EXPLANATORY NOTE

On September 30, 2022, Atlassian Corporation Plc, a public company limited by shares, incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, completed a redomestication, which was approved by the shareholders of Atlassian Corporation Plc, resulting in Atlassian Corporation, a Delaware corporation, becoming our publicly traded parent company (the “U.S. Domestication”). Immediately prior to the effective time of the U.S. Domestication, existing shares of Atlassian Corporation Plc were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for newly issued shares of corresponding common stock of Atlassian Corporation, and all issued and outstanding equity awards of Atlassian Corporation Plc were assumed by Atlassian Corporation and were converted into rights to acquire Atlassian Corporation shares of Class A Common Stock on the same terms. As a result, all outstanding shareholders of Atlassian Corporation Plc became common stockholders of Atlassian Corporation. Throughout this Form 10-Q, references to “Atlassian,” the “Company,” “our,” “we” and “us” (i) for periods until the completion of the U.S. Domestication, refer to Atlassian Corporation Plc and (ii) for periods at or after the completion of the U.S. Domestication, refer to Atlassian Corporation. Also, throughout this Form 10-Q, we refer to our equity securities (i) for periods until the completion of the U.S. Domestication, as ordinary shares and (ii) for periods at or after the completion of the U.S. Domestication, as shares of common stock.

Atlassian Corporation Plc’s stockholders and the High Court of Justice of England and Wales approved the scheme of arrangement effecting the U.S. Domestication. Effective after the close of market trading on September 30, 2022, all issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Atlassian Corporation Plc were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for newly issued shares of corresponding common stock of Atlassian Corporation, and all issued and outstanding equity awards of Atlassian Corporation Plc were assumed by Atlassian Corporation and were converted into rights to acquire Atlassian Corporation shares of Class A Common Stock on the same terms. The Class A Common Stock of Atlassian Corporation began trading on October 3, 2022 (the first trading day following the U.S. Domestication), and the Company’s trading symbol on The Nasdaq Global Select Market remained unchanged as “TEAM.”

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These principles are established primarily by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this document may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments which are necessary to fairly present the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the statements of operation, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are sufficient to make the information not misleading. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or of the results to be expected in future periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the condensed consolidated

financial statements. On a regular basis, management evaluates these estimates and assumptions. Such management estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of intangible assets, fair value measurement of financial instruments and income taxes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Segment

The Company operates as a single operating segment. An operating segment is defined as a component of an entity for which discrete financial information is available and whose results of operations are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company’s CODMs are its Co-Chief Executive Officers, who review its results of operations to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance based on consolidated financial information. Accordingly, the Company has determined it operates as a single operating and reportable segment.

Foreign Currency

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are presented using the U.S. dollar, which is its reporting currency. The functional currency for certain of our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, while others use local currencies. The Company translates the foreign functional currency financial statements to U.S. dollars for those entities that do not have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency using the exchange rates at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, the period average exchange rates for revenues and expenses, and the historical exchange rates for equity transactions. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Policies, Estimates and Judgments

Revenues are generally recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services provided to customers, reflecting the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for those products or services. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of sales and other similar taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Revenues are recognized upon the application of the following steps:

1.Identification of the contract or contracts with a customer;

2.Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

3.Determination of the transaction price;

4.Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

5.Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of billing our customers. The Company receives payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in its contracts. Contract assets are recognized when performance is completed in advance of billings. Deferred revenue is recorded when billings are in advance of performance under the contract. The Company’s revenue arrangements include standard warranty provisions that the products and services will perform and operate in all material respects with the applicable published specifications, the financial impacts of which have historically been and are expected to continue to be insignificant. The Company’s contracts do not include a significant financing component.

Customer contracts often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require judgment.

The Company allocates the transaction price for each contract to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each distinct performance obligation. Judgment is required in determining the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. The Company typically determines an SSP range for its products and services, which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. In most cases, the Company is able to determine SSP based on the observable prices of products or services sold

separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. In instances where performance obligations do not have observable standalone sales, the Company utilizes available information that may include market conditions, pricing strategies, the economic life of the software, and other observable inputs to estimate the price that it would charge if the products and services were sold separately.

Products are generally sold with a right of return and may include other credits or incentives, and, in certain instances, the Company may estimate customer usage of its services, which are accounted for as variable consideration when determining the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period if additional information becomes available. Variable consideration was not material for the periods presented.

Recognition of Revenue

Revenue recognized from contracts with customers is disaggregated into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company reports revenues in three categories: (i) subscription, (ii) maintenance, and (iii) other. In addition, revenue is presented by geographic region and deployment option in Note 14, “Revenue.”

Subscription Revenues

Subscription revenues consist primarily of fees earned from subscription-based arrangements for providing customers the right to use our software in a cloud-based-infrastructure that the Company provides. The Company also sells on-premises term license agreements for its data center products, which are software licensed for a specified period, and includes support and maintenance service that is bundled with the license for the term of the license period. Subscription revenues are driven primarily by the number and size of active licenses, the type of product and the price of the licenses. Subscription-based arrangements generally have a contractual term of one to twelve months, with a majority being one month. For cloud-based services, subscription revenue is recognized ratably as services are delivered, commencing with the date the service is made available to customers. For on-premises term license, and the support, the Company recognizes revenue upfront for the portion that relates to the delivery of the term license and the support and related revenue is recognized ratably as the services are delivered over the term of the arrangement. The revenue recognition policy is consistent for subscription sales generated directly with customers and sales generated indirectly through solution partners and resellers.

Maintenance Revenues

Maintenance revenues represent fees earned from providing customers with unspecified future updates, upgrades and enhancements and technical product support for perpetual license products on an if-and-when-available basis. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the support period.

Other Revenues

Other revenues primarily include perpetual license revenue and fees received for sales of third-party apps in the Atlassian Marketplace. Technical account management, consulting and training services are also included in other revenues. Perpetual license revenues represent fees earned from the license of software to customers for use on the customer’s premises other than data center products. Software is licensed on a perpetual basis. Perpetual license revenues consist of the revenues recognized from sales of licenses to customers. The Company no longer sells perpetual licenses or upgrades for our Server offerings. The Company typically recognized revenue on the license portion of perpetual license arrangements once the customer obtained control of the license, which is generally upon delivery of the license. Revenue from the sale of third-party apps via Atlassian Marketplace is recognized on the date of product delivery given that all of our obligations have been met at that time and on a net basis the Company functions as the agent in the relationship. Revenue from technical account management is recognized over the time period that the customer has access to the service. Revenue from consulting and training is recognized over time as the services are performed.

Deferred Contract Acquisition Costs

Deferred contract acquisition costs are costs incurred to obtain a contract, if such costs are recoverable, and consist primarily of sales commissions and related payroll taxes. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are earned on new and expansion contracts which are capitalized and amortized over the average period of benefit that the Company has determined to be four years, which is typically greater than the term of the initial customer contract and reflects the average period of benefit, including anticipated renewals. The Company does not pay sales commissions upon contract renewal. Amortization is commensurate with the pattern of revenue recognition, or

when the transfer of control of the related goods or services occurs, over an estimated period of benefit of four years. Therefore, a portion of commissions related to our data center offering is expensed when the control of the license is transferred to the customer, and all other commissions are amortized on a straight-line basis over the four-year period.

The Company determines the period of benefit for commissions paid for the acquisition of the initial customer contract by taking into consideration the initial estimated customer life and the technological life of our unified communications platform and related significant features. The Company includes the deferred contract costs in prepaid expense and other current assets and other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs in marketing and sales expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents also include amounts due from third-party credit card processors as they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature and are typically converted to cash within three days of the sales transaction. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value.

As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 the Company had restricted cash of $1.4 million, primarily used for the benefit of employees through a deferred compensation plan, which was not available for use in its operations. Restricted cash is included in other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable, net

The Company records trade accounts receivable at the invoice value, and such receivables are non-interest bearing. The Company considers receivables past due based on the contractual payment terms. The Company makes estimates of expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses based on an assessment of various factors, including historical credit loss experience adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment that may affect our ability to collect from customers. The allowance for credit losses and write-offs were not material for each of the periods as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories of inputs:

•Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 - Observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices) such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities;

•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or examination.

Marketable Securities

The Company classifies all marketable debt securities that have original stated maturities of greater than three months as marketable securities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company has classified and accounted for its marketable debt securities as available-for-sale (“AFS”). After consideration of its risk versus reward objectives, as well as its liquidity requirements, the Company may sell these debt securities prior to their stated maturities. The Company considers all of our marketable securities as funds available for use in current operations, including those

with maturity dates beyond one year, and therefore classifies these securities as current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company evaluates AFS securities with unrealized loss positions for credit loss by assessing whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, whether the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, our intent to sell and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. The Company carries these securities at fair value, and reports the unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income except for the changes in allowance for expected credit losses, which are recorded in other income (expense), net. Realized gains and losses are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Strategic Investments

The Company holds strategic investments in privately held debt and equity securities, as well as publicly held equity securities in which the Company does not have a controlling interest.

Investments in privately held debt securities are classified as AFS securities. Investments in publicly held equity securities are recorded at fair value with changes in the fair value of the investments recorded in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Investments in privately held equity securities without readily determinable fair values in which the Company does not own a controlling interest or have significant influence over are measured in accordance with the measurement alternative. In applying the measurement alternative, the carrying value of the investment is measured at cost, less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes from orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer in the period of occurrence. Changes to the carrying value of these investments are recorded through other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In determining adjustments to the carrying value of its strategic investments in privately held companies, the Company uses the most recent data available to the Company. Valuations of privately held securities are inherently complex and the determination of whether an orderly transaction is for an identical or similar investment requires judgment. In its evaluation, the Company considers factors such as differences in the rights and preferences of the investments and the extent to which those differences would affect the fair values of those investments. The Company’s impairment analysis encompasses an assessment of both qualitative and quantitative factors including the investee’s financial metrics, market acceptance of the investee’s product or technology, general market conditions and liquidity considerations.

Equity Method Investments

Privately held equity securities in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest but does exercise significant influence over the investment are accounted for under the equity method. The Company records a proportionate share of the investment’s earnings or losses, and impairment, if any, as a component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. These investments are included in strategic investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For entities that meet the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), the Company consolidates those entities when the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity. The Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary when it possesses both the unilateral power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company continually evaluates whether it qualifies as the primary beneficiary and reconsiders its determination of whether an entity is a VIE upon reconsideration events. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has one investment in an unconsolidated VIE for which it exercises significant influence over their operations and accordingly accounts for it as an equity method investment.

Exchangeable Senior Notes

In 2018, the Company, through its subsidiary Atlassian US, Inc., issued exchangeable senior notes due May 1, 2023 (the “Notes”), which were classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost and measured using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method. Amortized cost was calculated by taking into account any discount and issuance cost that were an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization was included as interest expense in the

condensed consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) with certain financial institutions. The capped call transactions were scheduled to expire in May 2023 and were required to be settled in cash. As of June 30, 2022 the Notes and Capped Calls had been fully settled and are no longer outstanding. Refer to Note 12, “Debt” for further details of the transaction.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts with the objective to mitigate certain currency risks associated with cost of revenues and operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies. These foreign exchange forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of certain foreign currency denominated as monetary assets and liabilities to reduce the risk that such foreign currency will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of cash flows in the interest payments associated with its variable-rate debt due to changes in the London inter-bank offered rate (“LIBOR”) based floating interest rate. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve interest obligations for U.S. dollar-denominated amounts. The Company does not enter into derivative instrument transactions for trading or speculative purposes.

Hedging derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the gains (losses) on the derivatives are initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and is subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged exposure is recognized in earnings. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges, gains (losses) from changes in fair values are primarily recognized in other income (expense), net. The Company enters into master netting agreements with financial institutions to execute its hedging program. The master netting agreements are with select financial institutions to reduce the Company’s credit risk, as well as to reduce its concentration of risk with any single counterparty.

The Company had other derivatives, such as embedded exchange feature of the Notes and Capped Calls. Please see Note 12, “Debt” for details. The Notes and Capped Calls were measured at fair value at each reporting date, and gains (losses) from changes in fair values were recognized in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing models to estimate the fair value of the exchange feature of the Notes. Certain inputs used in the model such as stock price volatility requires judgment. The fair value of the Capped Calls was obtained from counterparty banks.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives for each asset class are as follows:


Equipment			3 years
Computer hardware and computer-related software			3 years
Furniture and fittings			5 years
Leasehold improvements			Shorter of the remaining lease term or 7 years

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Our lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Payments under our lease arrangements are primarily fixed. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities. We combine fixed payments for non-lease components with lease payments and account for them together as a single lease component which increases the amount of our lease assets and liabilities.

Certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the lease assets and liabilities. These amounts include payments affected by the Consumer Price Index and payments for maintenance and utilities.

Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is our incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in our leases is not readily determinable. Our incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms

and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Our lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We generally use the base, non-cancelable, lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities. The Company reassesses the lease term if and when a significant event or change in circumstances occurs. Lease assets also include any prepaid lease payments and lease incentives. Operating lease expense (excluding variable lease costs) is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption for short-term leases, which are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Payments associated with short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company did not have any finance lease arrangements as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

Assets Held for Sale

The Company classifies assets as held for sale when all of the following are met: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the assets; (ii) the assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated; (iv) it is probable that a sale will occur within one year; (v) the assets are being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to their current fair value; and (vi) it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. If all held for sale criteria are met, the assets are reclassified and presented separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as assets held for sale at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value, less cost to sell, and no longer depreciated or amortized. The Company completed a sale of assets that had previously been classified as held for sale in July 2022, please refer to Note 10, “Assets Held for Sale”, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for details.

Business Combinations

The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.

The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the intangible assets include, but are not limited to, revenue growth rates, technology migration curves, customer attrition rates and discount rates. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.

During the measurement period, which may not be later than one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Intangible Assets

The Company acquires intangible assets separately or in connection with business combinations. Intangible assets are measured at cost initially. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The amortization expense on intangible assets is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

The estimated useful lives for each intangible asset class are as follows:


Patents, trademarks and other rights			5 - 12 years
Customer relationships			3 - 10 years
Acquired developed technology			4 - 6 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. When the projected undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts, the assets are adjusted to their estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recorded as a component of operating income (expense).

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year and more often if and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Company’s reporting unit is at the operating segment level. The Company performs its goodwill impairment test at the level of its operating segment, as there are no levels below the operating segment level for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODMs. A qualitative assessment is performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its operating segment is less than it’s carrying amount. If the operating segment does not pass the qualitative assessment, the carrying amount of the operating segment, including goodwill, is compared to fair value and goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Any excess is recognized as an impairment loss in current period earnings.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense related to all stock-based awards, including restricted stock units (“RSU”), restricted stock awards and stock options issued to our employees in exchange for their service, based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of each RSU or restricted stock award is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company estimated the fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Company recognizes costs related to stock-based awards, net of estimated forfeitures, over the awards’ requisite service period on a straight-line basis. The Company estimates forfeitures based on historical experience. The respective expenses are recognized as employee benefits and classified in our condensed consolidated statements of operations according to the activities that the employees perform.

In connection with certain business combinations, the Company also issues replacement awards in exchange for awards held by employees of the acquiree. The Company recognizes the portion of the acquiree award that is attributable to pre-combination service as purchase consideration. The portion of the replacement award attributable to post-combination service is recognized as compensation expense and classified in our condensed consolidated statements of operations according to the activities that the employees perform. Refer to Note 16, “Stockholders Equity” for more information.

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company offers various defined contribution plans for our U.S. and non-U.S. employees. The Company matches a portion of employee contributions each pay period, subject to maximum aggregate matching amounts.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred as a component of marketing and sales expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consists of the employee, software, and hardware costs incurred for the development of new products, enhancements and updates of existing products and quality assurance activities. The costs incurred for the development of the Company’s cloud-based platform and internal use software are evaluated for capitalization during the development phase. Capitalized software development costs on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet were not material for the periods presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments potentially exposing the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, derivative contracts and investments. The Company holds cash at financial institutions that management believes are high credit, quality financial institutions and invests in investment grade securities rated A- and above and debt securities. The Company’s derivative contracts expose it to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the arrangement. The Company enters into master netting agreements with select financial institutions to reduce its credit risk and trades with several counterparties to reduce its concentration risk with any single counterparty. The Company does not have significant exposure to counterparty credit risk at this time. In addition, the Company does not require nor is required to post collateral of any kind related to any foreign currency derivatives.

Credit risk arising from accounts receivable is mitigated to a certain extent due to our large number of customers and their dispersion across various industries and geographies. The Company’s customer base is highly diversified, thereby limiting credit risk. The Company manages credit risk with customers by closely monitoring its receivables and contract assets. The Company continuously monitors outstanding receivables locally to assess whether there is objective evidence that outstanding accounts receivables and contract assets are credit-impaired. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, no customer represented more than 10% of the total accounts receivable balance. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no customer represented more than 10% of the total revenues.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements and their corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable income. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be reversed. The Company recognizes the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates within the provision for income taxes as expense and income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of benefit from (provision for) income taxes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively. Where deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

Deferred tax assets are regularly evaluated for future realization and reduced by a valuation allowance to an amount for which realization is more likely than not. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, carry back potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the amount of future taxable income, together with future tax-planning strategies. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable income depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows, future business expectations, capital expenditures, dividends, and other capital management transactions. Management judgment is also required in relation to the application of income tax legislation, which involves complexity and an element of uncertainty. In the event there is a change in the Company’s assessment of its ability to recover deferred tax assets, the income tax provision would be adjusted accordingly, resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Uncertain tax positions are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 specifies a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it’s more likely than not that tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position, and (2) for those positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company considers many factors when evaluating uncertain tax positions, which involve significant judgement and may require periodic reassessment. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. For details of taxation, please refer to Note 18, “Income Taxes.”

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted in Fiscal Year 2023

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU is elective and provides relief to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Optional expedients are provided for contract modification accounting under topics such as debt, leases, and derivatives. The optional amendments were to be effective for all entities as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, “Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848,” which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024 to align with the amended cessation date of LIBOR which was delayed to June 30, 2023. The impact on our consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this standard is expected to be immaterial.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations: Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805)”. The amendments in this ASU require that an acquirer recognizes and measures contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The Company adopted this standard effective July 1, 2022 using a modified retrospective method. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Conversion from IFRS to GAAP

As part of the U.S. Domestication, the Company has retrospectively converted its Consolidated Financial Statements from International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) to GAAP. Refer to Note 1, “Description of Business,” for additional details.

The significant differences between IFRS and GAAP as they relate to these financial statements are as follows:

(a) Stock-based Compensation

Under IFRS, prior to the adoption of GAAP, the Company adhered to the accelerated method of expense recognition for stock-based compensation subject to graded vesting. The application of this accounting method results in more of the grant’s stock-based compensation being recognized in the earlier years of the grant.

Under GAAP, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the straight-line expense method, recognizing the expense ratably over the service period, which is generally four years. This change in the timing of the expense recognition is the primary driver for the GAAP transition differences. The resulting decrease in stock-based compensation expense from the transition from IFRS to GAAP was $50.9 million and $160.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.

(b) Leases

Under IFRS, prior to the adoption of GAAP, the Company, as lessee, applied the single lease model that is similar to the accounting for a finance lease under GAAP. The expense recognition presented a higher portion of the total expense earlier in the term as a combination of straight-line depreciation of the right-of-use asset and the EIR method applied to the lease liability results in a decreasing rate of interest expense recognition throughout the lease term.

