In addition, we may be subject to increased liability exposure or regulatory scrutiny related to the use of certain technologies associated with the collection, management or processing of data, including the use of cookies and similar technologies. These developments could reduce demand for our services, require us to take on more onerous obligationscontractual in our contracts,obligations, restrict our ability to store, transfer and otherwise process data or, in some cases, impactlimit our ability or our customers’ ability to offer our services in certain locations, to deploy our solutions, to reach current andor prospective customers, or to derive insights from customer data globally. For example, in July 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, one of the mechanisms that allowed companies, including us, to transfer personal data from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to the United States. Even though the CJEU decision upheld the Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”) as an adequate transfer mechanism, the decision created uncertainty around the validity of all EU-to-U.S. data transfers. While the EU and U.S. governments have since adopted the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework to foster EU-to-U.S. data transfers and address the concerns raised in the aforementioned CJEU decision, it is uncertain whether this framework will be overturned in court like the previous two EU-U.S. bilateral cross-border transfer frameworks. Ason a result,global regulatorsbasis. may continue to be inclined to interpret the CJEU’s decision, and the logic behind it, as significantly restricting certain cross-border transfers and the cost and complexity of providing our services in certain markets may increase. Certain countries outside of the EEA have also passed or are considering passing laws requiring varying degrees of local data residency. By way of furtherFor example, statutory damages available through a private right of action for certain data breaches under the CCPA,CCPA may increase our and our customers’ potential liability exposure and the demands our customers place on us.

Reworded

We currently rely on third-party data center hosting facilities and cloud computing platform providers located in the United States and other countries, as well as the many different underlying networks and services that power the Internet, to deliver our products,products and services and business operations and to operate critical business systems. We also rely on computer hardware purchased or leased from, software licensed from, and cloud computing platforms provided by,by third parties in order to offer our products and services, including database software, hardware and data from a variety ofmultiple vendors.

Reworded

Any of these risks could harm our business or negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, to facilitate acquisitions, we may seek additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all, which may affect our ability to complete subsequent acquisitions, and which may affect the risks of owning our common stock. For example, ifIf we finance acquisitions by issuing equity or convertible or other debt securities or taking out loans, our existing stockholders may be diluted, or we could face constraints related to the terms of, and repayment obligation related to, the incurrence of indebtedness that could affect theour marketstock priceprice. For example, in connection with our acquisition of ourInformatica, commonwe stock.entered into the Informatica Credit Agreements on an unsecured basis. In November 2025, the Company borrowed the full $6.0 billion available under the Informatica Credit Agreements to finance a portion of the cash consideration for the acquisition, repay existing indebtedness of Informatica and its subsidiaries, and pay related fees, costs, and expenses. For more information, see Note 9 “Debt” to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part 2.

Reworded

Our ability to acquire other businesses or technologies, or integrate acquired businesses effectively, may be impaired by trade tensions and increased global scrutiny of foreign investments and acquisitions in the technology sector. For example, several countries, including the United States and countries in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, are considering or have adopted restrictions of varying kinds on transactions involving foreign investments and acquisitions. Antitrust authorities in a number of countries have also reviewed acquisitions in the technology industry with increased scrutiny. Governments may continue to adopt or tighten restrictions of this nature, some of which may apply to acquisitions or integrations of businesses by us, and such restrictions or government actions could negatively impact our business and financial results.

Reworded

We continue to experience significant growth in our customer base, including through acquisitions, which has placed a strain on and in the future may strain our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. We anticipate that significant additional investments, including in human capital software, as well as leveraging agentic AI and other technologies, will be required to scale our operations and increase productivity, to address the needs of our customers, to further develop and enhance our services, to expand into new geographic areas and tosupport scale with our overallcontinued growth. These investments will increase our cost base, making it more difficult for us to offset any future revenue shortfalls by reducing expenses in the short term. We may not be able to make these investments as quickly or effectively as necessary to successfully scale our operations.

Reworded

We regularly upgrade or replace our various software systems and processes. If the implementations of these new applications are delayed, or if we encounter unforeseen problems with our new systems and processes or in migrating away from our existing systems and processes, our operations could be negatively impacted. For example, in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we implemented a new enterprise resource planning system (“ERP”). Among other things, our ERP is essential to our financial planning, reporting, and compliance programs, and any unforeseen problems with our new ERP or in migrating away from previous systems and processes could harm our ability to manage our business could be negatively impacted.business.

Reworded

Our success will depend in part upon the ability of our senior management to plan and manage our projected growth effectively. To do so, weWe must continue to increase the productivity of our existing employees and to hire, train and manage new employees as needed. Additionally, changes in our work environment and workforce may not meet the needs and expectations of our workforce or may create operational and workplace culture challenges, which could negatively impact our ability to increase employee productivity or attract and retain our employees and could adversely affect our operations. Furthermore, new AI offerings and technologies, which are integrated into our operations, may disrupt workforce needs and could adversely affect our operations if not managed properly. To manage the expected domestic and international growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, our reporting systems and procedures and our utilization of real estate. If we fail to successfully scale our operations and increase productivity, we may be unable to execute our business plan and the value of our common stock could decline.

