(1) Dollar-based net expansion rate compares our subscription revenue from the same customers from one period to the next. We measure dollar-based net expansion rate on a quarterly basis because many of our customers expand their subscriptions frequently. To calculate our dollar-based net expansion rate, we first establish the base quarter revenue from all subscription-based revenue during such quarter. We then calculate the subscription-based revenue from those same customers the quarter ending the following year; then divide that recent quarter's revenue from subscriptions by the base quarter's revenue from subscriptions to arrive at our net expansion rate.
