We exclude expenses related to share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-coupon impact related to exchangeable senior notesthe Notes and capped calls, the related income tax effects on these items, and changes in our assessment regarding the realizability of our deferred tax assets from certain of our non-

IFRSnon-IFRS financial measures as we believe this helps investors understand our operational performance. In addition, share-based compensation expense can be difficult to predict and varies from period to period and company to company due to differing valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of equity instruments, as well as changes in stock price. Management believes that providing non-IFRS financial measures that exclude share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-coupon impact related to exchangeable senior notesthe Notes and capped calls, the related income tax effects on these items, and changes in our assessment regarding the realizability of our deferred tax assets allow for more meaningful comparisons between our operating results of operations from period to period.
Management considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by our business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening our statement of financial position.
Management uses non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS operating income, non-IFRS net income, non-IFRS net income per diluted share, and free cash flow:
As measures of operating performance, because these financial measures do not include the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations; 
For planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; 
To allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; 
To evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; and 
In communications with our board of directors and investors concerning our financial performance.
We understand that although non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS operating income, non-IFRS net income, non-IFRS net income per diluted share and free cash flow are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, these measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under IFRS.

D. Risk Factors
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

A description of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business is set forth below. You should carefully consider such risks and uncertainties, together with the other information contained in this annual report, and in our other public filings. If any of such risks and uncertainties actually occurs,occur, our business, financial condition or operating results of operations could differ materially from the plans, projections and other forward-looking statements included elsewhere in this annual report and in our other public filings. In addition, if any of the following risks and uncertainties, or if any other risks and uncertainties, actually occurs,occur, our business, financial condition, or operating results of operations could be harmed substantially.

Risk Factor Summary

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in this section titled “Risk Factors” and summarized below. We have various categories of risks, including, risks related to our business and industry, risks related to information technology, intellectual property, and data security and privacy, risks related to legal, regulatory, accounting, and tax matters, risks related to ownership of our Class A ordinary shares, risks related to our indebtedness and outstanding Notes, risks related to being a foreign private issuer or English company, and general risks, which are discussed more fully below. As a result, this risk factor summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to you, and you should read this risk factor summary together with the more detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties set forth following this summary, as well as elsewhere in this annual report. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

The COVID-19 pandemic, and any associated economic and social impacts, could harm our business and results of operations.
Our rapid growth makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not continue to grow at or near historical rates.
We may not be able to sustain our revenue growth rate or achieve profitability in the future.
The markets in which we participate are intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.
Our distribution model of offering and selling on-premises offerings of certain of our products, in addition to offering and selling cloud offerings of these products, increases our expenses, may impact revenue recognition timing, and may pose other challenges to our business.
Our business depends on our customers renewing their subscriptions and maintenance plans and purchasing additional licenses or subscriptions from us, and any decline in our customer retention or expansion could harm our future results of operations.
If we are not able to develop new products and enhancements to our existing products that achieve market acceptance and that keep pace with technological developments, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business.
Our business model relies on a high volume of transactions and affordable pricing. As lower cost or free products are introduced by our competitors, our ability to generate new customers could be harmed.
If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to customer data is otherwise obtained, our products may be perceived as insecure, we may lose existing customers or fail to attract new customers, and we may incur significant liabilities.
Interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure could harm our business and results of operations.

9


Real or perceived errors, failures, vulnerabilities or bugs in our products or in the products on Atlassian Marketplace could harm our business and results of operations.
Because our products rely on the movement of data across national boundaries, global privacy and data security concerns could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our products globally.
Our global operations and structure subject us to potentially adverse tax consequences.
The dual class structure of our ordinary shares has the effect of concentrating voting control with certain shareholders, in particular, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and their affiliates, which will limit our other shareholders’ ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.
Paying amounts due in cash in respect of our outstanding Notes on interest payment dates, at maturity and upon exchange thereof will require a significant amount of cash. We may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay when due, or raise the funds necessary to pay when due, amounts owed in respect of the Notes, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to report our financial results under IFRS, are exempt from certain rules under the U.S. securities laws and are permitted to file less information with the SEC than a U.S. company, and our Class A ordinary shares are not listed, and we do not intend to list our shares, on any market in the United Kingdom, our country of incorporation. This may limit the information available to holders of our Class A ordinary shares.
As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain requirements under the Nasdaq listing standards. This may afford less protection to holders of our Class A ordinary shares than U.S. regulations.
The rights of our shareholders may differ from the rights typically offered to shareholders of a U.S. corporation.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
The COVID-19 pandemic, and any associated economic and social impacts, could harm our business and results of operations.
In January 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, and a pandemic in March 2020. This outbreak has continued to rapidly spread across the world and has significantly impacted global economic activity, worldwide financial markets and social practices. The related adverse public health developments, including orders to shelter-in-place, travel restrictions, and mandated business closures, have adversely affected workforces, organizations, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn and increased market volatility. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. The COVID-19 pandemic may prevent us from conducting business operations at full capacity for an indefinite period of time. For example, we have taken precautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the virus to our employees which may disrupt our operations, including temporarily closing our offices worldwide, requiring all employees to work remotely (and subsequently announcing that most employees will have flexibility to work remotely indefinitely), and suspending all travel worldwide for our employees. An extended period of involuntary remote-work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including cybersecurity risks and increased costs, and impair our ability to effectively manage our business, which may negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition. We are actively monitoring the impacts of the situation and may adjust our current policies and practices as more information and public health guidance become available.
This outbreak and the resulting economic and social impact, as well as intensified measures undertaken to contain the spread of COVID-19, could decrease technology spending, affect our ability to accurately forecast our future results, adversely affect demand for our products, cause some of our paid customers or suppliers to file for bankruptcy protection or go out of business, affect the ability of our customer support team to conduct in-person trainings or our solutions partners to conduct in-person sales, impact expected spending from new customers or renewals or expansions from existing customers, negatively impact collections of accounts receivable, result in elongated sales cycles, and harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In particular, we have revenue exposure to customers who are small- and medium-sized businesses and to industries that may be disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. If these customers’ business operations and finances are negatively affected, they may not purchase or renew our products, may reduce or delay spending, or request extended payment terms or price concessions, which would negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

10


The extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our business, results of operations, and financial position will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions taken by governments and authorities to contain the virus or treat its impact, the effectiveness of current vaccine treatments, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.
Our rapid growth makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not continue to grow at or near historical rates.
We have been growing rapidly over the last several years, and as a result, our ability to forecast our future results of operations is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to effectively plan for and model future growth. Our recent and historical growth should not be considered indicative of our future performance. We have encountered in the past, and will encounter in the future, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, our growth rates may slow, and our business would suffer.
We may not be able to sustain our revenue growth rate or achieve profitability in the future.
Our historical growth rate should not be considered indicative of our future performance and may decline in the future. In future periods, our revenue could grow more slowly than in recent periods or decline for a number of reasons, including any reduction in demand for our products, increase in competition, limited ability to, or our decision not to, increase pricing, contraction of our overall market, a slower than anticipated adoption of or migration to our cloud offerings, or our failure to capitalize on growth opportunities. For example, in October 2020, we announced that beginning in February 2021, we will no longer sell new perpetual licenses for our products, or upgrades to these on-premises versions of our products starting in February 2022, and plan to end maintenance and support for these on-premises versions of our products in February 2024. If a significant portion of our customers do not transition to our cloud or data center offerings, our revenue growth rates and profitability may be negatively impacted.
In addition, we expect expenses to increase substantially in the near term, particularly as we continue to make significant investments in research and development and technology infrastructure for our cloud offerings, expand our operations globally and develop new products and features for, and enhancements of, our existing products. As a result of these significant investments, and in particular share-based compensation associated with our growth, we do not expect to achieve IFRS profitability in the near term and may not be able to achieve IFRS profitability in future periods. In addition, theThe additional expenses we will incur may not lead to sufficient additional revenue to maintain historical revenue growth rates and profitability.
The markets in which we participate are intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.
The markets for our solutions are fragmented, rapidly evolving, and highly competitive, and have relatively low barriers to entry. We face competition from both traditional, larger software vendors offering full collaboration and productivity suites and smaller companies offering point products for features and use cases. Our principal competitors vary depending on the product category and include Microsoft (including GitHub), IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Google, ServiceNow, salesforce.com, PagerDuty, Gitlab, Zendesk, Asana, Monday.com and Github (acquired by Microsoft).Smartsheet. In addition, some of our competitors have made acquisitions to offer a more comprehensive product or service offering, which may allow them to compete more effectively with our products. We expect this trend to continue as companies attempt to strengthen or maintain their market positions in an evolving industry. Following such potential consolidations, companies may create more compelling product offerings and be able to offer more attractive pricing options, making it more difficult for us to compete effectively.

Our competitors, particularly our competitors with greater financial and operating resources, may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or customer requirements. With the introduction of new technologies, the evolution of our products, and new market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. For example, as we expand our focus into new use cases or other product offerings beyond software development teams, we expect competition to increase. Pricing pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales, reduced margins, losses, or the failure of our products to achieve or maintain more widespread market acceptance, any of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

11


Many of our current and potential competitors have greater resources than we do, with established marketing relationships, large enterprise salesforces,sales forces, access to larger customer bases, pre-existing customer relationships, and major distribution agreements with consultants, system integrators and resellers. Additionally, some current and potential customers, particularly large organizations, have elected, and may in the future elect, to develop or acquire their own internal collaboration and productivity software tools that would reduce or eliminate the demand for our solutions.
Our products seek to serve multiple markets, and we are subject to competition from a wide and varied field of competitors. Some competitors, particularly new and emerging companies with sizeable venture capital investment, could focus all their energy and resources on one product line or use case and, as a result, any one competitor could develop a more successful product or service in a particular market we serve which could decrease our market share and harm our brand recognition and results of operations. For all of these reasons and others we cannot anticipate today, we may not be able to compete successfully against our current and future competitors, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our distribution model of offering and selling both cloud and on-premises offerings of certain of our products, in addition to offering and selling cloud offerings of these products, increases our expenses, may impact revenue recognition timing, and may pose other challenges to our business.
We currently offer and sell both on-premises and cloud and on-premises offerings of certain of our products. OurFor these products, our cloud offering enables quick setup and subscription pricing, while our on-premises offering permits more customization, a perpetual or term license fee structure, and complete application control. Historically, ourthese products were developed in the context of theour on-premises offering, and we have less operating experience offering and selling ourthese products via our cloud offering. Although a substantial majority of our revenue has historically been generated from customers using our on-premises products, we believe that over time more customers will move to our cloud offering, and our cloud offering will become more central to our distribution model. For example, in October 2020, we announced that beginning in February 2021, we will no longer sell new perpetual licenses for on-premises versions of our products, or upgrades to these on-premises versions of our products starting in February 2022, and plan to end maintenance and support for these on-premises versions of our products in February 2024. Additionally, we plan to offer loyalty discounts to certain of our enterprise-level on-premises customers to incentivize migration to the cloud, which may also impact our near-term revenue growth. As more of our customers transition to the cloud, we may be subject to additional competitive and pricing pressures, which maycould harm our business. Further, as more customers elect our cloud offering as opposed toin place of our on-premises offerings,offering, revenues from such customers isare typically lower in the initial year, which may impact our near-term revenue growth rates. If our cloud offering does not develop as quickly as we expect, or if we are unable to continue to scale our systems to meet the requirements of a successful large, cloud offering, or if we lose customers currently using our on-premises products due to our increased focus on our cloud offering or our inability to successfully migrate them to our cloud products, our business maycould be harmed. We are directing a significant portion of our financial and operating resources to implement a robust cloud offering for our products and to migrate our existing customers to our cloud offerings, but even if we continue to make these investments, we may be unsuccessful in growing or implementing our cloud offering that competes successfully against our current and future competitors and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.
Our business depends on our customers renewing their subscriptions and maintenance plans and purchasing additional licenses or subscriptions from us. Anyus, and any decline in our customer retention or expansion wouldcould harm our future results of operations.
In order for us to maintain or improve our results of operations, it is important that our customers renew their subscriptions and maintenance plans when existing contract terms expire and that we expand our commercial relationships with our existing customers. Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions or maintenance plans, and our customers may not renew subscriptions or maintenance plans with a similar contract periodduration or with the same or greater number of users. Our customers generally do not enter into long-term contracts, rather they primarily have monthly or annual terms. Some of our customers have elected not to renew their agreements with us and it is difficult to accurately predict long-term customer retention.

12


Our customer retention and expansion may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction with our products, new market entrants, our product support, our prices and pricing plans, the prices of competing software products, reductions in our customers’ spending levels, new product releases and changes to packaging of our product offerings, mergers and acquisitions affecting our customer base,

our increased focus on our cloud offerings, our decision to end the sale of new perpetual licenses for our products, or the effects of global economic conditions.conditions, including the impacts on us or our customers, partners and suppliers from the COVID-19 pandemic. We may be unable to timely address any retention issues with specific customers, which could harm our results of operations. If our customers do not purchase additional licenses or subscriptions or renew their subscriptions or maintenance plans, renew on less favorable terms, or fail to add more users, our revenue may decline or grow less quickly, which wouldcould harm our future results of operations and prospects.
If we are not able to develop new products and enhancements to our existing products that achieve market acceptance and that keep pace with technological developments, our business and results of operations wouldcould be harmed.
Our ability to attract new customers, and retain and increase revenue from existing customers depends in large part on our ability to enhance and improve our existing products and to introduce compelling new products that reflect the changing nature of our markets. The success of any enhancement to our products depends on several factors, including timely completion and delivery, competitive pricing, adequate quality testing, integration with existing technologies and our platform, and overall market acceptance. Any new product that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain bugs, or may not achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. If we are unable to successfully develop new products, enhance our existing products to meet customer requirements, or otherwise gain market acceptance, our business, results of operations, and financial condition wouldcould be harmed.
If we cannot continue to expand the use of our products beyond our initial focus on software developers, our ability to grow our business maycould be harmed.
Our ability to grow our business depends in part on our ability to persuade current and future customers to expand their use of our products to additional use cases beyond software developers, including business teamsIT and ITbusiness teams. If we fail to predict customer demands or achieve further market acceptance of our products within these additional areas and teams, or if a competitor establishes a more widely adopted product for these applications, our ability to grow our business maycould be harmed.
We invest significantly in research and development, and to the extent our research and development investments do not translate into new products or material enhancements to our current products, or if we do not use those investments efficiently, our business and results of operations would be harmed.
A key element of our strategy is to invest significantly in our research and development efforts to develop new products and enhance our existing products to address additional applications and markets. In fiscal 2018years 2021 and 2017,2020, our research and development expenses were 48%46% and 50%47% of our revenue, respectively. If we do not spend our research and development budget efficiently or effectively on compelling innovation and technologies, our business maycould be harmed and we may not realize the expected benefits of our strategy. Moreover, research and development projects can be technically challenging and expensive. The nature of these research and development cycles may cause us to experience delays between the time we incur expenses associated with research and development and the time we are able to offer compelling products and generate revenue, if any, from such investment. Additionally, anticipated customer demand for a product we are developing could decrease after the development cycle has commenced, and we would nonetheless be unable to avoid substantial costs associated with the development of any such product. If we expend a significant amount of resources on research and development and our efforts do not lead to the successful introduction or improvement of products that are competitive in our current or future markets, it wouldcould harm our business and results of operations.
Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business.
Our quarterly financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. If our quarterly financial results fall below the expectations of investors or any securities analysts who follow us, the price of our Class A ordinary shares could decline substantially. Factors that may cause our revenue, results of operations and cash flows to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include, but are not limited to:
Our ability to attract new customers, retain and increase sales to existing customers, and satisfy our customers’ requirements;

13


The timing of customer renewals;
Changes in our or our competitors’ pricing policies and offerings;
New products, features, enhancements, or functionalities introduced by our competitors;
The amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the operations and expansion of our business;
Significant security breaches, technical difficulties, or interruptions to our products;
Our increased focus on our cloud offerings, including customer migrations to our cloud products;
The number of new employees added;
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates or adding additional currencies in which our sales are denominated;
The amount and timing of acquisitions or other strategic transactions;
Extraordinary expenses such as litigation or other dispute-related settlement payments;
General economic conditions that may adversely affect either our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase additional licenses, subscriptions, and maintenance plans, delay a prospective customer’s purchasing decisions, reduce the value of new license, subscription, or maintenance plans, or affect customer retention;
The impact of political and social unrest, natural disasters, climate change, diseases and pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and any associated economic downturn, on our results of operations and financial performance;
Potential exchanges, redemptions and repurchases of our Notes for payment of cash;
Non-coupon impact related to the Notes and related capped call transactions;
Seasonality in our operations;
The impact of new accounting pronouncements and associated system implementations; and
The timing of the grant or vesting of equity awards to employees, contractors, or directors.
Many of these factors are outside of our control, and the occurrence of one or more of them might cause our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows to vary widely. As such, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
We have experienced and expect to continue to experience rapid growth, which has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management, operational, and financial resources. In addition, we operate globally, sell our products to customers in more than 180approximately 200 countries, and have employees in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Poland, India, Turkey, Canada, Japan, Sweden, Germany and France. We plan to continue to expand our operations into other countries in the future, which will place additional demands on our resources and operations. We have also experienced significant growth in the number of customers, users, transactions and data that our products and our associated infrastructure support. If we fail to successfully manage our anticipated growth and change, the quality of our products may suffer, which could negatively affect our brand and reputation and harm our ability to retain and attract customers. Finally, our organizational structure is becoming more complex and if we fail to scale and adapt our operational, financial, and management controls and systems, as

well as our reporting systems and procedures, to manage this complexity, our business, results of operations, and financial condition wouldcould be harmed. We will require significant capital expenditures and the allocation of management resources to grow and change in these areas.

14


We may require additional capital to support our operations or the growth of our business and we cannot be certain that we will be able to secure this capital on favorable terms, or at all.
We may require additional capital to respond to business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions, the repayment of our Notes, a decline in the level of license, subscription or maintenance revenue for our products, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, or other unforeseen circumstances. We may not be able to timely secure debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. Our current Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants and any future debt financing obtained by us could involve restrictive covenants relating to financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity, convertible debt securities or other securities convertible into equity, our existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of Atlassian, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our Class A ordinary shares. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

15


If our current marketing model is not effective in attracting new customers, we may need to incur additional expenses to attract new customers and our business and results of operations could be harmed.
Unlike traditional enterprise software vendors, who rely on direct sales methodologies and face long sales cycles, complex customer requirements and substantial upfront sales costs, we primarily utilize a viral marketing model to target new customers. Through this word-of-mouth marketing, we have been able to build our brand with relatively low marketing and sales costs. We also build our customer base through various online marketing activities as well as targeted web-based content and online communications. This strategy has allowed us to build a substantial customer base and community of users who use our products and act as advocates for our brand and solutions, often within their own corporate organizations. Attracting new customers and retaining existing customers requires that we continue to provide high-quality products at an affordable price and convince customers of our value proposition. If we do not attract new customers through word-of-mouth referrals, our revenue may grow more slowly than expected, or decline. In addition, high levels of customer satisfaction and market adoption are central to our marketing model. Any decrease in our customers’ satisfaction with our products, including as a result of actions outside of our control, could harm word-of-mouth referrals and our brand. If our customer base does not continue to grow through word-of-mouth marketing and viral adoption, we may be required to incur significantly higher marketing and sales expenses in order to acquire new subscribers, which could harm our business and results of operations.
One of our marketing strategies is to offer free trials, limited free versions or affordable starter licenses for certain products, and we may not be able to realize the benefits of this strategy.
We offer free trials, limited free versions or affordable starter licenses for certain products in order to promote additional usage, brand and product awareness, and adoption. Historically, a majority of users never convert to a paid version of our products from these free trials or limited free versions or upgrade beyond the starter license. Our marketing strategy also depends in part on persuading users who use the free trials, free versions or starter licenses of our products to convince others within their organization to purchase and deploy our products. To the extent that these users do not become, or lead others to become, customers, we will not realize the intended benefits of this marketing strategy, and our ability to grow our business could be harmed.
Our business model relies on a high volume of transactions and affordable pricing. As lower cost or free products are introduced by our competitors, our ability to generate new customers could be harmed.
Our business model is based in part on selling our products at prices lower than competing products from other commercial vendors. For example, we offer entry-level or free pricing for certain products for small teams at a price that typically does not require capital budget approval and is orders-of-magnitude less than the price of traditional enterprise software. As a result, our software is frequently purchased by first-time customers to solve specific problems and not as part of a strategic technology purchasing decision. We have historically increased, and will continue to increase, prices from time to time. As competitors enter the market with low cost or free alternatives to our products, it may become increasingly difficult for us to compete effectively and our ability to garner new customers could be harmed. Additionally, some customers may consider our products to be discretionary purchases, which may contribute to reduced demand for our offerings in times of economic uncertainty, including the current environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. If we are unable to sell our software in high volume, across new and existing customers, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
We derive a majority of our revenue from Jira Software and Confluence.
We derive a majority of our revenue from Jira Software and Confluence. As such, the market acceptance of these products is critical to our success. Demand for these products and our other products is affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, such as continued market acceptance of our products by customers for existing and new use cases, the timing of development and release of new products, features, functionality and lower cost alternatives introduced by our competitors, technological changes and developments within the markets we serve, and growth or contraction in our addressable markets. If we are unable to continue to meet customer demands or to achieve more widespread market acceptance of our products, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.
We recognize certain revenue streams over the term of our subscription and maintenance contracts. Consequently, downturns in new sales may not be immediately reflected in our results of operations and may be difficult to discern.

16


We generally recognize subscription and maintenance revenue from customers ratably over the terms of their contracts. As a result, a significant portion of the revenue we report in each quarter is derived from the recognition of deferred revenue relating to subscription and maintenance plans entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed licenses, subscriptions, and maintenance plans in any single quarter may only have a small impact on our revenue results for that quarter. However, such a decline will negatively affect our revenue in future quarters. Accordingly, the effect of significant downturns in sales and market acceptance of our products, and potential changes in our pricing policies or rate of expansion or retention, may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. For example, the impact of COVID-19 may cause customers to request concessions, including better pricing, or to slow their rate of expansion or reduce their number of licenses, which may not be reflected immediately in our results of operations. We may also be unable to reduce our cost structure in line with a significant deterioration in sales. In addition, a significant majority of our costs are expensed as incurred, while a significant portion of our revenue is recognized over the life of the agreement with our customer. As a result, increased growth in the number of our customers could continue to result in our recognition of more costs than revenue in the earlier periods of the terms of certain of our customer agreements. Our subscription and maintenance revenue also makes it more difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue through additional sales in any period, as revenue from certain new customers must be recognized over the applicable term.
Our Credit Facility and overall debt level may limit our flexibility in obtaining additional financing and in pursuing other business opportunities or operating activities.

Our Credit Facility requires compliance with various financial and non-financial covenants, including affirmative covenants relating to the provision of periodic financial statements, compliance certificates and other notices, maintenance of properties and insurance, payment of taxes and compliance with laws and negative covenants, including, among others, restrictions on the incurrence of certain indebtedness, granting of liens and mergers, dissolutions, consolidations and dispositions. The Credit Facility also provides for a number of events of default, including, among others, failure to make a payment under the Credit Facility, bankruptcy, breach of a covenant, representation or warranty, default under material indebtedness (other than the Credit Facility), change of control and judgment defaults.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we may be restricted from engaging in business or operating activities that may otherwise improve our business or from financing future operations or capital needs. Failure to comply with the covenants, including the financial covenant, if not cured or waived, will result in an event of default that could trigger acceleration of our indebtedness, which would require us to repay all amounts owing under our Credit Facility and could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Overdue amounts under the Credit Facility accrue interest at a default rate. We cannot be certain that our future operating results will be sufficient to ensure compliance with the financial covenant in our Credit Facility or to remedy any defaults. In addition, in the event of default and related acceleration, we may not have or be able to obtain sufficient funds to make the accelerated payments required under the Credit Facility.

We continue to have the ability to incur additional debt, subject to the limitations in our Credit Facility. Our level of debt could have important consequences to us, including the following:

Our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes may be impaired or such financing may not be available on favorable terms;
We may need a substantial portion of our cash flow to make principal and interest payments on our debt, reducing the funds that would otherwise be available for investment in operations and future business opportunities;
Our debt level will make us more vulnerable than our competitors with less debt to competitive pressures or a downturn in our business or the economy generally; and
Our debt level may limit our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions.