Reworded

If our customers do not renew their subscriptions for our services or if they reduce the number of paying subscriptions at the time of renewal, our revenue and current remaining performance obligation could decline and our business may suffer. If customer usage of certain consumption-based offerings is below expected levels, our revenue could decline. If we cannot accurately predict subscription renewals or upgrade rates or optimal pricing for consumption-based contracts, we may not meet our revenue targets, which may adversely affect the market price of our commonstock stock.price.

Reworded

Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions for our services after the expiration of their contractual subscription period, which is typically 12 to 36 months, and in the normal course of business, some customers have elected not to renew. In addition, ourOur customers may renew for fewer subscriptions, renew for shorter contract lengths or switch to lower cost offerings of our services, particularly in times of general economic uncertainty.services. It is difficult to predict attrition rates given our varied customer base and the number of multi-year subscription contracts. Our attrition rates may increase or fluctuate as a result of various factors, including customer dissatisfaction with our services,dissatisfaction, customers’ spending levels, mix of customer base, decreases in the number of users at our customers, competition, pricing increases or changes, such as the increased prevalence of consumption-based pricing models and economic downturns.

Reworded

Our future success also depends in part on our ability to sell additional features and services, more subscriptions or enhanced editions of our services to our current customers. This may also require increasingly sophisticated and costly sales efforts that are targeted at senior management. Similarly, the rate at which our customers purchase new or enhanced services depends on a number of factors, including general economic conditions and customer receptiveness to any price changes related to these additional features and services. In addition, the markets and monetization strategies for certain offerings, including Agentforce and Data 360, remain relatively new and uncertain and may present additional risks and challenges.

Removed

In addition, the markets and monetization strategies for certain offerings, including Agentforce and Data Cloud, remain relatively new and uncertain and as a result our expansion into such offerings, and related investments, may present additional risks and challenges. For example, we offer certain products, including Agentforce and Data Cloud, through a consumption-based business model and may increase the number of products through which we do so. We have limited experience with determining optimal pricing for our consumption-based contracts. Additionally, due to customer flexibility in the timing of their consumption, we could have lower levels of customer consumption of our products than we expect which may result in suboptimal pricing for consumption-based contracts.

Reworded

We periodically change and make adjustments to our sales organization in response to market opportunities, competitive threats, management changes, product introductions or enhancements, acquisitions, sales performance, increases in sales headcount, cost levels and other internal and external considerations. Such sales organization changes have in some periods resulted in, and may in the future result in, a reduction of productivity, which could negatively impact our rate of growth in the current and future quarters and operating results,results. including revenue.

Reworded

Our platform unites sales, service, marketing, commerce and IT teams by connecting customer data across systems, apps and devices to create a complete view of customers. With this single source of customer truth and integrated AI,artificial intelligence (“AI”), teams can be more responsive, productive and efficient, deliver intelligent, personalized experiences across every channel and increase productivity. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we introduced Agentforce, a new layer of our trusted platform that enables companies to build and deploy AI agents that can respond to inputs, make decisions and take action autonomously across business functions. Agentforce includes a suite of customizable agents for use across sales, service, marketing and commerce. We continue to invest for growth, including investing in generative and agentic AI across all products, which we believe will change how our customers help their customers, and continuously look to expand our leadership role in the cloud computing industry.

Reworded

We continue to focus on several key growth levers, including driving multiple service offering adoption, increasing our penetration with enterprise and international customers and expanding our industry-specific reach with more vertical software solutions. These growth levers often require a more sophisticated go-to-market approach and, as a result, we may incur additional costs upfront to obtain new customers and expand our relationships with existing customers, including additional sales and marketing expenses specific to subscription and support revenue. As a result, we have seen that customers with many of these characteristics drive higher annual revenues and have lower attrition rates than our company average. In addition to these growth levers, our mergers and acquisitions framework has included several acquisitions that have accelerated our agentic roadmap, including our October 2025 acquisition of Regrello Corp. (“Regrello”) and our November 2025 acquisition of Informatica, Inc. (“Informatica”). These acquisitions bring in key talent and technology to accelerate innovation.

•Informatica Acquisition: In November 2025, we completed our acquisition of Informatica, an AI-powered enterprise cloud data management platform, for approximately $9.6 billion. Informatica contributed approximately $0.4 billion of revenue in fiscal 2026.

Added

During fiscal 2026, we experienced strong momentum in Agentforce, Slack and Data 360, bolstered by the acquisition of Informatica. As we have a diversified portfolio of AI-enabled products and a customer base spanning geographies, segments, and industries, demand for our offerings has remained relatively resilient.

