SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. All statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022 (“Annual Report”). These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report include, but are not limited to, statements about:
•our future financial performance, including our expectations regarding our revenue, annual recurring revenue, gross profit or gross margin, operating expenses, ability to generate cash flow, revenue mix and ability to maintain future profitability;
•anticipated trends and growth rates in our business and in the markets in which we operate;
•our ability to maintain and expand our customer base and our partner network;
•our ability to sell our applications and expand internationally;
•our ability to anticipate market needs and successfully develop new and enhanced solutions to meet those needs;
•our ability to hire and retain necessary qualified employees to grow our business and expand our operations;
•the evolution of technology affecting our applications, platform and markets;
•our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property;
•our ability to service our debt obligations;
•our expectations regarding the potential impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, or other future health pandemics and any related economic downturns, on our business, operations, and the markets in which we and our partners and customers operate; and
•certain macroeconomic factors facing the global economies, including rising inflation and changing interest rates.
We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report and as filed with the SEC and “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. We cannot assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

Fiscal year
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Unaudited interim consolidated financial information
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, and statements of shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related disclosures, are unaudited. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and includes all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2022, its results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and its cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (“Annual Report”).
Use of estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates such estimates and assumptions for continued reasonableness. In particular, the Company makes estimates with respect to the stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation in customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the allowance for credit losses, the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, the valuation of long-lived assets, the period of benefit for deferred commissions and material rights, income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, and the determination of the incremental borrowing rate used for operating lease liabilities, among other things. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant accounting policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report that have had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
3. Revenue Recognition
Disaggregation of revenue
The following table is a summary of the Company’s total revenue by geographic region (in thousands, except percentages):
Three Months Ended September 30, | Six Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Total revenue | $ | $ | $ | $ |
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the United States was the only country that represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenue in any period, constituting $158.3 million and 57 % and $115.1 million and 51 % of total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $305.8 million and 56 % and $219.6 million and 50 % of total revenue during the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Deferred revenue
Revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, which was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each respective period, was $192.0 million and $151.6 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, which was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each respective period, was $425.7 million and $336.7 million, respectively.
Remaining performance obligations
As of September 30, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $1,534.0 million, which consists of both billed consideration in the amount of $578.4 million and unbilled consideration in the amount of $955.6 million that the Company expects to recognize as subscription and service revenue. The Company expects to recognize 57 % of this amount as revenue over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter.
4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net

5. Income Taxes
The Company computes its interim provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to income from operations and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items occurring in the period. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 43.6 % compared to negative 36.6 % for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2022 was 62.1 % compared to 0.1 % for the six months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate for both the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation windfall benefits as well as effects of the new requirement under Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) to capitalize and amortize research and development expenses in the U.S. The capitalization of research and development expenses resulted in an increase to the Company’s taxable income and foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”), resulting in a corresponding increase in the Company’s FDII deduction. However, no tax benefit is recognized for the deferred tax asset established for these capitalized research and development expenses due to the Company’s valuation allowance position in the U.S. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2021 also included a $2.1 million one-time benefit related to anticipated tax refunds resulting from a favorable Polish research and development ruling.
Based on the Company’s review of both positive and negative evidence regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets at September 30, 2022, a valuation allowance continues to be recorded against certain deferred tax assets based upon the conclusion that it was more likely than not that these assets would not be realized. The valuation allowance at September 30, 2022 relates primarily to capitalized development costs, share-based compensation, accrued interest and foreign tax credits. Given the Company’s current earnings and anticipated future earnings, it is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow the Company to conclude that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change based on the Company’s ability to generate U.S. taxable earnings and utilization of deferred tax assets.