17



Our ability to service our debt will depend upon, among other things, our future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. If our operating results are not sufficient to service our current or future indebtedness, we will be forced to take actions such as reducing or delaying our business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our debt, or seeking additional equity capital or bankruptcy protection. We may not be able to effect any of these remedies on satisfactory terms to us or at all.
If the Atlassian Marketplace does not continue to be successful, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
We operate the Atlassian Marketplace, an online marketplace, for selling third-party, as well as Atlassian-built, apps. We rely on the Atlassian Marketplace to supplement our promotional efforts and build awareness of our products, and believe that third-party apps from the Atlassian Marketplace facilitate greater usage and customization of our products. If we do not continue to add new vendors and developers, are unable to sufficiently grow the number of cloud apps our customers demand, or our existing vendors and developers stop developing or supporting the apps that they sell on Atlassian Marketplace, our business could be harmed.
Our sales model does not rely primarily on a direct enterprise sales force, which could impede the growth of our business.

Our sales model does not rely primarily on traditional, quota-carrying sales personnel. Although we believe our business model can continue to scale without a large, direct enterprise sales force, our viral marketing model may not continue to be as successful as we anticipate, and the absence of a large, direct, enterprise sales function may impede our future growth. As we continue to scale our business, a more traditional sales infrastructure could assist in reaching larger enterprise customers and growing our revenue. Identifying, recruiting, training, and retaining such a qualified sales force would require significant time, expense and attention and would significantly impact our business model. In addition, expanding our sales infrastructure would considerably change our cost structure and results of operations, and we may have to reduce other expenses, such as our research and development expenses, in order to accommodate a corresponding increase in marketing and sales expenses and maintain positive free cash flow. If our lack of a large, direct enterprise sales force limits us from reaching larger enterprise customers and growing our revenue, and we are unable to hire, develop, and retain talented sales personnel in the future, our revenue growth and results of operations could be harmed.
Any failure to offer high-quality product support could harm our relationships with our customers and our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In deploying and using our products, our customers depend on our product support teams to resolve complex technical and operational issues. We may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in customer demand for product support. We also may be unable to modify the nature, scope and delivery of our product support to compete with changes in product support services provided by our competitors. Increased customer demand for product support, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and harm our results of operations. In addition, as we continue to grow our operations and reach a global and vast customer base, we must provide efficient product support that meets our customers’ needs globally at scale. The number of our customers has grown significantly, which has put additional pressure on our product support organization. In order to meet these needs, we have relied in the past and will continue to rely on third-party vendors and self-service product support to resolve common or frequently asked questions, which supplement our customer support teams. If we are unable to provide efficient product support globally at scale, including through the use of third-party vendors and self-service support, our ability to grow our operations could be harmed and we may need to hire additional support personnel, which could harm our results of operations. Our sales are highly dependent on our business reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing customers. Any failure to maintain high-quality product support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality product support, could harm our reputation, our ability to sell our products to existing and prospective customers, and our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we are unable to develop and maintain successful relationships with our solution partners, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.


18


We have established relationships with certain solution partners to distribute our products. We believe that continued growth in our business is dependent upon identifying, developing and maintaining strategic relationships with our existing and potential solution partners that can drive substantial revenue and provide additional value-added services to our customers. Currently we derive approximately forty percent of our revenue from channel partners’ sales efforts.

Successfully managing our indirect channel distribution efforts is a complex process across the broad range of geographies where we do business or plan to do business. Our solution partners are independent businesses we do not control. Notwithstanding this independence, we still face legal risk and reputational harm from the activities of our solution partners including, but not limited to, export control violations, workplace conditions, corruption and anti-competitive behavior.
Our agreements with our existing solution partners are non-exclusive, meaning they may offer customers the products of several different companies, including products that compete with ours. They may also cease marketing our products with limited or no notice and with little or no penalty. We expect that any additional solution partners we identify and develop will be similarly non-exclusive and unbound by any requirement to continue to market our products. If we fail to identify additional solution partners in a timely and cost-effective manner, or at all, or are unable to assist our current and future solution partners in independently distributing and deploying our products, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed. If our solution partners do not effectively market and sell our products, or fail to meet the needs of our customers, our reputation and ability to grow our business could also be harmed.
Many of our solution partners rely on in-person interactions to manage and build relationships with our customers. Currently, as a result of the work and travel restrictions due to COVID-19, our solution partners’ activities are being conducted largely remotely. We do not yet know the extent of the negative impact this will have on our solution partners’ ability to sell our products.
Acquisitions of, or investments in, other businesses, products, or technologies could disrupt our business, and we may be unable to integrate acquired businesses and technologies successfully or achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions.
We have completed a number of acquisitions and strategic investments and continue to evaluate and consider additional strategic transactions, including acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses, technologies, services, products, and other assets in the future. We also may enter into strategic relationships with other businesses to expand our products, which could involve preferred or exclusive licenses, additional channels of distribution, discount pricing or investments in other companies.
Any acquisition, investment or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties assimilating or integrating the businesses, technologies, products, personnel, or operations of the acquired companies, particularly if the key personnel of the acquired companies choose not to work for us, their software and services are not easily adapted to work with our products, or we have difficulty retaining the customers of any acquired business due to changes in ownership, management or otherwise. Acquisitions may also disrupt our business, divert our resources, and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for development of our existing business. We may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired technology or personnel, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition transaction, including accounting charges. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment, or business relationship may not be realized or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities.
In the future, we may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all. Our previous and future acquisitions or strategic investments may not achieve our goals, and any future acquisitions or strategic investments we complete could be viewed negatively by users, customers, developers or investors.
Negotiating these transactions can be time consuming, difficult and expensive, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and our ability to complete these transactions may often be subject to approvals that are beyond our control. Consequently, these transactions, even if announced, may not be completed. For one or more of those transactions, we may:
Issue additional equity securities that would dilute our existing shareholders;
Use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business;
Incur large charges, expenses, or substantial liabilities;

19


Incur debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to repay;
Encounter difficulties retaining key employees of the acquired company or integrating diverse software codes or business cultures; and
Become subject to adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation, impairment, or deferred compensation charges.
If we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.
We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation as a differentiated and category-defining company is critical to our relationships with our existing customers and to our ability to attract new customers. The successful promotion of our brand attributes will depend on a number of factors, including our, and our solution partners’, marketing efforts, our ability to continue to develop high-quality products, and our ability to successfully differentiate our products from competitive products. In addition, independent industry analysts often provide analyses of our products, as well as the products offered by our competitors, and perception of the relative value of our products in the marketplace may be significantly influenced by these analyses. If these analyses are negative, or less positive as compared to those of our competitors’ products, our brand may be harmed.
The promotion of our brand requires us to make substantial expenditures, and we anticipate that the expenditures will increase as our market becomes more competitive, as we expand into new markets, and as more sales are generated through our solution partners. To the extent that these activities yield increased revenue, this revenue may not offset the increased expenses we incur. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our brand, our business may not grow, we may have reduced pricing power relative to competitors, and we could lose customers or fail to attract new customers, any of which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If we fail to integrate our products with a variety of operating systems, software applications, platforms and hardware that are developed by others, our products may become less marketable, less competitive, or obsolete and our results of operations could be harmed.
Our products must integrate with a variety of network, hardware, and software platforms, and we need to continuously modify and enhance our products to adapt to changes in hardware, software, networking, browser and database technologies. In particular, we have developed our products to be able to easily integrate with third-party applications, including the applications of software providers that compete with us, through the interaction of application programming interfaces, or APIs. In general, we rely on the fact that the providers of such software systems continue to allow us access to their APIs to enable these customer integrations. To date, we have not relied on long-term written contracts to govern our relationship with these providers. Instead, we are subject to the standard terms and conditions for application developers of such providers, which govern the distribution, operation and fees of such software systems, and which are subject to change by such providers from time to time. Our business could be harmed if any provider of such software systems:
Discontinues or limits our access to its APIs;
Modifies its terms of service or other policies, including fees charged to, or other restrictions on us or other application developers;
Changes how customer information is accessed by us or our customers;
Establishes more favorable relationships with one or more of our competitors; or
Develops or otherwise favors its own competitive offerings over ours.
We believe a significant component of our value proposition to customers is the ability to optimize and configure our products with these third-party applications through our respective APIs. If we are not permitted or able to integrate with these and other third-party applications in the future, demand for our products could decline and our business and results of operations could be harmed.


20


In addition, an increasing number of organizations and individuals within organizations are utilizing mobile devices to access the Internet and corporate resources and to conduct business. We have designed and continue to design mobile applications to provide access to our products through these devices. If we cannot provide effective functionality through these mobile applications as required by organizations and individuals that widely use mobile devices, we may experience difficulty attracting and retaining customers. Failure of our products to operate effectively with future infrastructure platforms and technologies could also reduce the demand for our products, resulting in customer dissatisfaction and harm to our business. If we are unable to respond to changes in a cost-effective manner, our products may become less marketable, less competitive or obsolete and our results of operations could be harmed.
Our corporate values have contributed to our success, and if we cannot maintain these values as we grow, we could lose the innovative approach, creativity, and teamwork fostered by our values, and our business could be harmed.
We believe that a critical contributor to our success has been our corporate values, which we believe foster innovation, teamwork, and an emphasis on customer-focused results. In addition, we believe that our values create an environment that drives and perpetuates our product strategy and low-cost distribution approach. As we grow and continue to develop the infrastructure of a public company, we may find it difficult to maintain our corporate values. Any failure to preserve our values could harm our future success, including our ability to retain and recruit personnel, innovate and operate effectively, and execute on our business strategy.
Risks Related to Information Technology, Intellectual Property, and Data Security and Privacy
If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to customer data is otherwise obtained, our products may be perceived as insecure, we may lose existing customers or fail to attract new customers, and we may incur significant liabilities.
Use of our solutions involveproducts involves the storage, transmission, and processing of our customers’ proprietary data, including potentially personal or identifying information. Unauthorized access to, or security breaches of, our products could result in unauthorized access to data and information, and the loss, compromise or corruption of such data and information. In the event of a security breach, we could suffer loss of business, severe reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence, regulatory investigations and orders, litigation, indemnity obligations, damages for contract breach, penalties for violation of applicable laws or regulations, significant costs for remediation, and other liabilities. We have incurred and expect to incur significant expenses to prevent security breaches, including costs related to deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees, and engaging third-party solution providers and consultants. Our errors and omissions insurance coverage covering certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses may not be sufficient to compensate for all liabilities we may incur.
Although we expend significant resources to create security protections that shield our customer data against potential theft and security breaches, such measures cannot provide absolute security. We have in the past experienced breaches of our security measures. Certain breaches have resulted in unauthorized access to certain data processed through our products. Our products are at risk for future breaches, including, without limitation, breaches that may occur as a result of third-party action, or employee, vendor or contractor error or malfeasance, and other causes. Additionally, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our employees are temporarily working mostly remotely, which may pose additional data security risks.

As we further transition selling our products via our cloud offering, continue to collect more personal and sensitive information, and operate in more countries, the risk that real or perceived vulnerabilities of our systems could seriously harm our business and our financial performance, by tarnishing our reputation and brand and limiting the adoption of our products, is likely to increase.
Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. We may also experience security breaches that may remain undetected for an extended period and, therefore, have a greater impact on the products we offer, the proprietary data processed through our services, and, ultimately, on our business.


One of our marketing strategies is to offer free trials or a limited free version or affordable starter license for certain products, and we may not be able to realize the benefits of this strategy.

We offer free trials, a limited free version or an affordable starter license for certain products in order to promote additional usage, brand and product awareness and adoption. Historically, a majority of users never convert to a paid version of our products from these free trials or limited free versions or upgrade beyond the starter license. Our marketing strategy also depends in part on persuading users who use the free trials, free versions or starter licenses of our products to convince others within their organization to purchase and deploy our products. To the extent that these users do not become, or lead others to become, customers, we will not realize the intended benefits of this marketing strategy, and our ability to grow our business may be harmed.21

Our business model relies on a high volume of transactions and affordable pricing. As lower cost or free products are introduced by our competitors, our ability to generate new customers could be harmed.

Our business model is based in part on selling our products at prices lower than competing products from other commercial vendors. For example, we offer entry-level pricing for certain products for small teams at a price that typically does not require capital budget approval and is orders-of-magnitude less than the price of traditional enterprise software. As a result, our software is frequently purchased by first-time customers to solve specific problems and not as part of a strategic technology purchasing decision. As competitors enter the market with low cost or free alternatives to our products, it may become increasingly difficult for us to compete effectively and our ability to garner new customers could be harmed. We have historically, and will continue to increase prices from time to time. Additionally, some customers may consider our products to be discretionary purchases, which may contribute to reduced demand for our offerings in times of economic uncertainty. If we are unable to sell our software in high volume, across new and existing customers, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
We derive, and expect to continue to derive, a substantial majority of our revenue from a limited number of software products.
We derive, and expect to continue to derive, a substantial majority of our revenue from our Jira and Confluence products. Revenue generated from our Jira and Confluence products comprised over two-thirds of our total revenues for each of the prior three fiscal years. As such, the market acceptance of these products is critical to our success. Demand for these products and our other products is affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, such as continued market acceptance of our products by customers for existing and new use cases, the timing of development and release of new products, features, functionality and lower cost alternatives introduced by our competitors, technological changes and developments within the markets we serve and growth or contraction in our addressable markets. If we are unable to continue to meet customer demands or to achieve more widespread market acceptance of our products, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
If the Atlassian Marketplace does not continue to be successful, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
We operate Atlassian Marketplace, an online marketplace, for selling third-party, as well as Atlassian-built, apps. We rely on the Atlassian Marketplace to supplement our promotional efforts and build awareness of our products, and believe that third-party apps from the Atlassian Marketplace facilitate greater usage and customization of our products. If these vendors and developers stop developing or supporting these apps that they sell on Atlassian Marketplace, our business could be harmed.
Interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure maycould harm our business and results of operations.
Our continued growth depends in part on the ability of our existing and potential customers to access our solutions at any time and within an acceptable amount of time. In addition, we rely almost exclusively on our websites for the downloading of, and payment for, all our products. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, disruptions, data loss and corruption, outages and other performance problems with our infrastructure and websites due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, introductions of new functionality, human or software errors, capacity constraints, denial of service attacks, or other security-related incidents. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these performance problems within an acceptable period of time. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our performance, especially during peak usage times and as our products and websites become more complex and our user traffic increases. If our products and websites are unavailable or if our users are unable to access our products within a reasonable amount of time,

or at all, our business wouldcould be harmed. Moreover, we provide service level commitments under certain of our paid customer cloud contracts, pursuant to which we commit to specified minimum availability. From time to time, we have granted, and in the future will continue to grant, credits to paid customers pursuant to the terms of these agreements in the event of certain levels of unavailability, or downtime. If we fail to meet these contractual commitments, we could be obligated to provide credits for future service, or face contract termination with refunds of prepaid amounts related to unused subscriptions, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Additionally, we depend on services from various third parties, including Amazon Web Services, to maintain our infrastructure and distribute our products via the Internet. Any disruptions in these services, including as a result of actions outside of our control, would significantly impact the continued performance of our products. In the future, these services may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any of these services could result in decreased functionality of our products until equivalent technology is either developed by us or, if available from another provider, is identified, obtained and integrated into our infrastructure. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed, and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
Real or perceived errors, failures, vulnerabilities or bugs in our products or in the products on Atlassian Marketplace could harm our business and results of operations.
Errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs may occur in our products, especially when updates are deployed or new products are rolled out. Our solutions are often used in connection with large-scale computing environments with different operating systems, system management software, equipment, and networking configurations, which may cause errors, failures of products, or other negative consequences in the computing environment into which they are deployed. In addition, deployment of our products into complicated, large-scale computing environments may expose errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs in our products. Any such errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs may not be found until after they are deployed to our customers. Real or perceived errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs in our products could result in negative publicity, loss or unauthorized access to customer data, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position, or claims by customers for losses sustained by them, all of which could harm our business and results of operations.
In addition, third-party apps on Atlassian Marketplace may not meet the same quality standards that we apply to our own development efforts and, to the extent theythese apps contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or defects, theysuch apps may create disruptions in our customers’ use of our products, lead to data loss or unauthorized access to customer data, damage our brand and reputation, and affect the continued use of our products, any of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Any failure to offer high-quality product support may harm our relationships with our customers and our financial results.
In deploying and using our products, our customers depend on our product support teams to resolve complex technical and operational issues. We may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in customer demand for product support. We also may be unable to modify the nature, scope and delivery of our product support to compete with changes in product support services provided by our competitors. Increased customer demand for product support, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and harm our results of operations. In addition, as we continue to grow our operations and reach a global and vast customer base, we need to be able to provide efficient product support that meets our customers’ needs globally at scale. The number of our customers has grown significantly and that has put additional pressure on our support organization. In order to meet these needs, we have relied in the past and will continue to rely on third-party vendors and self-service product support to resolve common or frequently asked questions, which supplement our customer support teams. If we are unable to provide efficient product support globally at scale, including through the use of third-party vendors and self-service support, our ability to grow our operations may be harmed and we may need to hire additional support personnel, which could harm our results of operations. Our sales are highly dependent on our business reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing customers. Any failure to maintain high-quality product support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality product support, could harm our reputation, our ability to sell our products to existing and prospective customers, and our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our lack of a direct salesforce may impede the growth of our business.
We do not have a direct, traditional salesforce and our sales model does not rely on traditional, quota-carrying sales personnel. Although we believe our business model can continue to scale without a large enterprise salesforce, our viral marketing model may not continue to be as successful as we anticipate and the absence of a direct, traditional sales function may impede our future growth. As we continue to scale our business, a more traditional sales infrastructure could assist in reaching larger enterprise customers and growing our revenue. Identifying and recruiting qualified sales personnel and training them would require significant time, expense and attention and would significantly impact our business model. In addition, adding traditional sales personnel would

considerably change our cost structure and results of operations, and we may have to reduce other expenses, such as our research and development expenses, in order to accommodate a corresponding increase in marketing and sales expenses and maintain positive free cash flow. If our lack of a direct, traditional salesforce limits us from reaching larger enterprise customers and growing our revenue and we are unable to hire, develop and retain talented sales personnel in the future, our revenue growth and results of operations may be harmed.
Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business.
Our quarterly financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. If our quarterly financial results fall below the expectations of investors or any securities analysts who follow us, the price of our Class A ordinary shares could decline substantially. Factors that may cause our revenue, results of operations and cash flows to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include, but are not limited to:
our ability to attract new customers, retain and increase sales to existing customers, and satisfy our customers’ requirements;
the timing of customer renewals;
changes in our or our competitors’ pricing policies and offerings;
new products, features, enhancements or functionalities introduced by our competitors;
the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the operations and expansion of our business;
significant security breaches, technical difficulties or interruptions to our products;
the number of new employees added;
changes in foreign currency exchange rates or adding additional currencies in which our sales are denominated;
the amount and timing of acquisitions or other strategic transactions;
extraordinary expenses such as litigation or other dispute-related settlement payments;
general economic conditions that may adversely affect either our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase additional licenses, subscriptions and maintenance plans, delay a prospective customer’s purchasing decision, reduce the value of new license, subscription or maintenance plans or affect customer retention;
seasonality in our operations;
the impact of new accounting pronouncements and associated system implementations; and
the timing of the grant or vesting of equity awards to employees, contractors, or directors.
Many of these factors are outside of our control, and the occurrence of one or more of them might cause our revenue, results of operations and cash flows to vary widely. As such, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue, results of operations and cash flows may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
If we are unable to develop and maintain successful relationships with our partners, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
We have established relationships with certain partners to distribute our products. We believe that continued growth in our business is dependent upon identifying, developing and maintaining strategic relationships with our existing and potential solution partners that can drive substantial revenue and provide additional valued-added services to our customers. Our agreements with our existing solution partners are non-exclusive, meaning our solution partners may offer customers the products of several different companies, including products that compete with ours. They may also cease marketing our products with limited or no notice and with little or no penalty. We expect that any additional solution partners we identify and develop will be similarly non-exclusive and not bound by any requirement to continue to market our products. If we fail to identify additional solution partners, in a timely and cost-effective manner, or at all, or are unable to assist our current and future solution partners in independently distributing and deploying our products, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed. If our solution partners do not effectively market and sell our products, or fail to meet the needs of our customers, our reputation and ability to grow our business may also be harmed.

Acquisitions of other businesses, products or technologies could disrupt our business, and we may be unable to integrate acquired businesses and technologies successfully or achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions.
We have completed a number of acquisitions and continue to evaluate and consider additional strategic transactions, including acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses, technologies, services, products, and other assets in the future. We also may enter into relationships with other businesses to expand our products, which could involve preferred or exclusive licenses, additional channels of distribution, discount pricing or investments in other companies.
Any acquisition, investment or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties assimilating or integrating the businesses, technologies, products, personnel or operations of the acquired companies, particularly if the key personnel of the acquired companies choose not to work for us, their software and services are not easily adapted to work with our products, or we have difficulty retaining the customers of any acquired business due to changes in ownership, management or otherwise. Acquisitions may also disrupt our business, divert our resources and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for development of our existing business. We may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired technology or personnel, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition transaction, including accounting charges. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment or business relationship may not be realized or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities.
In the future, we may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all. Our previous and future acquisitions may not achieve our goals, and any future acquisitions we complete could be viewed negatively by users, customers, developers or investors.
Negotiating these transactions can be time consuming, difficult and expensive, and our ability to complete these transactions may often be subject to approvals that are beyond our control. Consequently, these transactions, even if announced, may not be completed. For one or more of those transactions, we may:
issue additional equity securities that would dilute our existing shareholders;
use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business;
incur large charges, expenses or substantial liabilities;
incur debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to repay;
encounter difficulties retaining key employees of the acquired company or integrating diverse software codes or business cultures; and
become subject to adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation, impairment or deferred compensation charges.
If we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be harmed.
We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation as a differentiated and category-defining company is critical to our relationships with our existing customers and to our ability to attract new customers. The successful promotion of our brand attributes will depend on a number of factors, including our, and our partners’, marketing efforts, our ability to continue to develop high-quality products and our ability to successfully differentiate our products from competitive products. In addition, independent industry analysts often provide reviews of our products, as well as the products offered by our competitors, and perception of the relative value of our products in the marketplace may be significantly influenced by these reviews. If these reviews are negative, or less positive as compared to those of our competitors’ products, our brand may be harmed.
The promotion of our brand requires us to make substantial expenditures, and we anticipate that the expenditures will increase as our market becomes more competitive, as we expand into new markets, and as more sales are generated through our partners. To the extent that these activities yield increased revenue, this revenue may not offset the increased expenses we incur. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our brand, our business may not grow, we may have reduced pricing power relative to competitors, and we could lose customers or fail to attract potential customers, any of which would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Because our products rely on the movement of data across national boundaries, global privacy and data security concerns could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our products globally.
Privacy and data security have become significant issues in the United States, Europe and in many other jurisdictions where we offer our products. The regulatory framework for the collection, use, safeguarding, sharing, and transfer of information worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future.


22


Globally, virtually every jurisdiction in which we operate has established its own data security and privacy frameworks with which we, or our customers, must comply, including, for example, in the European Union, Directive 95/46/EC on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, along with applicable implementing data protection legislation of individual European Union member states.