Under GAAP, there is dual classification lease accounting model for lessees: finance leases and operating leases. The Company, as lessee, classified all its leases as operating leases and recognizes a single lease expense, including both a right-of-use asset depreciation component and a interest expense component, on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term. This resulted in lease expense being reclassified from interest

expense into operating expense under GAAP which decreased interest expense by $1.9 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. Additionally due to the change in the expense recognition method, the total resulting decrease in lease related expense from the transition from IFRS to GAAP was $0.6 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company invests in equity securities of public and private companies in which the Company does not have a controlling interest or significant influence. Under IFRS, the movement in the valuation of these investments had been recorded in other comprehensive income. Under GAAP, the Company records any impairment of these equity investments, as well as any changes in value resulting from observable price changes as a result of orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This change in classification is the primary driver of the GAAP transition differences. The resulting increase in other expense, net from the transition from IFRS to GAAP was $17.1 million and $70.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.

(d) Exchangeable Senior Notes

In 2018, Atlassian US, Inc. issued $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Notes were senior, unsecured obligations of the Company, and were scheduled to mature on May 1, 2023, unless earlier exchanged, redeemed or repurchased. The Notes were fully redeemed by the Company in fiscal year 2022.

The exchange feature of the Notes required bifurcation from the Notes and was accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of the Notes’ embedded exchange derivative at the time of issuance was $177.9 million and was recorded as original debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the Notes. This discount was amortized as interest expense using the EIR method over the term of the Notes.

Under IFRS, the Company determined EIR using estimated cash flows, based on the anticipated timing on cash inflows and outflows. Under GAAP, the Company has calculated EIR using contractual cash flows, focusing on the flow of funds as determined by contractual arrangements. The increase in interest expense resulting from the transition from IFRS to GAAP had no impact to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and was $23.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

(e) Income Taxes

Prior to the adoption of GAAP, the Company accounted for income taxes pursuant to International Accounting Standard 12 Income Taxes (“IAS 12”), International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (“IFRIC 23”) and International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Reporting (“IAS 34”). Upon the adoption of GAAP, the Company now accounts for income taxes pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) as noted below:

i.Deferred Tax

Deferred tax has been adjusted to remove any backwards tracing components that are permitted under IAS 12 and prohibited under ASC 740. Specifically, backwards tracing is prohibited with regard to adjustments to the beginning of the year balance of a valuation allowance because of a change in judgement about the realizability of related deferred tax assets in future years.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets for investments in subsidiaries, partnerships, corporate ventures, and other entities have been assessed based on the criteria in ASC 740 rather than IAS 12. Where applicable, the Company has adopted the exception criteria in establishing whether a deferred tax asset or liability is required to be recognized. The Company acknowledges that a deferred tax asset or liability will be recognized for any investments that are not subject to the exception criteria.

Under IFRS, when assessing the recognition of deferred taxes on outside basis differences between the carrying amount of an investment for financial reporting purposes and the underlying tax basis in that investment, the Company had adopted the exceptions in IAS 12 such that no deferred tax assets or liabilities had been recorded on outside basis differences that exist for any controlled subsidiaries.

Under GAAP, the Company is required to recognize deferred taxes attributable to outside basis interests in equity accounted investments in addition to fiscally transparent entities such as partnerships and trusts. On that basis, the Company has recorded deferred taxes for the U.S. group’s interest in foreign and domestic fiscally

transparent entities, and it is expected to recognize deferred taxes in respect of any equity accounted associate investments that it does not control.

ii.Valuation Allowance

The realizability of deferred tax assets was considered under GAAP and the determination to maintain a full valuation allowance in the United States and Australia was made. This is a substantially similar result under IFRS. For footnote presentation purposes, all deferred tax assets, liabilities, and valuation allowances are now reported on gross basis rather than a net basis.

iii.Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company recognizes and measures any uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 rather than IFRIC 23. Accordingly, the Company recognizes, and measures uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process outlined in the Income Tax section of Critical Accounting Policies.

iv.Stock-Based Compensation

Under IFRS, the measurement of the stock-based compensation deferred tax asset is based on an estimate of the future tax deduction based on the current stock price at each reporting period. When the expected tax benefits from equity awards exceed the recorded cumulative recognized expense multiplied by the tax rate, the tax benefit up to the amount of the tax effect of the cumulative book compensation expense is recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations; the excess is recorded in equity. When the expected tax benefit is less than the tax effect of the cumulative amount of recognized expense, the entire tax benefit is recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Under GAAP, the Company measures the stock-based compensation deferred tax asset based on the amount of compensation cost recognized for financial statement purposes. Changes in stock price do not result in a remeasurement of the related deferred tax asset. Upon settlement or expiration, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are recognized within the provisions for income taxes.

v.Other Pre-tax Changes

The tax effects resulting from other accounting changes to pre-tax income, including leases, strategic investments, and notes, are included in the tax provision under GAAP.

Determination of Fair Value

The Company uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets to determine the fair value of the Company’s Level 1 investments. The fair value of the Company’s Level 2 investments is determined based on quoted market prices or alternative market observable inputs.

Strategic Investments Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company’s investments in privately held companies are not included in the tables above and are discussed in Note 5, “Investments.” The carrying value of the Company’s privately held equity securities are adjusted on a non-recurring basis upon observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, or impairment (referred to as the measurement alternative). Privately held equity

securities that have been remeasured during the period based on observable price changes in orderly transactions are classified within Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the Company estimates the value based on valuation methods which may include a combination of the observable transaction price at the transaction date and other unobservable inputs including volatility, rights and preferences of the investments, and obligations of the securities the Company holds. The fair value of privately held equity securities that have been remeasured due to impairment are classified within Level 3. The Company’s privately held debt and equity securities amounted to $139.1 million and $128.3 million as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Equity Method Investment

On July 20, 2022, the Company completed a non-cash sale of its controlling interest of Vertical First Trust (“VFT”) to a third-party buyer. Please refer to Note 10, “Assets held for sale,” for additional details. The Company retained a minority equity interest of 13% in the form of ordinary units and has significant influence in VFT. The Company’s interest in VFT is accounted for using the equity method in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company used a discounted cash flow model to calculate the fair value of its retained equity interest. The fair value of the retained interest was $88.9 million, and is classified as a Level 3 investment in the fair value hierarchy. The inputs to the valuation included observable inputs, including capitalization rate, discount rate, and other management inputs, including the underlying building practical completion date. The maximum exposure to loss related to the Company’s investment in VFT equals the Company’s capital investment.

The following table sets forth the carrying amounts of the equity method investment and the movements during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 (in thousands):

The Company entered into an Agreement for Lease (the “AFL”) for its new global headquarters in Sydney, Australia (the “Australian HQ Property”) in March 2022. Following completion of the development of the Australian HQ Property, the AFL requires the Company to enter into a lease agreement for the planned headquarters office space. The lease is expected to commence in fiscal year 2027 and will continue for 15 years, with the Company’s option to extend the term for up to two additional ten-year periods. Future lease payments are approximately $929.4 million as of March 31, 2023, for the initial term of 15 years. Please refer to Note 5, “Investments,” and Note 10, “Assets held for sale,” for details of the transaction.

10. Assets Held for Sale

During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2021, the Company committed to a plan to sell its controlling interest of its subsidiary, VFT, which was established for the construction project associated with the Australian HQ Property. In July 2021, the Company entered into a term sheet with a third-party buyer to effect the sale. The term sheet provided a framework for the buyer to invest in and develop the Australian HQ Property. In March 2022, the Company entered into a series of agreements with the buyer, including an AFL. On July 20, 2022, the Company completed a non-cash sale of its controlling interest of VFT to the buyer and recognized a gain of $45.2 million from the sale in other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2023, representing the difference between the fair value of the Company’s retained investment and the derecognized VFT assets and liabilities upon loss of control. Please refer to Note 5, “Investments” for additional details.

12. Debt

Exchangeable Senior Notes

2023 Exchangeable Senior Notes

In 2018, Atlassian US, Inc., issued $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Notes were senior, unsecured obligations of the Company, and were scheduled to mature on May 1, 2023, unless earlier exchanged by investors, or redeemed or repurchased by the Company. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated Capped Calls with certain financial institutions. The aggregate

cost of the Capped Calls was $87.7 million. The capped call transactions were scheduled to expire in May 2023 and were required to be settled in cash.

The exchange feature of the Notes required bifurcation from the Notes and was accounted for as a derivative liability. The capped call transactions were accounted for as derivative assets. The Notes embedded exchange derivative liability and capped call assets were carried on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair values and were adjusted at the end of each reporting period, with unrealized gain or loss reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The current or non-current classification of the embedded exchange derivative liability and the Capped Calls asset corresponded with the classification of the Notes on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The classification was evaluated at each balance sheet date.

The Notes and Capped Calls were fully settled in fiscal year 2022. There was no balance outstanding related to the Notes as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022. No net gain or loss on exchange derivative and capped call transactions was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and $424.5 million of net loss on exchange derivative and capped call transactions were recognized during the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

Credit Facility

In October 2020, Atlassian US, Inc. entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) establishing a $1 billion senior unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $500 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Company used the net proceeds of the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, including repayment of the then existing indebtedness. The Credit Facility matures in October 2025 and bears interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate plus a margin up to 0.50% or LIBOR rate plus a spread of 0.875% to 1.50%, in each case with such margin being determined by the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid, and re-borrowed until its maturity, and the Company has the option to request an increase of $250 million in certain circumstances. The Company may prepay the Credit Facility at its discretion without penalty. Commencing on October 31, 2023, the Company is obligated to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility in installments on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to 1.25% of the Term Loan Facility borrowing amount until the maturity of the Term Loan Facility.

The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $4.4 million in connection with entering into the Credit Facility. The debt issuance costs were amortized over the terms of the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2023, $1.0 billion has been drawn under the Term Loan Facility. The Company is also obligated to pay a commitment fee on the undrawn amounts of the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate ranging from 0.075% to 0.20%, determined by the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.

The Credit Facility requires compliance with various financial and non-financial covenants, including affirmative and negative covenants. The financial covenants include a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.5x, which ratio increases to 4.5x during the period of four fiscal quarters immediately following a material acquisition. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all related covenants.

On September 30, 2022, prior to the consummation of the U.S. Domestication, Atlassian Corporation Plc entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment sets forth the requirements for the assumption of the obligations of Atlassian Corporation Plc by Atlassian Corporation under the Credit Agreement and provides that the financial statements required to be delivered under the Credit Agreement, as amended, will be prepared in accordance with GAAP and financial definitions under the Credit Agreement, as amended, will be interpreted in accordance with GAAP.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Noncancellable Purchase Obligations

The Company has contractual commitments for services with third-parties related to its cloud services platform and other infrastructure services. These commitments are non-cancellable and expire within one to five years. There were no material contractual commitments that were entered into during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 that were outside the ordinary course of business. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company entered into non-cancelable purchase commitments for infrastructure services of $1.9 billion over five years.

Operating Leases

Please refer to Note 9, “Leases,” for a lease commitment that the Company has entered but the lease has not yet commenced.

Legal Proceedings

On February 3, 2023, a putative securities class action (the “Putative Class Action”) was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned City of Hollywood Firefighters’ Pension Fund vs. Atlassian Corporation, Case No. 3:23-cv-00519, naming the Company and certain of its officers as defendants. The lawsuit is purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities between August 5, 2022 and November 3, 2022 (the “Class Period”). The complaint alleges claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on allegedly false and misleading statements about the Company’s business and prospects during the Class Period. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. The defendants intend to deny the allegations of wrongdoing and vigorously defend against the claims in this lawsuit.

In March and April 2023, two stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against the members of the Company’s board of directors and certain of its officers, captioned Silva v. Cannon-Brookes, Case No. 1:23-cv-00283; and Keane v. Cannon-Brookes, Case No. 1:23-cv-00399. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. These stockholder derivative lawsuits are based largely on the same allegations as the Putative Class Action, including allegations relating to the Company’s disclosures during the Class Period as well as, in certain instances, alleged insider trading. The lawsuits purport to assert claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, and violations of 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief on the Company’s behalf. The defendants intend to seek to consolidate these cases and to stay them until resolution of the Putative Class Action. The defendants also intend to deny the allegations of wrongdoing and vigorously defend against the claims in these lawsuits.

In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time, the Company is party to litigation and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While the Company does not believe the ultimate resolution of pending legal matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, the results of any litigation or other legal proceedings are uncertain and as such the resolution of such legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company accrues for loss contingencies when it is both probable that it will incur the loss and when it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or range of loss. For the periods presented, the Company has not recorded any liabilities as a result of the litigation or other legal proceedings in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Indemnification Provisions

The Company’s agreements include provisions indemnifying customers against intellectual property and other third-party claims. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors, executive officers and certain other officers that will require the Company to, among other things, indemnify these individuals for certain liabilities that may arise as a result of their affiliation with the Company. For the periods presented, the Company has not incurred any costs as a result of such indemnification obligations and has not recorded any liabilities related to such obligations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

14. Revenue

Remaining Performance Obligations

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes unearned revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations is influenced by several factors, including the timing of renewals, the timing of delivery of software licenses, average contract terms, and foreign currency exchange rates. Unbilled portions of the remaining performance obligations are subject to future economic risks including bankruptcies, regulatory changes and other market factors.

As of March 31, 2023, approximately $1.6 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 85% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months with the balance recognized thereafter.

15. Restructuring

On March 6, 2023, the Company initiated a rebalancing of resources resulting in the elimination of certain roles impacting about 500 full-time employees, or approximately 5% of the Company’s then-current workforce. These actions are part of the Company’s initiatives to accelerate progress against its highest priorities. These actions include continuing to invest in strategic areas of the business, and aligning talent to best meet customer needs and business priorities. As a result, the Company recorded severance and other termination benefits, including severance, notice period payments, employee transition payments and other benefits of $25.8 million, and stock-based compensation of $10.7 million for the impacted employees during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company expects the execution of these actions, including cash payment of the remaining severance and other termination benefits related liabilities, to be substantially completed by the end of the fiscal year 2023.

In addition, the Company is consolidating its leases, including planned subleasing, of several office spaces, to optimize its real estate footprint. As a result, the Company recorded impairment charges for the related operating lease right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements of $61.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The fair values of the impaired assets were estimated using discounted cash flow models (income approach) based on market participant assumptions with Level 3 fair value inputs. The assumptions used in estimating fair value include the expected downtime prior to the commencement of future subleases, projected sublease income over the remaining lease periods, and discount rates that reflect the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows. The Company continues to evaluate its real estate needs and may incur additional charges in the future.

16. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

As discussed in Note 1, “Description of Business,” the Company completed the U.S. Domestication after the close of market trading on September 30, 2022. At that time all issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Atlassian Corporation Plc were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for newly issued shares of corresponding common stock of Atlassian Corporation, and all issued and outstanding equity awards of Atlassian Corporation Plc were assumed by Atlassian Corporation and were converted into rights to acquire Atlassian Corporation shares of Class A Common Stock on the same terms.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s common stock consists of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, each of which has a par value of $0.00001. Each share of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock in the following circumstances: (1) upon the written consent of the holders of at least 66.66% of the total number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock; (2) if the aggregate number of shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding comprises less than ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock then outstanding; and (3) upon any transfer to a person that is not a permitted transferee described in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Any dividend declared by the Company shall be paid on the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock pari passu as if they were all stock of the same class. Additionally, upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably on a per share basis all assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, unless disparate or different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote. Each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 10 votes.

Preferred Stock

The Company’s board of directors has the authority to issue up to 10 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series. The Company’s board of directors may designate the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, the right to elect directors to and increase or decrease the number of shares of any series. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

Stock-based Compensation

Upon the completion of the U.S. Domestication, the Company assumed the following plans: the Atlassian Corporation Plc 2015 Share Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”); the Atlassian Corporation Plc 2013 U.S. Share Option Plan (the “2013 U.S. Option Plan”); and the 2015 Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “ESPP” and, together with the 2015 Plan and the 2013 U.S. Option Plan, the “Incentive Plans”). The Atlassian UK Employee Share Option Plan was not assumed by the Company as there were no stock option awards outstanding at the time of the U.S. Domestication. In connection with its assumption of the Incentive Plans, the Company amended and restated the 2015 Plan as the Atlassian Corporation Amended and Restated 2015 Share Incentive Plan, the ESPP as the Atlassian Corporation Amended and Restated 2015 Employee Share Purchase Plan and the 2013 U.S. Option Plan as the Atlassian Corporation Amended and Restated 2013 U.S. Share Option Plan, in each case to reflect the assumption and changes in applicable law and to provide that the securities to be issuable in connection with equity awards will be shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock instead of Atlassian Corporation Plc Class A ordinary shares.

In addition, Atlassian Corporation assumed each option to purchase Atlassian Corporation Plc Class A ordinary shares and each restricted share unit award covering Atlassian Corporation Plc Class A ordinary shares that was outstanding under an equity incentive plan and amended such option or restricted share unit award to reflect the assumption by Atlassian Corporation and to provide for the securities issuable in connection with the exercise or settlement of the option or award to be shares of Atlassian Corporation’s Class A Common Stock.

At March 31, 2023, the Company had 31,024,990 shares of its common stock available for future issuance under the 2015 Plan, which plan provides for the issuance of incentive and non-statutory share options, share appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSUs, unrestricted stock awards, cash-based awards, performance stock awards, performance-based awards to covered employees, and dividend equivalent rights to qualified employees, directors and consultants. The Company currently does not have common stock outstanding or open offering periods under the ESPP.

RSU grants generally vest over four years with 25% vesting on the one year anniversary of the date of grant and 1/12th of the remaining RSUs vesting over the remaining three years, on a quarterly basis. Effective from April 2021, new RSU grants to existing employees vest evenly over four years on a quarterly basis. Performance-based RSUs have non-market performance vesting conditions. Individuals must continue to provide services to the Company in order to vest.

The 2013 U.S. Option Plan allowed for the issuance of options to purchase restricted shares. Effective upon the Company’s IPO, the shares underlying the options converted to Class A ordinary shares, and subsequently, following the U.S. Domestication, converted to Class A Common Stock. Although no future awards will be granted under the Option Plans, they will continue to govern outstanding awards granted thereunder.

All stock-based compensation is measured based on the grant date fair value of the awards and recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the period during which the employee is required to perform services in exchange for the award (generally the four-year vesting period of the award, with the exception of restricted stock).

A summary of RSU activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was as follows (in thousands except share and per share data):


	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Aggregate Intrinsic Value












Balance as of June 30, 2022	6,023,997	$	257.62	$	1,128,897
Granted	7,688,446	$	227.44

Balance as of March 31, 2023	10,550,334	$	240.10	$	1,805,901

As of March 31, 2023, total compensation cost not yet recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to employee and director RSU awards was $1.8 billion, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 years .

During the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not grant shares of restricted stock. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, there were 13,622 and 72,484 shares of restricted stock outstanding, respectively. These outstanding shares of restricted stock are subject to forfeiture or repurchase at the original exercise price during the repurchase period following employee termination, as applicable. The total aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding shares of restricted stock were $2.3 million and $13.6 million as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Of the total stock-based compensation expense, costs recognized for awards granted to non-employees were immaterial for all periods presented.

Share Repurchase Program

In January 2023, the Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of the Company’s outstanding Class A Common Stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Share Repurchase Program does not have a fixed expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares. The Company may repurchase shares of Class A Common Stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including business, economic and market conditions, prevailing stock prices, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other considerations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired approximately 0.2 million shares of its Class A Common Stock for approximately $35.7 million at an average price per share of $158.38. All repurchases were made in open market transactions. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was authorized to purchase a remaining $964.3 million of its Class A Common Stock under the Share Repurchase Program.

17. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock using the two-class method. As the liquidation and dividend rights for both Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are identical, the net income (loss) is allocated on a proportionate basis to the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock stockholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding during the period.

For the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, net income (loss) for basic EPS is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans. The dilutive potential shares of common stock are computed using the treasury stock method or the as-if converted method, as applicable. For the report periods that the Company is in a loss position, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same as diluted net loss per share for all periods as the inclusion of potential dilutive shares would have been anti-dilutive.

