44、,Inc.Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements1.Summary of Business and Significant Accounting PoliciesDescription of BusinessSalesforce,Inc.(the“Company”)is a global leader in customer relationship management technology that brings companies and customers together.Withthe Salesforce plat
45、form,the Company delivers a single source of truth,connecting customer data with integrated artificial intelligence(“AI”)across systems,apps and devices to help companies sell,service,market and conduct commerce from anywhere.During the third quarter of fiscal 2025,the Companyintroduced Agentforce,a
46、 new layer of the trusted Salesforce platform that enables companies to build and deploy AI agents that can respond to inputs,makedecisions and take action autonomously across business functions.Agentforce includes a suite of customizable agents for use across sales,service,marketingand commerce.Sin
47、ce its founding in 1999,the Company has pioneered innovations in cloud,mobile,social,analytics and AI,enabling companies of every sizeand industry to transform their businesses in the digital-first world.Fiscal YearThe Companys fiscal year ends on January 31.References to fiscal 2025,for example,ref
48、er to the fiscal year ending January 31,2025.Basis of PresentationThe accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31,2024 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations,comprehensive income,stockholders equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended October 31
49、,2024 and 2023,respectively,are unaudited.These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles(“U.S.GAAP”)for interim financialinformation.Accordingly,they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by U.S.GAAP for
50、complete financial statements.In theopinion of the Companys management,the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentationof the Companys balance sheet as of October 31,2024 and its results of operations,including its comprehensive in
51、come,stockholders equity and cash flowsfor the three and nine months ended October 31,2024 and 2023.All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.The results for the three and nine monthsended October 31,2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter
52、or for the fiscal year ending January 31,2025.These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and relatednotes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31,2024,fi
53、led with the Securities and Exchange Commission(the“SEC”)on March 6,2024.Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in the Companyscondensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.Significant
54、estimates and assumptions made by management include the determination of:the standalone selling price(“SSP”)of performance obligations for revenue contracts with multiple performance obligations;the valuation of privately-held strategic investments;the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
55、assumed for business combinations;the recognition,measurement and valuation of current and deferred income taxes and uncertain tax positions;the useful lives of intangible assets;andthe fair value of certain stock awards issued.Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.The Company
56、bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptionsthat are believed to be reasonable,which forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as income andexpenses to be recognized.Principles of ConsolidationThe condensed conso
57、lidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.All significant intercompanybalances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.9Table of ContentsSegmentsThe Company operates as one operating segment.Operating segments are defined as com
58、ponents of an enterprise for which separate financialinformation is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker(“CODM”)in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.Over thepast few years,the Company has completed a number of acquisitions which have allowed the Company t
59、o expand its offerings,presence and reach in variousmarket segments of the enterprise cloud computing market.While the Company has offerings in multiple enterprise cloud computing market segments,including as a result of the Companys acquisitions,and operates in multiple countries,the Companys busin
60、ess operates in one operating segment becausemost of the Companys service offerings operate on the Salesforce platform and are deployed in a nearly identical manner,and the Companys CODMevaluates the Companys financial information and resources,and assesses the performance of these resources,on a co
61、nsolidated basis.Concentrations of Credit Risk,Significant Customers and InvestmentsThe Companys financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents,marketablesecurities and accounts receivable.The Company monitors and manages the ov
62、erall exposure of its cash balances to individual financial institutions on anongoing basis.The Companys marketable securities portfolio consists primarily of investment-grade securities and the Companys policies limit the amount ofcredit exposure to any one issuer.The Company does not require colla
63、teral for accounts receivable.The Company maintains an allowance for its doubtfulaccounts receivable for estimated credit losses.This allowance is based upon historical loss patterns,the number of days that billings are past due,anevaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with delinquent a
64、ccounts and current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of futureeconomic conditions to inform adjustments to historical loss patterns.The Company records the allowance against bad debt expense through the condensedconsolidated statements of operations,included in general and