In addition, datacomply. Data protection regulation is an area of increased focus and changing requirements. On April 27, 2016, the European Union (“EU”) adopted the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, or GDPR, that took effect on May 25, 2018, replacing the currentprior data protection laws of each European UnionEU member state. GDPR applies to any company established in the European UnionEconomic Area (“EEA”) as well as to those outside the European UnionEEA if they collect and use personal data in connection with the offering of goods or services to individuals in the European UnionEEA or the monitoring of their behavior. GDPR enhances data protection obligations for processors and controllers of personal data, including, for example, expanded disclosures about how personal information is to be used, limitations on retention of information, mandatory data breach notification requirements, and extensive new obligations on services providers. GDPR prohibits the transfer of personal data outside of the EEA to a third country or international organization outside the EEA, unless one of a number of adequate safeguards is satisfied. Interpretation and enforcement of GDPR remains uncertain. For example, on May 25, 2018, Max Schrems filed complaints with several data protection authorities throughout the European Union against Google, Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook, challenging their respective compliance with disclosure and consent obligations under Article 77(1) of GDPR. The outcome of these and any other challenges under GDPR could result in guidance that requires changes to our current compliance strategy. Non-compliance with GDPR can trigger steep fines of up to €20 million or 4%four percent of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. GivenFollowing the breadthexit of the United Kingdom from the EU and depththe end of changes inthe transition period on December 31, 2020, UK GDPR (alongside other UK domestic data protection obligations, complying with GDPR’s requirements requires time, resourceslegislation) governs the processing of personal data from individuals located in the UK. Similar regulations have also come into effect and a review of our technology and systems currently in use against GDPR’s requirements.been proposed around the world.


We currently rely on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission (“EC”) pursuant to the EC's decision (C(2010)593) of February 5, 2010 ("Current SCCs") as our legal basesmechanism for onward transfers of personal data transfers from Europe. Thefrom: (i) the EEA; and (ii) the UK, to third countries outside the EEA (including the U.S.). On July 16, 2020, the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program underwent its first annual review by European Union regulatory authorities in September 2017 and received approval from the European Union as a valid framework for transferring data from the European Union to the United States. Nonetheless, the review reported a number of recommendations for improvement in the program before the next annual review, and there continue to be concerns about whether the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and other transfer mechanisms will face additional challenges. Similarly, the validity of standard contractual clauses is currently under reviewwas invalidated by the European Court of Justice.Justice as a framework for transferring personal data from the EEA to the United States in Data Protection Commissioner v. Facebook Ireland Limited and Maximillian Schrems(“Schrems”). As a result of Schrems, we can no longer rely on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield for these transfers, and our exclusive transfer mechanism is the Current SCCs. In Schrems, while the court upheld the Current SCCs as a valid mechanism to transfer personal data to third countries, the validity was conditional on there being effective mechanisms in place which ensure that personal data originating in the EEA always carries with it protections that are essentially equivalent to those in the EEA.

On June 4, 2021, the EC published a new set of standard contractual clauses for data transfers between the EEA and third countries outside the EEA (the "New EU SCCs") which principally included updates to take account of the GDPR and Schrems. These will replace the Current SCCs and it is mandatory for organizations to implement and comply with the New EU SCCs. Organizations have a grace period in which to do so - i.e. until (i) September 2021 to continue to put in place the Current SCCs; and (ii) December 2022 to implement the New EU SCCs. The New EU SCCs include provisions and a warranty around the “supplementary measures” required regarding international data transfers as result of the Schrems judgment.

On June 18, 2021, the European Data Protection Board ("EDPB") issued its finalized guidance on the “supplementary measures” to assist data exporters using standard contractual clauses with undertaking sufficient due diligence to ensure compliance with the level of protection required by the EEA. In particular, a transfer-by-transfer review should be conducted to understand the context of each arrangement, as well as mapping data flows to processors and all onward transfers, and an assessment of the adequacy of the destination country, taking into account the publicly available legislation of that country, as well as the practices in that country and the data importer's practical experience in that country. This is a resource heavy and time-consuming exercise for both data exporter and data importer.

The UK is no longer an EU member state. While the UK GDPR effectively mirrors the EU regime, any significant deviations, including in respect of international data transfers, could give rise to a more extensive compliance burden for organizations operating across both an EU and UK footprint, with the need to comply with two potentially different (or conflicting) regimes in parallel. On June 28, 2021 the EC adopted two adequacy decisions confirming the UK as an adequate jurisdiction for GDPR and Law Enforcement Directive purposes, on the basis that it ensures an essentially equivalent level of data protection to that guaranteed under EU legislation. While this means that organizations do not need to put in place additional transfer mechanisms to legitimize the transfer of data from the EEA to the UK, the adequacy decisions also included significant safeguards. Therefore, the UK would need to ensure that any divergence from EU legislation is sufficiently protective to continue to benefit from these adequacy decisions.

Standard contract clauses and other international data transfer mechanisms will continue to evolve and face additional scrutiny across the EU and the UK. In order to diversify our data transfer strategy and in particular in light of Schrems, the New EU SCCs and any divergence from the current UK data protection regime, we continue to update our data protection compliance strategy accordingly and will continue to explore other options to find additional legal bases for managing data transfers from Europe, including without limitation, conducting (or assisting data exporters in conducting) assessments and due diligence of the related data flows and destination countries across our supply chain and customer base, re-evaluating and amending standardour contractual clausesand organizational arrangements (including the Current SCCs), where required, incorporating additional technical security measures, and considering suppliers that house data in Europe, which may involve substantial expense and distraction from other aspects of our business. We may, however, be

To the extent we are unsuccessful in establishing an adequate mechanism for international data transfers or do not comply with the regulatory requirements in respect of international transfers of data, there is a legal basis forrisk that any of our data transfer, and willtransfers could be halted or limited. In addition, we could be at risk of enforcement actionsaction taken by a European Unionan EU or UK data protection authority including regulatory action, significant fines and penalties (or potential contractual liabilities) until such point in time that we ensure a legal basisan adequate mechanism for EuropeanEU and UK data transfers whichis in place. This could damage our reputation, inhibit sales and harm our business. Despite actions we have taken

Additionally, in the United States, various laws and regulations apply to the collection, processing, disclosure and security of certain types of data, including the Federal Trade Commission Act, and state equivalents, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and various state laws relating to privacy and data security, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). As such, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), many state attorneys general, and many courts interpret the various existing federal and state data privacy and consumer protection laws, and therefore enforce various standards for the collection, disclosure, process, use, storage and security of data, including personal information. The CCPA, which took effect on January 1, 2020, created new individual privacy rights for California residents, and places increased data privacy and security obligations on entities handling certain personal data of California consumers and households. The CCPA requires covered companies to provide new disclosures to consumers about such companies’ data collection, use and sharing practices, provide such consumers with expanded rights to access and delete their personal data and to opt-out of certain sales or will be takingtransfers of personal data. Aspects of the CCPA and its interpretation and enforcement remain unclear. We cannot fully predict the impact of the CCPA on our business or operations, but it may require us to diversifymodify our data transfer strategies, we may be unsuccessfulprocessing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in establishingan effort to comply. Record-breaking enforcement actions globally have shown that regulators do wield their right to impose substantial fines for violations of privacy regulations, and these enforcement actions could result in guidance from regulators that would require changes to our current compliance strategy. Given the breadth and depth of changes in data protection obligations, complying with global data protection requirements requires time, resources, and a conforming meansreview of transferringour technology and systems currently in use against regulatory requirements.

In the United States, both Congress and state legislatures, along with federal regulatory authorities, have continued to increase their attention on the collection and use of data due to ongoingabout individuals. Although data privacy legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Congress, despite significant legislative activity, thatto date there has not been any significant successful effort at enacting any such legislation; nevertheless in the event of any such legislation, it would create additional regulatory and compliance obligations, legal risk exposure, and could varysignificantly impact Atlassian’s business activities. In California, the currentCalifornia Privacy Rights Act (the “CPRA”) was voted into law by ballot measure in November 2020, which will take effect on January 1, 2023. The CPRA significantly modifies the CCPA, including by imposing additional data transfer landscape. As we expand intoprivacy and protection obligations on covered companies and expanding consumer rights with respect to certain sensitive personal data. It will also create a new marketsCalifornia data protection agency specifically tasked to enforce the law, which will likely result in increased regulatory scrutiny covered business in the areas of data protection and grow our customer base, we will need to comply with any new requirements. If we cannot comply with, or if we incur a violation of one or more of these requirements, some customers may be limited in their ability to purchase our products, particularly our cloud products. Growth could be harmed and we could incur significant liabilities.security.


In addition to government regulation, privacy advocates and industry groups may propose new and different self-regulatory standards that either legally or contractually apply to us. Further, our customers may require us to comply with more stringent privacy and data security contractual requirements or obtain certifications that we do not currently have, and any failure to obtain these certifications could reduce the demand for our products and our business maycould be harmed. If we were required to obtain additional industry certifications, we may incur significant additional expenses and have to divert resources, which could slow the release of new products, all of which could harm our ability to effectively compete.



24


The interpretation and application of many privacy and data protection laws are, and will likely remain, uncertain, and it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data management practices or product features. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits and other claims and penalties, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our products, which could harm our business. Any inability to adequately address privacy and data security concerns or comply with applicable privacy or data security laws, regulations and policies could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales, and harm our business.

We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement or misappropriation of their intellectual property rights.
There is considerable patent and other intellectual property development activity in our industry. Our future success depends in part on not infringing upon or misappropriating the intellectual property rights of others. We have received, and may receive in the future, communications and lawsuits from third parties, including practicing entities and non-practicing entities, claiming that we are infringing upon or misappropriating their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to be infringing upon or misappropriating such rights. We may be unaware of the intellectual property rights of others that may cover some or all of our technology, or technology that we obtain from third parties. Any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty or license payments, prevent us from offering our products or using certain technologies, require us to implement expensive work-arounds, refund fees to customers or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. In the case of infringement or misappropriation caused by technology that we obtain from third parties, any indemnification or other contractual protections we obtain from such third parties, if any, may be insufficient to cover the liabilities we incur as a result of such infringement or misappropriation. We may also be obligated to indemnify our customers or business partners in connection with any such claims or litigation and to obtain licenses, modify our products or refund fees, which could further exhaust our resources. Even if we were to prevail in the event of claims or litigation against us, any claim or litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and other employees from our business operations and disrupt our business.
Indemnity provisions in various agreements potentially expose us to substantial liability for intellectual property infringement and other losses.
Our global operations subjectagreements with customers and other third parties may include indemnification or other provisions under which we agree to indemnify or otherwise be liable to them for losses suffered or incurred as a result of claims of intellectual property infringement, damages caused by us to risks that canproperty or persons, or other liabilities relating to or arising from our products or other acts or omissions. The term of these contractual provisions often survives termination or expiration of the applicable agreement. Large indemnity payments or damage claims from contractual breach could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
A key element of Although we generally contractually limit our strategy isliability with respect to operate globally and sell our products to customers around the world. Operating globally requires significant resources and management attention and subjects us to regulatory, economic, geographic and political risks. In particular, our global operations subject us to a variety of additional risks and challenges, including:
increased management, travel, infrastructure and legal compliance costs associated with having operations in many countries;
difficulties in enforcing contracts, including so-called “clickwrap” contracts that are entered into online, on whichsuch obligations, we have historically relied as part of our product licensing strategy, but which may be subject to additional legal uncertainty in some foreign jurisdictions;
increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;
requirements or preferences within other regions for domestic products, and difficulties in replacing products offered by more established or known regional competitors;
differing technical standards, existing or future regulatory and certification requirements and required features and functionality;
communication and integration problemsstill incur substantial liability related to entering and serving new marketsthem. Any dispute with different languages, cultures and political systems;
compliancea customer with foreign privacy and security laws and regulations and the risks and costs of non-compliance;
compliance with laws and regulations for foreign operations, including anti-bribery laws (such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.S. Travel Act, and the U.K. Bribery Act), import and export control laws, tariffs, trade barriers, economic sanctions, and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our abilityrespect to sell our products in certain foreign markets, and the risks and costs of non-compliance;
heightened risks of unfair or corrupt business practices in certain geographies that may impact our financial results and result in restatements of our consolidated financial statements;
fluctuations in currency exchange rates and relatedsuch obligations could have adverse effects on our results of operations;
difficulties in repatriating or transferring funds from or converting currencies in certain countries;
weak economic conditions which could arise in each country or region in which we operate or sellrelationship with that customer and other current and prospective customers, reduce demand for our products, or general politicaldamage our reputation and economic instability around the world;
differing labor standards, including restrictions related to, and the increased cost of, terminating employees in some countries;
difficulties in recruiting and hiring employees in certain countries;
the preference for localized software and licensing programs and localized language support;
reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries and practical difficulties associated with enforcing our legal rights abroad; and
compliance with the laws of numerous foreign taxing jurisdictions, including withholding obligations, and overlapping of different tax regimes.
Compliance with laws and regulations applicable to our global operations substantially increases our cost of doing business in foreign jurisdictions. We may be unable to keep current with changes in government requirements as they change from time to time. Failure to comply with these regulations could harm our business. In many countries, it is common for others to engage in business practices that are prohibited by our internal policies and procedures or other regulations applicable to us. Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws and policies, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, contractors, partners and agents will comply with these laws and policies. Violations of laws or key control policies by our employees, contractors, partners or agents could result in delays in revenue recognition, financial reporting misstatements, enforcement actions, reputational harm, disgorgement of profits, fines, civil and

criminal penalties, damages, injunctions, other collateral consequences or the prohibition of the importation or exportation of our products and could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We depend onuse open source software in our executive officers and other key employees and the loss of oneproducts that may subject our products to general release or more of these employees or the inabilityrequire us to attract and retain highly skilled employeesre-engineer our products, which could harm our business.
Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our executive officers and key employees. We rely on our leadership team and other key employees in the areas of research and development, products, strategy, operations, security, marketing, IT, support and general and administrative functions. From time to time, there may be changesuse open source software in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. In addition, we do not have employment agreements with our executive officers or other key personnel that require them to continue to work for us for any specified periodproducts and therefore, they could terminate their employment with us at any time. The loss of one or more of our executive officers, especially our Co-Chief Executive Officers, or other key employees could harm our business.
In addition, in order to execute our growth plan, we must attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for these personnel in Sydney, Australia, the San Francisco Bay Area, and in other locations where we maintain offices, is intense, especially for engineers experienced in designing and developing software and cloud-based services. We have from time to time experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty hiringuse open source software in the future. There are uncertainties regarding the proper interpretation of and retaining employeescompliance with appropriate qualifications.open source software licenses. Consequently, there is a risk that the owners of the copyrights in such open source software may claim that the open source licenses governing their use impose certain conditions or restrictions on our ability to use the software that we did not anticipate. Such owners may seek to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license, including by demanding release of the source code for the open source software, derivative works of such software, or, in some cases, our proprietary source code that uses or was developed using such open source software. These claims could also result in litigation, require us to purchase a costly license or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our products, any of which could result in additional cost and liability to us, reputational damage and harm to our business and results of operations. In particular, recruiting and hiring senior product engineering personnel has been, andaddition, if the license terms for the open source software we expect to continue to be, challenging. If we are unable to hire talented product engineering personnel,utilize change, we may be unableforced to scalere-engineer our operationsproducts or release newincur additional costs to comply with the changed license terms or to replace the affected open source software. Although we have implemented policies and tools to regulate the use and incorporation of open source software into our products, we cannot be certain that we have not incorporated open source software in our products in a timely fashionmanner that is inconsistent with such policies.

Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and asour brand.
Our success and ability to compete depend in part upon our intellectual property. We primarily rely on a result, customer satisfactioncombination of patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our productsemployees, customers, business partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may decline.be inadequate. We make business decisions about when to seek patent protection for a particular technology and when to rely upon trade secret protection, and the approach we select may ultimately prove to be inadequate. Even in cases where we seek patent protection, there is no assurance that the resulting patents will effectively protect every significant feature of our products. In addition, we believe that the protection of our trademark rights is an important factor in product recognition, protecting our brand and maintaining goodwill and if we do not adequately protect our rights in our trademarks from infringement, any goodwill that we have developed in those trademarks could be lost or impaired, which could harm our brand and our business. In any event, in order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights.
ManyFor example, in order to promote the transparency and adoption of our downloadable software, we provide our customers with the ability to request a copy of the companiessource code of those products, which they may customize for their internal use under limited license terms, subject to confidentiality and use restrictions. If any of our customers misuses or distributes our source code in violation of our agreements with them, or anyone else obtains access to our source code, it could cost us significant time and resources to enforce our rights and remediate any resulting competitive harms.
Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time consuming and distracting to management. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights, which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. If we hire employees from competitorscould result in the impairment or other companies, these employersloss of portions of our intellectual property rights. Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our brand and our business.
Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory, Accounting, and Tax Matters
Our global operations and structure subject us to potentially adverse tax consequences.
We generally conduct our global operations through subsidiaries and report our taxable income in various jurisdictions worldwide based upon our business operations in those jurisdictions. A change in our global operations or changes in tax laws or interpretations of such tax laws could result in higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows and lower overall profitability. In particular, our intercompany relationships are subject to complex transfer pricing regulations administered by taxing authorities in various jurisdictions. The relevant revenue and taxing authorities may attempt to assert that the employees ordisagree with positions we have breached certain legal obligations, resulting in a diversion oftaken generally, or our time and resources. In addition, job candidates and existing employees often considerdeterminations as to the value of assets sold or acquired, or income and expenses attributable to specific jurisdictions. In addition, in the equity awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the value or perceived valueordinary course of our equity awards declines, it maybusiness we are subject to tax audits from various taxing authorities. If such a disagreement were to occur, and our position was not sustained, or if a tax audit resulted in an adverse finding, we could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties, which could result in one-time tax charges, higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows and lower overall profitability of our operations.

Certain government agencies in jurisdictions where we do business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational companies. In addition, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) continues to introduce various proposals changing the way tax is assessed, collected and governed. Of note are the efforts around the base erosion and profit shifting which seek to establish certain international standards for taxing the worldwide income of multinational companies. These measures have been endorsed by the leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies.

The EU has established a mandate that focuses on the transparency of cross-border arrangements concerning at least one EU member state through mandatory disclosure and exchange of cross-border arrangements rules. These regulations (known as DAC 6) require taxpayers to disclose certain transactions to the tax authorities resulting in an additional layer of compliance and require careful consideration of the tax benefits obtained when entering into transactions that need to be disclosed. Following the United Kingdom's exit from the EU, the rules as applicable in the UK have been significantly narrowed in scope. The rules that remain are intended now to align with the OECD's mandatory disclosure rules. This should reduce the number of genuine commercial transactions that are classified as reportable in the UK.

Also, in March 2018, the EC proposed a series of measures aimed at ensuring a fair and efficient taxation of digital businesses operating within the EU. As collaborative efforts by the OECD and EC continue, some countries have unilaterally moved to introduce their own digital service tax or equalization levy to capture tax revenue on digital services more immediately. Notably France, Italy, Austria, Spain, the United Kingdom, Turkey and India have enacted this tax, generally 2% on taxable activities.

As a result of the above measures and the increasing focus by government taxing authorities on multinational companies, the tax laws of certain countries in which we do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and any such changes could increase our liabilities for taxes, interest and penalties, lead to higher effective tax rates, and therefore could harm our ability to recruit and retain highly skilled employees. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business,cash flows, results of operations and financial conditionposition.
U.S. federal income tax reform could adversely affect us.
On December 22, 2017, the United States passed legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) that significantly reforms the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Tax Act, among other things, includes changes to U.S. federal tax rates, imposes significant additional limitations on the deductibility of interest and executive compensation, allows for the expensing of capital expenditures and puts into effect the migration from a worldwide system of taxation to a territorial system. We do not expect the Tax Act to have a material impact to our projection of minimal cash taxes. However, the full impact of this tax reform on our business in future years is still uncertain and could adversely affect us. In addition, future changes to U.S. tax laws may adversely impact our effective tax rate, cash flows and overall profitability.

Taxing authorities may successfully assert that we should have collected or in the future should collect sales and use, value-added or similar taxes, and we could be harmed.
Our corporate values have contributedsubject to our success, and if we cannot maintain these values as we grow, we could lose the innovative approach, creativity and teamwork fostered by our values and our business could be harmed.
We believe that a critical contributorliability with respect to our success has been our corporate values,past or future sales, which we believe foster innovation, teamwork and an emphasis on customer-focused results. In addition, we believe that our values create an environment that drives and perpetuates our product strategy and low-cost distribution approach. As we grow and develop the infrastructure of a public company, we may find it difficult to maintain our corporate values. Any failure to preserve our values could harm our future success, including our ability to retainresults of operations.

We do not collect sales and recruit personnel, innovateuse, value-added and operate effectively and executesimilar taxes in all jurisdictions in which we have sales, based on our business strategy.understanding that such taxes are not applicable. Sales and use, value-added and similar tax laws and rates vary greatly by jurisdiction. Certain jurisdictions in which we do not collect such taxes may assert that such taxes are applicable, which could result in tax assessments, penalties, and interest, and we may be required to collect such taxes in the future. Such tax assessments, penalties and interest, or future requirements could harm our results of operations.
We face exposure to foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations.
While we currentlyprimarily sell our products exclusively in U.S. dollars, we incur expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which exposes us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. A large percentage of our expenses are denominated in the Australian dollar, and fluctuations could have a material negative impact on our results of operations. Moreover, our subsidiaries, other than our U.S. subsidiaries, maintain net assets that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In addition, in the near future, we planrecently began to transact in non-U.S. dollar currencies for our products, and, accordingly, future changes in the value of non-U.S. dollar currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could affect our revenue and results of operations due to transactional and translational remeasurements that are reflected in our results of operations.
We have a foreign exchange hedging program to hedge a portion of certain exposures to fluctuations in non-U.S. dollar currency exchange rates. We use derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, to hedge the exposures. The use of such hedging instruments may not fully offset the adverse financial effects of unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates over the limited time the hedges are in place. Moreover, the use of hedging instruments may introduce additional risks if we are unable to structure effective hedges with such instruments or if we are unable to forecast hedged exposures accurately.

In addition, our Credit Facility has a floating interest rate that is based on variable and unpredictable U.S. and international economic risks and uncertainties and an increase in interest rates may negatively impact our financial results. We enter into interest rate hedging transactions that reduce, but do not eliminate, the impact of unfavorable changes in interest rates. We attempt to minimize credit exposure by limiting counterparties to internationally recognized financial institutions, but even these counterparties are subject to default and contract risk and this risk is beyond our control. There is no guarantee that our hedging efforts will be effective or, if effective in one period will continue to remain effective in future periods.