The following tables present the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except per share data):

Total	8,198	2,318	7,399	3,710

18. Income Taxes

The Company computes its provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date ordinary income and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. In each quarter, the Company updates the estimated annual effective tax rate and make a year-to-date adjustment to the provision. The estimated annual effective tax rate is subject to volatility due to several factors, including changes in the Company’s domestic and foreign earnings, current cash taxes in jurisdictions with full valuation allowances, material discrete tax items, or a combination of these factors as a result of certain transactions or events.

The Company reported an income tax provision of $53.6 million on pretax loss of $155.4 million and an income tax provision of $162.1 million on pretax loss of $265.7 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, as compared to an income tax provision of $1.6 million on pretax income of $6.3 million and an income tax provision of $4.3 million on pretax loss of $424.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. The income tax provision for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 reflects an increase in tax expense primarily attributable to the recognition of a reserve for uncertain tax positions and overall growth in foreign jurisdictions associated with an increase in profit and non-deductible stock-based compensation. The Company’s effective tax rate substantially differed from the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the recognition of a reserve for uncertain tax positions, different tax rates, non-deductible stock-based compensation in foreign jurisdictions, in addition to full valuation allowances in the U.S. and Australia.

Since fiscal year 2020, the Company has been in unilateral Advanced Pricing Agreement (“APA”) negotiations with the Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”) relating to the Company’s transfer pricing arrangements between Australia and the U.S. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the ATO and the Company discussed, for the first time, a framework to resolve the Company’s transfer pricing arrangements for the proposed APA period (tax years ended June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2025). Given the stage of discussions with the ATO, the Company recorded a reserve for uncertain tax positions of $38.8 million and $117.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, based upon applying the recognition and measurement thresholds of ASC 740. Although the Company’s recorded tax reserves are the best estimate of its liabilities, differences may occur in the future, depending on resolution of the APA negotiations. The negotiations are expected to be finalized within the next 12 months. The gross unrecognized tax benefit of $117.4 million, if realized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company does not have any other material audits or negotiations that are currently in progress.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), enacted on December 22, 2017, eliminates the option to deduct research and development expenditures, instead requiring taxpayers to capitalize and amortize such expenditures over five or fifteen years beginning in fiscal year 2023. If not deferred, modified or repealed, this provision may materially increase future cash taxes.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was enacted on August 16, 2022 and includes various corporate tax provisions, including a new alternative corporate minimum tax on applicable corporations with adjusted financial statement income exceeding $1 billion, on average, over the last three years. As of March 31, 2023, the newly enacted tax provisions are not applicable to the Company.

The Company regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company’s assessment is based on all positive and negative evidence related to the realizability of such deferred tax assets. Based on available objective evidence as of March 31, 2023, the Company will continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on its U.S. federal, U.S. state, and Australian deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company intends to maintain the full valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of, or decrease in, the valuation allowance.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the information contained in Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects for the year ended June 30, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on August 19, 2022.

We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP results, to more fully understand our business.

Company Overview

Our mission is to unleash the potential of every team.

Our products help teams organize, discuss and complete their work — delivering superior outcomes for their organizations.

Our products serve teams of all shapes and sizes, in virtually every industry. Our primary products include Jira Software and Jira Work Management for planning and project management, Confluence for content creation and sharing, Trello for capturing and adding structure to fluid, fast-forming work for teams, Jira Service Management for team service, management and support applications, Jira Align for enterprise agile planning, and Bitbucket for code sharing and management. Together, our products form an integrated system for organizing, discussing and completing shared work, becoming deeply entrenched in how people collaborate and how organizations run.

Our mission is possible with deep investment in product development to create and refine high-quality and versatile products that users love. By making our products affordable for organizations of all sizes and transparently sharing our pricing online for most of our products, we do not follow the practice of opaque pricing and ad hoc discounting that is typical in the enterprise software industry. We pursue customer volume, targeting every organization, regardless of size, industry, or geography. This allows us to operate at unusual scale for an enterprise software company, with more than 250,000 customers across virtually every industry sector in approximately 200 countries as of March 31, 2023. Our customers range from small organizations that have adopted one of our products for a small group of users, to over two-thirds of the Fortune 500, many of which use a combination of our products across thousands of users.

To reach this expansive market, we primarily distribute and sell our products online, without traditional sales infrastructure, where our customers can get started in minutes without the need for assistance. We focus on enabling a self-service, low-friction model that makes it easy for customers to try, adopt and use our products. By making our products simple, powerful, affordable and easy to adopt, we generate demand from word-of-mouth and viral expansion within organizations.

Our culture of innovation, transparency and dedication to customer service drives our success in implementing and refining this unique approach. We believe this approach creates a self-reinforcing effect that fosters innovation, quality, customer success, scale and profitability. As a result of this strategy, we invest significantly more in research and development activities than in traditional sales activities relative to other enterprise software companies.

A substantial majority of our sales are automated through our website, including sales of our products through our solution partners and resellers. Our solution partners and resellers primarily focus on customers in regions that require local language support and other customized needs. We plan to continue to invest in our partner programs to help us enter and grow in new markets, complementing our automated, low-touch approach.

We generate revenues primarily in the form of subscriptions, maintenance and other sources. Subscription revenues consist primarily of fees earned from subscription-based arrangements for providing customers the right to use our software in a cloud-based-infrastructure that we provide (“Cloud offerings”). We also sell on-premises term license agreements for our Data Center products (“Data Center offerings”), consisting of software licensed for a specified period and support and maintenance service that is bundled with the license for the term of the license period. Subscription revenues also include subscription-based agreements for our premier support services. From time to time, we make changes to our product offerings, prices and pricing plans for our products which may impact the growth rate of our revenue, our deferred revenue balances, and customer retention.

Maintenance provides our customers with access to unspecified future updates, upgrades and enhancements and technical product support on an if-and-when-available basis for perpetual license products purchased and operated by our customers on their premises (“Server offerings”). Maintenance revenue combined with our subscription revenue business, through our Cloud and Data Center products, results in a large recurring revenue base. In each of the past three fiscal years, more than 80% of our total revenues have been of a recurring nature from either maintenance fees or subscriptions.

Customers typically pay us maintenance fees annually, at the beginning of each year. We typically recognize revenue on the license portion of term license agreements (Data Center offerings) once the customer obtains control of the license, which is generally upon delivery of the license, and for maintenance and subscriptions, revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Any invoice amounts or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from subscriptions or maintenance are included in our deferred revenue balance. The deferred revenue balance is influenced by several factors, including customer decisions around the timing of renewals, length of contracts and invoice timing within the period. We no longer sell perpetual licenses for our Server offerings. Since February 2022, we no longer sell upgrades to Server offerings and plan to end maintenance and support for these Server offerings in February 2024. We will proactively help our customers transition to other versions of our products with our migration tools and programs, customer support teams, and pricing and packaging options.

Economic Conditions

Our results of operations may vary based on the impact of changes in the global economy on us or our customers. Our business depends on demand for business software applications generally and for collaboration software solutions in particular. We believe that weakening macroeconomic conditions, in part due to rising inflation, increases in interest rates, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and remaining effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, have impacted our results of operations during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023. Primarily, we have seen the growth from existing customers moderate during the nine months ended March 31, 2023. We believe this event is largely due to customers impacted by weakening economic conditions. The extent to which these risks ultimately impact our business, results of operations, and financial position will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

Restructuring

On March 6, 2023, we announced a rebalancing of resources resulting in the elimination of certain roles impacting about 500 full-time employees, or approximately 5% of the Company’s then-current workforce. These actions are part of our initiatives to accelerate progress against our highest priorities. These actions include continuing to invest in strategic areas of the business, and aligning talent to best meet customer needs and business priorities. In addition, we are consolidating our leases, including planned subleasing of several office spaces, to optimize our real estate footprint. We continue to evaluate our real estate needs and may incur additional charges in the future.

A summary of our restructuring charges for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 by major activity type is as follows (in thousands):


	Severance and Other Termination Benefits		Stock-based Compensation		Lease Consolidation		Total
Cost of revenue	$	1,066	$	288	$	7,893	$	9,247
Research and development	8,271		6,046		29,004		43,321
Marketing and sales	7,293		1,909		14,984		24,186
General and administrative	9,163		2,506		9,425		21,094
Total	$	25,793	$	10,749	$	61,306	$	97,848

We expect the execution of these actions, including cash payments, will be substantially complete by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. Refer to Note 15, “Restructuring,” to the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Key Business Metrics

We utilize the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions.

Customers

We have successfully demonstrated a history of growing both our customer base and spend per customer through growth in users, purchase of new licenses and adoption of new products. We believe that our ability to attract new customers and grow our customer base drives our success as a business.

We define the number of customers at the end of any particular period to be the number of organizations with unique domains that have at least one active and paid non-starter license or subscription, with two or more seats. While a single customer may have distinct departments, operating segments, or subsidiaries with multiple active licenses or subscriptions of our products, if the product deployments share a unique domain name, we only include the customer once for purposes of calculating this metric. We define active licenses as those licenses that are under an active maintenance or subscription contract as of period end.

Our customers, as defined in this metric, have generated substantially all of our revenue in each of the periods presented. Including single-user accounts and organizations who have only adopted our free or starter products, the active use of our products extends well beyond our more than 250,000 customers. With these customers using our software today, we are able to reach a vast number of users, gather insights to refine our offerings and generate growing revenue by expanding within our customer base. No single customer contributed more than 5% of our total revenues during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.

The following table sets forth our number of customers:


	As of
	March 31, 2022	June 30, 2022	September 30, 2022	December 31, 2022	March 31, 2023
Number of customers	234,575	242,623	249,173	253,177	259,775

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities for capital expenditures. 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 financial position. Free cash flow is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities. In addition, free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences among methods of calculation. The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow for the periods presented (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	352,369	$	334,709	$	595,336	$	606,165
Less: Capital expenditures	(2,691)		(26,473)		(23,227)		(45,935)
Free cash flow	$	349,678	$	308,236	$	572,109	$	560,230

Free cash flow increased by $41.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The net increase of free cash flow was primarily attributable to the net increase of net cash provided by operating activities and a decrease in capital expenditures. The net increase of net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in cash received from customers, offset by an increase in cash paid to suppliers and employees.

Free cash flow increased by $11.9 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The net increase of free cash flow was primarily attributable to a decrease in capital expenditures, offset by the net decrease in net cash provided by operating activities. The net decrease of net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in cash paid to suppliers and employees and cash used to pay income taxes, offset by an increase in cash received from customers.

For more information about net cash provided by operating activities, please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Components of Results of Operations

On September 30, 2022, the Company completed the U.S. Domestication to change its publicly traded parent company from a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales to a Delaware corporation. In fiscal year 2022 and prior periods, we prepared our financial information in accordance with IFRS. As a consequence of becoming a U.S. domestic issuer, beginning with the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2022, we are required to present our financial information in accordance with GAAP. The below financial information has been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial information should not be expected to correspond to figures we have previously presented under IFRS.

Sources of Revenues

Subscription Revenues

Subscription revenues consist primarily of fees earned from subscription-based arrangements for providing customers the right to use our software in a cloud-based-infrastructure that we provide. We also sell on-premises term license agreements for our Data Center products, which consist of software licensed for a specified period and include support and maintenance services that are bundled with the license for the term of the license period. Subscription revenues also include subscription-based agreements for our premier support services. Subscription revenues are driven primarily by the number and size of active licenses, the type of product and the price of the licenses. Our subscription-based arrangements generally have a contractual term of one to twelve months, with a majority being one month. For cloud-based services, subscription revenue is recognized ratably as services are performed, commencing with the date the service is made available to customers. For Data Center products, we recognize revenue upfront for the portion that relates to the delivery of the term license and the support and related revenue is recognized ratably as the services are delivered over the term of the arrangement. Premier support consists of subscription-based arrangements for a higher level of support across different deployment options, and revenue is recognized ratably as the services are delivered over the term of the arrangement.

Maintenance Revenues

Maintenance revenues represent fees earned from providing customers unspecified future updates, upgrades and enhancements and technical product support for perpetual license products on an if-and-when-available basis. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the support period.

Other Revenues

We expect subscription revenue to increase and continue to be our primary driver of revenue growth as our customers continue to migrate to our Cloud and Data Center offerings. Migrating our larger customers to the cloud continues to be one of our most important priorities over the next several years. Consistent with our strategy, our Server business is expected to contract. Maintenance revenue is expected to decline as Server customers migrate to our Cloud and Data Center offerings.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues primarily consists of expenses related to compensation expenses for our employees, including stock-based compensation, hosting our cloud infrastructure, which includes third-party hosting fees and depreciation associated with computer equipment and software; payment processing fees; consulting and contractors costs, associated with our customer support and infrastructure service teams; amortization of acquired intangible assets; certain IT program fees; and facilities and related overhead costs. To support our cloud-based infrastructure, we utilize third-party managed hosting facilities and self-managed data centers. We allocate stock-based compensation to personnel costs based on the expense category in which the employee works. We allocate overhead such as information technology costs, rent and occupancy charges in each expense category based on headcount in that category. As such, general overhead expenses are reflected in cost of revenues and operating expense categories.

Our cost of revenues also includes amortization of acquired intangible assets, such as the amortization of the cost associated with an acquired company’s developed technology.

We expect cost of revenues to increase as we continue to invest in our cloud-based infrastructure to support migrations and our cloud customers.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit is total revenues less total cost of revenues. Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenues. Gross margin can fluctuate from period to period as a result of changes in product and services mix.

We expect gross margin to decrease due to the sales mix shift from Server offerings to Cloud offerings. This impact will be primarily driven by increased hosting costs as well as additional personnel costs to support migrations and our cloud customers.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are classified as research and development, marketing and sales, and general and administrative. For each functional category, the largest component is compensation expenses, which include salaries and bonuses, stock-based compensation, employee benefit costs, and contractor costs. We allocate overhead, such as information technology costs, rent, and occupancy charges in each expense category based on headcount in that category.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation expense for our employees, including stock-based compensation, consulting and contractors costs, contract software development costs, facilities and related overhead costs, certain IT program expenses, and restructuring charges. We continue to focus our research and development efforts on building new products, adding new features and services, integrating acquired technologies, increasing functionality, enhancing our cloud infrastructure and developing our mobile capabilities.

Marketing and Sales

Marketing and sales expenses consist primarily of compensation expense for our employees, including stock-based compensation, marketing and sales programs, consulting and contractors costs, facilities and related overhead costs, certain IT program expenses, and restructuring charges. Marketing programs consist of advertising, promotional events, corporate communications, brand building and product marketing activities such as online lead generation. Sales programs consist of activities and teams focused on supporting our solution partners and resellers, tracking channel sales activity, supporting and servicing our customers by helping them optimize their experience and expand the use of our products across their organizations and helping product evaluators learn how they can use our tools most effectively.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation expense for our employees, including stock-based compensation, for finance, legal, human resources and information technology personnel, consulting and contractors costs, certain IT program expenses, other corporate expenses and facilities and related overhead costs, and restructuring charges.

Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions where we conduct business.

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to our significant investments in research and development, growing our team, as well as investments in infrastructure for our Cloud offerings. We also incurred additional tax expense from the recognition of reserves for uncertain tax positions during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023. Additionally, we initiated a rebalancing of resources and lease consolidation in March 2023, which resulted in total restructuring charges of $97.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These items are monitored and analyzed by us for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and such differences could be material.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations may require judgment.

We allocate the transaction price for each contract to each performance obligation based on the relative SSP for each performance obligation. We use judgment in determining the SSP for products and services. We typically determine an SSP range for our products and services, which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. For all performance obligations other than perpetual and term licenses, we are able to determine SSP based on the observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. In instances where performance obligations do not have observable standalone sales, we utilize available information that may include market conditions, pricing strategies, the economic life of the software, and other observable inputs to estimate the price we would charge if the products and services were sold separately.

Our products are generally sold with a right of return, we may provide other credits or incentives, and, in certain instances, we estimate customer usage of our services, which are accounted for as variable consideration when determining the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period if additional information becomes available. Variable consideration was not material for the periods presented.

Strategic Investments

Investments in privately held equity securities without readily determinable fair values in which we do not own a controlling interest or have significant influence over are measured using the measurement alternative. In applying the measurement alternative, the carrying value of the investment is measured at cost, less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer in the period of occurrence. In determining the estimated fair value of our strategic investments in privately held companies, we use the most recent data available to us. Valuations of privately held

securities are inherently complex due to the lack of readily available market data and require the use of judgment. The determination of whether an orderly transaction is for an identical or similar investment requires significant judgment. In our evaluation, we consider factors such as differences in the rights and preferences of the investments and the extent to which those differences would affect the fair values of those investments.

We assess our privately held debt and equity securities’ strategic investment portfolio quarterly for impairment. Our impairment analysis encompasses an assessment of both qualitative and quantitative analyses of key factors including the investee’s financial metrics, market acceptance of the investee’s product or technology, general market conditions and liquidity considerations. If the investment is considered to be impaired, we record the investment at fair value by recognizing an impairment through the condensed consolidated statements of operations and establishing a new carrying value for the investment.

Valuation of Minority Interest in Equity Method Investment

In July 2022, we completed a non-cash sale of our controlling interest in VFT to a third-party buyer. VFT was established for the construction project associated with our new Australian HQ Property. We retained a minority equity interest of 13% in the form of ordinary shares and have significant influence in VFT. VFT was deconsolidated at the time of the sale, and we accounted for our retained equity interest as an equity method investment in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We used our best estimates and assumptions to accurately determine the fair value of our retained equity interest in VFT. The estimation is primarily due to the judgmental nature of the inputs to the valuation model used to measure fair value and the sensitivity to the significant underlying assumptions. Our estimates are inherently uncertain. We used a discounted cash flow model to calculate the fair value of our retained equity interest. The significant inputs to the valuation included observable market inputs, including capitalization rate, discount rate, and other management inputs, including the underlying building practical completion date. These assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions and construction progress.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows and the relative risk of achieving those cash flows. Assumptions and estimates about future values can be subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy.

Income Tax

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to (i) temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are recognized subject to management’s judgment that realization is more likely than not applicable to the periods in which we expect the temporary difference will reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not expected to be realized. Future realization of deferred tax assets ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods available under the applicable tax law. We regularly review the deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. Our judgment regarding future profitability may change due to many factors, including future market conditions and the ability to successfully execute our business plans and tax planning strategies. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax assets, our income tax provision would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment is changed.

In the multiple tax jurisdictions in which we operate, our tax returns are subject to routine audit by the Internal Revenue Service, Australian Tax Office, and other taxation authorities. These audits at times may produce

alternative views regarding certain tax positions taken in the year(s) of review. As a result, we record uncertain tax positions, which require recognition at the time when it is deemed more likely than not that the position in question will be upheld. Although management believes that the judgment and estimates involved are reasonable and that the necessary provisions have been recorded, changes in circumstances or unexpected events could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Total revenues increased $175.0 million, or 24%, in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Growth in total revenues was primarily attributable to increased demand for our products from both new and existing customers. Of total revenues recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2023, over 90% was attributable to sales to customer accounts existing on or before December 31, 2022. Our number of total customers increased to 259,775 at March 31, 2023 from 234,575 at March 31, 2022.

Subscription revenues increased $205.6 million, or 37%, in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in subscription revenues was primarily attributable to additional subscriptions from our existing customer base, and customers migrating to subscription services for our Cloud offerings and term-based licenses for our Data Center offerings.

Maintenance revenues decreased $26.1 million, or 22%, in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. We no longer offer upgrades to perpetual licenses beginning February 2022, and plan to end maintenance and support for these products in February 2024.

Other revenues decreased $4.5 million, or 7%, in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in other revenues was primarily attributable to a decrease of $11.8 million in perpetual license revenues as we discontinued selling new perpetual licenses for our products beginning February 2021, offset by an increase of $7.1 million in revenue from sales of third-party apps through our Atlassian Marketplace.