Removed

In the second half of fiscal 2025, we continued seeing increasing momentum for Agentforce and other AI service offerings. Outside of the demand for AI, the buying environment trends seen over the past two fiscal years have stabilized. A reemergence of slower growth in new and renewal business could impact our remaining performance obligation, revenues and our ability to meet financial guidance and long-term targets.

Reworded

In addition, the expanding global scope of our business and the heightened volatility of global markets expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency markets. Total revenues in the fiscal year ended January 31, 20252026 werewas minimallypositively impacted by approximately one percent in foreign currency fluctuations compared to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024.2025. Our current remaining performance obligation growth as of January 31, 20252026 compared to January 31, 20242025 was negativelypositively impacted by twothree percent compared to what would have been reported using constant currency rates. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations could impact our near-term results and ability to accurately predict our future results and earnings. The impact of these fluctuations can also be compounded by the seasonality of our business in which our fourth quarter has historically been our strongest quarter for new business and renewals.

Reworded

Subscription and support revenues primarily include subscription fees from customers accessing our enterprise cloud computing services (collectively, “Cloud Services”), software license revenues from the sales of term software licenses, and support revenues from the sale of support and updates beyond the basic subscription fees or related to the sales of software licenses. Our Cloud Services allow customers to use our multi-tenant software without taking possession of the software. Revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract term. Subscription and support revenues also include revenues associated with term software licenses that provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available. Revenues from term software licenses are generally recognized at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer. Revenue from support and updates is recognized as such support and updates are provided, which is generally ratably over the contract term. Changes in contract duration for multi-year term software licenses can impact the amount of revenues recognized upfront. Revenues from term software licenses represent less than ten percent of total subscription and support revenue for fiscal 2025.2026.

Reworded

Our growth in revenues is also impacted by attrition. Attrition represents the reduction or loss of the annualized value of our contracts with customers. We calculate our attrition rate at a point in time on a trailing twelve-month basis as of the end of each month. In general, we exclude service offerings from acquisitions from our attrition calculation until they are fully integrated into our customer success organization. As of January 31, 2025,2026, our attrition rate, excluding Slack self-service,self-service and current year acquisitions, was approximately eight percent.

Reworded

Unearned revenue primarily consists of billings to customers for our subscription service. Over 90 percent of the value of our billings to customers is for our subscription and support service. We generally invoice our customers in advance, in annual installments, and typical payment terms provide that our customers pay us within 30 days of invoice. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in unearned revenue or in revenue depending on whether transfer of control to customers has occurred. In general, we collect our billings in advance of the subscription service period. We typically issue renewal invoices in advance of the renewal service period, and depending on timing, the initial invoice for the subscription and services contract and the subsequent renewal invoice may occur in different quarters. There is a disproportionate weighting toward annual billings in the fourth quarter, primarily as a result of large enterprise account buying patterns. Our fourth quarter has historically been our strongest quarter for new business and renewals. The year-on-year compounding effect of this seasonality in both billing patterns and overall new and renewal business causes the value of invoices that we generate in the fourth quarter for both new business and renewals to increase as a proportion of our total annual billings. Accordingly, because of this billing activity, our first quarter is typically our largest collections and operating cash flow quarter. Generally, our second or third quarter has historically been our smallest operating cash flow quarter. Unearned revenues, accounts receivable and operating cash flow may also be impacted by acquisitions. For example, operating cash flows may be adversely impacted by acquisitions due to transaction costs, financing costs such as interest expense and lower operating cash flows from the acquired entity.

Reworded

Cost of subscription and support revenues primarily consists of expenses related to our employee-related costs, which includes salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, delivering our service and providing support, including the costs of data center capacity, certain fees paid to various third parties for the use of their technology, services and data, and allocated overhead. Our cost of subscription and support revenues also includes amortization of certain acquisition-related intangible assets, such as the amortization of the cost associated with an acquired company’s researchdeveloped and development efforts.technology. Also included in the cost of subscription and support revenues are expenses incurred supporting the free user base of Slack, including third-party hosting costs and employee-related costs specific to customer experience and technical operations.

Business Combinations. Accounting for business combinations requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to tangible and intangible assets acquiredacquired, andas well as liabilities assumed and pre-acquisition contingencies. We use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as the useful lives of those acquired intangible assets.