Our Credit Facility utilizes London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to calculate the amount of accrued interest on any borrowings. Regulators in certain jurisdictions including the United Kingdom and the United States have announced the desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. The transition from LIBOR to a new replacement benchmark is uncertain at this time and the consequences of such developments cannot be entirely predicted, but could result in an increase in the cost of our borrowings under our existing Credit Facility and any future borrowings.
We are subject to government regulation, including import, export, economic sanctions, and anti-corruption laws and regulations, that may expose us to liability and increase our costs.
Various of our products are subject to U.S. export controls, including the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Export Administration Regulations and economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Controls. These regulations may limit the export of our products and provision of our services outside of the United States, or may require export authorizations, including by license, a license exception, or other appropriate government authorizations, including annual or semi-annual reporting and the filing of an encryption registration. Export control and economic sanctions laws may also include prohibitions on the sale or supply of certain of our products to embargoed or sanctioned countries, regions, governments, persons and entities. In addition, various countries regulate the importation of certain products through import permitting and licensing requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to distribute our products. The exportation, reexportation, and importation of our products, and the provision of services, including by our channelsolution partners, must comply with these laws or else we may be adversely affected through reputational harm, government investigations, penalties, and a denial or curtailment of our ability to export our products or provide services. Complying with export control and sanctions laws can be time consuming and complex and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities. Although we take precautions to prevent our products from being provided in violation of such laws, we are aware of previous exports of certain of our products to a small number of persons and organizations that are the subject of U.S. sanctions or located in countries or regions subject to U.S. sanctions. If we are found to be in violation of U.S. sanctions or export control laws, it could result in substantial fines and penalties for us and for the individuals working for us. Changes in export or import laws or corresponding sanctions may delay the introduction and sale of our products in international markets, or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our products to certain countries, regions, governments, persons or entities altogether, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are also subject to various domestic and international anti-corruption laws, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act, as well as other similar anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally prohibit companies and their employees and intermediaries from authorizing, offering, or providing improper payments or benefits to officials and other recipients for improper purposes. We rely on certain third parties to support our sales and regulatory compliance efforts and can be held liable for their corrupt or other illegal activities, even if we do not explicitly authorize or have actual knowledge of such activities. Although we take precautions to prevent violations of these laws, our exposure for violating these laws increases as our international presence expands and as we increase sales and operations in foreignadditional jurisdictions.
We recognize certain revenue streams over the term of our subscription and maintenance contracts. Consequently, downturns in new sales may not be immediately reflected in our results of operations and may be difficult to discern.
We generally recognize subscription and maintenance revenue from customers ratably over the terms of their contracts. As a result, a significant portion of the revenue we report in each quarter is derived from the recognition of deferred revenue relating to subscription and maintenance plans entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed licenses, subscriptions and maintenance plans in any single quarter may only have a small impact on our revenue results for that quarter. However, such a decline will negatively affect our revenue in future quarters. Accordingly, the effect of significant downturns in sales and market acceptance of our products, and potential changes in our pricing policies or rate of expansion or retention, may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. We may also be unable to reduce our cost structure in line with a significant deterioration in sales. In addition, a significant majority of our costs are expensed as incurred, while a significant portion of our revenue is recognized over the life of the agreement with our customer. As a result, increased growth in the number of our customers could continue to result in our recognition of more costs than revenue in the earlier periods of the terms of certain of our customer agreements. Our subscription and maintenance revenue also makes it more difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue through additional sales in any period, as revenue from certain new customers must be recognized over the applicable term.
If we fail to integrate our products with a variety of operating systems, software applications, platforms and hardware that are developed by others, our products may become less marketable, less competitive, or obsolete and our results of operations would be harmed.
Our products must integrate with a variety of network, hardware, and software platforms, and we need to continuously modify and enhance our products to adapt to changes in hardware, software, networking, browser and database technologies. In particular, we have developed our products to be able to easily integrate with third-party

applications, including the applications of software providers that compete with us, through the interaction of application programming interfaces, or APIs. In general, we rely on the fact that the providers of such software systems continue to allow us access to their APIs to enable these customer integrations. To date, we have not relied on long-term written contracts to govern our relationship with these providers. Instead, we are subject to the standard terms and conditions for application developers of such providers, which govern the distribution, operation and fees of such software systems, and which are subject to change by such providers from time to time. Our business may be harmed if any provider of such software systems:
discontinues or limits our access to its APIs;
modifies its terms of service or other policies, including fees charged to, or other restrictions on us or other application developers;
changes how customer information is accessed by us or our customers;
establishes more favorable relationships with one or more of our competitors; or
develops or otherwise favors its own competitive offerings over ours.
We believe a significant component of our value proposition to customers is the ability to optimize and configure our products with these third-party applications through our respective APIs. If we are not permitted or able to integrate with these and other third-party applications in the future, demand for our products could decline and our business and results of operations would be harmed.
In addition, an increasing number of organizations and individuals within organizations are utilizing mobile devices to access the Internet and corporate resources and to conduct business. We have designed and continue to design mobile applications to provide access to our products through these devices. If we cannot provide effective functionality through these mobile applications as required by organizations and individuals that widely use mobile devices, we may experience difficulty attracting and retaining customers. Failure of our products to operate effectively with future infrastructure platforms and technologies could also reduce the demand for our products, resulting in customer dissatisfaction and harm to our business. If we are unable to respond to changes in a cost-effective manner, our products may become less marketable, less competitive or obsolete and our results of operations may be harmed.
We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement or misappropriation of their proprietary rights.
There is considerable patent and other intellectual property development activity in our industry. Our future success depends in part on not infringing upon or misappropriating the intellectual property rights of others. From time to time, our competitors or other third parties have claimed or may claim that we are infringing upon or misappropriating their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to be infringing upon or misappropriating such rights. We may be unaware of the intellectual property rights of others that may cover some or all of our technology, or technology that we obtain from third parties. Any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering our products or using certain technologies, require us to implement expensive work-arounds or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. In the case of infringement or misappropriation caused by technology that we obtain from third parties, any indemnification or other contractual protections we obtain from such third parties, if any, may be insufficient to cover the liabilities we incur as a result of such infringement or misappropriation. We may also be obligated to indemnify our customers or business partners in connection with any such claims or litigation and to obtain licenses, modify our products or refund fees, which could further exhaust our resources. In addition, we may incur substantial costs to resolve claims or litigation, whether or not successfully asserted against us, which could include payment of significant settlement, royalty or license fees, modification of our products or refunds to customers of fees. Even if we were to prevail in the event of claims or litigation against us, any claim or litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and other employees from our business operations and disrupt our business.

Indemnity provisions in various agreements potentially expose us to substantial liability for intellectual property infringement and other losses.
Our agreements with customers and other third parties may include indemnification or other provisions under which we agree to indemnify or otherwise be liable to them for losses suffered or incurred as a result of claims of intellectual property infringement, damages caused by us to property or persons, or other liabilities relating to or arising from our products or other acts or omissions. The term of these contractual provisions often survives termination or expiration of the applicable agreement. Large indemnity payments or damage claims from contractual breach could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Although we normally contractually limit our liability with respect to such obligations, we may still incur substantial liability related to them. Any dispute with a customer with respect to such obligations could have adverse effects on our relationship with that customer and other current and prospective customers, reduce demand for our products, damage our reputation and harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We use open source software in our products that may subject our products to general release or require us to re-engineer our products, which may harm our business.
We use open source software in our products and expect to continue to use open source software in the future. There are uncertainties regarding the proper interpretation of and compliance with open source software licenses. Consequently, there is a risk that the owners of the copyrights in such open source software may claim that the open source licenses governing their use impose certain conditions or restrictions on our ability to use the software that we did not anticipate. Such owners may seek to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license, including by demanding release of the source code for the open source software, derivative works of such software, or, in some cases, our proprietary source code that uses or was developed using such open source software. These claims could also result in litigation, require us to purchase a costly license or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our products, any of which could result in additional cost and liability to us, reputational damage and harm to our business and results of operations. In addition, if the license terms for the open source software we utilize change, we may be forced to re-engineer our products or incur additional costs to comply with the changed license terms or to replace the affected open source software. Although we have implemented policies and tools to regulate the use and incorporation of open source software into our products, we cannot be certain that we have not incorporated open source software in our products in a manner that is inconsistent with such policies.
Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and our brand.
Our success and ability to compete depend in part upon our intellectual property. We primarily rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate. We make business decisions about when to seek patent protection for a particular technology and when to rely upon trade secret protection, and the approach we select may ultimately prove to be inadequate. Even in cases where we seek patent protection, there is no assurance that the resulting patents will effectively protect every significant feature of our products. In addition, we believe that the protection of our trademark rights is an important factor in product recognition, protecting our brand and maintaining goodwill. If we do not adequately protect our rights in our trademarks from infringement, any goodwill that we have developed in those trademarks could be lost or impaired, which could harm our brand and our business. In any event, in order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights.
For example, in order to promote the transparency and adoption of our downloadable software, we provide our customers with the ability to request a copy of the source code of those products, which they may customize for their internal use under limited license terms, subject to confidentiality and use restrictions. If any of our customers misuses or distributes our source code in violation of our agreements with them, or anyone else obtains access to our source code, it could cost us significant time and resources to enforce our rights and remediate any resulting competitive harms.
Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time consuming and distracting to management. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights, which could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property rights. Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our brand and our business.

Our global operations and structure subject us to potentially adverse tax consequences.

We generally conduct our global operations through subsidiaries and report our taxable income in various jurisdictions worldwide based upon our business operations in those jurisdictions. A change in our global operations or changes in tax laws or interpretations of such tax laws could result in higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows and lower overall profitability. In particular, our intercompany relationships are subject to complex transfer pricing regulations administered by taxing authorities in various jurisdictions. The relevant revenue and taxing authorities may disagree with positions we have taken generally, or our determinations as to the value of assets sold or acquired or income and expenses attributable to specific jurisdictions. In addition, in the ordinary course of our business we are subject to tax audits from various taxing authorities. If such a disagreement were to occur, and our position was not sustained, or if a tax audit resulted in an adverse finding, we could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties, which could result in one-time tax charges, higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows and lower overall profitability of our operations.

Certain government agencies in jurisdictions where we do business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational companies. In addition, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has completed the base erosion and profit shifting project which seeks to establish certain international standards for taxing the worldwide income of multinational companies. The measures have been endorsed by the leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies. Also, in March 2018, the European Commission proposed a series of measures aimed at ensuring a fair and efficient taxation of digital businesses operating within the European Union. As a result of these developments and the increasing focus by government taxing authorities on multinational companies, the tax laws of certain countries in which we do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and any such changes could increase our liabilities for taxes, interest and penalties, lead to higher effective tax rates, and therefore could harm our cash flows, results of operations and financial position.

U.S. federal income tax reform could adversely affect us.

On December 22, 2017, the United States passed legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that significantly reforms the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, among other things, includes changes to U.S. federal tax rates, imposes significant additional limitations on the deductibility of interest and executive compensation, allows for the expensing of capital expenditures and puts into effect the migration from a worldwide system of taxation to a territorial system. We do not expect the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to have a material impact to our projection of minimal cash taxes. However, the full impact of this tax reform on our business is still uncertain and could adversely affect us.

Taxing authorities may successfully assert that we should have collected or in the future should collect sales and use, value-added or similar taxes, and we could be subject to liability with respect to past or future sales, which could harm our results of operations.

We do not collect sales and use, value-added and similar taxes in all jurisdictions in which we have sales, based on our understanding that such taxes are not applicable. Sales and use, value-added and similar tax laws and rates vary greatly by jurisdiction. Certain jurisdictions in which we do not collect such taxes may assert that such taxes are applicable, which could result in tax assessments, penalties, and interest, and we may be required to collect such taxes in the future. Such tax assessments, penalties and interest, or future requirements may harm our results of operations.
Changes in laws and regulations related to the Internet or changes in the Internet infrastructure itself may diminish the demand for our products, and could harm our business.
The future success of our business depends upon the continued use of the Internet as a primary medium for commerce, communication, and business applications. Federal, state, or foreign government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws or regulations affecting the use of the Internet as a commercial medium. Changes in these laws or regulations could require us to modify our products in order to comply with these changes. In addition, government agencies or private organizations have imposed and may impose additional taxes, fees, or other charges for accessing the Internet or commerce conducted via the Internet. These laws or charges could limit the growth of Internet-related commerce or communications generally, or result in reductions in the demand for Internet-based products such as ours. In addition, the use of the Internet as a business tool could be harmed due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to

handle increased demands of Internet activity, security, reliability, cost, ease-of-use, accessibility, and quality of service. The performance of the Internet and its acceptance as a business tool has been harmed by phishing attacks, cyber-attacks, viruses, worms, and similar malicious programs and the Internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. If the use of the Internet is adversely affected by these issues, demand for our products could decline.
We are exposed to credit riskdecline and fluctuations in the market values of our investment portfolio.
Given the global nature of our business we have diversified U.S. and non-U.S. investments. Credit ratings and pricing of our investments cancould be negatively affected by liquidity, credit deterioration, financial results, economic risk, political risk, sovereign risk or other factors. As a result, the value and liquidity of our investments may fluctuate substantially. Therefore, although we have not realized any significant losses on our investments, future fluctuations in their value could result in a significant realized loss.harmed.
Catastrophic events may disrupt our business.

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could harm our business. We have a large employee presence and operations in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. The west coast of the United States contains active earthquake zones. In the event of a major earthquake, hurricane or catastrophic event such as fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, cyber-attack, war or terrorist attack, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our application development, lengthy interruptions in our products, breaches of data security and loss of critical data, all of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.28

Additionally, we rely on our network and third-party infrastructure and applications, internal technology systems, and our websites for our development, marketing, operational support, hosted services and sales activities. If these systems were to fail or be negatively impacted as a result of a natural disaster or catastrophic event, our ability to conduct normal business operations and deliver products to our customers would be impaired.

As we grow our business, the need for business continuity planning and disaster recovery plans will grow in significance. If we are unable to develop adequate plans to ensure that our business functions continue to operate during and after a disaster or catastrophic event, and successfully execute on those plans, our business and reputation would be harmed.
If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, our results of operations could be harmed.
We are not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”) as we believe that we the meet all the requirements for exemption provided under Rule 3a-8 under the Investment Company Act. If we were obligated to register as an investment company, we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act that impose, among other things, limitations on capital structure, restrictions on specified investments, prohibitions on transactions with affiliates, and compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would increase our operating expenses and maycould harm our results of operations.
Adverse economic conditions could negatively impact our business.
Our results of operations may vary based on the impact of changes in our industry or the global economy on us or our customers. Our business depends on demand for business software applications generally and for collaboration software solutions in particular. In addition, the market adoption of our products and our revenue is dependent on the number of users of our products. To the extent that weak economic conditions reduce the number of personnel providing development or engineering services or that limit the available budgets within organizations for software products, demand for our products may be harmed. If economic conditions deteriorate, our customers and prospective customers may elect to decrease their information technology budgets, which would limit our ability to grow our business and harm our results of operations.

We may require additional capital to support our operations or the growth of our business and we cannot be certain that we will be able to secure this capital on favorable terms, or at all.
We may require additional capital to respond to business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions, a decline in the level of license, subscription or maintenance revenue for our products, or other unforeseen circumstances. We may not be able to timely secure debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. Any debt financing obtained by us could involve restrictive covenants relating to financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity, convertible debt securities or other securities convertible into equity, our existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of Atlassian, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our Class A ordinary shares. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Ordinary Shares
The dual class structure of our ordinary shares has the effect of concentrating voting control with certain shareholders, in particular, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and their affiliates, which will limit yourour other shareholders’ ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.
Our Class B ordinary shares have ten votes per share and our Class A ordinary shares have one vote per share. As of June 30, 2018,2021, shareholders who hold our Class B ordinary shares collectively hold approximately 92%89% of the voting power of our outstanding share capital and in particular, our Co-Chief Executive Officers, Michael Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, collectively hold approximately 91%89% of the voting power of our outstanding share capital. The holders of our Class B ordinary shares will collectively continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of our share capital and therefore be able to control substantially all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval so long as our Class B ordinary shares represent at least 10% of all of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares in the aggregate. These holders of our Class B ordinary shares may also have interests that differ from holders of our Class A ordinary shares and may vote in a way which may be adverse to such interests. This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of Atlassian, could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of Atlassian and might ultimately affect the market price of our Class A ordinary shares.
If Messrs. Cannon-Brookes and Farquhar retain a significant portion of their holdings of our Class B ordinary shares for an extended period of time, they will control a significant portion of the voting power of our share capital for the foreseeable future. As members of our board of directors, Messrs. Cannon-Brookes and Farquhar each owe statutory and fiduciary duties to Atlassian and must act in good faith and in a manner they consider would be most likely to promote the success of Atlassian for the benefit of shareholders as a whole. As shareholders, Messrs. Cannon-Brookes and Farquhar are entitled to vote their shares in their own interests, which may not always be in the interests of our shareholders generally.
The market price of our Class A ordinary shares may beis volatile or may declineand could continue to fluctuate significantly regardless of our operating performance resulting in substantial losses for our Class A ordinary shareholders.
The trading price of our Class A ordinary shares is volatile and could continue to fluctuate significantly regardless of our operating performance. The market price of our Class A ordinary shares may fluctuate significantlyperformance in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
actualGeneral economic conditions;
Actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations;
theThe financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections or our failure to meet these projections;
failureFailure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of Atlassian, publication of inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, changes in financial estimates or ratings changes by any securities analysts who follow Atlassian or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;
announcementsAnnouncements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations, new products, acquisitions, pricing changes, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

In addition, the stock markets, and in particular the market on which our Class A ordinary shares are listed, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies. Stock prices of many technology companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, shareholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from operating our business, and harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Substantial future sales of our Class A ordinary shares could cause the market price of our Class A ordinary shares to decline.
The market price of our Class A ordinary shares could decline as a result of substantial sales of our Class A ordinary shares, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant shareholders, or the perception in the market that holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares. As of June 30, 2018,2021, we had 106,199,671137,307,769 outstanding Class A ordinary shares and 129,942,506114,609,645 outstanding Class B ordinary shares.
We have also registered Class A ordinary shares that we issue under our employee equity incentive plans. These shares may be sold freely in the public market upon issuance.
Certain holders of our Class A ordinary shares and our Class B ordinary shares, including our founders, have rights, subject to certain conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or our shareholders. Sales of our Class A ordinary shares pursuant to these registration rights may make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. These sales also could cause the market price of our Class A ordinary shares to fall and make it more difficult for our investors to sell our Class A ordinary shares at a price that they deem appropriate.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention, and affect our ability to attract and retain executive officers and qualified board members.
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the listing requirements of NASDAQNasdaq Global Select Market and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations has increased our legal and financial compliance costs, making some activities more difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and has increased demand on our systems and resources. Such demands would likely continue to increase, particularly if we were to lose our status as a foreign private issuer as discussed below. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual reports with respect to our business and results of operations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight is required. As a result of the complexity involved in complying with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, our management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the pressures of operating a public company may divert management’s attention to delivering short-term results, instead of focusing on long-term strategy.
As a public company it is more expensive for us to maintain adequate director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and members of our board of directors.
If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our Class A ordinary shares maycould be harmed.negatively affected.
As a public company, we are required to maintain internal controls over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal controls. We are required to furnish a report by management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of Class A ordinary shares could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.
We do not expect to declare dividends in the foreseeable future.
We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business, and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to shareholders will therefore be limited to the increase, if any, of our share price, which may never occur.
Risks Related to Our Outstanding Notes
Paying amounts due in cash in respect of theour outstanding Notes on interest payment dates, at maturity and upon exchange thereof will require a significant amount of cash. We may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay when due, or raise the funds necessary to pay when due, amounts owed in respect of the Notes, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

In April 2018, Atlassian, Inc. (the “Issuer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, priced a private offering of $850 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.625% Exchangeable Senior Notes due on May 1, 2023 (the “Initial Notes”). On May 2, 2018, the purchasers of the Initial Notes exercised their option to purchase an additional $150 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (together with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”), bringing the total aggregate principal amount of the Notes to $1 billion. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Issuer, and are scheduled to mature on May 1, 2023, unless earlier exchanged, redeemed or repurchased. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.625% per year payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2018. The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally

guaranteed by the company.


The ability to make scheduled payments of interest on, and principal of, to satisfy exchanges for cash in respect of and/or to refinance, theour outstanding Notes depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control.control, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. If we are unable to generate enough cash flow to make payments on the Notes when due, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets or obtaining additional debt financing or equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance the Notes, which we may need to do in order to satisfy our obligations thereunder, will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on the Notes.


31



The holders of the Notes have the right to require us to repurchase their Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”)) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Upon repurchase of the Notes, we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the Notes being repurchased. In addition, upon a holder’s exchange of the Notes for cash in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, we would be required to make cash payments in respect of the Notes being exchanged in the manner set forth in the Indenture. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of, or exchange of, the Notes for cash. Our failure to repurchase the Notes or exchange the Notes for cash at a time when the repurchase or exchange is required by the Indenture governing the Notes would constitute a default under such Indenture.


In addition, our indebtedness on the Notes, combined with our other financial obligations and contractual commitments, could have other important consequences. For example, it could:


makeMake us more vulnerable to adverse changes in government regulation and in the worldwide economic, industry and competitive environment;
limitLimit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry;
placePlace us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors who have less debt;
limitLimit our ability to borrow additional amounts to fund acquisitions, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes; and
makeMake an acquisition of the companyCompany less attractive or more difficult.

Any of these factors could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if we incur additional indebtedness, the risks related to our business and our ability to repay our indebtedness on the Notes would increase.

The conditional exchange feature of the Notes, ifwhen triggered, may adversely affect our financial conditionliquidity and operating results.results of operations.

In the eventWhen the conditional exchange feature of the Notes is triggered, holders of Notes will beare entitled to exchange the Notes at any time during specified periods, at their option. The conditional exchange feature of the Notes was triggered as of June 30, 2021, and the Notes are currently exchangeable at the option of the holders, in whole or in part, between June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021. If holders elect to exchange their Notes during such fiscal quarter, we would be required to settle our exchange obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even without holders electing to exchange their Notes during such fiscal quarter, we were required under applicable accounting rules to continue to classify the outstanding principal of the Notes as a current rather than long-term liability as of June 30, 2021.
Whether the Notes will be exchangeable following such fiscal quarter will depend on the continued satisfaction of this condition or another exchange condition in the future. If holders elect to exchange their Notes during future periods following the satisfaction of an exchange condition, we would be required to settle our exchange obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to exchange their Notes during such future periods, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.

The accounting for the Notes will result in us having to recognize interest expense significantly greater than the stated interest rate of the Notes and may result in volatility to our reported financial results.

results, which could adversely affect the price at which our Class A ordinary shares trade.
We will settle exchanges of the Notes entirely in cash. Accordingly, the exchange optionfeature that is part of the Notes will beis accounted for as a derivative pursuant to accounting standards relating to derivative instruments and hedging activities. In general, this will resultresults in an initial valuation of the exchange option,feature, which will beis bifurcated from the debt component of the Notes, resulting in an original issue discount. The original issue discount will beis amortized and recognized as a component of interest expense over the term of the Notes, which will resultresults in an effective interest rate reported in our consolidated statements of operations significantly in excess of the stated interest rate of the Notes. ThisAlthough this accounting treatment will reduce our earnings and could adversely affect the price at

which our Class A ordinary shares trade, but it willdoes not affect the amount of cash interest paid to holders of the Notes or our cash flows.flows, it reduces our earnings and could adversely affect the price at which our Class A ordinary shares trade.

Additionally, for each financial statement period after issuance of the Notes, a derivative gain or loss will be reported in our consolidated statements of operations to the extent the valuation of the exchange optionfeature changes from the previous period. The capped call transactions described below and elsewhere in this annual report will also be accounted for as derivative instruments, generally offsettinginstruments. The valuation of the exchange feature of the Notes and capped call transactions utilizes significant observable and unobservable market inputs, including stock price, stock price volatility, and time to expiration of the Notes. The change of inputs at period end from the previous period may result in a material change of the valuation and the gain or loss associated with changes toresulting from the valuationexchange feature of the exchange option. Although we doNotes and capped call transactions may not expectcompletely offset each other. As such, there tomay be a material net impact to our consolidated statements of operations, as a result of issuingwhich could adversely affect the Notes and entering into the capped call transactions, we cannot assure you that these transactions will be completely offset,price at which may result in volatility to our consolidated statements of operations.

Class A ordinary shares trade.
The arbitrage or hedging strategy by purchasers of ourthe Notes and Option Counterparties in connection with our capped call transactions may affect the value of our Class A ordinary shares.

We expect that many investors in, and potential purchasers of the Notes will employ, or seek to employ, an arbitrage strategy with respect to the Notes. Investors would typically implement such a strategy by selling short our Class A ordinary shares underlying the Notes and dynamically adjusting their short position while continuing to hold the Notes. Investors may also implement this type of strategy by entering into swaps on our Class A ordinary shares in lieu of or in addition to selling short our Class A ordinary shares. This activity could decrease (or reduce the size of any increase in) the market price of our Class A ordinary shares at that time.

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Issuerwe entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions (the “Option Counterparties”). The capped call transactions are expected generally to offset cash payments due upon exchange of the Notes in excess of the principal amount thereof in the event that the market value per Class A ordinary share of the companyCompany is at the time of exchange of the Notes greater than the strike price under the capped call transactions, with such offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. We believe the Option Counterparties, in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, purchased our Class A ordinary shares and/or entered into various derivative transactions with respect to our Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes. The Option Counterparties may modify these initial hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our Class A ordinary shares and/or purchasing or selling our Class A ordinary shares or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions prior to the maturity of the Notes. This activity could decrease, (oror reduce the size of any increase in)in the market price of our Class A ordinary shares at that time.

We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to the capped call transactions.

