Non-GAAP financial measures are measurements of financial performance that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and computational methods may differ from those used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating the company's performance. salesforce The primary purpose of using non-GAAP measures is to provide supplemental information that may prove useful to investors and to enable investors to evaluate the company's results in the same way management does. Management believes that supplementing GAAP disclosure with non-GAAP disclosure provides investors with a more complete view of the company's operational performance and allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in the company's business. Further, to the extent that other companies use similar methods in calculating non-GAAP measures, the provision of supplemental non-GAAP information can allow for a comparison of the company's relative performance against other companies that also report non-GAAP operating results. Non-GAAP Operating Margin is the proportion of non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP income from operations excludes the impact of the amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and charges related to the restructuring plan. 25#26Non-GAAP Financial Measures GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Reconciliation (in millions) Non-GAAP income from operations¹ GAAP income from operations Plus: Amortization of purchased intangibles Stock-based compensation expense Restructuring Non-GAAP income from operations Revenue GAAP operating margin³ Non-GAAP operating margin³ 2023 $1,030 1,951 3,259 828 $7,068 $31,352 3.3% 22.5% Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2022 $548 1,624 2,779 $4,951 $26,492 2.1% 18.7% 2021 $455 1,121 2,190 $3,766 $21,252 2.1% 17.7% 2020 $297 792 1,785 $2,874 $17,098 1.7% 16.8% salesforce ¹ Non-GAAP income from operations excludes the impact of the amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation and charges related to the restructuring plan. ² Stock-based compensation expense included in this table for the twelve months ended January 31, 2023 excludes stock-based compensation expense related to the restructuring plan, which is included in the Restructuring line. 3 GAAP operating margin is the proportion of GAAP income from operations as a percentage of GAAP revenue.