We reported an income tax provision of $53.6 million on pretax loss of $155.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to an income tax provision of $1.6 million on pretax income of $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2023 reflects an increase in tax provision primarily attributable to the recognition of a reserve for uncertain tax positions and overall growth in foreign jurisdictions associated with an increase in profit and non-deductible stock-based compensation. Since fiscal year 2020, we have been in unilateral Advanced Pricing Agreement (“APA”) negotiations with the Australian Tax Office (“ ATO”) relating to our transfer pricing arrangements between Australia and the U.S. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we continued our discussion with the ATO regarding a framework to resolve our transfer pricing arrangements for the proposed APA period (tax years ended June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2025). Given the stage of discussions with the ATO during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded an additional reserve for uncertain tax positions of $38.8 million based upon applying the recognition and measurement thresholds of ASC 740. Although our recorded tax reserves are the best estimate of our liabilities, differences may occur in the future, depending on resolution of the APA negotiations. The negotiations are expected to be finalized within the next 12 months. The gross unrecognized tax benefit of $38.8 million, if realized, would affect our effective tax rate. We do not have any other material audits or negotiations that are currently in progress.

Our effective tax rate substantially differed from the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 21.0% primarily attributable to the recognition of a reserve for uncertain tax positions, different tax rates, non-deductible stock-based compensation in foreign jurisdictions, and full valuation allowances in the U.S. and Australia. See Note 18, “Income Tax,” to the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Our future effective annual tax rate may be materially impacted by the expense or benefit from tax amounts associated with our foreign earnings that are taxed at rates different from the federal statutory rate, level of profit before tax, accounting for uncertain tax positions, business combinations and changes in our valuation allowances to the extent sufficient positive evidence becomes available, closure of statute of limitations or settlement of tax audits, and changes in tax laws, including impacts of the TCJA. The TCJA, enacted on December 22, 2017, eliminates the option to deduct research and development expenditures, instead requiring taxpayers to capitalize and amortize such expenditures over five or fifteen years beginning in fiscal year 2023. If not deferred, modified or repealed, this provision may materially increase future cash taxes.

statutory tax rates. Changes in our global operations could result in changes to our effective tax rates, future cash flows, and overall profitability of our operations.

Since fiscal year 2020, we have been in unilateral APA negotiations with the ATO relating to our transfer pricing arrangements between Australia and the U.S. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, we discussed with the ATO, for the first time, a framework to resolve our transfer pricing arrangements for the proposed APA period (tax years ended June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2025). Given the stage of discussions with the ATO during the nine months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a reserve for uncertain tax positions of $117.4 million based upon applying the recognition and measurement thresholds of ASC 740. Although our recorded tax reserves are the best estimate of our liabilities, differences may occur in the future, depending on resolution of the APA negotiations. The negotiations are expected to be finalized within the next 12 months. The gross unrecognized tax benefit of $117.4 million, if realized, would affect our effective tax rate. We do not have any other material audits or negotiations that are currently in progress.

We regularly assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Our assessment is based on all positive and negative evidence related to the realizability of such deferred tax assets. Based on available objective evidence as of March 31, 2023, we will continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal, U.S. state, and Australian deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. We intend to maintain the full valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of, or decrease in, the valuation allowance.

Our future effective annual tax rate may be materially impacted by the expense or benefit from tax amounts associated with our foreign earnings that are taxed at rates different from the federal statutory rate, changes in valuation allowances, level of profit before tax, accounting for uncertain tax positions, business combinations, and changes in our valuation allowances to the extent sufficient positive evidence becomes available, closure of statute of limitations or settlement of tax audits, and changes in tax laws, including impacts of the TCJA. The TCJA, enacted on December 22, 2017, eliminates the option to deduct research and development expenditures, instead

requiring taxpayers to capitalize and amortize such expenditures over five or fifteen years beginning in fiscal year 2023. If not deferred, modified or repealed, this provision may materially increase future cash taxes.

A significant amount of our earnings is generated by our Australian subsidiaries. Our future effective tax rates may be adversely affected to the extent earnings are lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower statutory tax rates. Changes in our global operations could result in changes to our effective tax rates, future cash flows, and overall profitability of our operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $2.0 billion, short-term investments totaling $10.0 million and accounts receivables totaling $346.3 million. Since our inception, we have primarily financed our operations through cash flows generated by operations and corporate debt.

Our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities for the periods presented were as follows (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	595,336	$	606,165
Net cash provided by investing activities	22,302		59,614
Net cash used in financing activities	(30,350)		(403,659)
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	(996)		(2,638)
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	586,292	$	259,482

Cash provided by operating activities has historically been affected by the amount of net loss adjusted for non-cash expense items such as depreciation and amortization, depreciation of right-of-use assets, expense associated with stock-based awards, gain on non-cash sale of controlling interest of a subsidiary and non-coupon impact related to the Notes and Capped Calls, the timing of employee-related costs such as bonus payments, collections from our customers, which is our largest source of operating cash flows, income tax payment and changes in other working capital accounts.

Accounts impacting working capital consist of accounts receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payables, current provisions, and current deferred revenue. Our working capital may be impacted by various factors in future periods, such as billings to customers for subscriptions, licenses and maintenance services and the subsequent collection of those billings or the amount and timing of certain expenditures.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $10.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The net decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in cash paid to suppliers and employees and cash used to pay income taxes, offset in part by an increase in cash received from customers.

Net cash provided by investing activities decreased by $37.3 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The net decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $185.6 million from proceeds from sales of marketable securities and strategic investments, offset by a decrease of $84.5 million from purchases of strategic investments, a decrease of $22.7 million from purchases of property and equipment, and a decrease of $16.3 million from business combinations, net of cash acquired.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $373.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to repurchases of Class A Common Stock of $31.7 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to the full settlement of the Notes for an aggregate consideration of $1.5 billion, offset by proceeds from the Term Loan Facility of $1.0 billion and proceeds from settlement of capped call transaction of $135.5 million.

Liquidity and Material Cash Requirements

Debt

We have fully drawn our $1 billion Term Loan Facility, and we have access to a $500 million Revolving Credit Facility (the Revolving Credit Facility, and together with the Term Loan Facility is the “Credit Facility”). The Credit

Facility matures in October 2025 and bears interest, at our option, at a base rate plus a margin up to 0.50% or LIBOR rate plus a spread of 0.875% to 1.50%, in each case with such margin being determined by our consolidated leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid, and re-borrowed until its maturity, and we have the option to request an increase of $250 million in certain circumstances. The Credit Facility may be repaid at our discretion without penalty. Commencing on October 31, 2023, we are obligated to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility in installments on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to 1.25% of the Term Loan Facility borrowing amount until the maturity of the Credit Facility.

Contractual Obligations

Our principal commitments consist of obligations under leases for office space including obligations for leases that have not yet commenced, contractual commitments for cloud services platform and other infrastructure services.

Share Repurchase Program

In January 2023, the Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our outstanding Class A Common Stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Share Repurchase Program does not have a fixed expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate us to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased approximately 0.2 million shares of our Class A Common Stock for approximately $35.7 million at an average price per share of $158.38. All repurchases were made in open market transactions. As of March 31, 2023, we were authorized to purchase a remaining $964.3 million of our Class A Common Stock under the Share Repurchase Program.

Other Future Obligations

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, and borrowing capacity from the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our other future cash requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spend on research and development efforts, employee headcount, marketing and sales activities, payments to tax authorities, acquisitions of additional businesses and technologies, the introduction of new software and services offerings, enhancements to our existing software and services offerings and the continued market acceptance of our products.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company is not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. Refer to Note 9, “Leases,” Note 12, “Debt,” Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies,” Note 16, “Stockholder’s Equity,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the measures presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we regularly review other measures that are not presented in accordance with GAAP, defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, prepare financial forecasts and make strategic decisions. The key measures we consider are non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share and free cash flow (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”). These Non-GAAP Financial Measures, which may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies, provide supplemental information regarding our operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges of a non-cash nature or that occur relatively infrequently and/or that management considers to be unrelated to our core operations. Management believes that tracking and presenting these Non-GAAP Financial Measures provides management, our board of directors, investors and the analyst community with the ability to better evaluate matters such as: our ongoing core operations, including comparisons between periods and against other companies in our industry; our ability to generate cash to service our debt and fund our operations; and the underlying business trends that are affecting our performance.

Our Non-GAAP Financial Measures include:

•Non-GAAP gross profit. Excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring charges.

•Non-GAAP operating income and Non-GAAP operating margin. Excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring charges.

•Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. Excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges, non-coupon impact related to exchangeable senior notes and capped calls, gain on a non-cash sale of a controlling interest of a subsidiary and the related income tax effects on these items, and a non-recurring income tax adjustment.

•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.

We understand that although these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are frequently used by investors and the analyst community in their evaluation of our financial performance, these measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We compensate for such limitations by reconciling these Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except percentage and per share data):

(1) Restructuring charges include stock-based compensation expense related to the rebalancing of resources for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.

(2) The effects of these dilutive securities were not included in the GAAP calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and nine months ended March 31, 2022 because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We operate globally and are exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from exposure to various currencies in the ordinary course of business. Our exposures primarily consist of the Australian dollar, Indian rupee, Euro, British pound, Japanese yen, Philippine peso, Canadian dollar, Polish zloty and New Zealand dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises from commercial transactions and recognized financial assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Our financial risk management policy is reviewed annually by our Audit Committee and requires us to monitor our foreign exchange exposure on a regular basis.

The substantial majority of our sales contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars, and our operating expenses are generally denominated in the local currencies of the countries where our operations are located. We therefore benefit from a strengthening of the U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by the weakening of the U.S. dollar.

We have a cash flow hedging program in place and enter into derivative transactions to manage certain foreign currency exchange risks that arise in our ordinary business operations. We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on our condensed consolidated statements of financial position and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting.

We enter into master netting agreements with select financial institutions to reduce our credit risk, and we trade with several counterparties to reduce our concentration risk with any single counterparty. We do not have significant exposure to counterparty credit risk at this time. We do not require nor are we required to post collateral of any kind related to our foreign currency derivatives.

Foreign currency exchange rate exposure

We hedge material foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities using balance sheet hedges. The fluctuations in the fair market value of balance sheet hedges due to foreign currency rates generally offset those of the hedged items, resulting in no material effect on profit. Consequently, we are primarily exposed to significant foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with regard to the spot component of derivatives held within a designated cash flow hedge relationship affecting other comprehensive income.

Foreign currency sensitivity

A sensitivity analysis performed on our hedging portfolio as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 indicated that a hypothetical 10% strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Australian dollar applicable to our business would decrease or increase the fair value of our foreign currency contracts by $39.5 million and $38.2 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from our variable interest rate Credit Facility. Our financial risk management policy is reviewed annually by our Audit Committee and requires us to monitor its interest rate exposure on a regular basis.

We have a hedging program in place and enter into derivative transactions to manage the variable interest rate risks related to our Term Loan Facility. We enter into master netting agreements with financial institutions to execute our hedging program. Our master netting agreements are with select financial institutions to reduce our credit risk, and we trade with several counterparties to reduce our concentration risk with any single counterparty. We do not have significant exposure to counterparty credit risk at this time. We do not require nor are we required to post collateral of any kind related to our interest rate derivatives.

We enter into interest rate swaps with the objective to hedge the variability of cash flows in the interest payments associated with our variable-rate Term Loan Facility. The interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and measured at fair value.

A sensitivity analysis performed on interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 indicated that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the market value of our interest rate swap by $12.5 million and $17.6 million, respectively, and a hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would decrease the market value of our interest rate swap by $14.4 million and $18.8 million, respectively. This estimate is based on a sensitivity model that measures market value changes when changes in interest rates occur.

In addition, our cash equivalents and investment portfolio are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. As of March 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $2.0 billion and short-term investments totaling $10.0 million.

A sensitivity analysis performed on our portfolio as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 indicated that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates did not have a material impact to market value of our investments. This estimate is based on a sensitivity model that measures market value changes when changes in interest rates occur.

Equity Price Risk

We are also exposed to equity price risk in connection with our equity investments. Our marketable equity investments are susceptible to market price risk from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, our marketable equity investments are fair valued at $21.1 million and $30.8 million, respectively. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the respective share prices of our equity investments as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 would increase or decrease the fair value of our marketable equity investments by $2.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2023, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On February 3, 2023, a putative securities class action (the “Putative Class Action”) was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned City of Hollywood Firefighters’ Pension Fund vs. Atlassian Corporation, Case No. 3:23-cv-00519, naming us and certain of our officers as defendants. The lawsuit is purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of our securities between August 5, 2022 and November 3, 2022 (the “Class Period”). The complaint alleges claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on allegedly false and misleading statements about our business and prospects during the Class Period. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. The defendants intend to deny the allegations of wrongdoing and vigorously defend against the claims in this lawsuit.

In March and April 2023, two stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against the members of our board of directors and certain of our officers, captioned Silva v. Cannon-Brookes, Case No. 1:23-cv-00283; and Keane v. Cannon-Brookes, Case No. 1:23-cv-00399. We are named as a nominal defendant. These stockholder derivative lawsuits are based largely on the same allegations as the Putative Class Action, including allegations relating to our disclosures during the Class Period as well as, in certain instances, alleged insider trading. The lawsuits purport to assert claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, and violations of 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief on our behalf. The defendants intend to seek to consolidate these cases and to stay them until resolution of the Putative Class Action. The defendants also intend to deny the allegations of wrongdoing and vigorously defend against the claims in these lawsuits.

In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time, we are party to litigation and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While we do not believe the ultimate resolution of pending legal matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, the results of any litigation or other legal proceedings are uncertain and as such the resolution of such legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. We accrue for loss contingencies when it is both probable that we will incur the loss and when we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or range of loss. For the periods presented, we have not recorded any liabilities as a result of the litigation or other legal proceedings in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

A description of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business is set forth below. You should carefully consider such risks and uncertainties, together with the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in our other public filings. If any such risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could differ materially from the plans, projections and other forward-looking statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other public filings. In addition, if any of the following risks and uncertainties, or if any other risks and uncertainties, actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be harmed substantially.

Risk Factors Summary

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in this section titled “Risk Factors” and summarized below. We have various categories of risks, including risks related to our business and industry, risks related to information technology, intellectual property, data security and privacy, risks related to legal, regulatory, accounting, and tax matters, risks related to ownership of our Class A Common Stock, risks related to our indebtedness, and general risks, which are discussed more fully below. As a result, this risk factors summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to you, and you should read this risk factors summary together with the more detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties set forth following this summary, as well as elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These risks include, but are not limited to, those listed below.

•Our rapid growth makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not continue to grow at or near historical rates.

•We may not be able to sustain our revenue growth rate or achieve profitability in the future.

•The continuing global economic and geopolitical volatility, the COVID-19 pandemic, increased inflation, including any associated economic and social impacts, and measures taken in response to these events, could harm our business and results of operations.

•The markets in which we participate are intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.

•Our distribution model of offering and selling on-premises offerings of certain of our products, in addition to offering and selling Cloud offerings of these products, increases our expenses, may impact revenue recognition timing, and may pose other challenges to our business.

•Our business depends on our customers renewing their subscriptions and maintenance plans and purchasing additional licenses or subscriptions from us, and any decline in our customer retention or expansion could harm our future results of operations.

•If we are not able to develop new products and enhancements to our existing products that achieve market acceptance and that keep pace with technological developments, our business and results of operations could be harmed.

•Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business.

•Our business model relies on a high volume of transactions and affordable pricing. As lower cost or free products are introduced by our competitors, our ability to generate new customers could be harmed.

•If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business and results of operations could be harmed.

•If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to customer data is otherwise obtained, our products may be perceived as insecure, we may lose existing customers or fail to attract new customers, and we may incur significant liabilities.

•Interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure could harm our business and results of operations.

•Real or perceived errors, failures, vulnerabilities or bugs in our products or in the products on Atlassian Marketplace could harm our business and results of operations.

•Changes in laws or regulations relating to data privacy or data protection, or any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with such laws and regulations or our privacy policies, could harm our business and results of operations.

•Because our products rely on the movement of data across national boundaries, global privacy and data security concerns could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our products globally.

•Our global operations and structure subject us to potentially adverse tax consequences.

•The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with certain stockholders, in particular, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and their affiliates, which will limit our other stockholders’ ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our rapid growth makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not continue to grow at or near historical rates.

We have been growing rapidly over the last several years, and as a result, our ability to forecast our future results of operations is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to effectively plan for and model future growth. Our recent and historical growth should not be considered indicative of our future performance. We have encountered in the past, and will encounter in the future, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, such as the recent weakening economic conditions. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, our growth rates may slow, and our business would suffer.

We may not be able to sustain our revenue growth rate or achieve profitability in the future.

Our historical growth rate should not be considered indicative of our future performance and may decline in the future. In future periods, our revenue could grow more slowly than in recent periods or decline for a number of

reasons, including any reduction in demand for our products, increase in competition, limited ability to, or our decision not to, increase pricing, contraction of our overall market, a slower than anticipated adoption of or migration to our Cloud offerings, or our failure to capitalize on growth opportunities. For example, beginning in the first quarter of FY23, we have seen growth from existing customers moderate, which we believe is due to customers being impacted by weakening economic conditions. Additionally, beginning in February 2021, we ceased sales of new perpetual licenses for our products, and beginning in February 2022, we ceased sales of upgrades to these on-premises versions of our products. We also plan to end maintenance and support for these on-premises versions of our products in February 2024. If a significant portion of our customers do not transition to our Cloud or Data Center offerings, our revenue growth rates and profitability may be negatively impacted.

In addition, we expect expenses to increase substantially in the near term, particularly as we continue to make significant investments in research and development and technology infrastructure for our Cloud offerings, expand our operations globally and develop new products and features for, and enhancements of, our existing products. As a result of these significant investments, and in particular stock-based compensation associated with our growth, we may not be able to achieve GAAP profitability in future periods. The additional expenses we will incur may not lead to sufficient additional revenue to maintain historical revenue growth rates and profitability.

The continuing global economic and geopolitical volatility, the COVID-19 pandemic, including any associated economic and social impacts, increased inflation and measures taken in response to these events, could harm our business and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. Additionally, the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has led to further economic disruptions. The conflict has increased inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints, which have negatively impacted the global economy. Inflationary pressure may result in decreased demand for our products and services, increases in our operating costs (including our labor costs), reduced liquidity, and limits on our ability to access credit or otherwise raise capital. In response to the concerns over inflation risk, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates multiple times in 2022 and 2023 and may continue to do so in the future. It is especially difficult to predict the impact of such events on the global economic markets, which have been and will continue to be highly dependent upon the actions of governments, businesses, and other enterprises in response to such events, and the effectiveness of those actions.

The adverse public health developments of COVID-19, including orders to shelter-in-place, travel restrictions, and mandated business closures, have adversely affected workforces, organizations, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn and increased market volatility. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. Following an initial movement to remote work due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we subsequently announced that most employees will have flexibility to work remotely indefinitely. An extended period of remote-work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including cybersecurity risks and increased costs, and impair our ability to effectively manage our business, which may negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition. We are actively monitoring the impacts of the situation and may continue to adjust our current policies and practices as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic change.

