating income, non-IFRS net income, non-IFRS net income per diluted share and free cash flow. Management believes that the use of non-IFRS financial measures provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitates period to period comparisons of results of operations, and also facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-IFRS or non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their IFRS or GAAP results. Non-IFRS results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only to aid in understanding our operating results. The non-IFRS results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from non-IFRS measures used by other companies.





Our non-IFRS financial measures reflect adjustments based on the items below:
Non-IFRS gross profit. Excludes expenses related to share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles.
Non-IFRS operating income. Excludes expenses related to share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles.
Non-IFRS net income and non-IFRS net income per diluted share. Excludes expenses related to share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles and related income tax effects on these items.
Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, which consist of purchases of property, equipment and software.
We exclude expenses related to share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles and income tax effect on these items from certain of our non-IFRS financial measures as we believe this helps investors understand our operational performance. In addition, share-based compensation expense can be difficult to predict and varies from period to period and company to company due to differing valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments, as well as changes in stock price. Management believes that providing non-IFRS financial measures that exclude share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles and the tax effects of those items allow for more meaningful comparisons between our operating results from period to period.
We include the effect of our outstanding share options and RSUs in weighted-average shares used in computing non-IFRS net income per diluted share. IFRS excludes the impact of the full weighting of these outstanding equity awards until the effectiveness of our initial public offering (“IPO”). We have presented the full weighting impact of these additional shares from previously granted share options and RSUs, as if they were outstanding from the date of grant, in order to provide investors with insight into the full impact of all potentially dilutive awards outstanding and provide comparability.
Management considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by our business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions and strengthening our statement of financial position.
Our management uses non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS operating income, non-IFRS net income, non-IFRS net income per diluted share and free cash flow:
as a measure of operating performance, because these financial measures do not include the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;
for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget;
to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business;
to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; and
in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance.
The tables in this press release titled “Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Results” and “Reconciliation of Selected IFRS to Non-IFRS Financial Targets” provide reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures to the most recent directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS.
We understand that although non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS operating income, non-IFRS net income, non-IFRS net income per diluted share and free cash flow are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, these measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under IFRS.

(1) The effects of these dilutive securities were not included in the IFRS calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
(2) Gives effect to unvested share options and RSUs in periods prior to our IPO for comparability.