The Option Counterparties are financial institutions, and we are subject to the risk that they might default under the capped call transactions. Our exposure to the credit risk of the Option Counterparties is not secured by any collateral. If an Option Counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings, with a claim equal to our exposure at that time under the Issuer’scapped call transactions with that Option Counterparty. Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, an increase in our exposure will be correlated to an increase in the market price and in the volatility of our Class A ordinary shares. In addition, upon a default by an Option Counterparty, we may suffer adverse tax consequences and may, on a net basis, have to pay more cash to settle exchanges of the Notes. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of the Option Counterparties.
Risks Related to being a Foreign Private Issuer or an English Company
As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to report our financial results under IFRS, are exempt from certain rules under the U.S. securities laws and are permitted to file less information with the SEC than a U.S. company, and our Class A ordinary shares are not listed, and we do not intend to list our shares, on any market in the United Kingdom, our country of incorporation. This may limit the information available to holders of our Class A ordinary shares.
We are a foreign private issuer, as defined in the SEC’s rules and regulations and, consequently, we are not subject to all of the disclosure requirements applicable to public companies organized within the United States. For example, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that regulate disclosure obligations and procedural requirements related to the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations applicable to a security registered under the Exchange Act, including the U.S. proxy rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In

addition, our officers and directors are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related rules with respect to their purchases and sales of our securities.

33


Moreover, while we have been, and expect to continue to, voluntarily submit quarterly interim consolidated financial data to the SEC under cover of the SEC’s Form 6-K, we willare not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. public companies and willare not be required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act. If some investors find our Class A ordinary shares less attractive because of these exemptions, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A ordinary shares and our share price may be more volatile.
Furthermore, our shares are not listed and we do not currently intend to list our shares on any market in the United Kingdom, our country of incorporation. As a result, we are not subject to the reporting and other requirements of companies listed in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, there will be less publicly available information concerning Atlassian than there would be if we were a public company organized in the United States.
In addition, we report our financial statements under IFRS. There have been and there may in the future be certain significant differences between IFRS and GAAP, including differences related to revenue recognition, share-based compensation expense, income tax and earnings per share. As a result, our financial information and reported earnings for historical or future periods could be significantly different if they were prepared in accordance with GAAP. As a result, youit may not be abledifficult to meaningfully compare our financial statements under IFRS with those companies that prepare financial statements under GAAP.
As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain requirements under the NASDAQNasdaq listing standards. This may afford less protection to holders of our Class A ordinary shares than U.S. regulations.
As a foreign private issuer whose shares are listed on the NASDAQNasdaq Global Select Market, we are permitted to follow English corporate law and the Companies Act 2006 (Companies Act) with regard to certain aspects of corporate governance in lieu of certain requirements under the NASDAQNasdaq listing standards.
A foreign private issuer must disclose in its annual reports filed with the SEC each requirement under the NASDAQNasdaq listing standards with which it does not comply, followed by a description of its applicable home country practice. Our home country practices differ in significant respects from the corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers listed on the NASDAQNasdaq Global Select Market and may, therefore, afford less protection to holders of our Class A ordinary shares.
We may rely on exemptions available under the NASDAQNasdaq listing standards to a foreign private issuer and follow our home country practices in the future, and as a result, youour shareholders may not be provided with the benefits of certain corporate governance requirements of the NASDAQNasdaq listing standards.
We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional cost and expense.
In order to maintain our current status as a foreign private issuer, either (1)(i) a majority of voting power of our shares must be either directly or indirectly owned of record by non-residents of the United States or (2)(ii) (a) a majority of our executive officers or directors must not be U.S. citizens or residents, (b) more than 50% of our assets cannot be located in the United States, and (c) our business must be administered principally outside the United States. If we lose this status, we would be required to comply with the Exchange Act reporting and other requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, which are more detailed and extensive than the requirements for foreign private issuers. We would also be required under current SEC rules to prepare our financial statements in accordance with GAAP and modify certain of our corporate governance practices in accordance with various SEC rules and the NASDAQNasdaq listing standards. The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws if we are required to comply with the reporting requirements applicable to a U.S. domestic issuer will likely be higher than the cost we would incur as a foreign private issuer. As a result, we expect that a loss of foreign private issuer status would increase our legal and financial compliance costs. We also expect that if we were required to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, it wouldcould make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors.

Provisions contained in our articles of association and under the laws of England may frustrate or prevent an attempt to obtain control of us.
Provisions in our articles of association, as amended and restated, may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Our amended and restated articles of association include provisions that:
specify

34


Specify that general meetings of our shareholders can be called only by our board of directors, the chair of our board of directors, or one of our Co-Chief Executive Officers (or otherwise by shareholders in accordance with the Companies Act); and
provideProvide that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by a majority of directors then in office, even though less thanor by shareholders upon a quorum.recommendation by the directors or following specified notification procedures.
Provisions of the laws of England may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. The Companies Act includes provisions that:
requireRequire that any action to be taken by our shareholders be effected at a duly called general meeting (including the annual general meeting) and not by written consent; and
requireRequire the approval of the holders of at least 75% of the voting power of our outstanding shares to amend the provisions of our articles of association.
These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for shareholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management.
In addition, because we are a public limited company whose registered office is in the United Kingdom, we may become subject to the U.K. City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (“Takeover Code), which is issued and administered by the U.K. Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (“Takeover Panel). The Takeover Code applies, among other things, to an offer for a public company whose registered office is in the United Kingdom and whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market or multilateral trading facility in the United Kingdom (and for these purposes NASDAQNasdaq does not fall within the definition of regulated market or multilateral trading facility), or to an offer for a public company whose registered office is in the United Kingdom if Atlassian is considered by the Takeover Panel to have its place of central management and control in the United Kingdom. Although we believe that the Takeover Code does not currently apply to us, the Takeover Panel will be responsible for determining whether we have our place of central management and control in the United Kingdom by looking at various factors, including the structure of our board of directors and where they are resident.
If at the time of a takeover offer the Takeover Panel determines that we have our place of central management and control in the United Kingdom, or if at that time we have our shares admitted to trading on a regulated market or multilateral trading facility in the United Kingdom (or a regulated market in one or more member states of the European Economic Area), we would be subject to a number of rules and restrictions, including, but not limited to, the following: (1)(i) our ability to enter into deal protection arrangements with a bidder would be extremely limited; (2)(ii) we may not, without the approval of our shareholders, be able to perform certain actions that could have the effect of frustrating an offer, such as issuing shares or carrying out acquisitions or disposals; and (3)(iii) we would be obliged to provide equality of information to all bona-fide competing bidders.
The rights of our shareholders may differ from the rights typically offered to shareholders of a U.S. corporation.
We are incorporated under English law. The rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares are governed by English law, including the provisions of the Companies Act, and by our articles of association. These rights differ in certain respects from the rights of shareholders in typical U.S. corporations organized under Delaware law.
Shareholders in certain jurisdictions may not be able to exercise their pre-emptive rights if we increase our share capital.
Under the Companies Act, our shareholders generally have the right to subscribe and pay for a sufficient number of our shares to maintain their relative ownership percentages prior to the issuance of any new shares in exchange for cash consideration. Shareholders in certain jurisdictions may not be able to exercise their pre-emptive rights unless securities laws have been complied with in such jurisdictions with respect to such rights and the related shares, or an exemption from the requirements of the securities laws of these jurisdictions is available. We

currently do not intend to register theour Class A ordinary shares under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, and no assurance can be given that an exemption from the securities laws requirements of other jurisdictions will be available to shareholders in these jurisdictions. To the extent that such shareholders are not able to exercise their pre-emptive rights, the pre-emptive rights would lapse, and the proportional interests of such shareholders would be reduced.

35



Further, the Companies Act provides that in certain circumstances the pre-emptive rights available to shareholders can be overridden, including where there is an issue of shares for non-cash consideration or the disapplication of the pre-emptive rights is approved by the holdersshareholders by way of a special resolution (requiring approval by shareholders representing at least 75% of our outstanding shares.the total voting rights of shareholders who (being entitled to do so) vote on the resolution). Our shareholders have approved the disapplication of these pre-emptive rights for a period of five years from our fiscal year 2017 annual shareholder meeting.general meeting of shareholders, and it is anticipated that a further disapplication will be sought at the fiscal year 2022 annual general meeting of shareholders for a further five year period.
U.S. holders of our shares could be subject to material adverse tax consequences if we are considered a “passive foreign investment company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
We do not believe that we are a passive foreign investment company, and we do not expect to become a passive foreign investment company. However, our status in any taxable year will depend on our assets, income and activities in each year, and because this is a factual determination made annually after the end of each taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a passive foreign investment company for the current taxable year or any future taxable years. If we were a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year while a taxable U.S. holder held our shares, such U.S. holder would generally be taxed at ordinary income rates on any sale of our shares and on any dividends treated as “excess distributions.” An interest charge also generally would apply based on any taxation deferred during such U.S. holder’s holding period in the shares.
U.S. investors may have difficulty enforcing civil liabilities against us, our directors, or our executive officers.
Under English law, a director owes various statutory and fiduciary duties to us, and not, except in certain limited circumstances, to shareholders. This means that under English law generally we, rather than the shareholders, are the proper claimant in an action in respect of a wrong done to us by a director. Notwithstanding this general position, the Companies Act provides that a court may allow a shareholder to bring a derivative claim, which is an action in respect of and on behalf of us, in respect of a cause of action arising from a director’s negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust. The ability to bring a derivative claim is, however, subject to compliance with a number of procedural requirements, which may in practice be difficult for shareholders to comply with.
We are a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England. Certain of our directors and executive officers reside outside the United States. In addition, a substantial portion of our assets and a substantial portion of the assets of such directors and executive officers, are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for an investor to serve legal process on us or our directors and executive officers or have any of them appear in a U.S. court.
It may not be possible to bring proceedings or enforce a judgment of a U.S. court in respect of civil liabilities predicated on the U.S. federal securities laws in England. The English courts will not enforce, either directly or indirectly, a penal, revenue or other public law of a foreign state. In addition, awards of punitive damages in actions brought in the United StatesU.S. or elsewhere may be unenforceable in England. An award of damages is usually considered to be punitive if it does not seek to compensate the claimant for loss or damage suffered and is instead intended to punish the defendant. In addition to public policy aspects of enforcement, the enforceability of any judgment in England will depend on the particular facts of the case such as the nature of the judgment and whether the English court considered the U.S. court to have had jurisdiction. It will also depend on the laws and treaties in effect at that time. The United States and the United Kingdom do not currently have a treaty or convention providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments, other than arbitration awards, in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, to enforce a judgment of a U.S. court, the party seeking to enforce the judgment must bring an action at common law in respect of the amount due under the judgment.

General Risk Factors
Our global operations subject us to risks that can harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
A key element of our strategy is to operate globally and sell our products to customers around the world. Operating globally requires significant resources and management attention and subjects us to regulatory,

36


economic, geographic, and political risks. In particular, our global operations subject us to a variety of additional risks and challenges, including:
Increased management, travel, infrastructure, and legal compliance costs associated with having operations in many countries;
Difficulties in enforcing contracts, including “clickwrap” contracts that are entered into online, of which we have historically relied as part of our product licensing strategy, but which may be subject to additional legal uncertainty in some foreign jurisdictions;
Increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;
Requirements or preferences within other regions for domestic products, and difficulties in replacing products offered by more established or known regional competitors;
Differing technical standards, existing or future regulatory and certification requirements, and required features and functionality;
Communication and integration problems related to entering and serving new markets with different languages, cultures, and political systems;
Compliance with foreign privacy and security laws and regulations and the risks and costs of non-compliance;
Compliance with laws and regulations for foreign operations, including anti-bribery laws (such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.S. Travel Act, and the U.K. Bribery Act), import and export control laws, tariffs, trade barriers, economic sanctions, and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to sell our products in certain foreign markets, and the risks and costs of non-compliance;
Heightened risks of unfair or corrupt business practices in certain geographies that may impact our financial results and result in restatements of our consolidated financial statements;
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates and related effects on our results of operations;
Difficulties in repatriating or transferring funds from, or converting currencies in certain countries;
Weak economic conditions which could arise in each country or region in which we operate or sell our products, or general political and economic instability around the world, including as a result of COVID-19;
Differing labor standards, including restrictions related to, and the increased cost of, terminating employees in some countries;
Difficulties in recruiting and hiring employees in certain countries;
The preference for localized software and licensing programs and localized language support;
Reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries and practical difficulties associated with enforcing our legal rights abroad;
Imposition of travel restrictions, prohibitions of non-essential travel, modifications of employee work locations, or cancellation or reorganization of certain sales and marketing events as a result of COVID-19;
Compliance with the laws of numerous foreign taxing jurisdictions, including withholding obligations, and overlapping of different tax regimes; and
Geopolitical risks, such as political and economic instability, and changes in diplomatic and trade relations.
Compliance with laws and regulations applicable to our global operations substantially increases our cost of doing business in foreign jurisdictions. We may be unable to keep current with changes in government requirements as they change from time to time. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our business. In many countries, it is common for others to engage in business practices that are prohibited by our internal policies and procedures or other regulations applicable to us. Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these regulations and policies, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, contractors, business partners and agents will comply with these regulations and policies. Violations of laws, regulations or key control policies by our employees, contractors, business partners, or agents could result in delays in revenue recognition, financial reporting misstatements, enforcement actions, reputational harm, disgorgement of profits, fines, civil and criminal penalties, damages, injunctions, other collateral consequences, or the prohibition of the importation or exportation of our products and could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

37


Adverse economic conditions could negatively impact our business.
Our results of operations may vary based on the impact of changes in our industry or the global economy on us or our customers. Our business depends on demand for business software applications generally and for collaboration software solutions in particular. In addition, the market adoption of our products and our revenue is dependent on the number of users of our products. To the extent that weak economic conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, reduce the number of personnel providing development or engineering services or that limit the available budgets within organizations for software products, demand for our products could be harmed. If economic conditions deteriorate, our customers and prospective customers may elect to decrease their information technology budgets, which would limit our ability to grow our business and harm our results of operations.
In addition, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has created significant additional uncertainty for the global economy. If the outbreak worsens or continues for an indefinite period of time, especially in regions in which we have material operations or sales, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Catastrophic events may disrupt our business.
Natural disasters, pandemics, including COVID-19, other public health emergencies, geopolitical conflicts, social or political unrest, or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could harm our business. We have a large employee presence and operations in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. The west coast of the United States contains active earthquake zones. In the event of a major earthquake, hurricane or catastrophic event such as fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, cyber-attack, war or terrorist attack, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our application development, lengthy interruptions in our product availability, breaches of data security and loss of critical data, all of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The long-term effects of climate change on the global economy and the technology industry in particular are unclear, however we recognize that there are inherent climate related risks wherever business is conducted. Climate-related events, including the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and their impact on critical infrastructure in the United States, Australia and elsewhere, have the potential to disrupt our business, our third-party suppliers, and/or the business of our customers, and may cause us to experience higher attrition, losses and additional costs to maintain and resume operations.    

    Additionally, we rely on our network and suppliers of third-party infrastructure and applications, internal technology systems, and our websites for our development, marketing, internal controls, operational support, hosted services and sales activities. If these systems were to fail or be negatively impacted as a result of a natural disaster, disease or pandemic, including COVID-19, or catastrophic event, our ability to conduct normal business operations and deliver products to our customers could be impaired.
As we grow our business, the need for business continuity planning and disaster recovery plans will grow in significance. If we are unable to develop adequate plans to ensure that our business functions continue to operate during and after a disaster, disease or pandemic, including COVID-19, or catastrophic event, and successfully execute on those plans, our business and reputation could be harmed.

We depend on our executive officers and other key employees and the loss of one or more of these employees or the inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees could harm our business.
Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our executive officers and key employees. We rely on our leadership team and other key employees in the areas of research and development, products, strategy, operations, security, go-to-market, marketing, IT, support, and general and administrative functions. From time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. In addition, we do not have employment agreements with our executive officers or other key personnel that require them to continue to work for us for any specified period and, therefore, they could terminate their employment with us at any time. The loss of one or more of our executive officers, especially our Co-Chief Executive Officers, or other key employees could harm our business.
In addition, in order to execute our growth plan, we must attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for these personnel in Sydney, Australia, the San Francisco Bay Area, and in other locations where we maintain offices, is intense, especially for engineers experienced in designing and developing software and cloud-based services. We have from time to time experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty hiring and retaining employees with appropriate qualifications. In particular, recruiting and hiring senior product engineering personnel has been, and we expect to continue to be, challenging. If we are unable to hire and retain talented product engineering personnel, we may be unable to scale our operations or release new products in a timely fashion and, as a result, customer satisfaction with our products may decline.
Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. If we hire employees from competitors or other companies, these employers may attempt to assert that the employees or we have breached certain legal obligations, resulting in a diversion of our time and resources. In addition, job candidates and existing employees often consider the value of the equity awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the value or perceived value of our equity awards declines, it could harm our ability to recruit and retain highly skilled employees. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
We are exposed to credit risk and fluctuations in the market values of our investment portfolio.
Given the global nature of our business, we have diversified U.S. and non-U.S. investments. Credit ratings and pricing of our investments can be negatively affected by liquidity, credit deterioration, financial results, economic risk, political risk, sovereign risk or other factors. As a result, the value and liquidity of our investments may fluctuate substantially. Therefore, although we have not realized any significant losses on our investments, future fluctuations in their value could result in a significant realized loss.

B. Business Overview

Our mission is to unleash the potential of every team.

Our products help teams organize, discuss and complete their work – delivering superior outcomes for their organizations. We believe human advancement has always been driven by teamwork – from the great explorations of earth and space to innovations in industry, medicine, music and technology. And while it’s common to celebrate the individual genius behind a breakthrough idea, in nearly every case there is a team of unsung heroes that actually gets the work done.

We also believe that the greatest lever teams have to advance humanity lies in the power of software innovation. Software’s transformational impact is forcing organizations to use software to innovate, or face disruption from competitors that do. Today, organizations in every industry are becoming software-driven. As a result, the teams that imagine, create and deliver that software are more essential than ever.

Our company was founded in 2002 to help software teams work better together. But from the beginning, our products were also designed to help developers collaborate with non-developer teams involved in software innovation. By landing with developers, our products organically spread to other technical and non-technical teams through cross-functional collaboration. And increasingly, organizations are turning to their software teams to drive digital transformation. As more non-developertechnical and non-technical teams have gainedgain exposure to our products, and as we add to our portfolio through research and development and acquisitions, these teams are adopting and extending our products to novel use cases, bringing our products to more users and business teams in their organizations. This powerful trend has created an expansive market opportunity for us.

Today, ourOur products serve teams of all shapes and sizes, in virtually every industry. Our primary products include Jira Software and Jira Work Management for team planning and project management, Confluence for team content creation and sharing, Trello for capturing and adding structure to fluid, fast-forming work for teams, Jira Service Management for team service, management and support applications, Jira Align for enterprise agile planning, and Bitbucket for team code sharing and management, and Jira Service Desk for team service and support applications.management. Together, our products form an integrated system for organizing, discussing and completing shared work, becoming deeply entrenched in how people collaborate and how organizations run.
We begin with a deep investment in product development to create and refine high-quality and versatile products that users love. By making our products affordable for organizations of all sizes and transparently sharing our pricing online for most of our products, we do not follow the practice of opaque pricing and ad hoc discounting that is typical in the enterprise software industry. We pursue customer volume, targeting every organization, regardless of size, industry, or geography. This allows us to operate at unusual scale for an enterprise software company, with more than 125,000236,000 customers across virtually every industry sector in more than 180approximately 200 countries as of June 30, 2018.2021. Our customers range from small organizations that have adopted one of our products for a small group of users, to over 300two-thirds of the Fortune 500, many of which use a multitudecombination of our products across thousands of users.

We take a long-term view of our customer relationships and our opportunity. We recognize that users drive the adoption and proliferation of our products and, as a result, we focus on enabling a self-service, low-friction distribution model that makes it easy for users to try, adopt, and use our products. We are relentlessly focused on measuring and improving user satisfaction as we know that one happy user will beget another, thereby expanding the large and organic word-of-mouth community that helps drive our growth.


The Atlassian Way

Our product strategy, distribution model and companyCompany culture work in concert to create unique value for our customers and competitive advantages for our company.

Company.
We invest significantly in developing and refiningcontinually improving versatile products that can be used in myriad ways, helping teams achieve their full potential. Our products are easy to adopt and use, which allows them to be distributed organically and efficiently.


40



Because our products are easy to try and purchase, and are offered at affordable price points, they can be sold through a high-velocity, low-friction online distribution model. This model allows us to generate demand from word-of-mouth and viral expansion within organizations, rather than having to solely rely on a traditional sales infrastructure.infrastructure, especially with enterprise-scale customers. Our patient model is designed to operate at scale and serve millions of customers.


Our culture of innovation, transparency, and dedication to our customers drives our success in implementing and refining this unique approach. We believe this approach creates an environmenta self-reinforcing effect that drivesfosters innovation, quality, customer satisfaction, scale, and perpetuates our product leadershipprofitability. As a result of this strategy, we invest significantly more in research and highly automated, low-cost distribution approach, which further reinforces our strategy and unique model. development activities than in traditional sales activities relative to other enterprise software companies.

Our Product Strategy

We have developed and acquired a broad portfolio of products that help teams large and small to organize, discuss, and complete their work in a new way that is coordinated, efficient and innovative. Our products which include Jira, Confluence, Trello, Bitbucket, and Jira Service Desk, serve the needs of teams of software developers, IT managersprofessionals, and knowledge workers. While theseour products can provide a range of distinct functionality to users, they share certain core attributes:

Built for Teams - Our products are singularly designed to help teams work better together and achieve more. We design products that help our customers collaborate more effectively, be more transparent, and operate in a coordinated manner. 

Easy to Adopt and Use - We invest significantly in research and development to enable our products to be both powerful and extremely easy to use. Our software is designed to be accessed from the Internet and immediately put to work. By reducing the friction that usually accompanies the purchasing process of business software and eliminating the need for complicated and costly implementation and training, we believe we attract more people to try, buy anduse, derive value from, and buy our software.

Versatile and Adaptable - We design simple products that are useful in a broad range of workflows and projects. We believe that our products can improve any process involving teams, multiple workstreams,work streams, and deadlines. For example, Jira Software, which enables software teams to plan, build, and ship code, is also used by thousands of our customers to manage workflows related to product design, supply chain management, expense management, and legal document review. 

Integrated - Our products are integrated and designed to work well together. For example, the status of an IT service ticket generated in Jira Service DeskManagement can be viewed in Confluence, providing visibility to business stakeholders.

Open - We are dedicated to making our products open and interoperable with a range of other platforms and applications, such as Microsoft, Zoom, Slack, salesforce.com, Workday, and Dropbox. In order to provide a platform for our partners and to promote useful products for our users, in 2012 we introduceddeveloped the Atlassian Marketplace, an online marketplace that asfeatures thousands of June 30, 2018, features more than 4,000 apps created by a growing global network of independent developers and vendors. The Atlassian Marketplace provides customers a wide range of additional capabilitiesapps they can use to extend or enhance our products, further increasing the value of our platform.

Our Distribution Model
Our high-velocity, low-friction online distribution model is designed to drive exceptional customer scale by making products that are free to try and affordable products available via our convenient, low-friction online channel.to purchase online. We focus on product quality,

automated distribution, transparent pricing, and customer service in lieu of a costly traditional sales infrastructure. We primarily rely on word-of-mouth and low-touch demand generation to drive trial, adoption, and expansion of our products.

The following are key attributes of our unique model:

Innovation-driven - Relative to other enterprise software companies, we invest significantly in research and development rather than marketing and sales. Our goal is to focus our spending on new product and feature development, measures that improve quality, ease of adoption, and expansion, and create organic customer demand for our products. We also invest in ways to automate and streamline distribution and customer support functions to enhance our customer experience and improve our efficiency.

41



In addition, a portion of our research and development spending is targeted at demand generation and customer conversion. For example, we have invested in the development of our Atlassian Engagement Engine, an internal platform that allows us to profile and analyze customer behavior and promote additional products directly to users in the context of their activity.

Simple and Affordable - We offer our products at affordable prices in a simple and transparent format, withformat. For example, a customer can use a full-feature free trial before purchase. For example,version of our products for up to a certain number of users. In addition, a customer coming to our website can evaluate purchase and set uppurchase a Jira license,Software subscription, for 10 users or 10,000+50,000+ users, based on a transparent list price, without any interaction with a sales person. This approach, which stands in contrast to the opaque and complex pricing plans offered by most traditional enterprise software vendors, is designed to complement the easy-to-use, easy-to-adopt nature of our products and accelerate adoption by large volumes of new customers.

