Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release that are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements that, within the meaning of the federal securities laws including the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Words such as "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "plan", "believe", "seek", "could", "estimate", "judgment", "targeting", "should", "anticipate", "goal" and variations of these words and similar expressions, are also intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this press release address a variety of subjects, including statements about our short-term and long-term goals and targets, including expectations regarding the acceptance by our enterprise customers of enterprise data cloud, the Cloudera Data Platform, the share repurchase program, and our "Business Outlook" for our first quarter of fiscal 2021 and our full year fiscal 2021 operating results. Readers are cautioned that actual results could differ materially from those implied by such forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including global economic conditions, competitive pressures and pricing declines, intellectual property infringement claims, and other risks or uncertainties that are described under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and in our other SEC filings. You can obtain copies of our SEC filings on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurances that our expectations will be attained. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report all financial information required in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement our unaudited and audited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the results of our operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by us include non-GAAP cost of revenue-subscription, non-GAAP cost of revenue-services, non-GAAP subscription gross margin, non-GAAP services gross margin, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), and historical and forward-looking non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation, acquisition- and disposition-related expenses (if any), extraordinary non-cash real estate impairment charges (if any), and amortization of acquired intangible assets from our unaudited and audited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

For a description of these items, including the reasons why management adjusts for them, and reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying financial statement tables titled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" as well as the related financial statement tables that precede it. We may consider whether other significant non-recurring items that arise in the future should also be excluded in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures we use.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core business, operating results or future outlook. Management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. We use these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with traditional GAAP measures to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of our performance to prior periods.

Annualized Recurring Revenue

Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR") is a performance metric, which we use to assess the health and trajectory of our business. ARR equals the annualized value of all recurring subscription contracts with active entitlements as of the end of the period, including pre-merger Hortonworks contracts. ARR does not reflect non-recurring partner revenue, subscription revenue with certain related parties, custom engineering and premium add-on support.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the reasons stated under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" above, which are generally applicable to each of the items we exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures, we believe it is appropriate to exclude or give effect to certain items for the following reasons:

    --  Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation
        expense from our non-GAAP financial measures consistent with how we
        evaluate our operating results and prepare our operating plans,
        forecasts and budgets. Further, when considering the impact of equity
        award grants, we focus on overall stockholder dilution rather than the
        accounting charges associated with such equity grants. The exclusion of
        the expense facilitates the comparison of results and business outlook
        for future periods with results for prior periods in order to better
        understand the long-term performance of our business.
    --  Amortization of acquired intangible assets. We exclude the amortization
        of acquired intangible assets from our non-GAAP financial measures.
        Although the purchase accounting for an acquisition necessarily reflects
        the accounting value assigned to intangible assets, our management team
        excludes the GAAP impact of acquired intangible assets when evaluating
        our operating results. Likewise, our management team excludes
        amortization of acquired intangible assets from our operating plans,
        forecasts and budgets. The exclusion of the expense facilitates the
        comparison of results and business outlook for future periods with
        results for prior periods in order to better understand the long-term
        performance of our business.
    --  Extraordinary non-cash real estate impairment charges. We currently
        lease approximately 225,000 square feet of space for our current
        corporate headquarters in Palo Alto, California under a lease agreement
        that expires in 2027. Upon the completion of the merger with
        Hortonworks, we added approximately 92,000 square feet of space in Santa
        Clara, California under a lease agreement that expires in 2026 and we
        anticipate that we will relocate our corporate headquarters to this
        space during fiscal 2021. Extraordinary non-cash real estate impairment
        charges relate to potential impairment charges that we may incur as part
        of our relocation. The exclusion of the expense facilitates the
        comparison of results and business outlook for future periods with
        results for prior periods in order to better understand the long-term

               (*) Stock-based compensation
                expense is impacted by variables
                such as stock price and employee
                behavior, each of which are
                inherently difficult to forecast.
                As a result, the guidance
                presented above is subject to a
                number of uncertainties and
                assumptions that may cause actual
                results to differ materially.