Our business depends on demand for business software applications generally and for collaboration software solutions in particular. In addition, the market adoption of our products and our revenue is dependent on the number of users of our products. The COVID-19 pandemic, including intensified measures undertaken to contain the spread of COVID-19, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, increased inflation and interest rates and the resulting economic and social impacts of these events could reduce the number of personnel providing development or engineering services, decrease technology spending, including the purchasing of software products, adversely affect demand for our products, affect our ability to accurately forecast our future results, cause some of our paid customers or suppliers to file for bankruptcy protection or go out of business, affect the ability of our customer support team to conduct in-person trainings or our solutions partners to conduct in-person sales, impact expected spending from new customers or renewals, expansions or reductions in paid seats from existing customers, negatively impact collections of accounts receivable, result in elongated sales cycles, and harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In particular, we have revenue exposure to customers who are small- and medium-sized businesses and to industries that may be disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. If these customers’ business operations and finances are negatively affected, they may not purchase or renew our products, may reduce or delay spending, or request extended payment terms or price concessions, which would negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition. For example, rising interest rates and slowing economic conditions have contributed to the recent failure of banking institutions, such as Silicon Valley Bank and

First Republic Bank. While we have not had any direct exposure to recently failed banking institutions to date, if other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability or our customers’ ability to access existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may be threatened and affect our customers’ ability to pay for our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

The extent to which these factors ultimately impact our business, results of operations, and financial position will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time, including, but not limited to, the continued duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak and related variants, its severity, the actions taken by governments and authorities to contain the virus or treat its impact, the effectiveness of current vaccine and therapeutic treatments, and the extent to which normal economic and operating conditions continue to resume, future developments regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, continued inflationary pressures and governmental actions, such as interest rate increases to respond to such pressures. As a result of these and other recent macroeconomic events, we have seen the growth from existing customers moderate and experienced volatility in the trading prices for our Class A Common Stock, and such volatility may continue in the long term. Any sustained adverse impacts from these and other recent macroeconomic events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and earnings guidance that we may issue from time to time, which could have a material effect on the value of our Class A Common Stock.

The markets in which we participate are intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.

The markets for our solutions are fragmented, rapidly evolving, highly competitive, and have relatively low barriers to entry. We face competition from both traditional, larger software vendors offering full collaboration and productivity suites and smaller companies offering point products for features and use cases. Our principal competitors vary depending on the product category and include Microsoft (including GitHub), IBM, Alphabet, ServiceNow, PagerDuty, Gitlab, Freshworks, Asana, Monday.com, Notion and Smartsheet. In addition, some of our competitors have made acquisitions to offer a more comprehensive product or service offering, which may allow them to compete more effectively with our products. We expect this trend to continue as companies attempt to strengthen or maintain their market positions in an evolving industry. Following such potential consolidations, companies may create more compelling product offerings and be able to offer more attractive pricing options, making it more difficult for us to compete effectively.

Our competitors, particularly our competitors with greater financial and operating resources, may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or customer requirements. With the introduction of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning, the evolution of our products, and new market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. For example, as we continue to expand our focus into new use cases or other product offerings beyond software development teams, we expect competition to increase. Pricing pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales, reduced margins, losses, or the failure of our products to achieve or maintain more widespread market acceptance, any of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Many of our current and potential competitors have greater resources than we do, with established marketing relationships, large enterprise sales forces, access to larger customer bases, pre-existing customer relationships, and major distribution agreements with consultants, system integrators and resellers. Additionally, some current and potential customers, particularly large organizations, have elected, and may in the future elect, to develop or acquire their own internal collaboration and productivity software tools that would reduce or eliminate the demand for our solutions.

Our products seek to serve multiple markets, and we are subject to competition from a wide and varied field of competitors. Some competitors, particularly new and emerging companies with sizeable venture capital investment, could focus all their energy and resources on one product line or use case and, as a result, any one competitor could develop a more successful product or service in a particular market we serve which could decrease our market share and harm our brand recognition and results of operations. For all of these reasons and others we cannot anticipate today, we may not be able to compete successfully against our current and future competitors, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our distribution model of offering and selling on-premises offerings of certain of our products, in addition to offering and selling Cloud offerings of these products, increases our expenses, may impact revenue recognition timing, and may pose other challenges to our business.

We currently offer and sell both on-premises and Cloud offerings of certain of our products. For these products, our Cloud offering enables quick setup and subscription pricing, while our on-premises offering permits more customization, a perpetual or term license fee structure, and complete application control. Historically, these products were developed in the context of our on-premises offering, and we have less operating experience offering and selling these products via our Cloud offering. Although a substantial majority of our revenue has historically been generated from customers using our on-premises products, we believe that over time more customers will move to our Cloud offering, and our Cloud offering will become more central to our distribution model. For example, beginning in February 2021, we ceased sales of new perpetual licenses for our products, and beginning in February 2022, we ceased sales of upgrades to these on-premises versions of our products. We also plan to end maintenance and support for these on-premises versions of our products in February 2024. As more of our customers transition to the cloud, we may be subject to additional competitive and pricing pressures, which could harm our business. Further, as more customers elect our Cloud offering in place of our on-premises offering, revenues from such customers are typically lower in the initial year, which may impact our near-term revenue growth rates and margins. Additionally, we plan to offer discounts to certain of our enterprise-level on-premises customers to incentivize migration to our Cloud offering, which may also impact our near-term revenue growth. If our Cloud offering does not develop as quickly as we expect, if we are unable to continue to scale our systems to meet the requirements of a successful large, Cloud offering, or if we lose customers currently using our on-premises products due to our increased focus on our Cloud offering or our inability to successfully migrate them to our Cloud products, our business could be harmed. We are directing a significant portion of our financial and operating resources to implement a robust Cloud offering for our products and to migrate our existing customers to our Cloud offerings, but even if we continue to make these investments, we may be unsuccessful in growing or implementing our Cloud offering that competes successfully against our current and future competitors and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.

Our business depends on our customers renewing their subscriptions and maintenance plans and purchasing additional licenses or subscriptions from us, and any decline in our customer retention or expansion could harm our future results of operations.

In order for us to maintain or improve our results of operations, it is important that our customers renew their subscriptions and maintenance plans when existing contract terms expire and that we expand our commercial relationships with our existing customers. Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions or maintenance plans, and our customers may not renew subscriptions or maintenance plans with a similar contract duration or with the same or greater number of users. Our customers generally do not enter into long-term contracts, rather they primarily have monthly or annual terms. Some of our customers have elected not to renew their agreements with us and it is difficult to accurately predict long-term customer retention.

Our customer retention and expansion may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction with our products, new market entrants, our product support, our prices and pricing plans, the prices of competing software products, reductions in our customers’ spending levels, new product releases and changes to packaging of our product offerings, mergers and acquisitions affecting our customer base, our increased focus on our Cloud offerings, our decision to end the sale of new perpetual licenses for our products, or the effects of global economic conditions, including the impacts on us or our customers, partners and suppliers from the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation and related interest rate increases. We may be unable to timely address any retention issues with specific customers, which could harm our results of operations. If our customers do not purchase additional licenses or subscriptions or renew their subscriptions or maintenance plans, renew on less favorable terms, or fail to add more users, our revenue may decline or grow less quickly, which could harm our future results of operations and prospects.

If we are not able to develop new products and enhancements to our existing products that achieve market acceptance and that keep pace with technological developments, our business and results of operations could be harmed.

Our ability to attract new customers, and retain and increase revenue from existing customers depends in large part on our ability to enhance and improve our existing products and to introduce compelling new products that reflect the changing nature of our markets. The success of any enhancement to our products depends on several factors, including timely completion and delivery, competitive pricing, adequate quality testing, integration with existing technologies and our platform, and overall market acceptance. Any new product that we develop may

not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain bugs, or may not achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. If we are unable to successfully develop new products, enhance our existing products to meet customer requirements, or otherwise gain market acceptance, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.

If we cannot continue to expand the use of our products beyond our initial focus on software developers, our ability to grow our business could be harmed.

Our ability to grow our business depends in part on our ability to persuade current and future customers to expand their use of our products to additional use cases beyond software developers, including IT and business teams. If we fail to predict customer demands or achieve further market acceptance of our products within these additional areas and teams, or if a competitor establishes a more widely adopted product for these applications, our ability to grow our business could be harmed.

We invest significantly in research and development, and to the extent our research and development investments do not translate into new products or material enhancements to our current products, or if we do not use those investments efficiently, our business and results of operations would be harmed.

A key element of our strategy is to invest significantly in our research and development efforts to develop new products and enhance our existing products to address additional applications and markets. In fiscal years 2022 and 2021, our research and development expenses were 46% and 45% of our revenue, respectively. If we do not spend our research and development budget efficiently or effectively on compelling innovation and technologies, our business could be harmed and we may not realize the expected benefits of our strategy. Moreover, research and development projects can be technically challenging and expensive. The nature of these research and development cycles may cause us to experience delays between the time we incur expenses associated with research and development and the time we are able to offer compelling products and generate revenue, if any, from such investment. Additionally, anticipated customer demand for a product we are developing could decrease after the development cycle has commenced, and we would nonetheless be unable to avoid substantial costs associated with the development of any such product. If we expend a significant amount of resources on research and development and our efforts do not lead to the successful introduction or improvement of products that are competitive in our current or future markets, it could harm our business and results of operations.

If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business and results of operations could be harmed.

We have experienced and expect to continue to experience rapid growth, both in terms of employee headcount and number of customers, which has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management, operational, and financial resources. We operate globally and sell our products to customers in approximately 200 countries. Further, we have employees in Australia, the U.S., the United Kingdom (the “UK”), the Netherlands, the Philippines, Poland, India, Turkey, Canada, Japan, Germany, France and New Zealand and a substantial number of our employees have been with us for fewer than 24 months. We plan to continue to invest in and grow our team, and to expand our operations into other countries in the future, which will place additional demands on our resources and operations. As our business expands across numerous jurisdictions, we may experience difficulties, including in hiring, training, and managing a diffuse and growing employee base.

We have also experienced significant growth in the number of customers, users, transactions and data that our products and our associated infrastructure support. If we fail to successfully manage our anticipated growth and change, the quality of our products may suffer, which could negatively affect our brand and reputation and harm our ability to retain and attract customers. Finally, our organizational structure is becoming more complex and if we fail to scale and adapt our operational, financial, and management controls and systems, as well as our reporting systems and procedures, to manage this complexity, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed. We will require significant capital expenditures and the allocation of management resources to grow and change in these areas.

Our recent restructuring may not result in anticipated alignment with customer needs and business priorities or operational efficiencies, could result in total costs and expenses that are greater than expected, and could disrupt our business.

On March 6, 2023, we announced a plan to reduce our global headcount by approximately 5% and to reduce our office space. These actions are part of our initiatives to better position ourselves to execute against our largest growth opportunities. This includes continuing to invest in strategic areas of the business, aligning talent to best meet customer needs and business priorities, and consolidating our leases for purposes of optimizing operational efficiency. We may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events

that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of these actions. We may not realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits from this restructuring due to unforeseen difficulties, delays or unexpected costs. If we are unable to realize the expected operational efficiencies from the restructuring, we may need to undertake additional restructuring activities, and our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Furthermore, our restructuring efforts may be disruptive to our operations and could yield unanticipated consequences, such as attrition beyond planned staff reductions, increased difficulties in our day-to-day operations and reduced employee morale. If employees who were not affected by the reduction in force seek alternative employment, this could result in unplanned additional expenses to ensure adequate resourcing or harm our productivity. Our restructuring could also harm our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel who are critical to our business, the failure of which could adversely affect our business.

Our corporate values have contributed to our success, and if we cannot maintain these values as we grow, we could lose the innovative approach, creativity, and teamwork fostered by our values, and our business could be harmed.

We believe that a critical contributor to our success has been our corporate values, which we believe foster innovation, teamwork, and an emphasis on customer-focused results. In addition, we believe that our values create an environment that drives and perpetuates our product strategy and low-cost distribution approach. As we undergo substantial growth in our customers and employee base, transition to a remote-first “Team Anywhere” work environment, and continue to develop the infrastructure of a public company, we may find it difficult to maintain our corporate values. Any failure to preserve our values could harm our future success, including our ability to retain and recruit personnel, innovate and operate effectively, and execute on our business strategy.

Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business.

Our quarterly financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. If our quarterly financial results fall below the expectations of investors or any securities analysts who follow us, the price of our Class A Common Stock could decline substantially. Factors that may cause our revenue, results of operations and cash flows to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include, but are not limited to:

•our ability to attract new customers, retain and increase sales to existing customers, and satisfy our customers’ requirements;

•the timing of customer renewals;

•changes in our or our competitors’ pricing policies and offerings;

•new products, features, enhancements, or functionalities introduced by our competitors;

•the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the operations and expansion of our business;

•significant security breaches, technical difficulties, or interruptions to our products;

•our increased focus on our Cloud offerings, including customer migrations to our cloud products;

•the number of new employees added or, conversely, reductions in force;

•changes in foreign currency exchange rates or adding additional currencies in which our sales are denominated;

•the amount and timing of acquisitions or other strategic transactions;

•extraordinary expenses such as litigation or other dispute-related settlement payments;

•general economic conditions, such as recent inflation and related interest rate increases, that may adversely affect either our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase additional licenses, subscriptions, and maintenance plans, delay a prospective customer’s purchasing decisions, reduce the value of new license, subscription, or maintenance plans, or affect customer retention;

•the impact of political and social unrest, natural disasters, climate change, diseases and pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and any associated economic downturn, on our results of operations and financial performance;

•seasonality in our operations;

•the impact of new accounting pronouncements and associated system implementations; and

•the timing of the grant or vesting of equity awards to employees, contractors, or directors.

Many of these factors are outside of our control, and the occurrence of one or more of them might cause our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows to vary widely. As such, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

We may require additional capital to support our operations or the growth of our business and we cannot be certain that we will be able to secure this capital on favorable terms, or at all.

We may require additional capital to respond to business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions, a decline in the level of license, subscription or maintenance revenue for our products, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, or other unforeseen circumstances. We may not be able to timely secure debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. This inability to secure additional debt or equity financing could be exacerbated in times of economic uncertainty and tighter credit, such as is currently the case in the U.S. and abroad. In addition, recent increases in interest rates could make any debt financing that we are able to secure much more expensive than in the past. Our current Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants and any future debt financing obtained by us could involve restrictive covenants relating to financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity, convertible debt securities or other securities convertible into equity, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of Atlassian, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our Class A Common Stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

If our current marketing model is not effective in attracting new customers, we may need to incur additional expenses to attract new customers and our business and results of operations could be harmed.

Unlike traditional enterprise software vendors, who rely on direct sales methodologies and face long sales cycles, complex customer requirements and substantial upfront sales costs, we primarily utilize a viral marketing model to target new customers. Through this word-of-mouth marketing, we have been able to build our brand with relatively low marketing and sales costs. We also build our customer base through various online marketing activities as well as targeted web-based content and online communications. This strategy has allowed us to build a substantial customer base and community of users who use our products and act as advocates for our brand and solutions, often within their own corporate organizations. Attracting new customers and retaining existing customers requires that we continue to provide high-quality products at an affordable price and convince customers of our value proposition. If we do not attract new customers through word-of-mouth referrals, our revenue may grow more slowly than expected, or decline. In addition, high levels of customer satisfaction and market adoption are central to our marketing model. Any decrease in our customers’ satisfaction with our products, including as a result of our own actions or actions outside of our control, could harm word-of-mouth referrals and our brand. If our customer base does not continue to grow through word-of-mouth marketing and viral adoption, we may be required to incur significantly higher marketing and sales expenses in order to acquire new subscribers, which could harm our business and results of operations.

One of our marketing strategies is to offer free trials, limited free versions or affordable starter licenses for certain products, and we may not be able to realize the benefits of this strategy.

We offer free trials, limited free versions or affordable starter licenses for certain products in order to promote additional usage, brand and product awareness, and adoption. Historically, a majority of users never convert to a paid version of our products from these free trials or limited free versions or upgrade beyond the starter license. Our marketing strategy also depends in part on persuading users who use the free trials, free versions or starter licenses of our products to convince others within their organization to purchase and deploy our products. To the extent that these users do not become, or lead others to become, customers, we will not realize the intended benefits of this marketing strategy, and our ability to grow our business could be harmed.

Our business model relies on a high volume of transactions and affordable pricing. As lower cost or free products are introduced by our competitors, our ability to generate new customers could be harmed.

Our business model is based in part on selling our products at prices lower than competing products from other commercial vendors. For example, we offer entry-level or free pricing for certain products for small teams at a price that typically does not require capital budget approval and is orders-of-magnitude less than the price of traditional enterprise software. As a result, our software is frequently purchased by first-time customers to solve specific problems and not as part of a strategic technology purchasing decision. We have historically increased, and will continue to increase, prices from time to time. As competitors enter the market with low cost or free alternatives to our products, it may become increasingly difficult for us to compete effectively and our ability to garner new customers could be harmed. Additionally, some customers may consider our products to be discretionary purchases, which may contribute to reduced demand for our offerings in times of economic uncertainty, including the current environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation and related interest rate increases. If we are unable to sell our software in high volume, across new and existing customers, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

Our sales model does not rely primarily on a direct enterprise sales force, which could impede the growth of our business.

Our sales model does not rely primarily on traditional, quota-carrying sales personnel. Although we believe our business model can continue to scale without a large, direct enterprise sales force, our viral marketing model may not continue to be as successful as we anticipate, and the absence of a large, direct, enterprise sales function may impede our future growth. As we continue to scale our business, a more traditional sales infrastructure could assist in reaching larger enterprise customers and growing our revenue. Identifying, recruiting, training, and retaining such a qualified sales force would require significant time, expense and attention and would significantly impact our business model. In addition, expanding our sales infrastructure would considerably change our cost structure and results of operations, and we may have to reduce other expenses, such as our research and development expenses, in order to accommodate a corresponding increase in marketing and sales expenses and maintain positive free cash flow. If our lack of a large, direct enterprise sales force limits us from reaching larger enterprise customers and growing our revenue, and we are unable to hire, develop, and retain talented sales personnel in the future, our revenue growth and results of operations could be harmed.

We derive a majority of our revenue from Jira Software and Confluence.

We derive a majority of our revenue from Jira Software and Confluence. As such, the market acceptance of these products is critical to our success. Demand for these products and our other products is affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, such as continued market acceptance of our products by customers for existing and new use cases, the timing of development and release of new products, features, functionality and lower cost alternatives introduced by our competitors, technological changes and developments within the markets we serve, and growth or contraction in our addressable markets. If we are unable to continue to meet customer demands or to achieve more widespread market acceptance of our products, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.

We recognize certain revenue streams over the term of our subscription and maintenance contracts. Consequently, downturns in new sales may not be immediately reflected in our results of operations and may be difficult to discern.

We generally recognize subscription and maintenance revenue from customers ratably over the terms of their contracts. As a result, a significant portion of the revenue we report in each quarter is derived from the recognition of deferred revenue relating to subscription and maintenance plans entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed licenses, subscriptions, and maintenance plans in any single quarter may only have a small impact on our revenue results for that quarter. However, such a decline will negatively affect our revenue in future quarters. Accordingly, the effect of significant downturns in sales and market acceptance of our products, and potential changes in our pricing policies or rate of expansion or retention, may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. For example, the impact of the current economic uncertainty may cause customers to request concessions, including better pricing, or to slow their rate of expansion or reduce their number of licenses, which may not be reflected immediately in our results of operations. We may also be unable to reduce our cost structure in line with a significant deterioration in sales. In addition, a significant majority of our costs are expensed as incurred, while a significant portion of our revenue is recognized over the life of the agreement with our customer. As a result, increased growth in the number of our customers could continue to result in our recognition of more costs than revenue in the earlier periods of the terms of certain of our customer agreements.

Our subscription and maintenance revenue also makes it more difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue through additional sales in any period, as revenue from certain new customers must be recognized over the applicable term.

If the Atlassian Marketplace does not continue to be successful, our business and results of operations could be harmed.

We operate the Atlassian Marketplace, an online marketplace, for selling third-party, as well as Atlassian-built, apps. We rely on the Atlassian Marketplace to supplement our promotional efforts and build awareness of our products, and believe that third-party apps from the Atlassian Marketplace facilitate greater usage and customization of our products. If we do not continue to add new vendors and developers, are unable to sufficiently grow the number of cloud apps our customers demand, or our existing vendors and developers stop developing or supporting the apps that they sell on Atlassian Marketplace, our business could be harmed.