Reworded

Strategic Investments. Accounting for strategic investments in privately held debt and equity securities in which we do not have a controlling interest or significant influence requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions. Valuations of privately held securities are inherently complex and require judgment due to the lack of readily available market data. Privately held debt and equity securities are valued using significant unobservable inputs or data in an inactive market and these valuations require our judgment due to the absence of market prices and inherent lack of liquidity. The carrying values of our privately held equity securities are adjusted if there are observable price changes in a same or similar security from the same issuer or if there are identified events or changes in circumstances that may indicate impairment, as discussed below. In determining the estimated fair value for these investments, we utilize the most recent data available and apply valuation methods, including the market approachapproach, the common stock equivalent (“CSE”) method, and option pricing models (“OPM”), adjusted to reflect the specific rights and preferences of the classes of securities we hold. Such information available to us from investee companies is supplemented with estimates such as volatility and expected time to liquidity.

Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2026 and 2025

Added

The increase in subscription and support revenues for fiscal 2026 was primarily caused by volume-driven increases from new business, which includes new customers, upgrades and additional subscriptions from existing customers. Pricing was not a significant driver of the increase in revenues for the period. Revenues from term software licenses, which are recognized at a point in time, represented approximately six percent of total subscription and support revenues for fiscal 2026 and 2025. Subscription and support revenues accounted for approximately 95 percent and 94 percent of our total revenues for fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Added

The decrease in professional services and other revenues for fiscal 2026 was primarily due to less demand for larger, multi-year transformation engagements, which may continue in the near term.

Added

The acquisition of Informatica in November 2025 contributed approximately $399 million of revenue in fiscal 2026.

Added

Subscription and Support Revenues by Service Offering(1)

Added

(1) In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we renamed our service offerings to reference Agentforce. There were no changes in the allocation of revenue between these service offerings as a result of this change.

Added

(2) Agentforce 360 Platform, Slack and Other revenue for the year ended January 31, 2026 includes $388 million in subscription and support revenue from Informatica, Inc. (“Informatica”), which we acquired in November 2025.

Added

Agentforce Integration and Agentforce Analytics subscription and support revenues include revenues from term software licenses, which are recognized at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer. Therefore, we expect these offerings to experience greater volatility in revenues period to period compared to our other service offerings and recent revenue trends may not be indicative of future performance. Additionally, as we transition customers within the Agentforce Integration and Agentforce Analytics offering from term software licenses to subscription based services, revenue associated with such customers will generally be recognized ratably over the contract term, which we expect may potentially result in less revenue in the period the customer transitions but incremental revenues over the remaining term.

Added

Revenues by geography are determined based on the region of the Salesforce contracting entity, which may be different than the region of the customer. The increase in revenues across all regions was primarily due to the continued execution of our business and growth strategy, including increasing our geographic reach primarily through extending our go-to-market capabilities globally. Foreign currency positively impacted the year over year fluctuations in revenue by approximately one percent.

Added

For fiscal 2026, the increase in cost of revenues in absolute dollars was primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, and an increase to service delivery expenses partially offset by a decrease in amortization of purchased intangibles. Cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues during fiscal 2026 decreased by one percent from the same period a year ago due to our total revenues growth outpacing our cost of revenues growth, which was partially offset by the scaling of our service delivery expenses.

Added

We intend to continue to invest additional resources in our AI, agentic and cloud services to allow us to scale with our customers and continue to evolve our security measures. The timing of these expenses may cause our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues to fluctuate over time due to changes in demand for our service offerings.

Added

For fiscal 2026, the increase in research and development expenses in absolute dollars was primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues during fiscal 2026 was consistent with the same period a year ago.

Added

We expect that research and development expenses will likely remain consistent as a percentage of revenue over time as we continue to invest in the development of new, and improve existing, technologies, including AI, agents and our Data 360 service offerings, and the integration of acquired technologies, including our November 2025 acquisition of Informatica.

Added

For fiscal 2026, the increase in sales and marketing expenses in absolute dollars was primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, and increased amortization of purchased intangibles primarily associated with the Informatica acquisition. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues during fiscal 2026 was consistent with the same period a year ago.

Added

For fiscal 2026, the increase in general and administrative expenses in absolute dollars was primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, and professional services expenses, which were partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expenses. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues during fiscal 2026 was consistent with the same period a year ago.

Added

In fiscal 2026, approximately $586 million of costs were incurred related to our restructuring initiatives, which was primarily related to employee transitions, severance payments and employee benefits, as well as select data center exits. We do not expect to incur significant additional charges in connection with our restructuring initiatives in the near term.

Added

Gains (losses) on strategic investments, net consists primarily of mark-to-market adjustments related to observable price adjustments related to our privately held equity securities, our publicly held equity securities and other adjustments including impairments. Our strategic investment portfolio continues to be affected by market conditions for companies in which we hold private securities, including the pace of technological change driven by artificial intelligence and volatility in public equity markets. For fiscal 2026, the gain on our strategic investment portfolio was primarily driven by unrealized gains on privately held equity investments of $1.5 billion partially offset by impairments on privately held investments of $496 million. Our mark-to-market unrealized gains in fiscal 2026 were driven largely by $1.2 billion in gains from one privately held equity investment.

