Filing receipts

Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities of $394.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 was primarily due to cash paid for repurchases of common stock of $361.7 million and taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards of $62.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from employee equity transactions to be remitted to employees and tax authorities, net, of $29.2 million.

Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities of $480.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 was primarily driven by net purchases of marketable securities of $314.1 million, purchases of strategic investments of $145.7 million, which included an additional $46.0 million investment in preferred stock of Anthropic, and purchases of property and equipment of $21.1 million.

Our net dollar expansion rate includes the increase in user adoption within our Enterprise customers, as our subscription revenue is primarily driven by the number of paid licenses within a customer and the purchase of additional products, and compares our subscription revenue from the same set of Enterprise customers across comparable periods.