In addition, third-party apps on Atlassian Marketplace may not meet the same quality standards that we apply to our own development efforts and, in the past, third-party apps have caused disruptions affecting multiple customers. To the extent these apps contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or defects, such apps may create disruptions in our customers’ use of our products, lead to data loss or unauthorized access to customer data, they may damage our brand and reputation, and affect the continued use of our products, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Any failure to offer high-quality product support could harm our relationships with our customers and our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In deploying and using our products, our customers depend on our product support teams to resolve complex technical and operational issues. We may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in customer demand for product support. We also may be unable to modify the nature, scope and delivery of our product support to compete with changes in product support services provided by our competitors. Increased customer demand for product support, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and harm our results of operations. In addition, as we continue to grow our operations and reach a global and vast customer base, we need to be able to provide efficient product support that meets our customers’ needs globally at scale. The number of our customers has grown significantly and that has put additional pressure on our product support organization. The end customers may also reach out to us requesting support for third-party apps sold on the Atlassian Marketplace. In order to meet these needs, we have relied in the past and will continue to rely on third-party vendors to fulfill requests about third-party apps and self-service product support to resolve common or frequently asked questions for Atlassian products, which supplement our customer support teams. If we are unable to provide efficient product support globally at scale, including through the use of third-party vendors and self-service support, our ability to grow our operations could be harmed and we may need to hire additional support personnel, which could harm our results of operations. For example, in April 2022, a very small subset of our customers experienced a full outage across their Atlassian cloud products due to a faulty script used during a maintenance procedure. While we restored access for these customers with minimal to no data loss, these affected customers experienced disruptions in using our cloud products during the outage. Our sales are highly dependent on our business reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing customers. Any failure to maintain high-quality product support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality product support, could harm our reputation, our ability to sell our products to existing and prospective customers, and our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If we are unable to develop and maintain successful relationships with our solution partners, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.

We have established relationships with certain solution partners to distribute our products. We believe that continued growth in our business is dependent upon identifying, developing and maintaining strategic relationships with our existing and potential solution partners that can drive substantial revenue and provide additional value-added services to our customers. For fiscal year 2022, we derived approximately 40% of our revenue from channel partners’ sales efforts.

Successfully managing our indirect channel distribution efforts is a complex process across the broad range of geographies where we do business or plan to do business. Our solution partners are independent businesses we do not control. Notwithstanding this independence, we still face legal risk and reputational harm from the activities of our solution partners including, but not limited to, export control violations, workplace conditions, corruption and anti-competitive behavior.

Our agreements with our existing solution partners are non-exclusive, meaning they may offer customers the products of several different companies, including products that compete with ours. They may also cease marketing our products with limited or no notice and with little or no penalty. We expect that any additional solution partners we identify and develop will be similarly non-exclusive and unbound by any requirement to continue to market our products. If we fail to identify additional solution partners in a timely and cost-effective manner, or at all, or are unable to assist our current and future solution partners in independently distributing and deploying our products, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed. If our solution partners do not effectively market and sell our products, or fail to meet the needs of our customers, our reputation and ability to grow our business could also be harmed.

Many of our solution partners have historically relied on a combination of in-person and remote interactions to manage and build relationships with our customers. As a result of work and travel restrictions due to COVID-19, many of our solution partners’ activities adjusted their activities to remote only. Many of our solutions partners are now re-opening offices and conducting customers visits as needed; however, any additional travel or work restrictions could have a negative impact on our solution partners’ ability to sell our products.

Our Credit Facility and overall debt level may limit our flexibility in obtaining additional financing and in pursuing other business opportunities or operating activities.

Our Credit Facility requires compliance with various financial and non-financial covenants, including affirmative covenants relating to the provision of periodic financial statements, compliance certificates and other notices, maintenance of properties and insurance, payment of taxes and compliance with laws and negative covenants, including, among others, restrictions on the incurrence of certain indebtedness, granting of liens and mergers, dissolutions, consolidations and dispositions. The Credit Facility also provides for a number of events of default, including, among others, failure to make a payment, bankruptcy, breach of a covenant, representation and warranty, default under material indebtedness (other than the Credit Facility), change of control and judgment defaults.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we may be restricted from engaging in business or operating activities that may otherwise improve our business or from financing future operations or capital needs. Failure to comply with the covenants, including the financial covenant, if not cured or waived, will result in an event of default that could trigger acceleration of our indebtedness, which would require us to repay all amounts owing under our Credit Facility and could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Overdue amounts under the Credit Facility accrue interest at a default rate. We cannot be certain that our future operating results will be sufficient to ensure compliance with the financial covenant in our Credit Facility or to remedy any defaults. In addition, in the event of default and related acceleration, we may not have or be able to obtain sufficient funds to make the accelerated payments required under the Credit Facility.

We continue to have the ability to incur additional debt, subject to the limitations in our Credit Facility. Our level of debt could have important consequences to us, including the following:

•our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes may be impaired or such financing may not be available on favorable terms;

•we may need a substantial portion of our cash flow to make principal and interest payments on our debt, reducing the funds that would otherwise be available for investment in operations and future business opportunities;

•our debt level will make us more vulnerable than our competitors with less debt to competitive pressures or a downturn in our business or the economy generally; and

•our debt level may limit our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions.

Our ability to service our debt will depend upon, among other things, our future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. If our operating results are not sufficient to service our current or future indebtedness, we will be forced to take actions such as reducing or delaying our business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our debt, or seeking additional equity capital or bankruptcy protection. We may not be able to effect any of these remedies on satisfactory terms to us or at all.

In addition, our Credit Facility has a floating interest rate that is based on variable and unpredictable U.S. and international economic risks and uncertainties and an increase in interest rates, such as has occurred recently and is expected in the future, may negatively impact our financial results. We enter into interest rate hedging transactions that reduce, but do not eliminate, the impact of unfavorable changes in interest rates. We attempt to minimize credit exposure by limiting counterparties to internationally recognized financial institutions, but even these counterparties are subject to default and contract risk and this risk is beyond our control. There is no guarantee that our hedging efforts will be effective or, if effective in one period will continue to remain effective in future periods.

Our Credit Facility utilizes LIBOR to calculate the amount of accrued interest on any borrowings. Following announcements by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, and ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, which administers LIBOR publication, publication of most LIBOR settings ceased after December 31, 2021, and the remaining LIBOR settings are expected to cease after June 30, 2023. Our Credit Facility identifies the Secured Overnight Financing Right (“SOFR”) as the replacement reference rate. SOFR is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight that is collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. However, because SOFR is a broad U.S. Treasury repo financing rate that represents overnight secured funding transactions, it differs fundamentally from LIBOR. A change from LIBOR to SOFR could result in interest obligations that are more than or that do not otherwise correlate over time with the payments that would have been made on this debt if LIBOR were available in its current form. This may have a negative effect on our financing costs. The impact of the transition from LIBOR to SOFR is uncertain at this time and the consequences of such developments cannot be entirely predicted, but could result in an increase in the cost of our borrowings under our existing Credit Facility and any future borrowings.

If we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation as a differentiated and category-defining company is critical to our relationships with our existing customers and to our ability to attract new customers. The successful promotion of our brand attributes will depend on a number of factors, including our and our solution partners’ marketing efforts, our ability to continue to develop high-quality products, our ability to minimize and respond to errors, failures, outages, vulnerabilities or bugs, and our ability to successfully differentiate our products from competitive products. In addition, independent industry analysts often provide analyses of our products, as well as the products offered by our competitors, and perception of the relative value of our products in the marketplace may be significantly influenced by these analyses. If these analyses are negative, or less positive as compared to those of our competitors’ products, our brand may be harmed.

The promotion of our brand requires us to make substantial expenditures, and we anticipate that the expenditures will increase as our market becomes more competitive, as we expand into new markets, and as more sales are generated through our solution partners. To the extent that these activities yield increased revenue, this revenue may not offset the increased expenses we incur. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our brand, our business may not grow, we may have reduced pricing power relative to competitors, and we could lose customers or fail to attract new customers, any of which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Legal, regulatory, social and ethical issues relating to the use of new and evolving technologies, such as AI and machine learning, in our offerings may result in reputational harm and liability.

We are building AI and machine learning into our products. The rapid evolution of AI and machine learning will require the application of resources to develop, test and maintain our products and services to help ensure that AI and machine learning are implemented ethically in order to minimize unintended, harmful impact. Failure to properly do so may cause us to incur increased research and development costs, or divert resources from other development efforts, to address social and ethical issues related to AI and machine learning. As with many cutting-edge innovations, AI and machine learning present new risks and challenges. Existing laws and regulations may apply to us or our vendors in new ways and new laws and regulations may be instituted, the effects of which are difficult to predict. The risks and challenges presented by AI and machine learning could undermine public confidence in AI and machine learning, which could slow its adoption and affect our business. If we enable or offer AI and machine learning products that draw controversy due to their perceived or actual impact on human rights, intellectual property, privacy, employment, or in other social contexts, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm or legal liability. Data practices by us or others that result in controversy could also impair the acceptance of AI solutions. This in turn could undermine the decisions, predictions or analysis AI applications produce, subjecting us to competitive harm, legal liability and brand or reputational harm.

Uncertainty around new and emerging AI applications such as generative AI content creation may require additional investment in the development of proprietary datasets, machine learning models and systems to test for accuracy, bias and other variables, which are often complex, may be costly and could impact our profit margin as we expand generative AI into our product offerings. Developing, testing and deploying AI systems may also increase the cost profile of our offerings due to the nature of the computing costs involved in such systems. Potential government regulation related to AI ethics may also increase the burden and cost of research and development in this area. Employees, customers, or customers’ customers who are dissatisfied with our public statements, policies, practices, or solutions related to the development and use of AI and machine learning may express opinions that could introduce reputational or business harm, or legal liability.

If we fail to integrate our products with a variety of operating systems, software applications, platforms and hardware that are developed by others, our products may become less marketable, less competitive, or obsolete and our results of operations could be harmed.

Our products must integrate with a variety of network, hardware, and software platforms, and we need to continuously modify and enhance our products to adapt to changes in hardware, software, networking, browser and database technologies. In particular, we have developed our products to be able to easily integrate with third-party applications, including the applications of software providers that compete with us, through the interaction of application programming interfaces (“APIs”). In general, we rely on the fact that the providers of such software systems continue to allow us access to their APIs to enable these customer integrations. To date, we have not relied on long-term written contracts to govern our relationship with these providers. Instead, we are subject to the standard terms and conditions for application developers of such providers, which govern the distribution, operation and fees of such software systems, and which are subject to change by such providers from time to time. Our business could be harmed if any provider of such software systems:

•discontinues or limits our access to its APIs;

•modifies its terms of service or other policies, including fees charged to, or other restrictions on us or other application developers;

•changes how customer information is accessed by us or our customers;

•establishes more favorable relationships with one or more of our competitors; or

•develops or otherwise favors its own competitive offerings over ours.

We believe a significant component of our value proposition to customers is the ability to optimize and configure our products with these third-party applications through our respective APIs. If we are not permitted or able to integrate with these and other third-party applications in the future, demand for our products could decline and our business and results of operations could be harmed.

In addition, an increasing number of organizations and individuals within organizations are utilizing mobile devices to access the internet and corporate resources and to conduct business. We have designed and continue to design mobile applications to provide access to our products through these devices. If we cannot provide effective functionality through these mobile applications as required by organizations and individuals that widely use mobile devices, we may experience difficulty attracting and retaining customers. Failure of our products to operate effectively with future infrastructure platforms and technologies could also reduce the demand for our products, resulting in customer dissatisfaction and harm to our business. If we are unable to respond to changes in a cost-effective manner, our products may become less marketable, less competitive or obsolete and our results of operations could be harmed.

Acquisitions of, or investments in, other businesses, products, or technologies could disrupt our business, and we may be unable to integrate acquired businesses and technologies successfully or achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions.

We have completed a number of acquisitions and strategic investments and continue to evaluate and consider additional strategic transactions, including acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses, technologies, services, products, and other assets in the future. We also may enter into strategic relationships with other businesses to expand our products, which could involve preferred or exclusive licenses, additional channels of distribution, discount pricing or investments in other companies.

Any acquisition, investment or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties assimilating or integrating the businesses, technologies,

products, personnel, or operations of the acquired companies, particularly if the key personnel of the acquired companies choose not to work for us, their software and services are not easily adapted to work with our products, or we have difficulty retaining the customers of any acquired business due to changes in ownership, management or otherwise. Acquisitions may also disrupt our business, divert our resources, and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for development of our existing business. We may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired technology or personnel, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition transaction, including accounting charges. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment, or business relationship may not be realized or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities.

In the future, we may not be able to find suitable acquisition or strategic investment candidates, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions or strategic investments on favorable terms, if at all. Our previous and future acquisitions or strategic investments may not achieve our goals, and any future acquisitions or strategic investments we complete could be viewed negatively by users, customers, developers or investors.

Negotiating these transactions can be time consuming, difficult and expensive, and our ability to complete these transactions may often be subject to approvals that are beyond our control. Consequently, these transactions, even if announced, may not be completed. For one or more of those transactions, we may:

•issue additional equity securities that would dilute our existing stockholders;

•use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business;

•incur large charges, expenses, or substantial liabilities;

•incur debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to repay;

•encounter difficulties retaining key employees of the acquired company or integrating diverse software codes or business cultures; and

•become subject to adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation, impairment, or deferred compensation charges.

We are subject to risks associated with our strategic investments, including partial or complete loss of invested capital. Significant changes in the value of this portfolio could negatively impact our financial results.

We have strategic investments in publicly traded and privately held companies in both domestic and international markets, including in emerging markets. These companies range from early-stage companies to more mature companies with established revenue streams and business models. Many such companies generate net losses and the market for their products, services or technologies may be slow to develop, and, therefore, they are dependent on the availability of later rounds of financing from banks or investors on favorable terms to continue their operations. The financial success of our investment in any privately held company is typically dependent on a liquidity event, such as a public offering, acquisition or other favorable market event reflecting appreciation relative to the cost of our initial investment. Likewise, the financial success of our investment in any publicly held company is typically dependent upon an exit in favorable market conditions, and to a lesser extent on liquidity events. The capital markets for public offerings and acquisitions are dynamic and the likelihood of successful liquidity events for the companies we have invested in could significantly worsen. Further, valuations of privately held companies are inherently complex due to the lack of readily available market data.

Privately held companies in which we invest have in the past and others may in the future undertake an initial public offering. We may also decide to invest in companies in connection with or as part of such company’s initial public offering or other transactions directly or indirectly resulting in it being publicly traded. Therefore, our investment strategy and portfolio have also expanded to include public companies. In certain cases, our ability to sell these investments may be constrained by contractual obligations to hold the securities for a period of time after a public offering, including market standoff agreements and lock-up agreements.

All of our investments, especially our investments in privately held companies, are subject to a risk of a partial or total loss of investment capital. In addition, we have in the past, and may in the future, continue to deploy material investments in individual investee companies, resulting in the increasing concentration of risk in a small number of companies. Partial or complete loss of investment capital of these individual companies could be material to our financial statements.

The expected benefits of the U.S. Domestication may not be realized.

On September 30, 2022, we completed the U.S. Domestication. We believe that the U.S. Domestication will increase access to a broader set of investors, support inclusion in additional stock indices, streamline our corporate structure, and provide more flexibility in accessing capital and, as a result, will be beneficial to our business and operations, the holders of our ordinary shares, and other stakeholders. The success of the U.S. Domestication will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits associated with the U.S. Domestication and associated reorganization of our corporate structure. There can be no assurance that all of the anticipated benefits of the U.S. Domestication will be achieved, particularly as the achievement of the benefits are subject to factors that we do not and cannot control.

We expect to incur additional costs related to the U.S. Domestication, including non-recurring costs as well as recurring costs resulting from financial reporting obligations of being a “domestic issuer” as opposed to a “foreign private issuer” in the United States.

We will incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses that may exceed the expenses we incurred prior to the U.S. Domestication. The obligations of being a public company in the U.S. require significant expenditures and will place significant demands on our management and other personnel, including costs resulting from public company reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations regarding corporate governance practices, including those under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market. These rules require that we maintain effective disclosure and financial controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting and changes in corporate governance practices, among many other complex rules that are often difficult to monitor and maintain compliance with. While we were subject to many of these requirements prior to the U.S. Domestication, additional legal and accounting requirements apply to us following the U.S. Domestication. Our management and other personnel will need to devote additional time to ensure compliance with all of these requirements and to keep pace with new regulations, otherwise we may fall out of compliance and risk becoming subject to litigation or being delisted, among other potential problems.

Risks Related to Information Technology, Intellectual Property, and Data Security and Privacy

If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to customer data is otherwise obtained, our products may be perceived as insecure, we may lose existing customers or fail to attract new customers, and we may incur significant liabilities.

Use of our products involves the storage, transmission, and processing of our customers’ proprietary data, including potentially personal or identifying information. Unauthorized access to, or security breaches of, our products could result in unauthorized access to data and information, and the loss, compromise or corruption of such data and information. In the event of a security breach, we could suffer loss of business, severe reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence, regulatory investigations and orders, litigation, indemnity obligations, damages for contract breach, penalties for violation of applicable laws or regulations, significant costs for remediation, and other liabilities. We have incurred and expect to incur significant expenses to prevent security breaches, including costs related to deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees, and engaging third-party solution providers and consultants. Our errors and omissions insurance coverage covering certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses may not be sufficient to compensate for all liabilities we may incur.

Although we expend significant resources to create security protections that shield our customer data against potential theft and security breaches, such measures cannot provide absolute security. We have in the past experienced breaches of our security measures. Certain breaches have resulted in unauthorized access to certain data processed through our products. Our products are at risk for future breaches, including, without limitation, breaches that may occur as a result of third-party action, including from state actors, or employee, vendor or contractor error or malfeasance, and other causes. For example, the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine may result in a heightened threat environment and create unknown cyber risks, including increased risk of retaliatory cyber-attacks from Russian actors against non-Russian companies. Additionally, we have transitioned to a remote-first “Team Anywhere” work environment that may pose additional data security risks.

As we further transition to selling our products via our Cloud offerings, continue to collect more personal and sensitive information, and operate in more countries, our risks continue to increase and evolve. For instance, we rely on third-party partners to develop apps on the Atlassian Marketplace that connect with and enhance our Cloud offerings for our customers. These apps may not meet the same quality standards that we apply to our own

development efforts and may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or defects that could pose data security risks. Our ability to mandate security standards and ensure compliance by these third parties may be limited. Additionally, our products may be subject to vulnerabilities in the third-party software on which we rely. For example, in December 2021, a vulnerability in a widely-used open-source software application, known as Apache Log4j, was identified that could have allowed bad actors to remotely access a target, potentially stealing data or taking control of a target’s system. We promptly worked to remediate vulnerabilities related to Apache Log4j in our products while working with our partners to ensure the same. While this issue has not materially affected our business, reputation or financial results, there is no guarantee that our actions effectively remediated the vulnerabilities and there is no assurance that other incidents could not occur in the future with a material adverse effect on our business. We are likely to face increased risks that real or perceived vulnerabilities of our systems could seriously harm our business and our financial performance, by tarnishing our reputation and brand and limiting the adoption of our products.

Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. We may also experience security breaches that may remain undetected for an extended period and, therefore, have a greater impact on the products we offer, the proprietary data processed through our services, and, ultimately, on our business.

Interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure could harm our business and results of operations.

We rely heavily on our network infrastructure and information technology systems for our business operations, and our continued growth depends in part on the ability of our existing and potential customers to access our solutions at any time and within an acceptable amount of time. In addition, we rely almost exclusively on our websites for the downloading of, and payment for, all our products. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, disruptions, data loss and corruption, outages and other performance problems with our infrastructure and websites due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, introductions of new functionality, human or software errors, capacity constraints, denial of service attacks, or other security-related incidents. In some instances, we have not been able to, and in the future may not be able to, identify the cause or causes of these performance problems within an acceptable period of time. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our performance, especially during peak usage times and as our products and websites become more complex and our user traffic increases.