Added

Other income primarily consists of interest income on our marketable securities portfolio, which is partially offset by interest expense on our debt as well as our finance leases. Other income decreased in fiscal 2026 primarily due to a decrease in investment income from lower interest rates. We expect that interest expense may increase due to the outstanding balance related to the Informatica Credit Agreements.

Added

We recorded a tax provision of $2.1 billion on pretax income of $9.5 billion for fiscal 2026. Our effective tax rate increased from a year ago primarily due to lower tax benefits from foreign-derived intangible income deduction and stock-based compensation. Our effective tax rate may fluctuate due to changes in our domestic and foreign earnings, or material discrete tax items, or a combination of these factors resulting from transactions or events, including acquisitions, changes to our operating structure and other macroeconomic factors.

Added

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The OBBBA includes significant changes to US corporate tax provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Notably, it allows an immediate deduction for domestic research and development expenditures, reinstates 100% bonus depreciation, and modifies the international tax framework. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in fiscal 2026 and others in the subsequent years. The changes had an immaterial impact to the Company’s tax provision in fiscal 2026.

Removed

The increase in subscription and support revenues for fiscal 2025 was primarily caused by volume-driven increases from new business, which includes new customers, upgrades and additional subscriptions from existing customers. Pricing was not a significant driver of the increase in revenues for the period. Revenues from term software licenses, which are recognized at a point in time, represented approximately six percent and seven percent of total subscription and support revenues for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. Subscription and support revenues accounted for approximately 94 percent and 93 percent of our total revenues for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Removed

The decrease in professional services and other revenues for fiscal 2025 was due primarily to less demand for larger, multi-year transformation engagements and, in some cases, delayed projects. These trends may continue in the near term.

Losses on strategic investments, net consists primarily of mark-to-market adjustments related to our publicly held equity securities, observable price adjustments related to our privately held equity securities and other adjustments including impairments. Our strategic investment portfolio continues to be affected by challenging market conditions for companies in which we hold private equity, debt or other investments, as well as high public equity market volatility. In fiscal 2025 these factors resulted in impairments on privately-held equity and debt securities of $582 million, partially offset by $358 million in unrealized gains on privately held equity securities.

Removed

Other income primarily consists of interest income on our marketable securities portfolio, which is partially offset by interest expense on our debt as well as our finance leases. Other income increased in fiscal 2025 primarily due to an increase in investment income from higher interest rates.

AtAs of January 31, 2025,2026, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $14.0$9.6 billion and accounts receivable of $11.9$14.3 billion. Our cash equivalents and marketable securities are comprised primarily of corporate notes and obligations, U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency obligations, asset-backed securities, foreign government obligations, mortgage-backed obligations, covered bonds, time deposits, money market mutual funds and municipal securities. Our Revolving Loan Credit Agreement (as defined below), which provides the ability to borrow up to $5.0 billion in unsecured financing (the “Credit Facility”) as of January 31, 2025,2026, also serves as a source of liquidity.

Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

Equality and sustainability are core values of the Company. In furtherance of these values, we have in the past and may in the future establish and disclose quantitative and qualitative statements related to equality and sustainability matters, which are subject to numerous risks and dependencies. The proliferation of regulations and guidance addressing climate, human capital and other topics at the regional, state and national levels has required and may continue to require significant effort and resources, and our practices, processes and controls may not ensure compliance with evolving standards. Further, various regulations or guidance may conflict with each other, making universal compliance challenging as a multinational company, and our status as a government contractor in various jurisdictions, including but not limited to the U.S. where we are headquartered, may also result in greater exposure or differentiated obligations or requirements with which we would seek to comply. The standards and frameworks for tracking and reporting on these matters continue to evolve, and our use, interpretation or application of such frameworks and standards may change from time to time or differ from those of other companies, which may result in a lack of consistent or meaningful comparative data from period to period or between Salesforce and other companies.

Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

As we scale our operations, the volume and nature of data processed by our offerings continue to evolve, including as a result of the deployment of AI technologies, and our infrastructure capacity requirements, including network capacity, computing power and energy requirements, may increase as a result. Additionally, increased energy consumption, including as a result of AI adoption, climate-related events, energy market volatility, and power grid disruptions may increase the operational costs related to inputs across our value chain, including for data centers. Increasing constraints on data center power, land, and water availability could limit our ability to expand data center capacity in affected regions, increase operational costs, or require us to modify our infrastructure plans in ways that could impair the delivery of our services. If we experience significant strains on our data center capacity, whether due to insufficient infrastructure capacitycapacity, public or governmental opposition to data centers or the unavailability of or limitations on suitable sites, or for other reasons outside of our control, our ability to migrate or scale operations could be constrained and our customers could experience performance degradation or service outages that may subject us to financial liabilities, result in customer losses, subject us to litigation and harm our reputation and business. As we add data centers and capacity and continue to move to cloud computing platform providers, we move or transfer our data and our customers’ data from time to time. Despite precautions taken during this process, any unsuccessful data transfers may impair the delivery of our services, which may damage our business.