65、administrative expense,up to the amount of revenues recognized to date.Any incrementalallowance is recorded as an offset to unearned revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.Receivables are written off and charged against therecorded allowance when the Company has exhausted collection ef
66、forts without success.No single customer accounted for ten percent or more of accounts receivable as of October 31,2024 and January 31,2024.No single customer accountedfor ten percent or more of total revenue during the three and nine months ended October 31,2024 and 2023.As of October 31,2024 and J
67、anuary 31,2024,assets located outside the Americas were 13 percent and 16 percent of total assets,respectively.As of October 31,2024 and January 31,2024,assets located inthe United States were 85 percent and 82 percent of total assets,respectively.The Company is also exposed to concentrations of ris
68、k in its strategic investment portfolio,including within specific industries,as the Companyprimarily invests in enterprise cloud companies,technology startups and system integrators.As of October 31,2024,the Company held two investments,bothprivately held,with carrying values that were individually
69、greater than five percent of its total strategic investments portfolio and represented approximately 13percent of the portfolio in the aggregate.As of January 31,2024,the Company held two investments,both privately held,with carrying values that wereindividually greater than five percent of its stra
70、tegic investments portfolio and represented approximately 16 percent of the portfolio in the aggregate.Revenue RecognitionThe Company derives its revenues from two sources:(1)subscription and support revenues and(2)professional services and other revenues.Subscription and support revenues include su
71、bscription fees from customers accessing the Companys enterprise cloud computing services(collectively,“Cloud Services”),software license revenues from the sales of term software licenses and support revenues from the sales of support and updates beyond thebasic subscription or software license sale
72、s.Professional services and other revenues include professional and advisory services for process mapping,projectmanagement and implementation services and training services.Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services to customers in an amount that reflects the c
73、onsideration the Companyexpects to receive in exchange for those products or services.If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount,for example,overage fees,contingent fees or service level penalties,the Company includes an estimate of the amount it expects to receive for th
74、e total transaction price if it is probablethat a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.The Company determines the amount of revenue to be recognized through the application of the following steps:identification of the contract,or contracts,with a customer;identificati
75、on of the performance obligations in the contract;determination of the transaction price;allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;and recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies the performance obligations.10Table of ContentsSubscription and Supp
76、ort RevenuesSubscription and support revenues are comprised of fees that provide customers with access to Cloud Services,software licenses and related support andupdates during the term of the arrangement.Cloud Services allow customers to use the Companys multi-tenant software without taking possess
77、ion of the software.Revenue is generally recognizedratably over the contract term.Substantially all of the Companys subscription service arrangements are noncancellable and do not contain refund-typeprovisions.Subscription and support revenues also include revenues associated with term software lice
78、nses that provide the customer with a right to use the softwareas it exists when made available.Revenues from term software licenses are generally recognized at the point in time when the software is made available to thecustomer.Revenue from software support and updates is recognized as the support
79、 and updates are provided,which is generally ratably over the contract term.The Company typically invoices its customers annually and its payment terms provide that customers pay within 30 days of invoice.Amounts that havebeen invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in unearned revenue or r
80、evenue,depending on whether transfer of control to customers has occurred.Professional Services and Other RevenuesThe Companys professional services contracts are either on a time and materials,fixed price or subscription basis.These revenues are recognized as theservices are rendered for time and m
81、aterials contracts,on a proportional performance basis for fixed price contracts or ratably over the contract term forsubscription professional services contracts.Other revenues consist primarily of training revenues recognized as such services are performed.Significant Judgments-Contracts with Mult
82、iple Performance ObligationsThe Company enters into contracts with its customers that may include promises to transfer multiple performance obligations such as Cloud Services,software licenses,support and updates and professional services.A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a cu
83、stomer to transfer products orservices that are concluded to be distinct.Determining whether products and services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted forseparately or combined as one unit of accounting may require significant judgment.Cloud Services,software licenses and s
84、upport and updates services are generally concluded to be distinct because such offerings are often soldseparately.In determining whether professional services are distinct,the Company considers the following factors for each professional services agreement:availability of the services from other ve