If our products and websites are unavailable, if our users are unable to access our products within a reasonable amount of time, or at all, or if our information technology systems for our business operations experience disruptions, delays or deficiencies, our business could be harmed. Moreover, we provide service level commitments under certain of our paid customer cloud contracts, pursuant to which we guarantee specified minimum availability. If we fail to meet these contractual commitments, we could be obligated to provide credits for future service, or face contract termination with refunds of prepaid amounts related to unused subscriptions, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. From time to time, we have granted, and in the future will continue to grant, credits to paid customers pursuant to, and sometimes in addition to, the terms of these agreements. For example, in April 2022, a very small subset of our customers experienced a full outage across their Atlassian cloud products due to a faulty script used during a maintenance procedure. While we restored access for these customers with minimal to no data loss, these affected customers experienced disruptions in using our cloud products during the outage. We incurred certain costs associated with offering service level credits and other concessions to these customers, although the overall impact did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. However, other future events like this may materially and adversely impact our results of operations or financial condition. Further, disruptions, data loss and corruption, outages and other performance problems in our cloud infrastructure may cause customers to delay or halt their transition to our Cloud offerings, to the detriment of our increased focus on our Cloud offerings, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Additionally, we depend on services from various third parties, including Amazon Web Services, to maintain our infrastructure and distribute our products via the internet. Any disruptions in these services, including as a result of actions outside of our control, would significantly impact the continued performance of our products. In the future, these services may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any of these services could result in decreased functionality of our products until equivalent technology is either developed by us or, if available from another provider, is identified, obtained and integrated into our infrastructure. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed, and

continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

Real or perceived errors, failures, vulnerabilities or bugs in our products or in the products on Atlassian Marketplace could harm our business and results of operations.

Errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs may occur in our products, especially when updates are deployed or new products are rolled out. Our solutions are often used in connection with large-scale computing environments with different operating systems, system management software, equipment, and networking configurations, which may cause errors, failures of products, or other negative consequences in the computing environment into which they are deployed. In addition, deployment of our products into complicated, large-scale computing environments may expose errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs in our products. Any such errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs have in the past been, and in the future may not be, found until after they are deployed to our customers. Real or perceived errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs in our products have and could result in negative publicity, loss of or unauthorized access to customer data, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position, or claims by customers for losses sustained by them, all of which could harm our business and results of operations.

Changes in laws or regulations relating to data privacy or data protection, or any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with such laws and regulations or our privacy policies, could harm our business and results of operations.

Privacy and data security have become significant issues in the U.S., Europe and in many other jurisdictions where we offer our products. The regulatory framework for the collection, use, retention, safeguarding, sharing, disclosure, and transfer of data worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future.

Globally, virtually every jurisdiction in which we operate has established its own data security and privacy frameworks with which we, and/or our customers, must comply. These laws and regulations often are more restricted than those in the United States.

The European General Data Protection regulation (“GDPR”), which is supplemented by national laws in individual member states and the guidance of national supervisory authorities and the European Data Protection Board, applies to any company established in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) as well as to those outside the EEA if they collect and use personal data in connection with the offering of goods or services to individuals in the EEA or the monitoring of their behavior. GDPR enhances data protection obligations for processors and controllers of personal data, including, for example, expanded disclosures about how personal information is collected and used, limitations on retention of information, mandatory data breach notification requirements, and extensive obligations on services providers. Non-compliance can trigger steep fines of up to €20 million or four percent of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. In addition, the UK has established its own domestic regime with the UK GDPR and amendments to the Data Protection Act, which so far mirrors the obligations in the GDPR, poses similar challenges and imposes substantially similar penalties.

Data protection is an area of increased focus and changing requirements. Among the recent developments, data transfers have been under increasing scrutiny by regulators in the EEA and UK. Specifically, the July 16, 2020 case of Data Protection Commissioner v. Facebook Ireland Limited and Maximillian Schrems (“Schrems II”) requires organizations to ensure that data is protected to a standard that is “essentially equivalent” to that under GDPR and/or other applicable laws and to document compliance with this requirement. As another example, the EEA is in the process of finalizing the e-Privacy Regulation to replace the European e-Privacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC). We may face difficulties in marketing to current and potential customers under applicable laws, which impacts our ability to spread awareness of our products and services and, in turn, grow a customer base. As rules evolve, we also expect to incur in additional costs to comply with new requirements.

Additionally, in the U.S., various laws and regulations apply to the collection, processing, disclosure and security of certain types of data, including the Federal Trade Commission Act, and state equivalents, the Electronic

Communications Privacy Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. There are also various state laws relating to privacy and data security. The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) as modified by California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), broadly defines personal information and gives California residents expanded privacy rights and protections and provides for civil penalties for violations and a private right of action for data breaches.

Since the CPRA passed, various other states have each passed their own comprehensive privacy statutes that share similarities with CCPA and CPRA. Some observers see this influx of state privacy regimes as a trend towards more stringent privacy legislation in the United States, including a potential federal privacy law, all of which could increase our potential liability and adversely affect our business.

We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws and regulations around the globe and we cannot yet determine the full impact these developments may have on our business, nor assure ongoing compliance with all such laws or regulations. For example, countries are considering legal frameworks on AI, which is a trend that may increase now that the European Commission (the “EC”) of the European Union (the “EU”) has proposed the first such framework. The interpretation and application of these laws are, and will likely remain, uncertain, and it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data management practices or product features. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits and other claims and penalties, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our products, which could harm our business. Any inability to adequately address privacy and data security concerns or comply with applicable privacy or data security laws, regulations and policies could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales, and harm our business.

Moreover, record-breaking enforcement actions globally have shown that regulators wield their right to impose substantial fines for violations of privacy regulations, and these enforcement actions could result in guidance from regulators that would require changes to our current compliance strategy. Given the breadth and depth of changes in data protection obligations, complying with global data protection requirements requires time, resources, and a review of our technology and systems currently in use against regulatory requirements.

In addition, privacy advocates and industry groups may propose new and different self-regulatory standards that either legally or contractually apply to us. Further, our customers may require us to comply with more stringent privacy and data security contractual requirements or obtain certifications that we do not currently have, and any failure to obtain these certifications could reduce the demand for our products and our business could be harmed. If we were required to obtain additional industry certifications, we may incur significant additional expenses and have to divert resources, which could slow the release of new products, all of which could harm our ability to effectively compete.

Further, any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policies, our privacy-related obligations to users or other third parties, or any other legal obligations or regulatory requirements relating to privacy, data protection or information security may result in governmental investigations or enforcement actions, litigation, claims or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could result in significant liability, cause our users to lose trust in us, and otherwise materially and adversely affect our reputation and business. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations and policies that are applicable to the businesses of our users may limit the adoption and use of, and reduce the overall demand for, our platform. Additionally, if third parties we work with violate applicable laws, regulations or agreements, such violations may put our users’ data at risk, could result in governmental investigations or enforcement actions, fines, litigation, claims, or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could result in significant liability, cause our users to lose trust in us and otherwise materially and adversely affect our reputation and business. Further, public scrutiny of, or complaints about, technology companies or their data handling or data protection practices, even if unrelated to our business, industry or operations, may lead to increased scrutiny of technology companies, including us, and may cause government agencies to enact additional regulatory requirements, or to modify their enforcement or investigation activities, which may increase our costs and risks.

Because our products rely on the movement of data across national boundaries, global privacy and data security concerns could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our products globally.

Certain privacy legislation restricts the cross-border transfer of personal data and some countries have introduced or are currently considering legislation that imposes local storage and processing of data to avoid any form of transfer to a third country, or other restrictions on transfer and disclosure of personal data, outside of that country. Specifically, the EEA and UK data protection laws generally prohibit the transfer of personal data to third

countries, including to the U.S., unless the transfer is to an entity established in a third country deemed to provide adequate protection or the parties to the transfer implement supplementary safeguards and measures to protect the transferred personal data. Currently, where we transfer personal data from the EEA and the UK to third countries outside the EEA and UK that are not deemed to be “adequate,” such as the U.S., we rely on standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”) (a standard form of contract approved by the EC as an adequate personal data transfer mechanism, and potential alternative to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework (“Privacy Shield”)).

In Schrems II, though the court upheld the adequacy of the SCCs, it made clear that reliance on them alone may not necessarily be sufficient in all circumstances. Use of the SCCs must now be assessed on a case-by-case basis taking into account the legal regime applicable in the destination country, in particular applicable surveillance laws and rights of individuals and additional measures and/or contractual provisions may need to be put in place, as per the contractual requirement built into the EC’s new SCCs and the UK equivalent to conduct and document Data Transfer Impact Assessments addressing these issues. The Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) further stated that if a competent supervisory authority believes that the SCCs cannot be complied with in the destination country and the required level of protection cannot be secured by other means, such supervisory authority is under an obligation to suspend or prohibit that transfer. Supervisory authorities have pursued enforcement in cases where they have deemed the level of protection in the destination country to be insufficient.

U.S. and EU officials are actively seeking a solution to replace the Privacy Shield, which was invalidated by the CJEU in its Schrems II judgment. There is no clear timeline for the enactment of this new framework. Moreover, once enacted, the new framework is likely to be subject to legal challenges and may be struck down by the CJEU.

SCCs and other international data transfer mechanisms and data localization requirements will continue to evolve and face additional scrutiny across the EEA, the UK and other countries. We continue to monitor and update our data protection compliance strategy accordingly and will continue to explore other options for processing and transferring data from the EEA and UK, including without limitation, conducting (or assisting data exporters in conducting) assessments and due diligence of the related data flows and destination countries across our supply chain and customer base, re-evaluating and amending our contractual and organizational arrangements, all of this activity may involve substantial expense and distraction from other aspects of our business.

To the extent we are unsuccessful in establishing an adequate mechanism for international data transfers or do not comply with the applicable requirements in respect of international transfers of data and localization, there is a risk that any of our data transfers could be halted or restricted. In addition, we could be at risk of enforcement action taken by an EEA or UK data protection authority including regulatory action, significant fines and penalties (or potential contractual liabilities) until such point in time that we ensure an adequate mechanism for EEA and UK data transfers to the U.S. and other countries is in place. This could damage our reputation, inhibit sales and harm our business.

We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement or misappropriation of their intellectual property rights.

There is considerable patent and other intellectual property development activity in our industry. Our future success depends in part on not infringing upon or misappropriating the intellectual property rights of others. We have received, and may receive in the future, communications and lawsuits from third parties, including practicing entities and non-practicing entities, claiming that we are infringing upon or misappropriating their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to be infringing upon or misappropriating such rights. We may be unaware of the intellectual property rights of others that may cover some or all of our technology, or technology that we obtain from third parties. Any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty or license payments, prevent us from offering our products or using certain technologies, require us to implement expensive workarounds, refund fees to customers or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. In the case of infringement or misappropriation caused by technology that we obtain from third parties, any indemnification or other contractual protections we obtain from such third parties, if any, may be insufficient to cover the liabilities we incur as a result of such infringement or misappropriation. We may also be obligated to indemnify our customers or business partners in connection with any such claims or litigation and to obtain licenses, modify our products or refund fees, which could further exhaust our resources. Even if we were to prevail in the event of claims or litigation against us, any claim or litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and other employees from our business operations and disrupt our business.

Indemnity provisions in various agreements potentially expose us to substantial liability for intellectual property infringement and other losses.

Our agreements with customers and other third parties may include indemnification or other provisions under which we agree to indemnify or otherwise be liable to them for losses suffered or incurred as a result of claims of intellectual property infringement, damages caused by us to property or persons, or other liabilities relating to or arising from our products or other acts or omissions. The term of these contractual provisions often survives termination or expiration of the applicable agreement. Large indemnity payments or damage claims from contractual breach could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Although we generally contractually limit our liability with respect to such obligations, we may still incur substantial liability related to them. Any dispute with a customer with respect to such obligations could have adverse effects on our relationship with that customer and other current and prospective customers, reduce demand for our products, damage our reputation and harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We use open source software in our products that may subject our products to general release or require us to re-engineer our products, which could harm our business.

We use open source software in our products and expect to continue to use open source software in the future. There are uncertainties regarding the proper interpretation of and compliance with open source software licenses. Consequently, there is a risk that the owners of the copyrights in such open source software may claim that the open source licenses governing their use impose certain conditions or restrictions on our ability to use the software that we did not anticipate. Such owners may seek to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license, including by demanding release of the source code for the open source software, derivative works of such software, or, in some cases, our proprietary source code that uses or was developed using such open source software. These claims could also result in litigation, require us to purchase a costly license or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our products, any of which could result in additional cost, liability and reputational damage to us, and harm to our business and results of operations. In addition, if the license terms for the open source software we utilize change, we may be forced to re-engineer our products or incur additional costs to comply with the changed license terms or to replace the affected open source software. Although we have implemented policies and tools to regulate the use and incorporation of open source software into our products, we cannot be certain that we have not incorporated open source software in our products in a manner that is inconsistent with such policies.

Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and our brand.

Our success and ability to compete depend in part upon our intellectual property. We primarily rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, customers, business partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate. We make business decisions about when to seek patent protection for a particular technology and when to rely upon trade secret protection, and the approach we select may ultimately prove to be inadequate. Even in cases where we seek patent protection, there is no assurance that the resulting patents will effectively protect every significant feature of our products. In addition, we believe that the protection of our trademark rights is an important factor in product recognition, protecting our brand and maintaining goodwill and if we do not adequately protect our rights in our trademarks from infringement, any goodwill that we have developed in those trademarks could be lost or impaired, which could harm our brand and our business. In any event, in order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights.

For example, in order to promote the transparency and adoption of our downloadable software, we provide our customers with the ability to request a copy of the source code of those products, which they may customize for their internal use under limited license terms, subject to confidentiality and use restrictions. If any of our customers misuses or distributes our source code in violation of our agreements with them, or anyone else obtains access to our source code, it could cost us significant time and resources to enforce our rights and remediate any resulting competitive harms.

Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time consuming and distracting to management. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights, which could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property rights. Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our brand and our business.

Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory, Accounting, and Tax Matters

Our global operations and structure subject us to potentially adverse tax consequences.

We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income-based taxes in the U.S., Australia and various other jurisdictions. Significant judgement is often required in the determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rate could be impacted by changes in our earnings and losses in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in transfer pricing, changes in operations, changes in non-deductible expenses, changes in excess tax benefits of stock-based compensation expense, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and our ability to utilize them, the applicability of withholding taxes, effects from acquisitions, and changes in accounting principles and tax laws. Any changes or uncertainty in taxing jurisdictions’ administrative interpretations, decisions, policies and positions could also materially impact our income tax liabilities. Our intercompany relationships are subject to complex transfer pricing regulations administered by taxing authorities in various jurisdictions. The relevant revenue and taxing authorities may disagree with positions we have taken generally, or our determinations as to the value of assets sold or acquired, or income and expenses attributable to specific jurisdictions. For example, we are in ongoing negotiations with the ATO to establish a unilateral APA relating to our transfer pricing arrangements between Australia and the U.S., and have recorded a related uncertain tax position. Although the Company’s recorded tax reserves are the best estimate of its liabilities, differences may occur in the future, depending on resolution of the APA negotiations. In addition, in the ordinary course of our business we are subject to tax audits from various taxing authorities. Although we believe our tax positions are appropriate, the final determination of any future tax audits could be materially different from our income tax provisions, accruals and reserves. If such a disagreement were to occur, we could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties, which could result in one-time tax charges, a higher effective tax rate, reduced cash flows and lower overall profitability of our operations.

Tax laws in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions are subject to change. For example, the TCJA, signed into law in 2017, enacted significant tax law changes which impacted our tax obligations and effective tax rate beginning in our fiscal year 2023 tax year. The TCJA eliminates the option to deduct research and development expenditures, instead requiring taxpayers to capitalize and amortize such expenditures over five or fifteen years beginning in fiscal year 2023. Although Congress is considering legislation that would defer the capitalization and amortization requirement, there is no assurance that the provision will be repealed or otherwise modified. The IRA, signed into law in 2022, includes various corporate tax provisions including a new alternative corporate minimum tax on applicable corporations. The IRA tax provisions may become applicable in future years, which could result in additional taxes, a higher effective tax rate, reduced cash flows and lower overall profitability of our operations.

Certain government agencies in jurisdictions where we do business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational companies. In addition, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (the “OECD”) has introduced various guidelines changing the way tax is assessed, collected and governed. Of note are the efforts around base erosion and profit shifting which seek to establish certain international standards for taxing the worldwide income of multinational companies. These measures have been endorsed by the leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies.

In March 2018, the EC proposed a series of measures aimed at ensuring a fair and efficient taxation of digital businesses operating within the EU. As collaborative efforts by the OECD and EC continue, some countries have unilaterally moved to introduce their own digital service tax or equalization levy to capture tax revenue on digital services more immediately. Notably France, Italy, Austria, Spain, the UK, Turkey and India have enacted this tax, generally 2% on specific in-scope sales above a revenue threshold. The EU and the UK have recently established a mandate that focuses on the transparency of cross-border arrangements concerning at least one EU member state through mandatory disclosure and exchange of cross-border arrangements rules. These regulations (known as MDR in the UK and DAC 6 in the EU) require taxpayers to disclose certain transactions to the tax authorities resulting in an additional layer of compliance and require careful consideration of the tax benefits obtained when entering into transactions that need to be disclosed.

The OECD has proposed significant changes to the international tax law framework in the form of the Pillar Two proposal. The proposal aims to provide a set of coordinated rules to prevent multinational enterprises from shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions and to ensure that they pay a minimum level of tax on their global income. The potential effects of Pillar Two may vary depending on the specific provisions and rules implemented by each country that adopts Pillar Two and may include tax rate changes, higher effective tax rates, potential tax disputes and adverse impacts to our cash flows, tax liabilities, results of operations and financial position. A number of countries have agreed to implement the proposal including the members states of the EU, which have agreed to implement

the proposal by December 31, 2023. Pillar Two has not yet been enacted in a majority of countries and we will continue to monitor developments in this area and assess the impact to our business.

Global tax developments applicable to multinational companies may result in new tax regimes or changes to existing tax laws. If the U.S. or foreign taxing authorities change tax laws, our overall taxes could increase, lead to a higher effective tax rate, harm our cash flows, results of operations and financial position.

Taxing authorities may successfully assert that we should have collected or in the future should collect sales and use, value-added or similar taxes, and we could be subject to liability with respect to past or future sales, which could harm our results of operations.

We do not collect sales and use, value-added and similar taxes in all jurisdictions in which we have sales, based on our understanding that such taxes are not applicable. Sales and use, value-added and similar tax laws and rates vary greatly by jurisdiction. Certain jurisdictions in which we do not collect such taxes may assert that such taxes are applicable, which could result in tax assessments, penalties, and interest, and we may be required to collect such taxes in the future. Such tax assessments, penalties and interest, or future requirements could harm our results of operations.

The requirements of being a public company, including additional rules and regulations that we must comply with now that we are not longer a foreign private issuer, may strain our resources, divert management’s attention, and affect our ability to attract and retain executive officers and qualified board members.

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the listing requirements of Nasdaq and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations has increased our legal and financial compliance costs, making some activities more difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and has increased demand on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual reports with respect to our business and results of operations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight is required.

Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, we are no longer a foreign private issuer, and we are required to comply with all of the provisions applicable to a U.S. domestic issuer under the Exchange Act, including filing an annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly periodic reports and current reports for certain events, complying with the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and insiders being liable for profit from trades made in a short period of time. We are also no longer exempt from the requirements of Regulation FD promulgated under the Exchange Act related to selective disclosures. We are also no longer permitted to follow our home country’s rules in lieu of the corporate governance obligations imposed by Nasdaq, and are required to comply with the governance practices required by U.S. domestic issuers listed on Nasdaq. We are also required to comply with all other rules of Nasdaq applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. In addition, we are required to report our financial results under GAAP, including our historical financial results, which have previously been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The regulatory and compliance costs associated with the reporting and governance requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers may be significantly higher than the costs we previously incurred as a foreign private issuer. We expect to continue to incur significant legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses and to expend greater time and resources to comply with these requirements. Additionally, as a result of the complexity involved in complying with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, our management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the pressures of operating a public company may divert management’s attention to delivering short-term results, instead of focusing on long-term strategy. In addition, we may need to develop our reporting and compliance infrastructure and may face challenges in complying with the new requirements applicable to us. If we fall out of compliance, we risk becoming subject to litigation or being delisted, among other potential problems.