First lien credit facilities
The Company’s First Lien Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for a term loan facility, or the First Lien Term Loan, in an aggregate principal amount of $950.0 million and a senior secured revolving credit facility, or the Revolving Facility, in an aggregate amount of $60.0 million. The Revolving Facility includes a $25.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The First Lien Term Loan and Revolving Facility mature on August 23, 2025 and August 23, 2023, respectively. There were $15.1 million and $15.6 million letters of credit issued as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The Company had $44.9 million and $44.4 million of availability under the Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
Borrowings under the First Lien Term Loan and the Revolving Facility currently bear interest, at the Company’s election, at either (i) the Alternative Base Rate, as defined per the credit agreement, plus 1.25 % per annum, or (ii) LIBOR plus 2.25 % per annum. The Company has satisfied all required principal payments under the First Lien Term Loan and the remainder is due at maturity. Interest payments are due quarterly, or more frequently, based on the terms of the credit agreement.
The Company incurs fees with respect to the Revolving Facility, including (i) a commitment fee of 0.25 % per annum of unused commitments under the Revolving Facility, (ii) facility fees equal to the applicable margin in effect for Eurodollar Rate Loans, as defined per the credit agreement, times the average daily stated amount of letters of credit, (iii) a fronting fee equal to either (a) 0.125 % per annum on the stated amount of each letter of credit or (b) such other rate per annum as agreed to by the parties subject to the letters of credit, and (iv) customary administrative fees.
All of the indebtedness under the First Lien Credit Agreement is and will be guaranteed by the Company’s existing and future material domestic subsidiaries and is and will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and such guarantors. The First Lien Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants. At September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.
7. Leases
The Company leases office space under non-cancelable operating leases which expire at various dates from fiscal 2023 to 2033. As of September 30, 2022, the weighted average remaining lease term was 6.0 years and the weighted average discount rate was 5.0 %. The Company does not have any finance leases as of September 30, 2022.
The Company has a sublease of a former office which expires in fiscal 2025. Sublease income from operating leases, which is recorded as a reduction of rental expense, was $0.5 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and $1.1 million for both the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had commitments of $25.1 million for operating leases that have not yet commenced and therefore are not included in the right-of-use assets or operating lease liabilities. These operating leases are expected to commence during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 through March 31, 2025 with lease terms ranging from 2 to 10 years.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal matters
From time to time, the Company may be a party to lawsuits and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of the future operations of the Company.
9. Share-based Compensation
Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan
In July 2019, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), upon the recommendation of the compensation committee of the board of directors, adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2019 Plan”) which was subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders and was later amended and restated by the Board in January 2021.
The Company initially reserved 52,000,000 shares of common stock, or the Initial Limit, for the issuance of awards under the 2019 Plan. The 2019 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the plan will automatically increase each April 1, beginning on April 1, 2020, by 4 % of the outstanding number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the immediately preceding March 31 or such lesser number determined by the compensation committee. This number is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in the Company’s capitalization. As of September 30, 2022, 44,261,855 shares of common stock were available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan.

RSUs outstanding as of September 30, 2022 were comprised of 8.0 million RSUs with only service conditions and 1.1 million RSUs with both service and performance conditions (“PSUs”).
During the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted PSUs to certain key employees that generally vest 33 % one year after the grant date and the remaining 67 % vest ratably on a quarterly basis over the following two years (the “Annual PSUs”). The number of shares that may be earned pursuant to the Annual PSUs is based on specific company metrics related to the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. No Annual PSUs will be earned with respect to any metric if the applicable “threshold” percentage of the specific metric is not achieved, and the overall number of shares that may be earned shall not exceed 150 % of the target award. Once the Annual PSUs are earned, they are then also subject to time-based vesting, with 33 % of the earned Annual PSUs vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date, and with the remaining 67 % vesting in eight equal quarterly installments over the following two years , and provided that the executive officer remains employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date.
As of September 30, 2022, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards is $0.5 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.5 years. As of September 30, 2022, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock units is $323.0 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. The Company recognized $34.7 million and $19.6 million of share-based compensation expense related to restricted shares and units for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $56.7 million and $33.1 million of share-based compensation expense related to restricted shares and units for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In July 2019, the Board adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The Company expects to offer, sell and issue shares of common stock under this ESPP from time to time based on various factors and conditions, although the Company is under no obligation to sell any shares under this ESPP. The ESPP provides for six-month offering periods and each offering period will consist of six-month purchase periods. On each purchase date, eligible employees will purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to 85 % of the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the offering date or (2) the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the purchase date. For the six months ended September 30, 2022, 265,681 shares of common stock were purchased under the ESPP. As of September 30, 2022, 13,782,205 shares of common stock were available for future issuance under the ESPP.
As of September 30, 2022, there was approximately $1.5 million of unrecognized share-based compensation related to the ESPP that is expected to be recognized over the remaining term of the current offering period. The Company recognized $2.0 million and $1.3 million of share-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $3.5 million and $2.4 million of share-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

10. Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income per share includes the dilutive effect of common share equivalents and is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares and the common share equivalents outstanding during the reporting period. An anti-dilutive impact is an increase in net income per share or a reduction in net loss per share resulting from the conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of certain securities.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share data):