85、ndors,the nature of the professional services,the timing of when the professional services contract was signed incomparison to the subscription start date and the contractual dependence of the service on the customers satisfaction with the professional services work.Todate,the Company has concluded
86、that professional services included in contracts with multiple performance obligations are distinct.The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative SSP basis.The SSP is the price at which the Company wouldsell a promised product or service separately to a cus
87、tomer.Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation.The Company determines SSP by considering its overall pricing objectives and market conditions.Significant pricing practices taken into considerationinclude the Companys discounting practices,the size and volume
88、 of the Companys transactions,the customer demographic,the geographic area whereservices are sold,price lists,the Companys go-to-market strategy,historical and current sales and contract prices.In instances where the Company does notsell or price a product or service separately,the Company maximizes
89、 the use of observable inputs by using information that may include market conditions.Asthe Companys go-to-market strategies evolve,the Company may modify its pricing practices in the future,which could result in changes to SSP.In certain cases,the Company is able to establish SSP based on observabl
90、e prices of products or services sold or priced separately in comparablecircumstances to similar customers.The Company uses a single amount to estimate SSP when indicated by the distribution of its observable prices.Alternatively,the Company uses a range of amounts to estimate SSP when the pricing p
91、ractices or distribution of the observable prices are highlyvariable.The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services bycustomer size and geography.Costs Capitalized to Obtain Revenue ContractsThe Company capita
92、lizes incremental costs of obtaining revenue contracts related to noncancellable Cloud Services subscription,ongoing CloudServices support and license support and updates.For contracts with term software licenses where revenue is recognized upfront when the software is madeavailable to the customer,
93、costs allocable to those licenses are expensed as they are incurred.Capitalized amounts consist primarily of sales commissions paidto the Companys direct sales force.Capitalized amounts also include(1)amounts paid to employees other than the direct sales force who earn incentive11Table of Contentspa
94、youts under annual compensation plans that are tied to the value of contracts acquired,(2)commissions paid to employees upon renewals of subscription andsupport contracts,(3)the associated payroll taxes and fringe benefit costs associated with the payments to the Companys employees and(4)to a lesser
95、 extent,success fees paid to partners in emerging markets where the Company has a limited presence.Costs capitalized related to new revenue contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis over four years,which is longer than the typical initial contractperiod,but reflects the estimated average peri
96、od of benefit,including expected contract renewals.In arriving at this average period of benefit,the Companyevaluates both qualitative and quantitative factors which included the estimated life cycles of its offerings and its customer attrition.Additionally,the Companyamortizes capitalized costs for
97、 renewals and success fees paid to partners over two years.The capitalized amounts are recoverable through future revenue streams under all noncancellable customer contracts.The Company periodicallyevaluates whether there have been any changes in its business,the market conditions in which it operat
98、es or other events which would indicate that itsamortization period should be changed or if there are potential indicators of impairment.Amortization of capitalized costs to obtain revenue contracts is included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying condensed consolidatedstatements of op
99、erations.There were no impairments of costs to obtain revenue contracts for the three and nine months ended October 31,2024 and 2023.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.Cash an
100、d cashequivalents are stated at fair value.Marketable SecuritiesThe Company considers all of its marketable debt securities as available for use in current operations,including those with maturity dates beyond oneyear,and therefore classifies these securities within current assets on the condensed c
101、onsolidated balance sheets.Securities are classified as available for saleand are carried at fair value,with the change in unrealized gains and losses,net of tax,reported as a separate component on the condensed consolidatedstatements of comprehensive income until realized.Fair value is determined b
102、ased on quoted market rates when observable or utilizing data points that areobservable,such as quoted prices,interest rates and yield curves.Securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value are assessed todetermine what amount of the excess,if any,is caused by expected cred
103、it losses.Expected credit losses on securities are recognized in other income on thecondensed consolidated statements of operations and any remaining unrealized losses,net of taxes,are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss instockholders equity.For the purposes of computing realized and u
104、nrealized gains and losses,the cost of securities sold is based on the specific-identificationmethod.Interest on securities classified as available for sale is included as a component of investment income within other income on the condensedconsolidated statements of operations.Strategic Investments
105、The Company holds strategic investments in privately held debt and equity securities and publicly held equity securities in which the Company does nothave a controlling interest.Privately held equity securities where the Company lacks a controlling financial interest but does exercise significant in
