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 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 annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 19, 2021, and include, but are not limited to, our ability
to realize anticipated benefits to our business from our shift to a Virtual First work model as well as impacts to our financial results and business operations as a result of this shift; the impacts to our financial results, business operations, the
business of our customers, suppliers, partners and the economy as a result of 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, in particular paying users impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and increase our recurring revenue; our ability to attract new users or convert registered users to paying users, in particular prospective paying users
financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; 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 achieve or 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, particularly in light of potential disruptions to the productivity of our employees that may result from our shift to a Virtual First work model; 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
