- Revenue Recognition Timing: Review the mix of on-premises subscription license revenue (recognized upfront) versus SaaS/support revenue (recognized ratably) to understand volatility in reported revenue growth.
- Non-GAAP Reconciliations: Examine the reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP metrics, specifically the exclusion of stock-based compensation ($51.5M in Q2) and amortization of acquired intangibles ($19.5M in Q2).
- Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO): Note that RPO totaled $2.28 billion as of March 31, 2025, with 59% expected to be recognized in the next 12 months.