106、fluence are accounted for underthe equity method.Privately held equity securities not accounted for under the equity method are recorded at cost and adjusted only for observable transactionsfor same or similar investments of the same issuer or impairment events(referred to as the measurement alterna
107、tive).All gains and losses on privately heldequity securities,realized and unrealized,are recorded through losses on strategic investments,net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.Privately held debt securities are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through
108、accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensedconsolidated balance sheets.Other privately held investments not classified as debt or equity securities are recorded at cost and adjusted for impairment events,with any associated gains and losses recorded through losses on strategic investments,
109、net on the consolidated statements of operations.Valuations of privately held securities are inherently complex and require judgment due to the lack of readily available market data.In determining theestimated fair value of its strategic investments in privately held companies,the Company utilizes t
110、he most recent data available to the Company.TheCompany assesses its privately held strategic investments quarterly for impairment.The Companys impairment analysis encompasses an assessment of bothqualitative and quantitative factors,including the investees financial metrics,market acceptance of the
111、 investees product or technology and the rate at whichthe investee is using its cash.If the investment is considered impaired,the Company estimates the fair value of the investment and recognizes any resultingimpairment through the condensed consolidated statements of operations.Publicly held equity
112、 securities are measured at fair value with changes recorded through losses on strategic investments,net on the condensedconsolidated statements of operations.12Table of ContentsFair Value MeasurementThe Company measures its cash and cash equivalents,marketable securities,publicly held equity securi
113、ties and foreign currency derivative contracts atfair value.In addition,the Company measures certain of its strategic investments,including its privately held debt and equity securities,at fair value on anonrecurring basis when there has been an observable price change in a same or similar security
114、or an impairment event.The additional disclosures regardingthe Companys fair value measurements are included in Note 4“Fair Value Measurement.”Derivative Financial InstrumentsThe Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts with financial institutions to reduce foreign exchange risk ass
115、ociated with intercompanytransactions and other monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of a subsidiary.The Company uses forwardcurrency derivative contracts,which are not designated as hedging instruments,to minimize the Companys exposure to balan
116、ces primarily denominated in theEuro,British Pound Sterling,Canadian Dollar,Australian Dollar,Brazilian Real and Japanese Yen.The Companys derivative financial instruments program isnot designated for trading or speculative purposes.The Company generally enters into master netting arrangements with
117、the financial institutions with which itcontracts for such derivatives,which permit net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty,thereby reducing risk of credit-related losses from afinancial institutions nonperformance.While the contract or notional amount is often used to express the
118、volume of foreign currency derivative contracts,theamounts potentially subject to credit risk are generally limited to the amounts,if any,by which the counterparties obligations under the agreements exceed theobligations of the Company to the counterparties.The notional amount of outstanding foreign
119、 currency derivative contracts as of October 31,2024 and January31,2024 was$9.4 billion and$8.6 billion,respectively.Outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts are recorded at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.Unrealized gains or losses dueto changes in the fair value of
120、 these derivative contracts,as well as realized gains or losses from their net settlement,are recognized as other income in thecondensed consolidated statements of operations consistent with the offsetting gains or losses resulting from the remeasurement or settlement of the underlyingforeign curren
121、cy denominated receivables and payables.Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful livesof those assets as follows:Buildings and building improvements10 to 40 yearsCompute
122、rs,equipment and software3 to 5 yearsFurniture and fixtures5 yearsLeasehold improvementsShorter of the estimated lease term or 10 yearsThe Company estimates the useful lives of property and equipment upon initial recognition and periodically evaluates the useful lives and whether eventsor changes in
123、 circumstances warrant a revision to the useful lives.When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of,the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from their respective accounts andany loss on such retirement is reflected in operating expenses.LeasesThe Company determines if a
124、n arrangement is a lease at inception and classifies its leases at commencement.Operating leases are included in operatinglease right-of-use(“ROU”)assets and current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheets.Assets(alsoreferred to as ROU assets)
125、and liabilities recognized from finance leases are included in property and equipment,accrued expenses and other liabilities andother noncurrent liabilities,respectively,on the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheets.ROU assets represent the Companys right to use anunderlying asset for the le
