Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 24, 2023, Snowflake Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2023. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

Appointment of Director

On May 23, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, upon recommendation of the nominating and governance committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Governance Committee”), increased the size of the Board from ten to eleven members and appointed Stephen B. Burke as a Class I director whose term will expire at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, effective immediately. Mr. Burke has also been appointed as a member of the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), as a member of the equity award compensation subcommittee of the Compensation Committee, and as a member of the Nominating and Governance Committee.

From January 2020 until August 2020, Mr. Burke served as Chairman of NBCUniversal Media, LLC, a multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate, and as Chief Executive Officer of NBCUniversal and Senior Executive Vice President of Comcast Corporation, a multinational telecommunications and media conglomerate, between January 2011 and January 2020. From 1998 until 2011, Mr. Burke served as Chief Operating Officer of Comcast Corporation, and currently serves as a Senior Advisor to Comcast Corporation. Mr. Burke is a founder of, and currently runs, Madison Valley Partners, a venture capital firm founded in 2019 that invests in climate-centered technology companies. Mr. Burke currently serves on the board of directors of JPMorgan Chase & Co and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Mr. Burke holds an undergraduate degree from Colgate University and an M.B.A. degree from Harvard Business School.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Burke and the Company or any other person pursuant to which Mr. Burke was elected as a director. Additionally, there are no transactions involving the Company and Mr. Burke that the Company would be required to report pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

For his service on the Board, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee, Mr. Burke will be compensated pursuant to the Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Director Compensation Policy”), a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 7, 2023. Upon his appointment to the Board, Mr. Burke automatically received a restricted stock unit award for the Company’s Class A common stock (“Class A Common Stock”) under the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) having a value of $1,000,000 based on the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the underlying Class A Common Stock on the date of grant (the “Initial RSU”). The Initial RSU will vest over three years, with one-third of the Initial RSU vesting on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant.

In addition, under the Director Compensation Policy, at the close of business on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders (“Annual Meeting”) held after calendar year 2023, Mr. Burke will automatically receive an additional restricted stock unit award for the Company’s Class A Common Stock (each, an “Annual RSU”), provided that Mr. Burke continues to serve as a Non-Employee Director (as defined in the Director Compensation Policy) at the time of grant.



Each Annual RSU will have a value of $300,000 based on the average Fair Market Value of the underlying Class A Common Stock for the 20 trading days prior to and ending on the date of grant. Each Annual RSU will vest on the earlier of (i) the date of the following year’s Annual Meeting (or the date immediately prior to the next Annual Meeting if Mr. Burke’s service as a Non-Employee Director ends at such meeting); or (ii) the first anniversary of the date of grant. In accordance with the Director Compensation Policy, all of the shares subject to Mr. Burke’s then-outstanding Company equity awards will become fully vested immediately prior to the consummation of a change of control.

Beginning in calendar year 2024, and in accordance with the Director Compensation Policy, Mr. Burke will receive (i) an annual cash retainer of $33,000 for serving on the Board, (ii) an annual cash retainer of $9,500 for serving on the Compensation Committee, and (iii) an annual cash retainer of $5,000 for serving on the Nominating and Governance Committee, each paid quarterly and pro-rated for any partial months of service.

Mr. Burke has entered into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit 10.10 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 24, 2020 (File No. 333-248280).

A copy of the press release announcing Mr. Burke’s appointment as a director of the Company is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Departure of Director

On May 23, 2023, John D. McMahon, a Class III director of the Board, a member of the Compensation Committee, and a member of the Nominating and Governance Committee, notified the Company that he will not stand for re-election as a director of the Company. It is anticipated that Mr. McMahon will serve as a director of the Company through the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, scheduled to take place on July 5, 2023. Mr. McMahon has informed the Company that his decision to not stand for re-election as a director was not due to any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.

Effective upon Mr. McMahon’s departure from the Board and at the conclusion of the Company's 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the size of the Board will be automatically reduced from eleven to ten directors.

The information contained in Item 2.02 and Item 9.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the accompanying Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference in such filing.

No-Headquarters/BOZEMAN, Mont. - May 24, 2023 - Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW), the Data Cloud company, today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2024, ended April 30, 2023.

