(1) Capital expenditures include cash outflows related to the
build-out of our new corporate headquarters in San Francisco, CA. Net
cash provided by operating activities include tenant improvement
allowances related to our new corporate headquarters, and represents
cash received from our landlord to partially offset this build-out.
These amounts are presented net in the table above. There was no cash
received from our landlord related to our new corporate headquarters in
the periods presented.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors and others with additional information regarding
Dropbox's results, we have disclosed the following non-GAAP financial
measures: non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP
operating expenses (including research and development, sales and
marketing and general and administrative), non-GAAP income from
operations, non-GAAP net income, free cash flow ("FCF") and non-GAAP
diluted net income per share. Dropbox has provided a reconciliation of
each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release to the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP cost of
revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations, and
net income differs from GAAP in that it excludes stock-based
compensation expense and employer payroll tax expense relating to the
release of two-tier RSUs with respect to the three months ended March
31, 2018. Non-GAAP general and administrative expense also excludes
expense related to a donation of common stock to the Dropbox Foundation
with respect to the three months ended June 30, 2017. Non-GAAP net
income also includes the income tax effect of these adjustments. FCF
differs from GAAP net cash provided by operating activities in that it
treats capital expenditures as a reduction to net cash provided by
operating activities. Free cash flow margin is calculated as FCF divided
by revenue. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share differs from GAAP
diluted net loss per share in that the numerator utilizes the non-GAAP
net income as described above, and the weighted-average shares used in
the computation include certain shares that are excluded from the GAAP
diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect would have
been anti-dilutive.
Dropbox's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to
understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for
internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, for short and long-term
operating plans, and to evaluate Dropbox's financial performance and the
ability to generate cash from operations. Management believes these
non-GAAP financial measures reflect Dropbox's ongoing business in a
manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and
analysis of trends in Dropbox's business, as they exclude expenses that
are not reflective of ongoing operating results. Management also
believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful
supplemental information to investors and others in understanding and
evaluating Dropbox's operating results and future prospects in the same
manner as management and in comparing financial results across
accounting periods and to those of peer companies.
We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP cost of
revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations, net
income, and diluted net income per share are meaningful to investors
because they help identify underlying trends in our business that could
otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude.
We believe that FCF is an indicator of our liquidity over the long term,
and provides useful information regarding cash provided by operating
activities and cash used for investments in property and equipment
required to maintain and grow our business. FCF is presented for
supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a
substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
FCF has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other GAAP
financial measures, such as net cash provided by operating activities.
Some of the limitations of FCF are that FCF does not reflect our future
contractual commitments, excludes investments made to acquire assets
under capital leases, includes capital expenditures related to our new
corporate headquarters, and may be calculated differently by other
companies in our industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative
measure.
The use of non-GAAP cost of revenue, gross profit, operating expenses,
income from operations, net income, free cash flow, and diluted net
income per share measures has certain limitations as they do not reflect
all items of income, expense, and cash expenditures, as applicable, that
affect Dropbox's operations. Dropbox compensates for these limitations
by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable
GAAP financial measures. Additionally, we have provided supplemental
disclosures in our reconciliation of net cash provided by operating
activities to free cash flow to include capital expenditures related to
our new corporate headquarters, net of tenant improvement allowances.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to,
not as a substitute for or in isolation from, measures prepared in
accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from
the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer
companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. Management
encourages investors and others to review Dropbox's financial
information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