In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the following discussion of material risks, events and uncertainties that make an investment in us speculative or risky in addition to the other information included in this AnnualQuarterly Report. A manifestation of any of the following risks and uncertainties could, in circumstances we may or may not be able to accurately predict, materially and adversely affect our business and operations, growth, reputation, prospects, operating and financial results, financial condition, cash flows, liquidity and stock price. Some of the factors, events and contingencies discussed below may have occurred in the past, but the disclosures below are not representations as to whether or not the factors, events or contingencies have occurred in the past and instead reflect our beliefs and opinions as to the factors, events or contingencies that could materially and adversely affect us in the future. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Other events, factors or uncertainties that we do not currently anticipate or that we currently deem immaterial also may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, other key metrics and the trading price of our common stock. Therefore, you should not consider the following risks to be a complete statement of all the potential risks or uncertainties that we face.

Since our customers rely on our products and services for important aspects of their operations, errors, defects, service disruptions or other performance issues have in the past adversely impacted our customers and could do so in the future. As a result, customers could elect to not renew their services, delay or withhold payment or make warranty or other claims against us. Such outcomes could reduce future sales, increase in our allowance for doubtful accounts, increase collection cycles and expose us to litigation and related expenses.

As we scale our operations, the volume and nature of data processed by our offerings continue to evolve, including as a result of the deployment of AI technologies, and our infrastructure capacity requirements, including network capacity, computing power and energy requirements, may increase as a result. Additionally, increased energy consumption, including as a result of AI adoption, climate-related events, energy market volatility, and power grid disruptions may increase the operational costs related to inputs across our value chain, including for data centers.

Any of these risks could harm our business or negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, to facilitate acquisitions, we may seek additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all, which may affect our ability to complete subsequent acquisitions, and which may affect the risks of owning our common stock. If we finance acquisitions by issuing equity or convertible or other debt securities or taking out loans, our existing stockholders may be diluted, or we could face constraints related to the terms of, and repayment obligation related to, the incurrence of indebtedness that could affect our stock price. For example, in connection with our acquisition of Informatica, we entered into the Informatica Credit Agreements on an unsecured basis. In November 2025, the Company borrowed the full $6.0 billion available under the Informatica Credit Agreements to finance a portion of the cash consideration for the acquisition, repay existing indebtedness of Informatica and its subsidiaries, and pay related fees, costs, and expenses. For more information, see Note 8 “Debt” to the consolidated financial statements in Item 81 of Part 2.I.

Our success will depend in part upon the ability of our senior management to plan and manage our projected growth effectively. We must continue to increase the productivity of our existing employees and to hire, train and manage employees as needed. Additionally, changes in our work environment and workforce may not meet the needs and expectations of our workforce or may create operational and workplace culture challenges, which could negatively impact our ability to increase employee productivity or attract and retain our employees and could adversely affect our operations. Furthermore, new AI offerings and technologies, which are integrated into our operations, may disrupt workforce needs and could adversely affect our operations if not managed properly. To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, our reporting systems and procedures and our utilization of real estate. If we fail to successfully scale our operations, refine our operating model, maintain effective governance and accountability, executiveexecute cross-functionally, and increase productivity across our organization, we may be unable to execute our business plan and the value of our common stock could decline.

Reworded

We may face greater costs, longer sales cycles, greater competition and less predictability in completing some of our sales to large enterprise customers, including governmental entities and customers in regulated industries. In these market segments, the customer’s decision to use our services—particularly our newer AI and data-related offerings such as Agentforce and Data360Data 360—may require us to provide extensive implementation planning, education regarding the use and benefits of our services, as well as address other concerns, such as heightened privacy and data protection requirements.

Reworded

In addition, larger enterprise customers and governmental entities often demand significant pricing and packaging flexibility, as well as complex configuration and integration services and features. These opportunities often require us to devote greater sales support and professional services resources to individual customers, driving up costs and time required to complete sales and diverting our own sales and professional services resources to a smaller number of larger transactions, while potentially requiring us to delay revenue recognition on some of these transactions until the technical or implementation requirements have been met. Additionally, the pricing and packaging strategies for enterprise and other customers for our offerings, including Agentforce and Data360,Data 360, may not be widely accepted. Our adoption of or failure to adopt changes to our pricing and packaging models, or failure to otherwise execute our go-to-market strategies for large, complex transactions, may harm our business.