126、ase term.The corresponding lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.The Companydoes not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less for any asset classes.Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present va
127、lue of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement,net of any futuretenant incentives.The Company has lease agreements which contain both lease and non-lease components,which it has elected to combine for all asset classes.As such,minimum lease payments include fixed paymen
128、ts for non-lease components within a lease agreement but exclude variable lease payments notdependent on an index or rate,such as common area maintenance,operating expenses,utilities,or other costs that are subject to fluctuation from period toperiod.The Companys lease terms may include options to e
129、xtend or terminate the lease.Periods beyond the noncancellable term of the lease are included inthe measurement of the lease liability only when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the associated extension option or waive thetermination option.The Company reassesses the lease ter
130、m if and when a significant13Table of Contentsevent or change in circumstances occurs within the control of the Company.As most of the Companys leases do not provide an implicit rate,the net presentvalue of future minimum lease payments is determined using the Companys incremental borrowing rate.The
131、 Companys incremental borrowing rate is anestimate of the interest rate the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments,in the economic environmentwhere the leased asset is located.The lease ROU asset is recognized based on the lease liability,adjust
132、ed for any rent payments or initial direct costs incurred or tenant incentives receivedprior to commencement.Lease expense for operating leases,which includes amortization expense of ROU assets,is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.Amortization expense of finance lease ROU asset
133、s is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and interest expense for finance lease liabilities isrecognized based on the incremental borrowing rate.Expense for variable lease payments is recognized as incurred.On the lease commencement date,the Company also establishes assets and li
134、abilities for the present value of estimated future costs to retire long-livedassets at the termination or expiration of a lease.Such assets are included in property and equipment,net and are amortized over the lease term.The Company has entered into subleases or has made decisions and taken actions
135、 to exit and sublease certain unoccupied leased office space.Similar toother long-lived assets discussed below,management tests ROU assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable.For leased assets,such circumst
136、ances would include the decision to leave a leased facility prior to the end of theminimum lease term or subleases for which estimated cash flows do not fully cover the costs of the associated lease.Intangible Assets Acquired through Business CombinationsIntangible assets are amortized over their es
137、timated useful lives.Each period,the Company evaluates the estimated remaining useful life of its intangibleassets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.Impairment AssessmentThe Company evaluates intangible assets and other long-liv
138、ed assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate thatthe carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable,including,but not limited to,significant adverse changes in business climate,market conditions orother events that indicate an assets carrying amount m
139、ay not be recoverable.Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount ofeach asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate.If the undiscounted cash flows used in the test for recoverability areless than the carrying amount of these as
140、sets,the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value.The Company evaluates and tests the recoverability of its goodwill for impairment annually during its fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more often ifand when circumstances indicate that goodwill may not be recoverable.Business Comb
141、inationsThe Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at theacquisition date.The Companys estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement.During the measurement period,which may be up to on
142、e yearfrom the acquisition date,the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed,withthe corresponding offset to goodwill.In addition,uncertain tax positions,tax-related valuation allowances and pre-acquisition contingencie
143、s are initiallyrecorded in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date.The Company continues to collect information and reevaluates these estimatesand assumptions quarterly and records any adjustments to the Companys preliminary estimates to goodwill provided that the Company i
144、s within themeasurement period.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 Companys condensed consolidated statements of operations.In the event t
145、he Company acquires an entity with which the Company has a preexisting relationship,the Company will generally recognize a gain or lossto settle that relationship as of the acquisition date within operating income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.In the event that theCompany ac
146、quires an entity in which the Company previously held a strategic investment,the difference between the fair value of the shares as of the date ofthe acquisition and the carrying value of the strategic investment is recorded as a gain or loss and recorded within losses on strategic investments,net i