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 related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. When reviewing the discussion below, you should keep in mind the substantial risks and uncertainties that could impact our business. In particular, we encourage you to review the risks and uncertainties described in the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements contained in this report or implied by past results and trends. Our fiscal year ends on March 31. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future, and our interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results we expect for the full fiscal year or any other period.
Overview
We offer the market-leading software intelligence platform, purpose-built for dynamic hybrid, multicloud environments. As enterprises and public sector institutions embrace the cloud to effect their digital transformation, we designed our unified platform to address the growing complexity faced by IT, development, security, and business operations teams. With automation and intelligence at its core, our platform delivers precise answers about the performance and security of applications, the underlying infrastructure and the experience of all users to enable teams to innovate faster, simplify cloud complexity, collaborate more efficiently, and secure cloud-native applications. We designed our platform to allow our customers to modernize and automate IT operations, develop and release high quality software faster, and improve user experiences for consistently better business outcomes. As a result, as of September 30, 2022, our products are trusted by more than 3,400 Dynatrace customers in over 90 countries in diverse industries such as banking, insurance, retail, manufacturing, travel and software.
We market Dynatrace® through a combination of our global direct sales team and a network of partners, including cloud service providers (Amazon, Microsoft, and Google), resellers, and system integrators. We target the largest 15,000 global accounts, which generally have annual revenues in excess of $1 billion.
We generate revenue primarily by selling subscriptions, which we define as (i) Software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) agreements, (ii) Dynatrace® term-based licenses, for which revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term, (iii) Dynatrace® perpetual licenses, which are recognized ratably over the term of the expected optional maintenance renewals, which is generally three years, and (iv) maintenance and support agreements.
We deploy our platform as a SaaS solution, with the option of retaining the data in the cloud, or at the edge in customer-provisioned infrastructure, which we refer to as Dynatrace® Managed. The Dynatrace® Managed offering allows customers to maintain control of the environment where their data resides, whether in the cloud or on-premises, combining the simplicity of SaaS with the ability to adhere to their own data security and sovereignty requirements. Our Mission Control functionality automatically upgrades all Dynatrace® instances and offers on-premise cluster customers auto-deployment options that suit their specific enterprise management processes.
Dynatrace® is an all-in-one platform, which is typically purchased by our customers with the full-stack Application Performance Module and extended with our Infrastructure Monitoring, Digital Experience Monitoring, Digital Business Analytics, Application Security, or Cloud Automation Modules. Customers also have the option to purchase the infrastructure monitoring module where the full-stack APM is not required, with the ability to upgrade to the full-stack APM when necessary. Our Dynatrace® platform has been commercially available since 2016 and is the primary offering we sell. Dynatrace® customers increased to more than 3,400 as of September 30, 2022 from approximately 3,100 as of September 30, 2021.

COVID-19 Update
We continue to monitor, analyze, and respond to evolving developments regarding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which has had significant impacts around the globe and in many locations in which we operate. While the impacts have not caused a material adverse financial impact to our business to date, the future impacts remain uncertain. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business going forward will depend on numerous evolving factors that we cannot reliably predict. These factors may adversely impact business spending on technology as well as customers’ ability to pay for our products and services on an ongoing basis.
Throughout the pandemic we have continued to make investments to support business growth and product development, including investments in research and development as we continue to introduce new products and applications to extend the functionality of our products, sales and marketing to support customer growth, and other critical functions to ensure the highest levels of customer service and support as well as ensuring that we maintain the required infrastructure to be a public company. We expect to continue to make these investments.
See the section titled “Risk Factors” included under Part II, Item 1A for further discussion of the possible impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, or other future health pandemics and any related economic downturns, on our business.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Our historical financial performance has been, and we expect our financial performance in the future to be, driven by our ability to:
•Extend our technology and market leadership position. We intend to maintain our position as the market-leading software intelligence platform through increased investment in research and development and continued innovation. We expect to focus on expanding the functionality of Dynatrace® and investing in capabilities that address new market opportunities. We believe this strategy will enable new growth opportunities and allow us to continue to deliver differentiated high-value outcomes to our customers.
•Grow our customer base. We intend to drive new customer growth by expanding our direct sales force focused on the largest 15,000 global accounts, which generally have annual revenues in excess of $1 billion. In addition, we expect to leverage our global partner ecosystem to add new customers in geographies where we have direct coverage and work jointly with our partners. In other geographies, such as Africa, Japan, the Middle East, and South Korea, we utilize a multi-tier “master reseller” model.
•Increase penetration within existing customers. We plan to continue to increase penetration within our existing customers by expanding the breadth of our platform capabilities to provide for continued cross-selling opportunities. In addition, we believe the ease of implementation for Dynatrace® provides us the opportunity to expand adoption within our existing customers, across new customer applications, and into additional business units or divisions. We have sustained our Dynatrace® net expansion rate at or above 120% for eighteen consecutive quarters.
•Enhance our strategic partner ecosystem. Our strategic partners include industry-leading global system integrators, software vendors, and cloud and technology providers. We intend to continue to invest in our partner ecosystem, with a particular emphasis on expanding our strategic alliances and cloud-focused partnerships with global system integrators, including Deloitte and DXC, and hyperscaler cloud providers, including AWS, Microsoft, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Red Hat.
Key Metrics
In addition to our U.S. GAAP financial information, we monitor the following key metrics to help us measure and evaluate the effectiveness of our operations:

2022 | 2021 | ||||||||||
Total ARR (in thousands) | 1,064,951 | 863,863 | |||||||||
Dynatrace® Net Expansion Rate

120%+ | 120%+ |
Annual Recurring Revenue “ARR”: We define ARR as the daily revenue of all subscription agreements that are actively generating revenue as of the last day of the reporting period multiplied by 365. We exclude from our calculation of ARR any revenues derived from month-to-month agreements and/or product usage overage billings, where customers are billed in arrears based on product usage.
Dynatrace® Net Expansion Rate: We define the Dynatrace® net expansion rate as the ARR derived from the Dynatrace® platform at the end of a reporting period for the cohort of Dynatrace® accounts as of one year prior to the date of calculation, divided by the
16
Dynatrace® ARR one year prior to the date of calculation for that same cohort. Beginning in fiscal 2023, this calculation excludes the headwind associated with the Dynatrace perpetual license ARR given diminishing impact of perpetual license ARR. We present Dynatrace® net expansion rate on a constant currency basis to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations.