Reworded

Further, entry into markets with weaker protection of brands or changes in the legal systems in countries where we operate may impact our ability to protect our brands. If we fail to maintain, enhance or protect our brands, or if we incur excessive expenses in our efforts to do so, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

We are exposed to volatility in our operating results due to changes in market prices, observable price changes and impairments of our strategic investments. Concentrations of portfolio value in specific industry sectors, such as emerging technology and AI, or in one or more specific companies, could increase our exposure to such volatility in the event of industry-wide or company-specific downturns.

Equality and sustainability are core values of the Company. In furtherance of these values, we have in the past and may in the future establish and disclose quantitative and qualitative statements related to equality and sustainability matters, which are subject to numerous risks and dependencies. The proliferation of regulations and guidance addressing climate, human capital and other topics at the regional, state and national levels has required and may continue to require significant effort and resources, and our practices, processes and controls may not ensure compliance with evolving standards. Further, various regulations or guidance may conflict with each other, making universal compliance challenging as a multinational company, and our status as a government contractor in various jurisdictions, including but not limited to the U.S. where we are headquartered, may also result in greater exposure or differentiated obligations or requirements with which we would seek to comply. The standards and frameworks for tracking and reporting on these matters continue to evolve, and our use, interpretation or application of such frameworks and standards may change from time to time or differ from those of other companies, which may result in a lack of consistent or meaningful comparative data from period to period or between Salesforce and other companies. Furthermore, the integration and use of AI in our products and operations introduces operational risks and complexities, which may impact our ability to accurately track, benchmark, or report on these matters. In addition, our practices and disclosures may not satisfy, appropriately respond to the concerns of or be supported by all investors, customers, partners, regulators, enforcement authorities or other stakeholders, whose expectations and requirements are evolving, varied, and oftentimes conflicting. Any violation of, non-compliance with or failure to meet such expectations or requirements, or negative publicity related to our practices or disclosures, could result in harm to our reputation, our ability to attract or retain employees, and our attractiveness as an investment, business partner, acquiror or service provider, could expose us to increased scrutiny or to regulatory or enforcement actions or litigation, and could cause us to incur increased costs to address or defend against such actions.

These laws continue to evolve and expand, including through the adoption of new comprehensive data protection regimes such as India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, and through the introduction of additional implementing rules and regulations in various jurisdictions. As a result, we and our customers may become subject to additional regulatory burdens. New EU laws, including the DSA, the Data Act and the EU AI Act, have also been adopted and, depending on how they are implemented, interpreted and enforced, may impose additional rules, restrictions or compliance requirements on the development, deployment or use of our products and services, including AI-enabled features.

Further, jurisdictions are increasingly applying existing data privacy, consumer protection and other laws to AI, including emerging AI technologies such as generative AI,AI. and are also enacting, or considering enacting,Additionally, AI-specific legal frameworks, such as the EU AI Act, and the Utah Artificial Intelligence Policy Act, Colorado'’s law governing the Coloradouse of automated decision-making technology (SB 26-189), the Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence ActGovernance andAct, regulations issued under the draft CCPA regulations ongoverning automated decision-making technology.technology, and similar laws and regulations that have passed, gone into effect or are being considered in other jurisdictions, can impose obligations on us or third-party providers on which we rely. As these laws and regulations are implemented, interpreted and enforced, they may impose new or additional compliance obligations or restrictions on our products, services or business practices.practices, and requirements may vary or conflict across jurisdictions. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with applicable AI-related legal requirements could have an adverse impact on our business. Data privacy and other related regulations may also seek to impose additional direct security and enforcement obligations on us as a service provider or potentially require us to mandate specific security configurations for our customers. These requirements may impact the flexibility of our service offerings, increase our operational oversight costs, and potentially subject us to administrative sanctions.

Our business depends, in part, on sales to government organizations, and significant changes in the contracting or fiscal policies of such government organizations could adversely affect our business and operating results. Contracting with federal, state, local and foreign governments or state-owned entities subjects us to various procurement regulations and other requirements relating to these contracts’ formation, administration and performance, as well as broader compliance obligations regarding our corporate activities and how we engage with government officials. Government contracts may also at times be modified or terminated for convenience. We are from time to time subject to audits, inquiries and investigations relating to our government contracts, which may result in adverse perceptions of our business, reductions in utilization of our services or termination of our contracts without cause and at any time. Additionally, any violations could result in various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, refunding or suspending of payments, forfeiture of profits, payment of fines and suspension or debarment from future government business, as well as reputational harm. Additionally, our relationships with certain government entities may result in negative publicity or reputational harm. Furthermore, pressures on and uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal government’s budget and potential changes in budgetary priorities could adversely affect the funding for and purchases of our services by government organizations. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could adversely impact our future sales, costs of doing business and operating results.