147、n thecondensed consolidated statements of operations.14Table of ContentsRestructuringThe Company generally recognizes employee severance costs when payments are probable and amounts are estimable or when notification occurs,depending on the region an employee works.Costs related to contracts without
148、 future benefit or contract termination are recognized at the earlier of thecontract termination or the cease-use dates.Other exit-related costs are recognized as incurred.Stock-Based Compensation ExpenseStock-based compensation expense is measured based on grant date at fair value using the grant d
149、ate closing stock price for restricted stock units andrestricted stock awards and using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options.The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expenserelated to restricted stock units,restricted stock awards,and stock options on a straight-line basis
150、,net of estimated forfeitures,over the requisite service periodof the awards,which is generally the vesting term of four years.The estimated forfeiture rate applied is based on historical forfeiture rates.The Company grants performance share awards to executive officers and other members of senior m
151、anagement,which may include a market condition,aperformance condition,or both.Stock-based compensation expense related to awards with a market condition are measured at fair value using a Monte Carlosimulation model and the expense related to these awards is recognized on a graded-vesting basis,net
152、of estimated forfeitures,over the requisite service periodof the awards,which is generally the vesting term.Stock-based compensation expense related to awards with a performance condition are measured based onthe grant date closing stock price and the expense related to these awards is recognized ba
153、sed on the requisite service period elapsed,as well as the probabilityof achievement and estimated attainment of the performance condition as of the end of our reporting period.Stock-based compensation expense related to the Companys Amended and Restated 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan(“ESPP”or“20
154、04 EmployeeStock Purchase Plan”)is measured based on grant date at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.The Company recognizes stock-basedcompensation expense related to shares issued pursuant to the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan on a straight-line basis over the offering peri
155、od,which is 12months.The ESPP allows employees to purchase shares of the Companys common stock at a 15 percent discount from the lower of the Companys stock priceon(i)the first day of the offering period or on(ii)the last day of the purchase period.The ESPP also allows employees to reduce their perc
156、entage election onceduring a six-month purchase period(December 15 and June 15 of each fiscal year),but not to increase that election until the next one-year offering period.TheESPP includes a reset provision for the purchase price if the stock price on the purchase date is less than the stock price
157、 on the offering date.The Company,at times,grants unvested restricted shares to employee stockholders of certain acquired companies in lieu of cash consideration.Theseawards are generally subject to continued post-acquisition employment.Therefore,the Company accounts for them as post-acquisition sto
158、ck-basedcompensation expense.The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of the restricted stock awards,based onthe closing stock price on grant date,on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards,which is generally four years.
159、Income TaxesThe Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.Under this method,deferred tax assets and liabilities are determinedbased on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for
160、the year in which thedifferences are expected to reverse.The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws is recognized in the condensed consolidatedstatements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.The Companys tax positions are subject to income tax a
161、udits by multiple tax jurisdictions throughout the world.The Company recognizes the tax benefitof an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable upon examination by the taxing authority,solely based on itstechnical merits.The tax benefit recognized is m
162、easured as the largest amount of benefit which is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlementwith the taxing authority.The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision.Valuation allowances are established when ne
163、cessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not expected to be realizedbased on the weighting of positive and negative evidence.Future realization of deferred tax assets ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxableincome of the appropriate character(fo
164、r example,ordinary income or capital gain)within the carryback or carryforward periods available under the applicabletax law.The Company regularly reviews the deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income,projected future taxable income,theexpected timing of the reversals
165、 of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies.The Companys judgments regarding future profitability maychange due to many factors,including future market conditions and the ability to successfully execute its business plans.Should there be a change in the abilityto recover deferred
166、tax assets,the tax provision would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment is changed.15Table of ContentsForeign Currency TranslationThe functional currency of the Companys major foreign subsidiaries is generally the local currency.All assets and liabilities denominated in a forei
167、gncurrency are translated into U.S.dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date.Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rateduring the period.Equity transactions are translated using historical exchange rates.Adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional cu