Organic and Expansive - Our model benefits significantly from customer word-of-mouth driving traffic to our website. The vast majority of our transactions are conducted on our website, which drastically reduces our customer acquisition costs. We also benefit from distribution leverage via our network of Atlassian channelsolution partners, who resell and customize our products. Once we have landed within a customer team, the networked nature and flexibility of our products tend to lead to adoption by other teams and departments, resulting in user growth, new use cases, and the adoption of our other products. To support this expansion and scaling within our customers, we have enhanced the manageability and enterprise features of our software to support broad standardization on our platform. This expansion within customers creates a network effect that contributes to long-lasting customer relationships.

Scale-oriented - Our model is designed to generate and benefit from significant customer scale and our goal is to maximize the number of individual users of our software. With more than 125,000236,000 customers using our software today, we are able to reach a vast number of users, gather insights to refinecontinually improve our offerings, and generate growing revenue growth by expanding within our customer accounts. With 2,6788,246 customers paying us in excess of $50,000, 412 customers paying us in excess of $500,000 and 178 customers paying us in excess of $1,000,000 during fiscal 2018,year 2021, many of whom started as significantly smaller customers, we have demonstrated our ability to grow within our existing customer base. Our products drive mission-critical workflows within customers of all sizes, including enterprise customers. We offer enhanced capabilities in the premium and enterprise editions of our products, as well as efficiently evolve our expansion sales motion within these larger customers. Ultimately, our model is designed to serve millions of customers large and small and to benefit from the data, network effects, and customer insights that emerge from such scale.

Data-driven - Our scale and the design of our model allows us to gather insights into and improve the customer experience. We track, test, nurture and refine every step of the customer journey and our users' experience. This allows us to intelligently manage our funnel of potential users, drive conversion and expansion, and promote additional products to existing users. Our scale has enabledenables us to experiment with various approaches to these tasksmotions and constantly tune our strategies for user satisfaction and growth.


Our Culture

Our company culture is exemplified by our core values:

team-20210630_g1.jpg

The following are the key elements of our corporate culture that contribute to our ability to drive customer value and achieve competitive differentiation:

Openness and Innovation - We value transparency and openness as an organization. We believe that putting all our product pricing and documentation online promotes trust and makes customers more comfortable in engaging with us in our low-touch model. In addition, we are dedicated to innovation and encourage our employees to invent new capabilities, applications, uses, and improvements for our software. We run our companyCompany using our own products, which promotes open communication and transparency throughout the organization.

Dedication to the Customer - Customer service and support is at the core of our business. Our customer support teams strive to provide unparalleled service to our customers. We also encourage our service

teams to build scalable, self-service solutions that customers will love, as we believe superior service drives greater customer happiness, which in turn breeds positive word-of-mouth.

Team-driven - As our mission is to unleash the potential of everyteam, we value teamwork highly. We encourage our employees to be both team oriented and entrepreneurial in identifying problems and inventing solutions. Dedication to teamwork starts at the top of our organization with our unique co-CEO structure, and is celebrated throughout our company. 
Company. 

Long-term Focused - We believe that we are building a company that can grow and prosper for decades to come. Our model, in which we expand across our customers’ organizations over time, requires a patient, long-term approach, and a dedication to continuous improvement. This is exemplified by our investment in research and development, which is significant relative to traditional software models and is designed to drive the long-term sustainability of our product leadership. Given the choice between short-term results and building long-term scale, we choose the latter.

Our Financial Model

By developing a product strategy, distribution model, and culture that are designed around the needs of our customers and users, we believe that we have established a financial model that is favorable for our shareholders. Our model has allowed us to grow customers and revenue steadily while generating positive free cash flow for each of the last 1316 fiscal years. Our model relies on rapidly and efficiently landing new customers and expanding our relationship with them over time. The following are the key elements of our model:

Significant Investment in Ongoing Product Development and Sales Automation - Our research and development investments enable us to rapidly build new products, continuously enhance our existing products, acquire and integrate technologies, and also help us obtain data-driven insights, and further automate and streamline our approach to customer acquisition.

Rapid and Efficient Acquisition of New Customers - By building products that are affordablefree to try and easy to adopt and use, we are able to attract customers rapidly without relying primarily on a traditional salesforce, andsales force, thereby significantly lowering the cost of customer acquisition significantly.
acquisition.

Continued Expansion - Our success is dependent on our ability to expand the relationship with our existing base of customers through the addition of more users, teams and products.
We have introduced premium and enterprise editions for certain cloud products that offer additional capabilities to serve customers of any size and further expand our customer relationship.

Predictability of Sales - As we are not dependent on a traditional salesforcesales force and primarily rely on a high-velocity, low-friction online distribution model, we have historically experienced a linear quarterly sales cycle. Once teams begin working together with our software, we become embedded in their workflows, becoming a system for engagement within organizations. This degree of integration makes our products difficult to displace and provides us with steady and predictable revenue.
While certain events related to our decision to transition server customers to other deployment options over time drive short-term variability, the transition to these other deployment options will only drive further predictability of revenue over the long-term.

Positive Free Cash Flow - By reducing customer acquisition costs and establishing a revenue model that has scaled linearly, our model has allowed us to have positive free cash flow for more thaneach of the last 1316 fiscal years.

The Atlassian Cloud Platform

Our products are built upon a platform of shared components and services that provide a common system for user management, add-ons, search, user interfaces and more. Over time, ourOur strategy is to build more common micro services and functionality shared across our platform. This approach allows us to develop and introduce new products faster, as we can leverage common foundational services that already exist. This also allows our products to more seamlessly integrate with one another, and provides customers better experiences when using multiple products.


One component of our platform is the Atlassian User Interface (“AUI”), a library of JavaScript, CSS, templates and other resources for quickly creating interfaces that conform to Atlassian design guidelines. AUI is integrated into our products, and is also available externally so third-party developers can build products that conform to our interface specifications.

Item 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
Our mission is to unleash the potential of every team.
Our products help teams organize, discuss and complete shared work—their work — delivering superior outcomes for their organizations.
Our products serve teams of all shapes and sizes, in virtually every industry. Our primary products include Jira Software and Jira Work Management for planning and project management, Confluence for content creation and sharing, Trello for capturing and adding structure to fluid, fast-forming work for teams, Jira Service Management for team service, management and support applications, Jira Align for enterprise agile planning, and Bitbucket for code sharing and management,management. Together, our products form an integrated system for organizing, discussing and Jira Service Desk for servicecompleting shared work, becoming deeply entrenched in how people collaborate and support applications.how organizations run.
We begin with a deep investment in product development to create and refine high-quality and versatile products that users love. By making our products affordable for organizations of all sizes and transparently sharing our pricing online for most of our products, we do not follow the common practice of opaque pricing and ad hoc discounting that is typical in the enterprise software industry. We pursue customer volume, targeting every organization, regardless of size, industry, or geography.

This allows us to operate at unusual scale for an enterprise software company, with more than 236,000 customers across virtually every industry sector in approximately 200 countries as of June 30, 2021. Our customers range from small organizations that have adopted one of our products for a small group of users, to over two-thirds of the Fortune 500, many of which use a combination of our products across thousands of users.
To reach this expansive market, we primarily distribute and sell our products online without traditional sales infrastructure where our customers can get started in minutes without the need for assistance. We focus on enabling a self-service, low-friction model that makes it easy for customers to try, adopt and use our products. By making our products simple, powerful, affordable and easy to adopt, we generate demand from word-of-mouth and viral expansion within organizations.
Our culture of innovation, transparency and dedication to customer service drives our success in implementing and refining this unique approach. We believe this approach creates a self-reinforcing effect that fosters innovation, quality, customer happiness, scale and profitability. As a result of this strategy, we invest significantly more in research and development activities than in traditional sales activities relative to other enterprise software companies.
A substantial majority of our sales are automated through our website, including sales of our products through our channelsolution partners and resellers. Our solution partners and resellers primarily focus on customers in regions that require local language support.support and other customized needs. Sales through indirect channels comprised approximately 33%40% of total revenuesrevenue for fiscal 2018.year 2021. We plan to continue to invest in our partner programs to help us enter and grow in new markets, complementing our automated, low-touch approach.

We generate revenues primarily in the form of subscriptions, maintenance, perpetual licenselicenses and other sources. Customers typically pay us 100%Subscription revenues consist primarily of fees earned from subscription-based arrangements for providing customers the right to use our software in a cloud-based-infrastructure that we provide. Subscription revenues also include the sale of on-premises term licenses, consisting of software licensed for a specified period and support and maintenance service that is bundled with the license for the term of the initial perpetual license fee as maintenanceperiod. From time to time, we make changes to our product offerings, prices and pricing plans for our products which may impact the growth rate of our revenue, annually, beginning in the first year. our deferred revenue balances, and customer retention.
Maintenance provides our customers with access to newunspecified future updates, upgrades and enhancements and technical product features and customer support.support for perpetual license products on an if-and-when available basis. Maintenance revenue combined with aour subscription revenue business, through our Cloudcloud and Data Centerdata center products, results in a large recurring revenue base. In each of the past three fiscal years, more than 75%80% of our total revenues have been of a recurring nature from either maintenance fees or subscriptions.
Customers typically pay us maintenance fees annually, at the beginning of each year. We typically recognize revenue on the license portion of perpetual license arrangements and term license agreements once the customer obtains control of the license, which is generally upon delivery of the license, and for maintenance and subscriptions, revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Any invoice amounts or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from subscriptions or maintenance are included in our deferred revenue balance. The deferred revenue balance is influenced by several factors, including customer decisions around the timing of renewals, length of contracts and invoice timing within the period.
In July 2020, we acquired Mindville, an asset and configuration management company based in Sweden. With the acquisition of Mindville, Atlassian brought critical configuration management database capabilities to Jira Service Management to better meet the needs of its IT customers. The consideration was comprised of approximately $36.4 million in cash.
In October 2020, we announced that beginning in February 2021, we will no longer sell new perpetual licenses for our products, or upgrades to these on-premises versions of our products starting in February 2022, and plan to end maintenance and support for these on-premises versions of our products in February 2024. We will proactively help our customers transition to other versions of our products with our migration tools and programs, customer support teams, and pricing and packaging options.
In February 2021, we acquired Chartio, a data analytics and visualization tool that allows users to create dashboards and charts using their various data sources. The acquisition of Chartio brought an analytics and data visualization solution to Atlassian’s products, including Jira Software, Jira Align and Jira Service Management. The consideration was comprised of approximately $45.0 million in cash and $0.6 million in equity.
Key Business Metrics
We reviewutilize the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions.
Customers
We have successfully demonstrated a history of growing both our customer base and spend per customer through growth in users, purchase of new licenses and adoption of new products. We believe that our ability to attract new customers and grow our customer base drives our success as a business.
As of June 30, 2018,2021, we had 125,796236,118 customers. With these customers using our software today, we are able to reach a vast number of users, gather insights to refine our offerings and generate growing revenue by expanding within our customer base. No single customer contributed more than 1%5% of our total revenues during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.2021.
We define the number of customers at the end of any particular period as the number of organizations with unique domains that have at least one active and paid license or subscription of our products for which they paid approximately $10 or more per month. While a single customer may have distinct departments, operating segments, or subsidiaries with multiple active licenses or subscriptions of our products, if the product deployments share a unique domain name, we only include the customer once for purposes of calculating this metric. We define active licenses as those licenses that are under an active maintenance or subscription contract as of period end.

Our customers, as defined in this metric, have generated substantially all of our revenue in each of the periods presented. Including organizations who have only adopted our free or starter products, the active use of our products extends well beyond our 125,796236,118 customers.
The following table sets forth our number of customers:

** Includes an increase in customers of 14,263 due primarily to Bitbucket Cloud pricing changes as we moved from a tiered pricing model to a per-user pricing model. As a result, certain organizations using Bitbucket Cloud who had not previously met our definition of a “customer” now qualify as customers.16,456 Trello single-user accounts.

These payments were previously, but no longer, reported in cash provided by operating activities. As a result, free cash flow is not affected by this change.
Free cash flow increased by $97.9$264.6 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 20182021 as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 as a result of an increase of $267.1 million in net cash provided by operating activities increased to $311.5and a decrease of $4.2 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 from $199.4 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. While net loss before income tax increased to $65.8 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 from $59.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the increase in free cash flow was primarily attributable to an increase in adjustments for non-cash charges including an increase in share-based payment expense of $25.4 million,capital expenditures, offset by an increase of depreciation and amortizationlease obligation payments of $17.9 million, an addition of $12.4 million in the net unrealized loss on exchange derivative and capped calls, and a net increase of $53.1 million in our operating assets and liabilities.$6.7 million.

A. Operating Results of Operations
Components of Results of Operations
Sources of Revenues
We primarily derive our revenues from subscription, perpetual license, maintenance and other sources.
Subscription revenues
Subscription revenues consist primarily of fees earned from subscription-based arrangements for providing customers the right to use our software in a cloud-based-infrastructure that we provide. We also sell on-premises term license agreements for our data center products, which are software licensed for a specified period, whichand includes support and maintenance service that is bundled with the license for the term of the license period. Subscription revenues are driven primarily by the number and size of active licenses, the type of product and the price of the licenses. Our subscription-based arrangements generally have a contractual term of one to twelve months, with a majority being one month. Subscription feesFor cloud-based services, subscription revenue is recognized ratably as services are generally non-refundable regardlessperformed, commencing with the date the service is made available to customers. For data center products, we recognize revenue upfront for the portion that relates to the delivery of the actual use of the service. As on-premises term license support and maintenance service is never sold on a stand-alone basis we cannot establish fair value separately for these services. Instead we recognize the license and support and maintenance revenue ratably as the support and maintenancerelated revenue is recognized ratably as the services are delivered over the term of the contract, commencing with the date the license is delivered to the customer, the support term has commenced, and all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
Perpetual license revenues
Perpetual license revenues represent fees earned from the license of software to customers for use on the customer’s premises. Software is licensed on a perpetual basis, subject to a standard licensing agreement. Perpetual license revenues consist of the revenues recognized from sales of licenses to new customers, increases in the number of users within an existing customer and additional licenses to existing customers. We recognize revenue on the license portion of perpetual license arrangements on the date of product delivery in substantially all situations.

In the first year of a perpetual license, we receive maintenance revenues that are equal to the upfront cost of the license. For example, if a customer purchases a new Confluence Server license for 25 users, it would cost $700 for the license plus $700 for the first year of maintenance. After the first year, the customer may renew the software maintenance for an additional 12 months for $700.arrangement.
Maintenance revenues

51


Maintenance revenues represent fees earned from providing customers unspecified future updates, upgrades and enhancements and technical product support for perpetual license products on an if and when available basis. The first year of maintenance is purchased concurrently with the purchase of our perpetual licenses, and subsequent renewals extend for an additional year in most cases. Maintenance services are priced as a percentage of the total product sale, and a substantial majority of customers elect to renew software support contracts annually at our standard list maintenance renewal pricing for their software products. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the support period.

Perpetual license revenues
Perpetual license revenues represent fees earned from the perpetual licenses of software to customers for use on the customer’s premises. Software is licensed on a perpetual basis. Perpetual license revenues consist of the revenues recognized from sales of licenses to new customers and additional licenses to existing customers. We typically recognize revenue on the license portion of perpetual license arrangements once the customer obtains control of the license, which is generally upon delivery of the license.
Other revenues
Other revenues primarily include fees received for sales of third-party apps in the Atlassian MarketplaceMarketplace. Technical account management, consulting and for training services.services are also included in other revenues. Revenue from the sale of third-party vendor productsapps via Atlassian Marketplace is recognized net of the vendor liability portion, as we function as the agent in the relationship. Our portion of revenue on third-party sales is typically 25% and is recognized at the date of product delivery given that all of our obligations have been met at that time.time and on a net basis as we function as the agent in the relationship. Revenue from technical account management is recognized over the time period that the customer has access to the service. Revenue from consulting and training is recognized as delivered orover time as the rights to receive training expire.services are performed.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues primarily consists of employee-related costs, including share-based payment expense, associated with our customer support organization and data center operations, expenses related to hosting our cloud infrastructure, which includes third-party hosting fees and depreciation associated with computer equipment and software,software; compensation expenses for our employees, including share-based payment expense, consulting and contractors costs, associated with our customer support and infrastructure service teams; payment processing fees,fees; amortization of product technologiesacquired intangible assets; certain IT program fees; and facilities and related overhead costs. To support our cloud-based infrastructure, we utilize third-party managed hosting facilities and self-managed data centers in which we manage our own network equipment and systems.centers. We allocate share-based payment expense to personnel costs based on the expense category in which the employee works. We allocate overhead such as information technology infrastructure, rent and occupancy charges in each expense category based on headcount in that category. As such, general overhead expenses are reflected in cost of revenues and operating expense categories.
Our cost of revenues also includes amortization of acquired intangible assets, such as the amortization of the cost associated with an acquired company’s developed technology.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit is total revenues less total cost of revenues. Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenues. Gross margin can fluctuate from period to period as a result of changes in product and services mix.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are classified as research and development, marketing and sales, and general and administrative. For each functional category, the largest component is employee and labor-relatedcompensation expenses, which include salaries and bonuses, share-based payment expense, employee benefit costs, and contractor costs. We allocate overhead such as information technology infrastructure, rent, and occupancy charges in each expense category based on headcount in that category.
Research and development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation expense for our employees, including share-based payment expense, consulting and contractors costs, contract software development costs, certain IT program expenses, and facilities and related overhead costs. We continue to focus our research and development efforts on building new products, adding new features and services, integrating acquired technologies, increasing functionality, enhancing our cloud infrastructure and developing our mobile capabilities.

52


Marketing and sales
Marketing and sales expenses consist primarily of compensation expense for our employees, including share-based payment expense, consulting and contractors costs, marketing and sales programs, certain IT program expenses, and facilities and related overhead costs. Marketing programs consist of advertising, promotional events, corporate communications, brand building and product marketing activities such as online lead generation. Sales programs consist of activities and teams focused on supporting our solution partners and resellers, tracking channel sales activity, supporting and servicing our customers by helping them optimize their experience and expand the use of our products across their organizations and helping product evaluators learn how they can use our tools most effectively.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation expense for our employees, including share-based payment expense, for finance, legal, human resources and information technology personnel, consulting and contractors costs, certain IT program expenses, other corporate expenses and facilities and related overhead costs.
Share-based payment expense
We allocate share-based payment expense to personnel costs based on the expensefunctional category in which the employee works. We recognize our share-based payments as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations based on their grant date fair values and vesting periods.
We adhere to the accelerated method of expense recognition for share-based awards subject to graded vesting (i.e., when portions of the award vest at different dates throughout the vesting period). For example, for a grant vesting over four years, we treat the grant as multiple awards (sometimes referred to as “tranches”) and recognize the cost on a straight-line basis separately for each tranche. This results in the majority of the grant’s share-based payment expense being recognized in the first year of the grant rather than equally per year under a straight-line expense methodology.

We began granting RSUs in 2014. Prior to our IPO,initial public offering (“IPO”), we granted RSUs with both a time-based service condition and a liquidity condition. The time-based service condition for substantially all of these awards is satisfied over four years. The liquidity condition was satisfied upon the effectiveness of the registration statement related to our IPO. Pursuant to IFRS, we estimate the fair value of each award at the date of grant and recognize expense over the service period rather than starting expense recognition upon a liquidity event, as is the case under GAAP.U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018, 2017,2021 and 2016,2020 we recognized share-based payment expense of $162.9 million, $137.4$385.7 million and $75.5$313.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018,2021, the aggregate share-based payment expense remaining to be amortized to cost of revenues and operating expenses, over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years, was $133.2$326.8 million. We expect this share-based payment expense balance to be amortized as follows: $90.5$221.7 million during fiscal 2019; $32.4year 2022; $78.6 million during fiscal 2020; $9.3year 2023; $23.8 million during fiscal 2021year 2024 and $1.0$2.7 million thereafter. The expected amortization reflects only outstanding share awards as of June 30, 2018.
Research and development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, including share-based payment expense, contract software development costs and facilities and related overhead costs. We continue to focus our research and development efforts on building new products, adding new features and services, integrating acquired technologies, increasing functionality, enhancing our cloud infrastructure and developing our mobile capabilities.
Marketing and sales
Marketing and sales expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, including share-based payment expense, for our marketing and sales employees, marketing and sales programs and facilities and related overhead costs. Marketing programs consist of advertising, promotional events, corporate communications, brand building and product marketing activities such as online lead generation. Sales programs consist of activities and teams focused on supporting our partners, tracking channel sales activity, supporting and servicing our largest customers by helping optimize their experience across our product portfolio, helping customers expand their use of our products across their organizations and helping product evaluators learn how they can use our tools most effectively.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related expenses, including share-based payment expense, for finance, legal, human resources and information technology personnel, as well as external legal, accounting and other, professional fees, other corporate expenses and facilities and related overhead costs.2021.
Income taxes
Income taxes primarily consist of income taxes in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States, as well as income taxes in certain other foreign jurisdictions.
We generally conduct our international operations through wholly-owned subsidiaries and report our taxable income in various jurisdictions.
Net loss
We incurred a net loss on an IFRS basis in fiscal 2018 as we continuedyears 2021 and 2020, primarily due to make significant investments in researchthe marking to fair value of the exchange feature of the Notes and developmentrelated capped calls and technology infrastructurepartial settlements of the Notes and capped calls.

The overall increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense for employees and contractors of $26.8 million (which includes an increase of $5.1$31.3 million in share-based payment expense), an increase inhosting fees paid to third-party hosting costs of $19.4 million, an increase of $6.6 million in amortization of intangible assets,providers and an increase of $4.8$27.2 million in facilities and related overhead to support ourcompensation expenses for employees. These increases were offset by a decrease in depreciation expense of $12.1 million due to certain of our self-managed data center assets reaching the end of their useful lives as we transitioned to our third-party hosted cloud infrastructure.
We increased our headcount during the period to meet the higher demand for services from our customers. We expect to continue to invest in additional personnel as we scale.

General and administrative expenses increased $33.3 million, or 39%, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, compared to the fiscal year endedJune 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $21.0 million in compensation expense for employees and contractors, which included an increase of $11.4 million in share-based payment expenses, and an increase of $7.1 million in professional and outside services. Our general and administrative headcount increased during the period as we added personnel to support our growth. We also incurred additional expense related to being a publicly-traded company, including higher legal, corporate insurance and accounting costs as well as costs of achieving and maintaining compliance with public company regulations.

We reported a tax benefit of $17.1 million on pretax loss of $59.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, as compared to a tax benefit of $9.3 million on pretax income of $4.9 million for the fiscal year endedJune 30, 2016. Our effective tax rate substantially differed from the United Kingdom income tax rate of 19.8% primarily due to the recognition of significant permanent differences during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Significant permanent differences included a non-assessable non-operating item, foreign tax credits not utilized, nondeductible share-based payment expense, research and development incentives and taxes in foreign jurisdictions with a tax rate different than the United Kingdom statutory rate (Australia and the United States).
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 2018 we issued cash exchangeable senior notes in the aggregate principal amountAs of $1.0 billion. At June 30, 2018,2021, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1.4 billion,$919.2 million, short-term investments totaling $323.1$313.0 million and trade receivables totaling $46.1$173.5 million. Since our inception, we have primarily financed our operations through cash flows generated by operations.

We expect to increase our capital expenditures during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019 to support the growth in our business and operations, such as new office facilities. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spend on research and development efforts, employee headcount, marketing and sales activities, acquisitions of additional businesses and technologies, the introduction of new software and services offerings, enhancements to our existing software and services offerings and the continued market acceptance of our products.

Cash provided by operating activities has historically been affected by the amount of net income (loss)loss adjusted for non-cash expense items such as depreciation and amortization, depreciation of right-of-use assets, non-coupon impact related to the Notes and capped calls and expense associated with share-based awards, the timing of employee-related costs such as bonus payments, collections from our customers, which is our largest source of operating cash flows, income tax payment and changes in other working capital accounts.
Accounts impacting working capital consist of trade receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, trade and other payables, current provisions, and other non-current liabilities.current deferred revenue. Our working capital may be impacted by various factors in future periods, such as billings to customers for subscriptions, licenses and maintenance services and the subsequent collection of those billings or the amount and timing of certain expenditures.