Revenue for the quarter was $623.6 million, representing 48% year-over-year growth. Product revenue for the quarter was $590.1 million, representing 50% year-over-year growth. The company now has 373 customers with trailing 12-month product revenue greater than $1 million and 590 Forbes Global 2000 customers. Net revenue retention rate was 151% as of April 30, 2023. Remaining performance obligations were $3.4 billion, representing 31% year-over-year growth. See the section titled “Key Business Metrics” for definitions of product revenue, customers with trailing 12-month product revenue greater than $1 million, net revenue retention rate, Forbes Global 2000 customers, and remaining performance obligations.

“During Q1, Snowflake’s product revenue grew 50%, totaling $590 million. Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow was $287 million for the quarter, up 58% year-over-year,” said Frank Slootman, Chairman and CEO, Snowflake. "Data has gravitational pull, and given the vast universe of data Snowflake manages, it is no surprise that interest in data science, AI and machine learning is escalating while its uses are rapidly evolving." The following table summarizes our financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2024:

A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP guidance measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, expenses that may be incurred in the future. Stock-based compensation-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions, are impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions, the future fair market value of our common stock, and our future hiring and retention needs, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. We have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the financial statement tables for our historical non-GAAP financial results included in this release. Our fiscal year ends January 31, and numbers are rounded for presentation purposes.

Statement Regarding Use of Non‑GAAP Financial Measures

We report the following non-GAAP financial measures, which have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

•Product gross profit, Operating income (loss), Net income (loss), Net income (loss) attributable to Snowflake Inc., and Net income (loss) per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders - basic and diluted. Our non-GAAP product gross profit, operating income (loss), net income (loss), and net income (loss) attributable to Snowflake Inc. measures exclude the effect of (i) stock-based compensation-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions, (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles, (iii) expenses associated with acquisitions and strategic investments, (iv) adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest, and (v) the related income tax effect of these adjustments as well as the non-recurring income tax expense or benefit associated with acquisitions. Our non-GAAP net income (loss) per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders - basic is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Snowflake Inc. by the weighted-average number of diluted shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Our non-GAAP net income per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders - diluted is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income attributable to Snowflake Inc. by the non-GAAP weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding, giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase rights under our 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan). The potential dilutive effect of outstanding restricted stock units with performance conditions not yet satisfied is included in the non-GAAP weighted-average number of diluted shares at forecasted attainment levels to the extent we believe it is probable that the performance conditions will be met. Non-GAAP net loss per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders - diluted is the same as Non-GAAP net loss per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders - basic as the inclusion of all potential dilutive common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. Amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest were not material for all periods presented. We believe the presentation of operating results that exclude these non-cash or non-recurring items provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.

•Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reduced by purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software development costs. Cash outflows for employee payroll tax items related to the net share settlement of equity awards are included in cash flow for financing activities and, as a result, do not have an effect on the calculation of free cash flow. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. We believe these measures provide useful supplemental information to investors because they are indicators of the strength and performance of our core business operations.

•Adjusted free cash flow. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow plus (minus) net cash paid (received) on employer and employee payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions. Employee payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions are generally pass-through transactions that are expected to have a net zero impact on free cash flow over time, but that may impact free cash flow in any given fiscal quarter due to differences between the time that we receive funds from our employees and the time we remit those funds to applicable tax authorities. We believe that excluding the effects of these payroll tax-related items will enhance stockholders' ability to evaluate our free cash flow performance, including on a quarter-over-quarter basis. Adjusted free cash flow margin is calculated as adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. We believe these measures provide useful supplemental information to investors because they are indicators of the strength and performance of our core business operations.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.



Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand our business. Please see the tables included at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.

Key Business Metrics

We monitor our key business metrics, including (i) free cash flow and (ii) the other metrics set forth below to help us evaluate our business and growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, and assess operational efficiencies. See the section titled “Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for the definition of free cash flow. The calculation of our key business metrics may differ from other similarly titled metrics used by other companies, securities analysts, or investors.