168、rrencyfinancial statements into U.S.dollars are recorded as a separate component on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.Foreigncurrency transaction gains and losses are included in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.Warranties and Indemnific
169、ationThe Companys arrangements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if its products or services infringe on athird partys intellectual property rights.To date,the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such obligations and has not ac
170、crued anymaterial liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and executive officers for costs associated with any fees,expenses,judgments,fines andsettlement amounts incurred by any of
171、 these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is,or is threatened to be,made a party by reasonof the persons service as a director or officer,including any action by the Company,arising out of that persons services as the Companys director or officer orthat persons service
172、s provided to any other company or enterprise at the Companys request.The Company maintains director and officer insurance coveragethat would generally enable the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.The Company may also be subject to indemnification obligations bylaw with respect
173、 to the actions of its employees under certain circumstances and in certain jurisdictions.New Accounting Pronouncements Pending AdoptionIn November 2023,the Financial Accounting Standards Board(“FASB”)issued Accounting Standards Update No.2023-07,“Segment Reporting(Topic280):Improvements to Reportab

210、orted by little or no market activity.All of the Companys cash equivalents,marketable securities and foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 becausethese assets are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing observable

218、ir Value on a Non-Recurring BasisSubstantially all of the Companys privately held debt and equity securities and other investments are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.Theestimation of fair value for these investments requires the use of significant unobservable inputs,and as a result
219、,the Company deems these assets as Level 3within the fair value measurement framework.For privately held equity investments without a readily determinable fair value,the Company applies valuationmethods based on information available,including the market approach and option pricing models(“OPM”).Obs
220、ervable transactions,such as the issuance ofnew equity by an investee,are indicators of investee enterprise value and are used to estimate the fair value of the privately held equity investments.An OPMmay be utilized to allocate value to the various classes of securities of the investee,including cl

268、loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period.For the nine months ended October 31,2024,the Company reported a tax provisionof$961 million on pretax income of$5.5 billion,which resulted in an effective tax rate of 18 percent.The Companys effective tax rate differed fro
269、m the U.S.statutory rate of 21 percent primarily due to research and development credits,the foreign-derived intangible income deduction,and excess tax benefits fromstock-based compensation.For the nine months ended October 31,2023,the Company reported a tax provision of$615 million on pretax income
270、 of$3.3 billion,which resulted inan effective tax rate of 19 percent.The Companys effective tax rate differed from the U.S.statutory rate of 21 percent primarily due to discrete benefits fromresearch and development credits,foreign tax credits attributable to the IRS Notice 2023-55,and certain adjus
271、tments resulted from a transfer pricing agreementin a foreign tax jurisdiction,partially offset by profitable jurisdictions outside of the United States subject to tax rates greater than 21 percent and withholdingtaxes.Unrecognized Tax Benefits and Other ConsiderationsThe Company records liabilities
272、 related to its uncertain tax positions.Tax positions for the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income tax auditsby multiple tax jurisdictions throughout the world.Certain prior year tax returns are currently being examined by various taxing authorities in countriesincluding the United Sta
273、tes,Germany,France,Israel,and India.The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves for its income tax uncertainties inall open tax years.As the outcome of the tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty,if any issues arising in the Companys tax audits progress in a mannerinconsistent
274、with managements expectations,the Company could adjust its provision for income taxes in the future.In addition,the Company anticipates it isreasonably possible that an insignificant decrease of its unrecognized tax benefits may occur in the next 12 months,as the applicable statutes of limitationsla
275、pse,ongoing examinations are completed,or tax positions meet the conditions of being effectively settled.12.Net Income Per ShareBasic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the fiscalperiod.Diluted net income p
276、er share is computed by giving effect to all potential weighted average dilutive common stock,including options and restrictedstock units.The dilutive effect of outstanding awards is reflected in diluted net income per share by application of the treasury stock method.27Table of ContentsA reconcilia

281、ctual property rights,commercial,corporate and securities,labor and employment,wageand hour and other claims.The Company has been,and may in the future be,put on notice or sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietaryrights,including patent infringement.In general,the resolutio