Liquidity and Material Cash Requirements
We have access to a $1 billion senior unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $500 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facility”). We will use the net proceeds of the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing indebtedness. The Credit Facility matures in October 2025 and bears interest, at our option, at a base rate plus a margin up to 0.50% or LIBOR rate plus a spread of 0.875% to 1.50%, in each case with such margin being determined by our consolidated leverage ratio. We may draw from the Term Loan Facility up to five times within a 12-month period from the closing of the Term Loan Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid, and re-borrowed until its maturity, and we have the option to request an increase of $250 million in certain circumstances. The Credit Facility may be repaid at our option without penalty. As of June 30, 2021, no amounts have been drawn under the Credit Facility, and we are in compliance with all related covenants. Please refer to Note 16, “Debt,” to the net share settlementnotes to our consolidated financial statements for details of equity awardsthe Credit Facility.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, and borrowing capacity from the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future cash requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of $5.4 million.spend on research and development efforts, employee headcount, marketing and sales activities, acquisitions of additional businesses and technologies, the timing and extent of settlements of the Notes for cash payments, the introduction of new software and services offerings, enhancements to our existing software and services offerings and the continued market acceptance of our products.
Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, which includes all standards issued by the IASB and related interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our judgments and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect the financial results or the financial position reported in future periods.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2, in “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the notes to theour consolidated financial statements, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the accounting policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue Recognitionrecognition
We primarily derive revenues from subscription, maintenance, perpetual license, and training and other services.
We recognize revenue when evidenceRevenues are generally recognized upon the transfer of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the risks and rewardscontrol of ownership have been transferredpromised products or services provided to the customer,our customers, reflecting the amount of revenue and associated costs can be measured reliably, and collection of the related receivable is probable.
If, at the outset of an arrangement, revenue cannot be measured reliably,consideration we defer the recognition of revenue until the arrangement fee becomes due and payable by the customer. Additionally, if, at the outset of an arrangement, we determine that collectability is not probable, we defer the recognition of revenue until the earlier of when collectability becomes probableexpect to receive for those products or payment is received.services. We enter into arrangementscontracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The revenue recognition policy is consistent for sales generated directly with end users

as well ascustomers and sales generated indirectly through solution partners and resellers.
Revenues are recognized upon the application of the following steps:
1.Identification of the contract or contracts with a customer;
2.Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
3.Determination of the transaction price;
4.Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

60


5.Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of billing our customers. We receive payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in our contracts. Contract assets are recognized when performance is completed in advance of scheduled billings. Deferred revenue is recognized when billings are in advance of performance under the contract. Our revenue arrangements include standard warranty provisions that our products and services will perform and operate in all material respects, with the applicable published specifications, the financial impacts which have historically been and are expected to continue to be insignificant. Our contracts do not include a significant financing component.
Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require judgment.
We allocate the transaction price for each contract to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each performance obligation. We use judgment in determining the SSP for products and services. We typically determine an SSP range for our products and services which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. For all performance obligations other than perpetual and term licenses, we are able to determine SSP based on the observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. In instances where performance obligations do not have observable standalone sales, we utilize available information that may include market conditions, pricing strategies, the economic life of the software, and other observable inputs to estimate the price we would charge if the products and services were sold separately.
Our products are generally sold with a right of return, we may provide other credits or incentives, and in certain instances we estimate customer usage of our services, which are accounted for as variable consideration when determining the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period if additional information becomes available. Variable consideration was not material for the periods presented.
Recognition of revenue
Revenue recognition for indirectrecognized from contracts with customers is disaggregated into categories that depict how the same asnature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. We report our revenues in four categories: (i) subscription, (ii) maintenance, (iii) perpetual license, and (iv) other. In addition, we present revenue by geographic region in Note 15, “Revenue,” to the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
Subscription revenues
Subscription revenues consist primarily of fees earned from subscription-based arrangements for directproviding customers as the termsright to use our software in a cloud-based-infrastructure that we provide. We also sell on-premises term license agreements for our Data Center products, which are software licensed for a specified period, and includes support and maintenance service that is bundled with the license for the term of salethe license period. Subscription revenues are substantially the same.
In the absence of industry-specific software revenue recognition guidance under IFRS, we look to U.S. GAAP when establishing policies related to revenue recognition. Our revenue recognition policy considers the guidance provideddriven primarily by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition,number and FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements, where applicable, as authorized by International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimatessize of active licenses, the type of product and Errors.
Subscription revenue
Subscriptionthe price of the licenses. Our subscription-based arrangements generally have a contractual term of one to twelve months, with a majority being one month. For cloud-based services, subscription revenue is recognized ratably as services are performed, commencing with the date ourthe service is made available to customerscustomers. For on-premises term-based licenses, we recognize revenue upfront for the portion that relates to the delivery of the term license and all otherthe support and related revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.is recognized ratably as the services are delivered over the term of the arrangement.
Maintenance revenuerevenues
Maintenance revenues represent fees earned from providing customers unspecified future updates, upgrades and enhancements and technical product support for perpetual license products on an if and when available basis. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the support period.
Perpetual license revenue

Perpetual license revenue is recognizedrevenues
Perpetual license revenues represent fees earned from the license of software to customers for use on the datecustomer’s premises other than data denter products. Software is licensed on a perpetual basis. Perpetual license revenues consist of product delivery forthe revenues recognized from sales of licenses to new customers and additional licenses to existing customers. We typically recognize revenue on the license portion of perpetual license arrangements.arrangements once the customer obtains control of the license, which is generally upon delivery of the license.
Other revenuerevenues
Other revenues primarily include fees received for sales of third-party apps in the Atlassian Marketplace. Technical account management, consulting and training services are also included in other revenues. Revenue from the sale of third-party vendor products on ourapps via Atlassian Marketplace is recognized net of the vendor liability portion as we function as an agent in the relationship. Our portion of revenue is recognized at the date of product delivery given that all of our obligations have been met at that time and on a net basis as we do not have any future obligations.function as the agent in the relationship. Revenue from technical account management is recognized over the time period that the customer has access to the service. Revenue from consulting and training is recognized as delivered orover time as the rights to receive training expire.services are performed.
Multiple-element arrangementsBusiness combinations
ManyWe include the results of operations of the businesses that we acquire beginning from the acquisition date. We allocate the purchase price of our arrangements include purchasesacquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of both software related productsthe purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and services. For these software related multiple-element arrangements, we applyliabilities is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the residual methodbusiness combination and are expensed as incurred.
We use our best estimates and assumptions to determineaccurately assign fair value to the amountintangible assets acquired at the acquisition date. The estimation is primarily due to the judgmental nature of new software license revenuethe inputs to be recognized. We first allocatethe valuation models used to measure the fair value of each elementthese intangible assets, as well as the sensitivity of the respective fair values to the underlying significant assumptions. Our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. We use a software related multiple-element arrangement based on itsdiscounted cash flow method of the income approach to measure the fair value as determined by vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), with any remaining amount allocatedof these intangible assets. Assumptions used to estimate the software license. We determine VSOE based on our historical pricing for a specific product or service when sold separately and when a substantial majority of the selling prices for these services fall within a narrow range.
Cloud-based arrangements may be purchased alongside other services that are intended to be used with the cloud offering. These arrangements are considered to be non-software multiple-element arrangements. Accordingly, we allocate revenue to each element considered to be a separate unit of accounting using the relative selling prices of each unit.
The relative selling price for each element is based upon the following selling price hierarchy: VSOE if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor TPE are available. Historically, we have established VSOE for all non-software elements using the same methodology applied to software-related elements, as a substantial majority of the selling prices for these elements fall within a narrow range when sold separately. The application of VSOE methodologies requires judgment, including the determination of when to account for deliverables separately and how to allocate the total arrangement fee to its individual elements. Changes to the elements in our arrangements and our ability to establish VSOE for those elements may impact the timing of revenue recognition, which may result in a material change to the amount of revenue recorded in a given period.
If we enter into an arrangement with both software and non-software deliverables, we will first allocate the total arrangement consideration based on the relative selling prices of the software group of elements as a whole and the non-software elements. We then further allocate consideration within the software group in accordance with the residual method described above.
The revenue amounts allocated to each element are recognized when the revenue recognition criteria described above have been met for the respective element.

Share-based Payments
We recognize share-based payment expense for our equity-settled transactions, including employee and non-employee director share option and RSU awards based on fair value of the award atintangible assets include revenue growth rates, technology migration curve, customer attrition rates and discount rates. These assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.
During the grant date. We recognizemeasurement period, which may be up to one year from the expense over the period in which service conditions are fulfilled, with each portiondate of an award that vests on a different date (i.e., each tranche) being accounted for separately, which requires separate measurement and attribution. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which actual vesting has occurred along with our best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The share-based payment expense for each reporting period reflects the movement in cumulative expense recognized at the beginning and end of that period. We do not recognize expense for shares that do not ultimately vest. As required under IFRS,acquisition, we follow the accelerated method of expense recognition for share-based awards, as the awards vest in tranches over the vesting period.
We measure share-based payment expense by referencemay record adjustments to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to share-based payments may impact expenses, equity and the carrying amounts of liabilities within a given period.
We estimate a forfeiture rate in calculating the amount of share-based payment expense we recognize in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We estimate our forfeiture rate based on an analysis of our actual forfeitures and we will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of the forfeiture rate based on actual forfeiture experience, analysis of employee turnover and other factors. Changes in the estimated forfeiture rate can have a significant impact on our share-based payment expense as the cumulative effect of adjusting the rate is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed. If a revised forfeiture rate is higher than the previously estimated forfeiture rate, an adjustment is made that will result in a decrease to the share-based payment expense recognized in our financial statements. If a revised forfeiture rate is lower than the previously estimated forfeiture rate, an adjustment is made that will result in an increase to the share-based payment expense recognized in our financial statements.
As part of our acquisition of Trello, we exchanged unvested stock options held by Trello employees for unvested share options of the company. Prior to our IPO, we granted share options to certain employees as part of their compensation package. We estimate the fair value of share options using the Black-Scholes option-valuation model.
Our Black-Scholes option-valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our share-based payment expense could be materially different in the future. The following assumptions were used as inputs for the option-valuation model:
Fair value of underlying shares—Prior to our IPO, there was no active external or internal market for our shares at the date of the grant. In order to determine the fair value of our restricted shares prior to our IPO, we enlisted the assistance of a third-party valuation firm. The valuations of our shares were determined in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. Following our IPO, we refer to the closing stock price on the grant date to determine the fair value of the underlying Class A ordinary shares.

Expected volatility—As there was no active external or internal market for our shares prior to our IPO, we estimated the expected volatility for our shares by taking the average historic price volatility for a group of publicly traded industry peers. Our industry peers consist of several public companies in the technology industry that are similar to us in size and stage of life cycle. Following our IPO, we estimate expected future volatility based on the historical volatility of our stock price.

Expected term—We determined the expected term based on the average period the share options are expected to remain outstanding.

Risk-free interest rate—We based the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on zero-coupon government issued securities in the country in whose currency the exercise price was expressed over the expected term of the option.

Dividend yield—Prior to our IPO, the restricted shares underlying our share options were not entitled to dividends. As such, we used an expected dividend yield of zero. Following our IPO, we do not anticipate

paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore use an expected dividend yield of zero in the option pricing model.
Business Combinations
Accounting for business combinations requires us to make significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments at the acquisition date with respect tothese tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on additional information obtained affecting the fair value of those assets and liabilities, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, uncertain tax positions are initially established in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. We continue to collect information and reevaluate these provisional estimates and assumptions as deemed reasonable by management. We record any adjustments to these provisional estimates and assumptions against goodwill provided they arise within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These estimatesGoodwill is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. We perform our annual goodwill impairment test at the level of our operating segment as there are no lower levels within the Group at which goodwill is monitored. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the operating segment. When the recoverable amount of the operating segment is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in valuing certainfuture periods.
Intangible assets
We acquire intangible assets separately or in connection with business combinations. Intangible assets are measured at cost initially. All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization and goodwillare amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The amortization expense on intangible assets is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the expense category, consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

62


The estimated useful lives for each intangible asset class are as follows:
Patents, trademarks and other rights5 - 12 years
Customer relationships3 - 10 years
Acquired developed technology4 - 6 years
Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. When the recoverable amount of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, we have acquired include butassess whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, we estimate the asset’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are not limited to:largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit (“CGU”)’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future expected cash flows from sales, other customer contracts and acquired developed technologies;

the acquired company’s trade name, trademark and existing customer relationships, as well as assumptions about the useful livesare discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the acquired trade name, trademarktime value of money and customer relationships;the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.

Leases
uncertain tax positions;Group as lessee
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Our lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Lease payments under our lease arrangements are primarily fixed. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities and are expensed as incurred.

discount ratesLease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is our incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in our leases is not readily determinable. Our incremental borrowing rate is estimated future cash flows.to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Our lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We generally use the base, non-cancelable, lease term when determining lease liabilities. We reassess the lease term if and when a significant event or change in circumstances occurs within the control of the Group.

Unanticipated eventsRight-of-use assets are recognized at cost at the lease commencement date. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct cost incurred, any prepaid lease payments less lease incentives and circumstances may occur that may affectan estimate of restoration cost. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the accuracy or validityshorter of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.
Goodwill, Intangibles,the lease term and Other Long-Lived Assetsthe estimated useful lives of the assets.
We make significant estimates, assumptions,apply the short-term lease recognition exemption for our short-term leases and judgments when valuing goodwillleases of low-value assets. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets are primarily comprised of office equipment. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Taxation
Current tax
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise amounts expected to be recovered or paid to Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”), the Australian Taxation Office, the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other intangible assets in connection withfiscal authorities relating to the initial purchase price allocation of an acquired entity, as well as when evaluating impairment of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets on an ongoing basis. These estimatescurrent or prior reporting periods, which are based upon a number of factors, including historical experience, market conditions, and information obtained from the management of the acquired company. Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, cash flows that an asset is expected to generate in the future, discount rates, the time and expense that would be necessary to recreate the assets, and the expected use of the acquired assets. The amounts and useful lives assigned to identified intangible assets impacts the amount and timing of future amortization expense.
We assess impairment of all assetsunpaid at each reporting datedate. Current tax is payable on taxable income that differs from the consolidated statements of operations in the financial statements due to permanent and temporary timing differences. The calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by evaluating conditions specific to us and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. These include product performance, technology, economic and political environments, and future product expectations. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amountend of the asset is determined. No indicators of impairment existed that were significant enough to warrant such assets to be tested for impairment in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016.reporting period.
Income Tax

63


Deferred tax
We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in ourthe consolidated financial statements and their corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable income. Deferred tax however is not recognized on the initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of an asset or liability (other than in a business combination) in a transaction that affects neither tax nor accounting income.
We recognize deferredDeferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with our investments in our subsidiaries and associates, except where we are able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax liabilities are generally provided for in full.
We recognize deferredDeferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future and it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income, based on our forecast of future operating results.results of operations. Deferred tax assets are adjusted for significant non-taxable income, expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss or credit. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
We calculate deferredDeferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at the tax rates and in accordance with laws that we expectare expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided the tax rates and laws are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of ourthe reporting period. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each

reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and we intend to settle our current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense (benefit) in ourthe consolidated statements of comprehensive income,operations, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) or equity, respectively. Where deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
Our corporate structureDeferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences for which management considers it is probable that future taxable income will be available to utilize those temporary differences. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and intercompany arrangements alignthe level of future taxable income, together with our expanding internationalfuture tax-planning strategies. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable income depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows, future business activities. Theexpectations, capital expenditures, dividends, and other capital management transactions. Management judgment is also required in relation to the application of theincome tax lawslegislation, which involves complexity and an element of various jurisdictionsuncertainty. Where management judgment is found to our international business activities is subject to interpretation. The taxing authoritiesbe misplaced, some or all of the jurisdictions in which we operaterecognized deferred tax asset and liability carrying amounts may challenge our methodologies for valuing developed technology or intercompany arrangements, including our transfer pricing, or determine the manner in which we operate our business is not consistent with the manner in which we report our income to the jurisdictions. If such a disagreement were to occur, and our positions were not sustained, we could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties,require adjustment, resulting in higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows and lower overall profitability of our operations.
New accounting standards not yet adopted
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contract with Customers, was issued in May 2014, and amended in April 2016, and establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goodscorresponding credit or services to customers.
The new revenue standard supersedes all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Either a full retrospective application or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The standard is applicable for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. We have assessed the new standard, including completing our contract reviews and evaluation of the incremental costs of obtaining a contract. Based on our assessment, we will be adopting the requirements of the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, utilizing the full retrospective method of transition.
The primary impact of adopting the new standard relates to our on-premises term-based licenses, as under IFRS 15, the requirement to have vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) for undelivered elements is eliminated. Our term-based licenses include the delivery of software and support services as well as unspecified future updates. Under our current policies, we recognize revenue for these contracts ratably over the life of the service period. In contrast, under IFRS 15, we will estimate the standalone selling price associated with the software license and the support services separately and recognize license revenue upon delivery of the initial software at the outset of the arrangement. Upon adoption, unused maintenance upon server product upgrades will be allocated between maintenance, perpetual license and other revenue. Under our current policy it is allocated in-full to perpetual license revenue.

The impact of adopting the new standard as it relatescharge to the incremental costs of obtaining a contract was not material to our fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 financial statements.

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases, which supersedes the existing leases standard, IAS 17, Leases, and related interpretations. The standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize all leases with a term of more than 12 months, as assets and liabilities on its statement of financial position. The standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees and is effective for us beginning for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, though early adoption is permitted for companies that early adopt IFRS 15. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on our consolidated financial statements.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

Research and Development
Our research and development organization is primarily responsible for design, development, testing and delivery of our products and platform. It is also responsible for our customer services platforms, including billing and support, our Marketplace platform, and marketing and sales systems that power our automated distribution model.
As a company, we prioritize research and development above all other operating investments. Over the last threetwo fiscal years, we invested $720.5$1,269.0 million in research and development activities, excluding share-based compensation, translating to 36.9%34.3% of the revenue generated over the same period. During this period, we successfully launched severalreleased new innovations including the introduction of three purpose-built versions, of Jira (Jira Software, Jira Service Deskfeatures, and Jira Core)cloud platform capabilities to drive existing customer success and Data Center products for Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket.expansion as well as attract new customers to our products.
As of June 30, 2018,2021, over 50% of our employees were involved in research and development activities. Our research and development organization is globallyprimarily distributed across fiveseven locations: Sydney, Australia, the San Francisco Bay Area, California, New York, New York, Austin, Texas, Bengaluru, India, Gdansk, Poland, and Bengaluru, India. In addition, we conduct research and development activities at our partner location in Gdansk, Poland.Ankara, Turkey.
Our research and development organization consists of flexible and dynamic teams that follow agile development methodologies to enable rapid product releases across our various platforms: Cloud, Servercloud, server and Data Center.data center. In addition to investing in our internal development teams, we invest heavily in our developer ecosystem to enable external software developers to build features and solutions on top of our platform. Given our relentless focus on the customer, we work closely with our customers to develop our products, and have designed a development process that incorporates the feedback that matters most—most from our users. From maintaining an active online community to measuring user satisfaction for our products, we are able to address our users’ greatest needs.

Intellectual Property
We protect our intellectual property through a combination of trademarks, domain names, copyrights, trade secrets and patents, as well as contractual provisions and restrictions governing access to our proprietary technology.
We registered ‘‘Atlassian’’ as a trademark in the United States, Australia, the European Union,EU, Russia, China, Japan, Switzerland, Norway, Singapore, Israel, Korea, and Canada. We have also haveregistered or filed otherfor trademark applicationsregistration of product-related trade names and logos in the United States, Australia, the European Union,EU, Brazil, Russia, India, and China, and certain other jurisdictions, and will pursue additional trademark registrations to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost effective.
As of June 30, 2018,2021, we had 21219 issued patents and 70have over 261 applications pending in the United States. We had no issued patents oralso have a number of patent applications pending in jurisdictions outside ofbefore the United States.European Patent Office. These patents and patent applications seek to protect proprietary inventions relevant to our business. We intend to pursue additional patent protection to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost effective.
We are the registered holder of a variety of domain names that include ‘‘Atlassian’’ and similar variations.
In addition to the protection provided by our registered intellectual property rights, we protect our intellectual property rights by imposing contractual obligations on third parties who develop or access our technology. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, contractors and business partners. Our employees, consultants and contractors are also subject to invention assignment agreements, pursuant to which we obtain rights to technology that they develop for us. We further protect our rights in our proprietary technology and intellectual property through restrictive license and service use provisions in both the general and product-specific terms of use on our website and in other business contracts.
D. Trend Information
We operate with a long-term mindset to drive durable growth measured over decades.
We introduced free cloud editions across our core products - Jira Software, Confluence and Jira Service Management - to make it easier for teams to try and use our products. We also introduced Atlassian Cloud Enterprise, to provide enhanced capabilities to fit the needs of customers of any size. These editions are the direct result of our multi-year investment in our cloud platform.

65


Migrating our larger customers to the cloud is one of our most important priorities over the next several years. Consistent with our strategy, our server business is expected to contract. As a result, we expect perpetual license revenue to continue to decline. Maintenance revenue is expected to decline as server customers migrate to our cloud and data center offerings. Subscription revenue is expected to increase and continue to be our primary driver of revenue growth.
While COVID-19 did not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our business, results of operations, and financial position will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. For example, while our diverse customer base is a competitive advantage for us and helps fuel our low-friction flywheel sales model, we have revenue exposure to customers who are small- and medium-sized businesses and to industries that may be disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Also, a majority of our cloud customers choose to be billed on a monthly basis and many of these customers are small and medium-sized businesses that may be adversely impacted by COVID-19. In addition, we may experience elongated sales cycles and extended payment terms and concessions as the economic and social impacts of COVID-19 become more fully realized.
We will continue investing to pursue the large market opportunities ahead of us, despite macroeconomic headwinds and slower revenue growth. We expect to invest in additional personnel as we scale, with the majority in research and development. Effective April 2021, we removed the one-year cliff for our ongoing RSU grants to existing employees, which will vest evenly over four years on a quarterly basis. We expect our share-based payment expenses to increase in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 as we continue to invest in our team and additional personnel. We plan to continue to invest in our platform, cloud services, migration tools, new product initiatives, and enhancements across the cloud portfolio. We expect our operating income and operating cash flow to decrease in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.
Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this annual report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events for the current fiscal year that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our revenues, income, profitability, liquidity or capital reserves, or that caused the disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results of operations or financial conditions.
E. Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsCritical Accounting Estimates
At June 30, 2018, 2017The Group based its assumptions and 2016,estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Determining the SSP for products and services requires estimates and assumptions. We typically determine a SSP range for our products and services which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. For all performance obligations other than perpetual and term licenses, we didare able to determine SSP based on the observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. In instances where performance obligations do not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entitiesobservable standalone sales, we utilize available information that may include market conditions, pricing strategies, the economic life of the software, and other observable inputs to estimate the price we would have been established forcharge if the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other purposes. Other than operating leases for office space, we have not engaged in off-balance sheet financing arrangements.products and services were sold separately.
F. Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our principal contractual commitmentsobligations primarily consist of obligations under our long-term debt relating to principal and interest payments, minimum lease payments relating to operatingNotes, leases for office space, and contractual commitments for hosting services. services and capital purchase obligations for the construction or purchase of property and equipment.

Code.
The 2015 Plan permits us to grant options that are intended to qualify as incentive share options under Section 422 of the Code and options that do not so qualify. The per share exercise price of each option will be determined by our compensationCompensation and leadership development committeeLeadership Development Committee but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a Class A ordinary share on the date of grant. An incentive share option that is granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our shares, or a 10% owner, must have a per share exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value of a Class A ordinary share on the date of grant. The term of each option will be fixed by our compensationCompensation and leadership development committeeLeadership Development Committee and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of an incentive share option held by a 10% owner). Our compensationCompensation and leadership development committeeLeadership Development Committee will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised. To the extent required for incentive share option treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares that first become exercisable by an option holder during any calendar year must not exceed $100,000. To the extent that any option exceeds this limit, it will constitute a nonqualifiednon-qualified share option.


Our compensationCompensation and leadership development committeeLeadership Development Committee may award share appreciation rights subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. Share appreciation rights entitle the recipient to Class A ordinary shares, or cash, equal to the value of the appreciation in our share price over the exercise price. The per share exercise price may not be less than 100% of fair market value of a share on the date of grant. The term of a share appreciation right may not exceed ten years.