As of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026, we had a substantial level of outstanding debt, including our Senior Notes. We are also party to the Revolving Loan Credit Agreement, which provides for our $5.0 billion Credit Facility, as well as the 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement. Although there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility as of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026, we may use the proceeds of future borrowings under the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. In March 2026, we borrowed $6.0 billion under the 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement to repay in full the outstanding principal under the Informatica Credit Agreements and to pay related fees and expenses. In March 2026, we also issued the March 2026 Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 billion, with maturities ranging from 2028 to 2066. We used the net proceeds from the March 2026 Notes to fund an accelerated share repurchase program of our common stock.

Geopolitical crises, natural disasters or other catastrophic events have in the past and may in the future cause damage or disruption to our people, operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations, as well as the business operations of our customers and third-party providers or suppliers that we rely on, are subject to interruption or disruption by geopolitical crises,crises (including tensions between governments of markets where we operate), natural disasters, fire, power or water shutoffs or shortages, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, acts of violence, political and/or civil unrest, acts of war or other military actions, actual or threatened public health emergencies and other events beyond our control. For example, the occurrence of regional conflicts, epidemics or a global pandemic have in the past and may in the future materially affect how we and our customers operate our businesses, as well as our operating results and cash flows. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, if such catastrophic events occur it could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers or negatively impact demand for our services, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

Our diversified product portfolio and global customer base has provided us with operational resiliency across various geographies, products, and industry segments. During the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2027, we experienced sustainedstrong growthmomentum in Agentforce Apps and Data 360, bolstered by the acquisition of Informatica.

Reworded

In addition, the expanding global scope of our business and the heightened volatility of global markets expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency markets. Total revenues in the threesix months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2026 were positively impacted by approximately twoone percent infrom foreign currency fluctuations compared to the threesix months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2025. Relative to AprilJuly 30,31, 2025, our current remaining performance obligation growth as of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026 was positivelyminimally impacted by one percent compared to what would have been reported using constant currency rates. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations could impact our near-term results and ability to accurately predict our future results and earnings. The impact of these fluctuations can also be compounded by the seasonality of our business in which our fourth quarter has historically been our strongest quarter for new business and renewals.

Reworded

We derive our revenues from two sources: (1) subscription and support revenues and (2) professional services and other revenues. Subscription and support revenues accounted for approximately 95 percent of our total revenues for the threesix months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2026.

Reworded

Subscription and support revenues primarily include subscription fees from customers accessing our enterprise cloud computing services (collectively, “Cloud Services”), software license revenues from the sales of term software licenses, and support revenues from the sale of support and updates beyond the basic subscription fees or related to the sales of software licenses. Our Cloud Services allow customers to use our multi-tenant software without taking possession of the software. Revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract term. Subscription and support revenues also include revenues associated with term software licenses that provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available. Revenues from term software licenses are generally recognized at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer. Revenue from support and updates is recognized as such support and updates are provided, which is generally ratably over the contract term. Changes in contract duration for multi-year term software licenses can impact the amount of revenues recognized upfront. Revenues from term software licenses represent less than ten percent of total subscription and support revenue for the three and six months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2026.

Reworded

Our growth in revenues is also impacted by attrition. Attrition represents the reduction or loss of the annualized value of our contracts with customers. We calculate our attrition rate at a point in time on a trailing twelve-month basis as of the end of each month. In general, we exclude service offerings from acquisitions from our attrition calculation until they are fully integrated into our customer success organization. As of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026, our attrition rate, excluding Slack self-service, Informatica, and current year acquisitions, was approximately eight percent.

Reworded

The comparability of our operating results in the three and six months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2026 compared to the same period in fiscal 2026 was impacted by our recent acquisitions, including the acquisition of Informatica in November 2025. In our discussion of changes in our results of operations for the three and six months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2026, compared to the same period in fiscal 2026, we may quantitatively disclose the impact of our acquired products and services for the one-year period subsequent to the acquisition date to the growth in certain of our revenues where such discussions would be meaningful. Expense contributions from our recent acquisitions for each of the respective period comparisons generally were not separately identifiable due to the integration of these businesses into our existing operations or were insignificant to our results of operations during the periods presented.

Reworded

The increase in subscription and support revenues for the three and six months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2026 was primarily caused by volume-driven increases from new business, which includes new customers, upgradesupgrades, and additional subscriptions from existing customers. Pricing was not a significant driver of the increase in revenues for theeither period. Revenues from term software licenses, which are recognized at a point in time, represented approximately four percent and five percent of total subscription and support revenues for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, and six percent of total subscription and support revenues for the three and six months ended AprilJuly 30, 2026 and31, 2025. Subscription and support revenues accounted for approximately 95 percent of our total revenues for the three and six months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2026 and 95 percent for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025.

Reworded

The increasedecrease in professional services and other revenues for the three and six months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2026 was primarily due incremental revenue from Informatica which was partially offset byto less demand for larger, multi-year transformation engagements, which may continue in the near term.
