Dropbox Investor Presentation Deck
Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation contains forward-looking statements. These statements may relate to, but are not limited to, plans for growth, technological capabilities and new features and products and the long-term financial
targets of Dropbox, Inc. ("Dropbox," "we," "us," or similar terms), as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot
be predicted or quantified. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "plan," anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "intend,"
"potential," "would," "continue," "ongoing" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should
not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved, if at all.
Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made or management's good-faith beliefs and assumptions as of that time with respect to future events, and are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements. In light of these risks and uncertainties,
the events and circumstances contemplated by the forward-looking statements made in this presentation may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-
looking statements. These risks and uncertainties are described in greater detail under the heading "Risk Factors" in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 that we filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 5, 2022, and include, but are not limited to, the impact to our financial results, business operations, the business of our customers, suppliers,
partners and the economy as a result of macro economic uncertainty, the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures, as well as the potential for a more permanent global shift to remote work; our
ability to retain and upgrade paying users, and increase our recurring revenue; our ability to attract new users or convert registered users to paying users, our future financial performance, including trends in
revenue, costs of revenue, gross profit or gross margin, operating expenses, paying users, and free cash flow; our history of net losses and our ability to maintain profitability; our liability for any unauthorized
access to our data or our users' content, including through privacy and data security breaches, significant disruption of service on our platform or loss of content, particularly from any potential disruptions in the
supply chain for hardware necessary to offer our services that may result from the COVID-19 pandemic; any decline in demand for our platform or for content collaboration solutions in general; changes in the
interoperability of our platform across devices, operating systems, and third-party applications that we do not control; competition in our markets; our ability to respond to rapid technological changes, extend our
platform, develop new features or products, or gain market acceptance for such new features or products, our ability to manage our growth or plan for future growth; our acquisition of other businesses and the
potential of such acquisitions to require significant management attention, disrupt our business, or dilute stockholder value; our ability to attract and retain key personnel and highly qualified personnel; our capital
allocation plans with respect to our stock repurchase program and other investments; and the dual class structure of our common stock and its effect of concentrating voting control with certain stockholders who
held our capital stock prior to the completion of our initial public offering. These factors could cause actual results, performance or achievement to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in
the forward-looking statements. Additional information will be available in other future reports that we may file with the SEC from time to time, which could cause actual results to vary from expectations. Except as
required by law, Dropbox does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
In addition to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross
margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating expenses (including research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative), non-GAAP operating margin and free cash flow.
These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP
measures have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures Dropbox uses may differ
from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
This presentation also contains statistical data, estimates and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications or other publicly available information, as well as other information based on our internal
sources. This information may be based on many assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such information. We have not independently verified the accuracy or
completeness of the data contained in the industry publications and other publicly available information. Dropbox does not undertake to update such data after the date of this presentation.