282、n of a legal matter could prevent the Company from offering its service to others,could be material to the Companys financialcondition or cash flows,or both,or could otherwise adversely affect the Companys reputation and future operating results.The Company makes a provision for a liability relating
283、 to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of theloss can be reasonably estimated.These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations,estimated settlements,legal rulings,advice of legal counsel and oth
284、er information and events pertaining to a particular matter.The outcomes of legal proceedings and othercontingencies are,however,inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.At this time,the Company is not able to reasonably estimate theamount or range of possible losses in exce
285、ss of any amounts accrued,including losses that could arise as a result of application of non-monetary remedies,withrespect to the contingencies it faces,and the Companys estimates may not prove to be accurate.In managements opinion,resolution of all current matters,including those described below,i
286、s not expected to have a material adverse impact on theCompanys financial statements.However,depending on the nature and timing of any such dispute,payment or other contingency,the resolution of a mattercould materially affect the Companys current or future results of operations or cash flows,or bot

308、lobal leader in customer relationship management(“CRM”)technology that brings humans together with artificial intelligence(“AI”)agents to drive customer success on one integrated platform.Founded in 1999,we enable companies of every size and industry to take advantage of powerfultechnologies to conn
309、ect to their customers in a whole new way and help them transform their businesses around the customer in this digital-first world.Our platform unites sales,service,marketing,commerce and IT teams by connecting customer data across systems,apps and devices to create a completeview of customers.With
310、this single source of customer truth and integrated artificial intelligence(“AI”),teams can be more responsive,productive andefficient,deliver intelligent,personalized experiences across every channel and increase productivity.During the third quarter of fiscal 2025,we introducedAgentforce,a new lay
311、er of our trusted platform that enables companies to build and deploy AI agents that can respond to inputs,make decisions and take actionautonomously across business functions.Agentforce includes a suite of customizable agents for use across sales,service,marketing and commerce.Wecontinue to invest
312、for growth,including investing in generative and agentic AI across all products,which we believe will change how our customers help theircustomers,and continuously look to expand our leadership role in the cloud computing industry.We continue to focus on several key growth levers,including driving m
313、ultiple service offering adoption,increasing our penetration with enterprise andinternational customers and expanding our industry-specific reach with more vertical software solutions.These growth levers often require a moresophisticated go-to-market approach and,as a result,we may incur additional
314、costs upfront to obtain new customers and expand our relationships with existingcustomers,including additional sales and marketing expenses specific to subscription and support revenue.As a result,we have seen that customers with manyof these characteristics drive higher annual revenues and have low
315、er attrition rates than our company average.In addition to our focus on top line growth levers,we are also focused on reducing our operating expenses to improve our operating margin.For example,in January 2023,we announced a restructuring plan(the“Restructuring Plan”)intended to reduce operating cos
316、ts,improve operating margins and continueadvancing our ongoing commitment to profitable growth which included a reduction of our workforce by approximately ten percent and office space reductionswithin certain markets.The employee actions associated with the Restructuring Plan were substantially com
317、pleted in fiscal 2024 and the real estate actionsassociated with the Restructuring Plan are expected to be fully complete in fiscal 2026.In addition to the Restructuring Plan,we continued to evaluate andoperationalize future programs to drive further operational efficiencies,optimize our management
318、structure and increase cost optimization efforts to realizelong-term sustainable growth,including targeted workforce and office space reductions that were initiated in the first half of fiscal 2025 and are expected to besubstantially complete in fiscal 2025.We have started to see improvements in our
319、 operating expenses across all operating categories,with the most opportunityin sales and marketing expense and general and administrative expenses.Over the long term,we expect to see additional operating expense improvements,which could include various restructuring initiatives or measured hiring i
320、nitiatives to drive operational efficiencies.Highlights from the First Nine Months of Fiscal 2025Revenue:For the nine months ended October 31,2024,revenue was$27.9 billion,an increase of 9 percent year-over-year.30Table of ContentsIncome from Operations:For the nine months ended October 31,2024,inco

327、global scope of our business and the heightened volatility of global markets expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreigncurrency markets.Total revenues in the nine months ended October 31,2024 were minimally impacted by foreign currency fluctuations compared to the ninemonths ended October 31,2
328、023.Our current remaining performance obligation as of October 31,2024 was minimally impacted by foreign currencyfluctuations compared to our remaining performance obligation as of October 31,2023.The impact of foreign currency fluctuations could impact our near-termresults and ability to accurately