•Product Revenue. Product revenue is a key metric for us because we recognize revenue based on platform consumption, which is inherently variable at our customers’ discretion, and not based on the amount and duration of contract terms. Product revenue is primarily derived from the consumption of compute, storage, and data transfer resources, which are consumed by customers on our platform as a single, integrated offering. Customers have the flexibility to consume more than their contracted capacity during the contract term and may have the ability to roll over unused capacity to future periods, generally upon the purchase of additional capacity at renewal. Our consumption-based business model distinguishes us from subscription-based software companies that generally recognize revenue ratably over the contract term and may not permit rollover. Because customers have flexibility in the timing of their consumption, which can exceed their contracted capacity or extend beyond the original contract term in many cases, the amount of product revenue recognized in a given period is an important indicator of customer satisfaction and the value derived from our platform. Product revenue excludes our professional services and other revenue.

•Customers with Trailing 12-Month Product Revenue Greater than $1 Million. To calculate the number of customers with trailing 12-month product revenue greater than $1 million, we count the number of customers under capacity arrangements that contributed more than $1 million in product revenue in the trailing 12 months. For purposes of determining our customer count, we treat each customer account, including accounts for end-customers under a reseller arrangement, that has at least one corresponding capacity contract as a unique customer, and a single organization with multiple divisions, segments, or subsidiaries may be counted as multiple customers. We do not include customers that consume our platform only under on-demand arrangements for purposes of determining our customer count. Our customer count is subject to adjustments for acquisitions, consolidations, spin-offs, and other market activity, and we present our customer count for historical periods reflecting these adjustments.

•Net Revenue Retention Rate. To calculate net revenue retention rate, we first specify a measurement period consisting of the trailing two years from our current period end. Next, we define as our measurement cohort the population of customers under capacity contracts that used our platform at any point in the first month of the first year of the measurement period. The cohorts used to calculate net revenue retention rate include end-customers under a reseller arrangement. We then calculate our net revenue retention rate as the quotient obtained by dividing our product revenue from this cohort in the second year of the measurement period by our product revenue from this cohort in the first year of the measurement period. Any customer in the cohort that did not use our platform in the second year remains in the calculation and contributes zero product revenue in the second year. Our net revenue retention rate is subject to adjustments for acquisitions, consolidations, spin-offs, and other market activity, and we present our net revenue retention rate for historical periods reflecting these adjustments. Since we will continue to attribute the historical product revenue to the consolidated contract, consolidation of capacity contracts within a customer’s organization typically will not impact our net revenue retention rate unless one of those customers was not a customer at any point in the first month of the first year of the measurement period.

•Forbes Global 2000 Customers. Our Forbes Global 2000 customer count is a subset of our customer count based on the 2022 Forbes Global 2000 list. Our Forbes Global 2000 customer count is subject to adjustments for annual updates to the list by Forbes, as well as acquisitions, consolidations, spin-offs, and other market activity with respect to such customers, and we present our Forbes Global 2000 customer count for historical periods reflecting these adjustments.

•Remaining Performance Obligations. Remaining performance obligations (RPO) represent the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including (i) deferred revenue and (ii) non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. RPO excludes performance obligations from on-demand arrangements and certain time and materials contracts that are billed in arrears. Portions of RPO that are not yet invoiced and are denominated in foreign currencies are revalued into U.S. dollars each period based on the applicable period-end exchange rates. RPO is not necessarily indicative of future product revenue growth because it does not account for the timing of customers’ consumption or their consumption of more than their contracted capacity. Moreover, RPO is influenced by a number of factors, including the timing and size of renewals, the timing and size of purchases of additional capacity, average contract terms, seasonality, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and the extent to which customers are permitted to roll over unused capacity to future periods, generally upon the purchase of additional capacity at renewal.

(2) For the periods in which we had non-GAAP net income, the non-GAAP weighted-average shares used in computing non-GAAP net income per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders - diluted included the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase rights under our 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan). The potential dilutive effect of outstanding restricted stock units with performance conditions not yet satisfied is included in the non-GAAP weighted-average number of diluted shares at forecasted attainment levels to the extent we believe it is probable that the performance conditions will be met. These potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the weighted-average shares used in computing non-GAAP net loss per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders - diluted when we were in a non-GAAP net loss position.

(3) The amounts for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 do not include employee payroll taxes of $84.4 million and $53.2 million, respectively, related to net share settlement of employee restricted stock units, which were reflected as cash outflows for financing activities.
