A buyer is a consumer who purchases a course or subscription through our direct-to-consumer offering. Monthly average buyers is
calculated as the average of monthly buyers during a particular period, such as a fiscal year.
We count the total number of UB customers at the end of each period. To do so, we generally count unique customers using the
concept of a domestic ultimate parent, defined as the highest business in the family tree that is in the same country as the contracted
entity. In some cases, we deviate from this methodology, defining the contracted entity as a unique customer despite existence of a
domestic ultimate parent. This often occurs where the domestic ultimate parent is a financial owner, government entity, or acquisition
target where we have contracted directly with the subsidiary. We define a UB customer as a customer who purchases Udemy via our
direct sales force, reseller partnerships, or through our self-service platform.
We disclose our UB Annual Recurring Revenue, or ARR, as a measure of our enterprise revenue growth. ARR represents the
annualized value of our UB customer contracts on the last day of a given period. Only revenue from closed UB contracts with active
seats as of the last day of the period are included.
We disclose our UB Net Dollar Retention Rate, or NDRR, as a measure of our enterprise revenue growth. We believe NDRR is an
important metric that provides insight into the long-term value of our subscription agreements and our ability to retain, and grow
revenue from, our UB customers. To calculate NDRR, we begin with UB customers who are active at the beginning of a twelve-month
period. Then, we divide the ending annualized recurring revenue, or ARR, for those same UB customers at the end of the
twelve-month period by the total ARR for those UB customers at the beginning of that twelve-month period. We calculate ARR as the
total annualized run-rate revenue of all UB customers with active licenses on the last day of a given period.
We calculate UB Large Customer NDRR as the total UB Large Customer ARR at the end of a trailing twelve-month period divided by
the total Large Customer ARR at the beginning of a trailing twelve-month period for the cohort of UB customers with at least 1,000
employees active at the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period. We believe UB Large Customer NDRR reflects our ability to
retain and expand our footprint with larger organizations, who present greater opportunities for us to retain and grow revenue given
the wider range of potential use cases and land-and-expand opportunities.
