Business Context and Reporting Period

This report covers Atlassian Corporation's financial results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 (Fiscal Year 2025 Q3).

Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 14% year-over-year (YoY) for the quarter and 19% YoY for the nine-month period. Subscription revenue grew 19% (quarter) and 27% (nine months), driven by paid seat expansion and price increases.
• Other Revenue Decline: "Other" revenue decreased 29% (quarter) and 43% (nine months) primarily due to the cessation of maintenance revenue for Server offerings, which ended support in February 2024.
• Operating Expenses: Operating expenses increased significantly, with Research and Development (R&D) up 19% and Marketing and Sales up 32% for the quarter. These increases were largely driven by higher compensation costs, including stock-based compensation (SBC).
• Profitability: The company reported a GAAP net loss of $70.8 million for the quarter, compared to a net income of $12.8 million in the prior year quarter. This shift was influenced by increased operating expenses and a higher provision for income taxes ($63.5 million vs. $7.0 million).
• Cloud Migration: Cloud revenue grew 25% YoY for the quarter, while Data Center revenue grew 7%. Server revenue dropped to zero as support ended.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Management Commentary: Management highlighted strong demand from existing customers, with over 90% of revenue recognized in the quarter coming from accounts existing prior to December 31, 2024. The company continues to invest heavily in AI capabilities (Rovo) and cloud infrastructure. Non-GAAP operating margin was 26% for the quarter, compared to 27% in the prior year.

Capital Allocation: The company repurchased approximately 0.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock for $138.9 million during the quarter. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $1.56 billion remained available under share repurchase programs.

Risks and Contingencies:

• AI and Technology: Risks associated with the development and adoption of generative AI, including potential reputational harm, liability, and the need for significant investment before monetization.
• Cloud Transition: Continued challenges in migrating customers from Data Center/Server to Cloud, which may impact near-term revenue growth and margins due to higher hosting costs.
• Macroeconomic Factors: Exposure to global economic volatility, interest rates, and geopolitical instability affecting customer spending and currency exchange rates.
• Competition: Intense competition from large tech vendors (e.g., Microsoft) and specialized point-product competitors.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

• Server Sunset Impact: Verify the long-term trajectory of "Other" revenue as the Server maintenance tail continues to diminish, ensuring Cloud growth fully offsets this decline.
• AI Monetization: Assess the timeline and revenue contribution of new AI features (Rovo) relative to the significant increase in R&D spend.
• Stock-Based Compensation: Monitor the trajectory of SBC, which totaled $346.8 million for the quarter, as a key driver of operating losses and a factor in future profitability.
• Debt Structure: Note the issuance of $1 billion in Senior Notes in May 2024 (5.25% due 2029 and 5.50% due 2034) and the replacement of the term loan with a $750 million revolving credit facility.
• Customer Concentration: Confirm that no single customer represents more than 10% of total revenue or accounts receivable, as stated in the filing.