Further, as a public company it is more expensive for us to maintain adequate director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and members of our board of directors.

If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our Class A Common Stock could be negatively affected.

As a public company, we are required to maintain internal controls over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal controls. We are required to furnish a report by management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of Class A Common Stock could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

We face exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

While we primarily sell our products in U.S. dollars, we incur expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which exposes us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. A large percentage of our expenses are denominated in the Australian dollar and the Indian rupee, and fluctuations in these currencies could have a material negative impact on our results of operations. Moreover, our subsidiaries, other than our U.S. subsidiaries, maintain net assets that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In addition, we transact in non-U.S. dollar currencies for our products, and, accordingly, changes in the value of non-U.S. dollar currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could affect our revenue and results of operations due to transactional and translational remeasurements that are reflected in our results of operations.

We have a foreign exchange hedging program to hedge a portion of certain exposures to fluctuations in non-U.S. dollar currency exchange rates. We use derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, to hedge the exposures. The use of such hedging instruments may not fully offset the adverse financial effects of unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates over the limited time the hedges are in place. Moreover, the use of hedging instruments may introduce additional risks if we are unable to structure effective hedges with such instruments or if we are unable to forecast hedged exposures accurately.

We are subject to government regulation, including import, export, economic sanctions, and anti-corruption laws and regulations, that may expose us to liability and increase our costs.

Various of our products are subject to U.S. export controls, including the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Export Administration Regulations and economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Controls. These regulations may limit the export of our products and provision of our services outside of the U.S., or may require export authorizations, including by license, a license exception, or other appropriate government authorizations, including annual or semi-annual reporting and the filing of an encryption registration. Export control and economic sanctions laws may also include prohibitions on the sale or supply of certain of our products to embargoed or sanctioned countries, regions, governments, persons and entities. In addition, various countries regulate the importation of certain products through import permitting and licensing requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to distribute our products. Import, export and economic sanctions laws may also change rapidly due to political events, such as has occurred in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The exportation, reexportation, and importation of our products, and the provision of services, including by our solution partners, must comply with these laws or else we may be adversely affected through reputational harm, government investigations, penalties, and a denial or curtailment of our ability to export our products or provide services. Complying with export control and sanctions laws can be time consuming and complex and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities. Although we take precautions to prevent our products from being provided in violation of such laws, we are aware of previous exports of certain of our products to a small number of persons and organizations that are the subject of U.S. sanctions or located in countries or regions subject to U.S. sanctions. If we are found to be in violation of U.S. sanctions or export control laws, it could result in substantial fines and penalties for us and for the individuals working for us. Changes in export or import laws or corresponding sanctions may delay the introduction and sale of our products in international markets, or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our products to certain countries, regions, governments, persons or entities altogether, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are also subject to various domestic and international anti-corruption laws, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act, as well as other similar anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws and

regulations. These laws and regulations generally prohibit companies and their employees and intermediaries from authorizing, offering, or providing improper payments or benefits to officials and other recipients for improper purposes. We rely on certain third parties to support our sales and regulatory compliance efforts and can be held liable for their corrupt or other illegal activities, even if we do not explicitly authorize or have actual knowledge of such activities. Although we take precautions to prevent violations of these laws, our exposure for violating these laws increases as our international presence expands and as we increase sales and operations in additional jurisdictions.

Changes in laws and regulations related to the internet or changes in the internet infrastructure itself may diminish the demand for our products, and could harm our business.

The future success of our business depends upon the continued use of the internet as a primary medium for commerce, communication, and business applications. Federal, state, or foreign government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws or regulations affecting the use of the internet as a commercial medium. Changes in these laws or regulations could require us to modify our products in order to comply with these changes. In addition, government agencies or private organizations have imposed and may impose additional taxes, fees, or other charges for accessing the internet or commerce conducted via the internet. These laws or charges could limit the growth of internet-related commerce or communications generally, or result in reductions in the demand for internet-based products such as ours. In addition, the use of the internet as a business tool could be harmed due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased demands of internet activity, security, reliability, cost, ease-of-use, accessibility, and quality of service. The performance of the internet and its acceptance as a business tool has been harmed by phishing attacks, cyber-attacks, viruses, worms, and similar malicious programs and the internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. If the use of the internet is adversely affected by these issues, demand for our products could decline and our business could be harmed.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, our results of operations could be harmed.

Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act if (i) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities or (ii) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. We do not believe that we are an “investment company,” as such term is defined in either of these sections of the Investment Company Act. We currently conduct, and intend to continue to conduct, our operations so that neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, is required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. If we were obligated to register as an “investment company,” we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act that impose, among other things, limitations on capital structure, restrictions on specified investments, prohibitions on transactions with affiliates, and compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would increase our operating and compliance costs, could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated, and could harm our results of operations.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock

The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with certain stockholders, in particular, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and their affiliates, which will limit our other stockholders’ ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.

Shares of our Class B Common Stock have ten votes per share and shares of our Class A Common Stock have one vote per share. As of March 31, 2023, stockholders who hold our Class B Common Stock collectively hold approximately 88% of the voting power of our outstanding share capital and in particular, our Co-Chief Executive Officers, Michael Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, collectively hold approximately 88% of the voting power of our outstanding share capital. The holders of our Class B Common Stock will collectively continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of our capital stock and therefore be able to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval so long as the outstanding shares of our Class B Common Stock represent at least 10% of all shares of our outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock in the aggregate. These holders of our Class B Common Stock may also have interests that differ from holders of our Class A Common Stock and may vote in a way which may be adverse to such interests. This concentrated control

may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of Atlassian, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of Atlassian and might ultimately affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

If Messrs. Cannon-Brookes and Farquhar retain a significant portion of their holdings of our Class B Common Stock for an extended period of time, they will control a significant portion of the voting power of our capital stock for the foreseeable future. As members of our board of directors, Messrs. Cannon-Brookes and Farquhar each owe statutory and fiduciary duties to Atlassian and must act in good faith and in a manner they consider would be most likely to promote the success of Atlassian for the benefit of stockholders as a whole. As stockholders, Messrs. Cannon-Brookes and Farquhar are entitled to vote their shares in their own interests, which may not always be in the interests of our stockholders generally.

The market price of our Class A Common Stock is volatile and could continue to fluctuate significantly regardless of our operating performance resulting in substantial losses for our Class A ordinary stockholders.

The trading price of our Class A Common Stock is volatile and could continue to fluctuate significantly, regardless of our operating performance, in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

•general economic conditions;

•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations;

•the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections or our failure to meet these projections;

•failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of Atlassian, publication of inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, changes in financial estimates or ratings changes by any securities analysts who follow Atlassian or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;

•announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations, new products, acquisitions, pricing changes, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

•changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of other technology companies generally, or those in our industry in particular;

•price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;

•actual or anticipated developments in our business or our competitors’ businesses or the competitive landscape generally;

•developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or our products, or third-party proprietary rights;

•changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles;

•new laws or regulations, new interpretations of existing laws, or the new application of existing regulations to our business;

•changes in tax laws or regulations;

•any major change in our board of directors or management;

•additional shares of Class A Common Stock being sold into the market by us or our existing stockholders or the anticipation of such sales;

•the existence of our Share Repurchase Program and purchases made pursuant to that program or any failure to repurchase shares as planned, including failure to meet expectations around the timing, price or amount of share repurchases, and any reduction, suspension or termination of our Share Repurchase Program;

•cyber-security and privacy breaches;

•lawsuits threatened or filed against us; and

•other events or factors, including those resulting from geopolitical risks, natural disasters, climate change, diseases and pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, macroeconomic factors such as inflationary pressures or recession, war, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, incidents of terrorism, or responses to these events.

In addition, the stock markets, and in particular the market on which our Class A Common Stock is listed, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies. Stock prices of many technology companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. In February 2023, a purported securities class action complaint was filed against us in federal court. Our involvement in this or other securities litigation could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from operating our business, and harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Substantial future sales of our Class A Common Stock could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to decline.

The market price of our Class A Common Stock could decline as a result of substantial sales of shares of our Class A Common Stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, or the perception in the market that holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares. As of March 31, 2023, we had 151,064,698 outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and 106,179,557 outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.

We have also registered shares of Class A Common Stock that we issue under our employee equity incentive plans. These shares may be sold freely in the public market upon issuance.

Certain holders of our Class A Common Stock and our Class B Common Stock, including our founders, have rights, subject to certain conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or our stockholders. Sales of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to these registration rights may make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. These sales also could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to fall and make it more difficult for our investors to sell our Class A Common Stock at a price that they deem appropriate.

We cannot guarantee that our Share Repurchase Program will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. Repurchases of shares of our Class A Common Stock could also increase the volatility of the trading price of our Class A Common Stock and could diminish our cash reserves.

In January 2023, our board of directors authorized a Share Repurchase Program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our outstanding Class A Common Stock. Under the Share Repurchase Program, stock repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The Share Repurchase Program does not have a fixed expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate us to acquire any amount of Class A Common Stock. The timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchases will be determined by us at our discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including business, economic and market conditions, prevailing stock prices, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other considerations. We cannot guarantee that the Share Repurchase Program will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. The Share Repurchase Program could also affect the trading price of our Class A Common Stock and increase volatility, and any announcement of a reduction, suspension or termination of the Share Repurchase Program may result in a decrease in the trading price of our Class A Common Stock. In addition, repurchasing our Class A Common Stock could diminish our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities available to fund working capital, repayment of debt, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, investments, or business opportunities, and other general corporate purposes.

We do not expect to declare dividends in the foreseeable future.

We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and to fund our Share Repurchase Program, and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends

for the foreseeable future. As a result, stockholders must rely on sales of their shares of Class A Common Stock after price appreciation, if any, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain, and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware General Corporation Law”) contains, provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. These provisions provide for the following:

•a dual-class structure which provides our holders of Class B Common Stock with the ability to significantly influence the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval, even if they own significantly less than a majority of the shares of our outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock;

•no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

•the exclusive right of our board of directors to set the size of the board of directors and to elect a director to fill a vacancy, however occurring, including by an expansion of the board of directors, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;

•the ability of our board of directors to authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including voting or other rights or preferences, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

•the ability of our board of directors to alter our amended and restated bylaws without obtaining stockholder approval;

•in addition to our board of directors’ ability to adopt, amend, or repeal our amended and restated bylaws, our stockholders may adopt, amend, or repeal our amended and restated bylaws only with the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class;

•the required approval of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, to adopt, amend, or repeal certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation;

•the ability of stockholders to act only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders;

•the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by certain specified officers of the Company, a majority of our board of directors then in office or the chairperson of our board of directors;

•advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us; and

•the limitation of liability of, and provision of indemnification to, our directors and officers.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management.

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, including Section 203 thereof, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock.

Any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

Claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated bylaws and our indemnification agreements that we have entered or intend to enter into with our directors and officers provide that:

•we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that a corporation may indemnify such person if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful;

•we may, in our discretion, indemnify employees and agents in those circumstances where indemnification is permitted by applicable law;

•we are required to advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and officers in connection with defending a proceeding, except that such directors or officers will undertake to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification;

•the rights conferred in our amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive, and we are authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors, officers, employees and agents and to obtain insurance to indemnify such persons, both of which we have done; and

•we may not retroactively amend our amended and restated bylaw provisions to reduce our indemnification obligations to directors, officers, employees, and agents.

While we have procured directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, such insurance policies may not be available to us in the future at a reasonable rate, may not cover all potential claims for indemnification, and may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide for an exclusive forum in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for certain disputes between us and our stockholders, and that the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide, that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (a) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or stockholder to the Company or our stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws, or (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine; and (b) the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause or causes of action arising under the Securities Act, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant to such complaint. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Company will be deemed to have notice of and consented to these provisions. Nothing in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws precludes stockholders that assert claims under the Exchange Act, from bringing such claims in federal court to the extent that the Exchange Act confers exclusive federal jurisdiction over such claims, subject to applicable law.

We believe these provisions may benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law and federal securities laws by chancellors and judges, as applicable, particularly experienced in resolving corporate disputes, efficient administration of cases on a more expedited schedule relative to other forums and protection against the burdens of multi-forum litigation. If a court were to find the choice of forum provision that is contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in

other jurisdictions, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. For example, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a forum selection provision as written in connection with claims arising under the Securities Act.

The choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our current or former director, officer or stockholder to the Company, which may discourage such claims against us or any of our current or former director, officer or stockholder to the Company and result in increased costs for investors to bring a claim.

General Risk Factors

Our global operations subject us to risks that can harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

A key element of our strategy is to operate globally and sell our products to customers around the world. Operating globally requires significant resources and management attention and subjects us to regulatory, economic, geographic, and political risks. In particular, our global operations subject us to a variety of additional risks and challenges, including:

•increased management, travel, infrastructure, and legal compliance costs associated with having operations in many countries;

•difficulties in enforcing contracts, including “clickwrap” contracts that are entered into online, of which we have historically relied as part of our product licensing strategy, but which may be subject to additional legal uncertainty in some foreign jurisdictions;

•increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;

•requirements or preferences within other regions for domestic products, and difficulties in replacing products offered by more established or known regional competitors;

•differing technical standards, existing or future regulatory and certification requirements, and required features and functionality;

•communication and integration problems related to entering and serving new markets with different languages, cultures, and political systems;

•compliance with foreign privacy and security laws and regulations and the risks and costs of non-compliance;

•compliance with laws and regulations for foreign operations, including anti-bribery laws (such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.S. Travel Act, and the UK Bribery Act), import and export control laws, tariffs, trade barriers, economic sanctions, and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to sell our products in certain foreign markets, and the risks and costs of non-compliance;

•heightened risks of unfair or corrupt business practices in certain geographies that may impact our financial results and result in restatements of our consolidated financial statements;

•fluctuations in currency exchange rates, rising interest rates, and related effects on our results of operations;

•difficulties in repatriating or transferring funds from, or converting currencies in certain countries;

•weak economic conditions which could arise in each country or region in which we operate or sell our products, including due to rising inflation or hyperinflation, such as is occurring in Turkey, and related interest rate increases, or general political and economic instability around the world, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine;

•differing labor standards, including restrictions related to, and the increased cost of, terminating employees in some countries;

•difficulties in recruiting and hiring employees in certain countries;

•the preference for localized software and licensing programs and localized language support;

•reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries and practical difficulties associated with enforcing our legal rights abroad;

•imposition of travel restrictions, prohibitions of non-essential travel, modifications of employee work locations, or cancellation or reorganization of certain sales and marketing events as a result of pandemics or public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic;

•compliance with the laws of numerous foreign taxing jurisdictions, including withholding obligations, and overlapping of different tax regimes; and

•geopolitical risks, such as political and economic instability, and changes in diplomatic and trade relations.

Compliance with laws and regulations applicable to our global operations substantially increases our cost of doing business in foreign jurisdictions. We may be unable to keep current with changes in government requirements as they change from time to time. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our business. In many countries, it is common for others to engage in business practices that are prohibited by our internal policies and procedures or other regulations applicable to us. Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these regulations and policies, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, contractors, business partners and agents will comply with these regulations and policies. Violations of laws, regulations or key control policies by our employees, contractors, business partners, or agents could result in delays in revenue recognition, financial reporting misstatements, enforcement actions, reputational harm, disgorgement of profits, fines, civil and criminal penalties, damages, injunctions, other collateral consequences, or the prohibition of the importation or exportation of our products and could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Catastrophic events may disrupt our business.

Natural disasters, pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, other public health emergencies, geopolitical conflicts, social or political unrest, or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could harm our business. We have a large employee presence and operations in the San Francisco Bay Area, California and Australia. The west coast of the U.S. contains active earthquake zones and is often at risk from wildfires. Australia has recently experienced significant wildfires and flooding that have impacted our employees. In the event of a major earthquake, hurricane, typhoon or catastrophic event such as fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, cyber-attack, war or terrorist attack in any of the regions or localities in which we operate, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our application development, lengthy interruptions in our product availability, breaches of data security and loss of critical data, all of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Additionally, we rely on our network and suppliers of third-party infrastructure and applications, internal technology systems, and our websites for our development, marketing, internal controls, operational support, hosted services and sales activities. If these systems were to fail or be negatively impacted as a result of a natural disaster, disease or pandemic, including the COVID-19 pandemic, or catastrophic event, our ability to conduct normal business operations and deliver products to our customers could be impaired.

As we grow our business, the need for business continuity planning and disaster recovery plans will grow in significance. If we are unable to develop adequate plans to ensure that our business functions continue to operate during and after a disaster, disease or pandemic, including the COVID-19 pandemic, or catastrophic event, or if we are unable to successfully execute on those plans, our business and reputation could be harmed.

Climate change may have a long-term impact on our business.

The long-term effects of climate change on the global economy and the technology industry in particular are unclear, however we recognize that there are inherent climate-related risks wherever business is conducted. Climate-related events, including the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and their impact on critical infrastructure in the U.S., Australia and elsewhere, have the potential to disrupt our business, our third-party suppliers, and/or the business of our customers, and may cause us to experience higher attrition, losses and additional costs to maintain and resume operations.

We depend on our executive officers and other key employees and the loss of one or more of these employees or the inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees could harm our business.

Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our executive officers and key employees. We rely on our leadership team and other key employees in the areas of research and development, products, strategy, operations, security, go-to-market, marketing, IT, support, and general and administrative functions. From time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. For example, we recently hired a new Chief Financial Officer who joined us in September 2022 and a new Chief Technology Officer who joined us in May 2022. In addition, we do not have employment agreements with our executive officers or other key personnel that require them to continue to work for us for any specified period and, therefore, they could terminate their employment with us at any time. The loss of one or more of our executive officers, especially our Co-Chief Executive Officers, or other key employees could harm our business.

In addition, in order to execute our growth plan, we must attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for these personnel in Sydney, Australia, the San Francisco Bay Area, and in other locations where we maintain offices, is intense, especially for engineers experienced in designing and developing software and cloud-based services. We have from time to time experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty hiring and retaining employees with appropriate qualifications. In particular, recruiting and hiring senior product engineering personnel (particularly with AI and machine learning backgrounds) has been, and we expect it to continue to be, challenging. In addition, our rebalancing in March 2023, and any future rebalancing efforts intended to improve operational efficiencies and operating costs, may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain employees. If we are unable to hire and retain talented product engineering personnel, we may be unable to scale our operations or release new products in a timely fashion and, as a result, customer satisfaction with our products may decline.

Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. If we hire employees from competitors or other companies, these employers may attempt to assert that the employees or we have breached certain legal obligations, resulting in a diversion of our time and resources. In addition, job candidates and existing employees often consider the value of the equity awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the value or perceived value of our equity awards declines, it could harm our ability to recruit and retain highly skilled employees. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

We are exposed to credit risk and fluctuations in the market values of our investment portfolio.

Given the global nature of our business, we may have diversified U.S. and non-U.S. investments. Credit ratings and pricing of our investments can be negatively affected by liquidity, credit deterioration, financial results, economic risk, including from impacts of inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, political risk, sovereign risk or other factors. As a result, the value and liquidity of our investments may fluctuate substantially. Therefore, although we have not realized any significant losses on our investments, future fluctuations in their value could result in a significant realized loss.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Share repurchases of our Class A Common Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were as follows (in thousands, except for average price paid per share):

(1) In January 2023, the Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our outstanding Class A Common Stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Share Repurchase Program does not have a fixed expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate us to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares. We may repurchase shares of Class A Common Stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchases will be determined by us at our discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including business, economic and market conditions, prevailing stock prices, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other considerations.

(2) Average price paid per share includes costs associated with the repurchases, when applicable.
