Atlassian Announces First Quarter Fiscal Year 2019 Results

Quarterly revenue of $267.3 million, up 37% year-over-year
Quarterly IFRS operating margin of 0% and non-IFRS operating margin of 23%
Quarterly free cash flow of $74.2 million and free cash flow margin of 28%

SAN FRANCISCO (October 18, 2018) — Atlassian Corporation Plc (NASDAQ: TEAM), a leading provider of team collaboration and productivity software, today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2019 ended September 30, 2018 and released a shareholder letter on the Investor Relations section of its website at https://investors.atlassian.com. All financial results and targets are based on the new revenue recognition standard IFRS 15, which the company adopted on July 1, 2018.

“We had a great start to fiscal 2019, highlighted by Atlassian Summit Europe in Barcelona, where we had the opportunity to interact with our European customers and discuss the latest updates across our products and company,” said Scott Farquhar, Atlassian’s co-CEO and co-founder. “At Summit, we shared two significant announcements targeted at a critically important workflow for modern IT teams - the incident management lifecycle. We announced the acquisition of OpsGenie, a leader in incident alerting and rostering. And we introduced a new product - Jira Ops - a unified incident command center for IT teams to coordinate response and resolution. Alongside our other offerings, these two products support our efforts to deepen Atlassian’s focus on IT teams in fiscal 2019 and help realize our broader mission to unleash the potential of every team.”

On an IFRS basis, Atlassian reported:

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward looking, including risks and uncertainties related to statements about our products, customers, anticipated benefits of the OpsGenie acquisition, market expansion, technology and other key strategic areas, and our financial targets such as revenue, share count and IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures including gross margin, operating margin, net income (loss) per diluted share, and free cash flow.
We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If any such risks or uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, our results could differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements we make. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date such statements are made.
Further information on these and other factors that could affect our financial results is included in filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including the section titled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Forms 20-F and 6-K (reporting our quarterly results). These documents are available on the SEC Filings section of the Investor Relations section of our website at: https://investors.atlassian.com/.

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 these non-IFRS financial measures provides consistency and comparability

3


with our past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations, and also facilitates comparisons with 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 or non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
Our non-IFRS financial measures include:
•
Non-IFRS gross profit. Excludes expenses related to share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets.
•
Non-IFRS operating income. Excludes expenses related to share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets.
•
Non-IFRS net income and non-IFRS net income per diluted share. Excludes expenses related to share- based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-coupon impact related to exchangeable senior notes and capped calls, the related income tax effects on these items, and changes in our assessment regarding the realizability of our deferred tax assets.
•
Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, which consists of purchases of property and equipment.
Our non-IFRS financial measures reflect adjustments based on the items below:
•
Share-based compensation
•
Amortization of acquired intangible assets
•
Non-coupon impact related to exchangeable senior notes and capped calls:
◦
Amortization of notes discount and issuance costs
◦
Mark to fair value of the exchangeable senior notes exchange feature
◦
Mark to fair value of the related capped call transactions
•
The related income tax effects on these items, and changes in our assessment regarding the realizability of our deferred tax assets
We exclude expenses related to share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-coupon impact related to exchangeable senior notes and capped calls, the related income tax effects on these items, and changes in our assessment regarding the realizability of our deferred tax assets 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 intangible assets, non-coupon impact related to exchangeable senior notes and capped calls, the related income tax effects on these items, and changes in our assessment regarding the realizability of our deferred tax assets allow for more meaningful comparisons between our operating results from period to period.
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.
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 measures 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 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.