Our compensationCompensation and leadership development committeeLeadership Development Committee may award restricted Class A ordinary shares and RSUs to participants subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with us through a specified vesting period. Our compensationCompensation and leadership development committeeLeadership Development Committee may also grant Class A ordinary shares that are free from any restrictions under the 2015 Plan. Unrestricted Class A ordinary shares may be granted to participants in recognition of past services or for other valid consideration and may be issued in lieu of cash compensation due to such participant.

Our compensationCompensation and leadership development committeeLeadership Development Committee may grant performance share awards to participants that entitle the recipient to receive awards of Class A ordinary shares upon the achievement of certain performance goals and such other conditions as our compensationCompensation and leadership development committeeLeadership Development Committee shall determine. Our compensationCompensation and leadership development committeeLeadership Development Committee may grant dividend equivalent rights to participants that entitle the recipient to receive credits for dividends that would be paid if the recipient had held a specified number of Class A ordinary shares.

Our compensationCompensation and leadership development committeeLeadership Development Committee may grant cash bonuses under the 2015 Plan to participants, subject to the achievement of certain performance goals.

Our compensationCompensation and leadership development committeeLeadership Development Committee may grant awards of restricted shares, RSUs, performance shares or cash-based awards under the 2015 Plan that are intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code. These awards will only vest or become payable upon the attainment of performance goals that are established by our compensationCompensation and leadership development committeeLeadership Development Committee and related to one or more performance criteria. The performance criteria that could be used with respect to any such awards include: total shareholder return, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, net income (loss) (either before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization), changes in the market price of our shares, economic value-added, funds from operations or similar measure, sales or revenue or bookings, acquisitions or strategic transactions, operating income (loss), cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow), return on capital, assets, equity, or investment, return on sales, gross or net profit levels, productivity, expense, margins, operating efficiency, customer satisfaction, working capital, earnings (loss) per share of our shares, sales or market shares, number of customers and number of average users, any of which may be measured in absolute terms, as compared to any incremental increase or as compared to results of a peer group.

The 2015 Plan provides that upon the effectiveness of a “sale event,” as defined in the 2015 Plan, an acquirer or successor entity may assume, continue or substitute for the outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan. To the extent that awards granted under the 2015 Plan are not assumed or continued or substituted by the successor entity, all unvested and/or unexercisable awards with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions granted under the 2015 Plan shall fully accelerate, and all awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and nonforfeitable in the plan administrator's discretion or to the extent specified in the applicable award agreement, in each case prior to the effectiveness of the sale event and then shall terminate. In the event of such termination, individuals holding options and share appreciation rights will be permitted to exercise such options and share appreciation rights (to the extent exercisable) prior to the sale event. In addition, in connection with the termination of the 2015 Plan upon a sale event, we may make or provide for a cash payment to participants holding vested and exercisable options and share appreciation rights equal to the difference between the per share cash consideration payable to shareholders in the sale event and the exercise price of the options or share appreciation rights.

The accumulated payroll deductions of any employee who is not a participant on the last day of an offering period will be refunded. An employee's rights under the ESPP terminate upon voluntary withdrawal from the plan or when the employee ceases employment with us for any reason.

The ESPP may be terminated or amended by our compensationCompensation and leadership development committeeLeadership Development Committee or board of directors at any time.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers to indemnify them to the maximum extent allowed under applicable law. These agreements indemnify these individuals against certain costs, charges, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses incurred by such director in the execution or discharge of his duties. These agreements do not indemnify our directors against any liability attaching to such individuals in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company of which he or she is a director, which would be rendered void under the Companies Act.


80


We have obtained insurance policies under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, coverage is provided to our directors and executive officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or executive officer, including claims relating to public securities matters, and to us with respect to payments that may be made by us to these directors and executive officers pursuant to our indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, executive officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

E. Taxation


Material U.K.United Kingdom Tax Considerations


The comments set out below are based on current United Kingdom tax law as applied in England and HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”)HMRC practice (which may not be binding on HMRC) as of the date of this annual report, both of which are subject to change, possibly with retrospective effect. They are intended as a general guide and apply only to our shareholders resident and, in the case of an individual, domiciled for tax purposes in the United Kingdom and to whom “split year” treatment does not apply (except insofar as express reference is made to the treatment of non-United Kingdom residents), who hold Class A ordinary shares as an investment and who are the absolute beneficial owners thereof. The discussion does not address all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in the Class A ordinary shares. Certain categories of shareholders, including those carrying on certain financial activities, those subject to specific tax regimes or benefittingbenefiting from certain reliefs or exemptions, those connected with us, those that own (or are deemed to own) 5% or more of our shares and/or voting power (either alone or together with connected persons) and those for whom the Class A ordinary shares are employment-related securities may be subject to special rules and this summary does not apply to such shareholders and any general statements made in this disclosure do not take them into account. This summary does not address any inheritance tax considerations.

This summary is for general information only and is not intended to be, nor should it be considered to be, legal or tax advice to any particular investor. It does not address all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to specific investors in light of their particular circumstances or to investors subject to special treatment under U.K.United Kingdom tax law. In particular:


Taxation of Dividends


We will not be required to withhold amounts on account of United Kingdom tax at source when paying a dividend.


Individuals


UKUnited Kingdom resident and domiciled holders do not have to pay tax on the first £2,000 of dividend income received in the 2018/20192021/2022 tax year (the "dividend allowance"). However tax will be levied on any dividends received over the dividend allowance at 7.5% on dividend income within the basic rate band, 32.5% on dividend income within the higher rate band and 38.1% on dividend income within the additional rate band.


Corporate Shareholders


Although shareholders who are within the charge to corporation tax would strictly be subject to corporation tax on dividends paid by us (subject to special rules for such shareholders that are “small” companies), generally such dividends will fall within an exempt class and will not be subject to corporation tax (provided certain conditions are met and anti-avoidance rules are satisfied). However, each shareholder's position will depend on its own individual circumstances and shareholders within the charge to corporation tax should consult their own professional advisers.


Non-Residents


A shareholder resident outside the United Kingdom may also be subject to foreign taxation on dividend income under local law. Shareholders who are not resident for tax purposes in the United Kingdom should obtain their own tax advice concerning tax liabilities on dividends received from us.


Taxation of Capital Gains on Disposals of Class A ordinary shares


U.K.United Kingdom Shareholders


Shareholders who are resident in the United Kingdom, and individual shareholders who are temporarily non-resident and subsequently resume residence in the United Kingdom within a certain time, may depending on their circumstances and the availability of exemptions or reliefs (including, for example, the annual exempt amount

for individuals), be liable to United Kingdom taxation on chargeable gains in respect of gains arising from a sale or other disposal (or deemed disposal) of the Class A ordinary shares.


Non-U.K.84



Non-United Kingdom Shareholders


An individual holder who is not a United Kingdom resident shareholder will not be liable to United Kingdom capital gains tax on chargeable gains realized on the disposal of his or hertheir Class A ordinary shares unless such shareholder carries on (whether solely or in partnership) a trade, profession or vocation in the United Kingdom through a branch or agency in the United Kingdom to which the shares are attributable. In these circumstances, such shareholder may, depending on his or hertheir individual circumstances, be chargeable to United Kingdom capital gains tax on chargeable gains arising from a disposal of his or hertheir shares.


A corporate holder of shares who is not a United Kingdom resident shareholder will not be liable for United Kingdom corporation tax on chargeable gains realized on the disposal of its shares unless it carries on a trade in the United Kingdom through a permanent establishment to which the shares are attributable. In these circumstances, a disposal of shares by such shareholder may give rise to a chargeable gain or an allowable loss for the purposes of United Kingdom corporation tax.


Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax


The statements in this section titled “Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (“SDRT”)” are intended as a general guide to the current United Kingdom stamp duty and SDRT position. The discussion below relates to shareholders wherever resident, but investors should note that certain categories of person are not liable to stamp duty or SDRT and others may be liable at a higher rate or may, although not primarily liable for tax, be required to notify and account for SDRT under the Stamp Duty Reserve Tax Regulations 1986.

General


Except in relation to depositary receipt systems and clearance services (to which the special rules outlined below apply):


(i) No stamp duty or SDRT will arise on the issue of Class A ordinary shares in registered form by us.


(ii) An agreement to transfer Class A ordinary shares will normally give rise to a charge to SDRT at the rate of 0.5% of the amount or value of the consideration payable for the transfer. SDRT is, in general, payable by the purchaser.


(iii) Instruments transferring Class A ordinary shares will generally be subject to stamp duty at the rate of 0.5% of the consideration given for the transfer (rounded up to the next £5). The purchaser normally pays the stamp duty.


(iv) If a duly stamped transfer completing an agreement to transfer is produced within six years of the date on which the agreement is made (or, if the agreement is conditional, the date on which the agreement becomes unconditional), any SDRT already paid is generally repayable, normally with interest, and any SDRT charge yet to be paid is cancelled.


Depositary Receipt Systems and Clearance Services


UKUnited Kingdom domestic law provides that where our Class A ordinary shares are issued or transferred to a depositary receipt system or clearance service (or their nominees or agents) SDRT (in the case of an issue of shares) and stamp duty or SDRT (in the case of a transfer of shares) may be payable, broadly at the higher rate of 1.5% of the amountor value of the consideration given (or, in certain circumstances, the value of the shares) (rounded up to the nearest £5 in the case of stamp duty). Generally, transfers within such depositary receipt system or clearance service are thereafter not subject to stamp duty or SDRT, provided that (in the case of a clearance service) no election under section 97A of the Finance Act 1986 has been made (as to which, see further below).




85


However, following the European Court of Justice decision in C-569/07 HSBC Holdings Plc, Vidacos Nominees Limited v. The Commissioners of Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs and the First-tier Tax Tribunal decision in HSBC Holdings Plc and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation v. The Commissioners of Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs(the "BNY Case"), HMRC has confirmed that a charge to 1.5% SDRT is no longer payable when new shares are issued to a clearance service (such as, in our understanding, DTC) or depositary receipt system. We consider that this position still holds notwithstanding the United Kingdom’s exit from the EU on January 31, 2020. The HM Treasury Autumn Budget 2017 Report contained a statement that “The government will not reintroduce the Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax 1.5% charge on the issue of shares (and transfers integral to capital raising) into overseas clearance services and depositary receipt systems following the UK’s exit from the EU”. As far as we are aware there has been no subsequent government statement revising this position. HMRC’s Stamp Taxes on Shares Manual STSM055050 confirms that the 1.5% charge on issues of shares will remain disapplied under the terms of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 following the end of the "implementation period" on December 31, 2020 because the direct effect of EU Directive 2008/7/EC was confirmed by the First-tier Tax Tribunal in the BNY Case before the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union on January 31, 2020.

HMRC remains of the view that where Class A ordinary shares are transferred (a) to, or to a nominee or an agent for, a person whose business is or includes the provision of clearance services or (b) to, or to a nominee or an agent for, a person whose business is or includes issuing depositary receipts, stamp duty or SDRT will generally be payable at the higher rate of 1.5% of the amount or value of the consideration given or, in certain circumstances, the value of the Class A ordinary shares.
 
There is an exception from the 1.5% charge on the transfer to, or to a nominee or agent for, a clearance service where the clearance service has made and maintained an election under section 97A(1) of the Finance Act 1986 which has been approved by HMRC and which applies to the Class A ordinary shares. In these circumstances, SDRT at the rate of 0.5% of the amount or value of the consideration payable for the transfer will arise on any transfer of Class A ordinary shares into such an account and on subsequent agreements to transfer such Class A ordinary shares within such account. It is our understanding that DTC has not made an election under section 97A(1) of the Finance Act of 1986, and that therefore transfers or agreements to transfer shares held in book entry (i.e., electronic) form within the facilities of DTC should not be subject to U.K.United Kingdom stamp duty or SDRT.


Any liability for stamp duty or SDRT in respect of a transfer into a clearance service or depositary receipt system, or in respect of a transfer within such a service, which does arise will strictly be accountable by the clearance service or depositary receipt system operator or their nominee, as the case may be, but will, in practice, be payable by the participants in the clearance service or depositary receipt system.


Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders


The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of Class A ordinary shares by a U.S. holder (as defined below).

Further, this summary does not address the U.S. federal estate, gift, or alternative minimum tax considerations, or any U.S. state, local, or non-U.S. tax considerations of the ownership and disposition of the Class A ordinary shares.

This description is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, of 1986, as amended, existing, proposed and temporary U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof.thereof, all as of the date hereof. All the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively, and to differing interpretations, all of which could affect the tax considerations described below. There can be no assurances that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)IRS will not take a contrary or different position concerning the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Class A ordinary shares or that such a position would not be sustained.sustained by a court. We have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling with respect to the U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership, or disposition of the Class A ordinary shares. Holders should consult their own tax advisers concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of owning and disposing of the Class A ordinary shares in their particular circumstances.

For the purposes of this summary, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of Class A ordinary shares that is (or is treated as), for U.S. federal income tax purposes:


an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; 


a corporation, or other entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;


an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or 


a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons“United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code) have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of such trust or has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person for U.S. person.federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Class A ordinary shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to an investment in the Class A ordinary shares will depend in part upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such a partner or partnership should consult its tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations of owning and disposing of the Class A ordinary shares in its particular circumstances.
 
As indicated below, this discussion is subject to U.S. federal income tax rules applicablerelating to a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”).

Distributions


Although we do not currently plan to pay dividends, and subject to the discussion in “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” below, the gross amount of any distribution (before reduction for any amounts withheld in respect of foreign withholding tax) actually or constructively received by a U.S. holder with respect to Class A ordinary shares will generally be taxable to the U.S. holder as a dividend to the extent of the U.S. holder's pro rata share of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of earnings and profits will generally be non-taxable to the U.S. holder to the extent of, and will be applied against and reduce, the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the Class A ordinary shares. Distributions in excess of earnings and profits and such adjusted tax basis will generally be taxable to the U.S. holder as either long-term or short-term capital gain depending upon whether the U.S. holder has held the Class A ordinary shares for more than one year as of the time such distribution is received. However, since we do not calculate our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that any distribution will be reported as a dividend, even if that distribution would otherwise be treated as a non-taxable return of capital or as capital gain under the rules described above.


Non-corporate U.S. holders may qualify for the preferential rates of taxation with respect to dividends on Class A ordinary shares applicable to long-term capital gains (i.e., gains from the sale of capital assets held for more than one year) applicable to qualified dividend income (as discussed below) if we are a “qualified foreign corporation” and certain other requirements (discussed below) are met. A non-United States corporation (other than a corporation that is classified as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) generally will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (a) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the Secretary of Treasury of the United States determines is

satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information provision, or (b) with respect to any dividend it pays on Class A ordinary shares which are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. The Class A ordinary shares are listed on the NASDAQNasdaq Global Select Market, which is an established securities market in the United States. However, there can be no assurance that the Class A ordinary shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States in later years. Subject to the discussion in “-Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” below, such dividends will generally be “qualified dividend income” in the hands of individual U.S. holders, provided that a holding period requirement (more than 60 days of ownership, without protection from the risk of loss, during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date) and certain other requirements are met. The dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to corporate U.S. holders.


Subject to applicable limitations and requirements, a U.S. holder generally may claim the amount of any Australian withholding tax as either a deduction from gross income in its computation of its taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes or as a credit against its U.S. federal income tax liability. The availability of foreign tax credits is subject to numerous requirements (including a minimum holding period requirement) and complex limitations that must be determined and applied on an individual basis. Generally, the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. holder’s taxable income from foreign sources bears to such U.S. holder’s worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. holder’s various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either “foreign source” or “U.S. source.” This limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income. The amount of a distribution with respect to the Class A ordinary shares that is treated as a “dividend” may be lower for U.S. federal income tax purposes than it is for Australian income tax purposes, potentially effectively resulting in a reduced foreign tax credit for the U.S. holder. In addition, the creditability of foreign taxes could be affected by actions taken by intermediaries in the chain of ownership between the holders of the Class A ordinary shares and us if, as a result of such actions, the holders of the Class A ordinary shares are not properly treated as beneficial owners of the underlying ordinary shares. Each U.S. holder should consult its tax advisors regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

In general, the amount of a distribution paid to a U.S. holder in a foreign currency will be the dollar value of the foreign currency calculated by reference to the spot exchange rate on the day the U.S. holder receives the distribution, regardless of whether the foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars at that time. Any foreign currency gain or loss a U.S. holder realizes on a subsequent conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss. If dividends received in a foreign currency are converted into U.S. dollars on the day they are received, a U.S. holder should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend.


88



Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of the Class A Ordinary Shares


A U.S. holder will generally recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Class A ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized from such sale or exchange and the U.S. holder's tax basis for those Class A ordinary shares. Subject to the discussion in “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations” below, this gain or loss will generally be a capital gain or loss. The adjusted tax basis in the Class A ordinary shares generally will be equal to the cost of such Class A ordinary shares. Capital gain from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Class A ordinary shares of a non-corporate U.S. holder is generally eligible for a preferential rate of taxation applicable to capital gains, if the non-corporate U.S. holder's holding period determined at the time of such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition for such Class A ordinary shares exceeds one year (i.e., such gain is long-term taxable gain). The deductibility of capital losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes is subject to limitations under the Code. Any such gain or loss that a U.S. holder recognizes generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.


For a cash basis taxpayer, units of foreign currency paid or received are translated into U.S. dollars at the spot rate on the settlement date of the purchase or sale. In that case, no foreign currency exchange gain or loss will result from currency fluctuations between the trade date and the settlement date of such a purchase or sale. An accrual basis taxpayer, however, may elect the same treatment required of cash basis taxpayers with respect to purchases and sales of the Class A ordinary shares that are traded on an established securities market, provided the election is applied consistently from year to year. Such election may not be changed without the consent of the IRS. For an accrual basis taxpayer who does not make such election, units of foreign currency paid or received are translated into U.S. dollars at the spot rate on the trade date of the purchase or sale. Such an accrual basis taxpayer may recognize exchange gain or loss based on currency fluctuations between the trade date and the settlement date. Any foreign currency gain or loss a U.S. holder realizes will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss.


Net Investment Income Tax


Certain U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or trusts may be subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which may include all or a portion of their dividend income and net gains from the disposition of Class A ordinary shares. Each U.S. holder that is an individual, estate or trust is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the applicability of the net investment income tax to its income and gains in respect of its investment in the Class A ordinary shares.


Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations


If we are classified as a PFIC in any taxable year, a U.S. holder would be subject to special rules generally intended to reduce or eliminate any benefits from the deferral of U.S. federal income tax that a U.S. holder could derive from investing in a non-U.S. company that does not distribute all of its earnings on a current basis.



A corporation organized outside the United States generally will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of its subsidiaries, either: (i) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income” or (ii) at least 50% of the average quarterly value of its total gross assets (which, assuming we are not a controlled foreign corporation for the year being tested, would be measured by the fair market value of our assets) is attributable to assets that produce “passive income” or are held for the production of “passive income.”


Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, gains from commodities and securities transactions, the excess of gains over losses from the disposition of assets which produce passive income, and includes amounts derived by reason of the temporary investment of cash, including any funds raised in prior or future offerings. If a non-U.S. corporation owns directly or indirectly at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, the non-U.S. corporation is treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and as receiving directly its proportionate share of the other corporation’s income. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis and the applicable law is subject to varying interpretation. If we are classified as a PFIC in any taxable year during which a U.S. holder owns the Class A ordinary shares, such U.S. holder will be subject to special tax rules discussed below and could suffer adverse tax consequences.

89



We do not believe that we arewere a PFIC and we do not expect to become a PFIC.for our taxable year ending on June 30, 2021. However, our status in any taxable year will depend on our assets, income and activities in each year, and because this is a factual determination made annually after the end of each taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable years. If we were a PFIC for any taxable year while a taxable U.S. holder held our Class A ordinary shares, such U.S. holder would generally be taxed at ordinary income rates on any gain recognized from the sale or exchange of our Class A ordinary shares and on any dividends treated as “excess distributions” and interest charges generally applicable to underpayments of tax should apply to any taxes payable.


If we are determined to be a PFIC, U.S. holders may be able to make certain elections that could alleviate some of the adverse consequences of PFIC status and would result in an alternative treatment of the Class A ordinary shares. Such elections include a “mark to market” election, a “deemed sale” election, and a “qualified electing fund” election. We may or may not be able to provide the information required to make any such elections, and U.S. holders should therefore not assume that any particular election will be available to them.


If we are determined to be a PFIC, the general tax treatment for U.S. holders described in this section would apply to indirect distributions and gains deemed to be realized by U.S. holders in respect of any of our subsidiaries that also may be determined to be PFICs.


Although the determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually, if we are a PFIC for any taxable year in which a U.S. holder owns our Class A ordinary shares, such U.S. holder will generally be subject to the special tax rules described above for that year and for each subsequent year in which such U.S. holder owns our Class A ordinary shares (even if we do not qualify as a PFIC in such subsequent years).

If a U.S. holder owns Class A ordinary shares during any taxable year in which we are a PFIC, the U.S. holder generally will be required to file an IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund) with respect to the company, generally with the U.S. holder's federal income tax return for that year. If our company were a PFIC for a given taxable year, then you should consult your tax advisor concerning your annual filing requirements.


The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are complex. Prospective U.S. investors are urged to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the ownership and disposition of the Class A ordinary shares, the consequences to them of an investment in a PFIC, any elections available with respect to the Class A ordinary shares and the IRS information reporting obligations with respect to the ownership and disposition of the Class A ordinary shares.


Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

U.S. holders generally will be subject to information reporting requirements with respect to dividends on Class A ordinary shares and on the proceeds from the sale, exchange or disposition of Class A ordinary shares that are paid within the United States or through U.S.-related financial intermediaries, unless the U.S. holder is an “exempt recipient.” In addition, U.S. holders may be subject to backup withholding on such payments, unless the U.S. holder provides a taxpayer identification number and a duly executed IRS Form W-9 or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax, and the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.


Foreign Asset Reporting


Certain U.S. holders who are individuals are(and certain specified entities) may be required to report information relating to an interest in the Class A ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions) by filing IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with their federal income tax return. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding their information reporting obligations, if any, with respect to their ownership and disposition of the Class A ordinary shares.

Item 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Currency Risk
We operate globally and are exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from exposure to various currencies in the ordinary course of business. Our exposures primarily consist of the Australian dollar,Dollar, India rupee, Euro, British pound, Euro, Japanese yen, Philippine peso Indian rupee and Swiss franc.Canadian dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises from commercial transactions and recognized financial assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Our foreign exchangefinancial risk management policy is reviewed annually by our audit committeeAudit Committee and requires us to monitor our foreign exchange exposure on a regular basis.
AllThe substantial majority of our sales contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars, and our operating expenses are generally denominated in the local currencies of the countries where our operations are located. We therefore benefit from a strengthening of the U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by the weakening of the U.S. dollar.
We have a cash flow hedging program in place and enter into derivative transactions to manage certain foreign currency exchange risks that arise in our ordinary business operations. We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on our consolidated statements of financial position and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting.
We enter into master netting agreements with select financial institutions to reduce our credit risk, and contractwe trade with several counterparties to reduce our concentration risk with any single counterparty. We do not have significant exposure to counterparty credit risk at this time. We do not require nor are we required to post collateral of any kind related to our foreign currency derivatives.
Foreign currency exchange rate exposure

We hedged material foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities using balance sheet hedges. The fluctuations in the fair market value of balance sheet hedges due to foreign currency rates generally offset those of the hedged items, resulting in no material effect on profit. Consequently, we are primarily exposed to significant foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with regard to the spot component of derivatives held within a designated cash flow hedge relationship affecting other comprehensive income

91


Foreign currency sensitivity
A sensitivity analysis performed on our hedging portfolio as of June 30, 2018 2021 and 2020indicated that a hypothetical 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currenciesthe Australian dollar applicable to our business would decrease the fair value of our foreign currency contracts by $18.8 million. A$39.4 million and $27.0 million, respectively, and a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar against other currenciesthe Australian dollar would increase the fair value of our foreign currency contracts by $18.8 million.$39.4 million and $27.0 million, respectively.
A sensitivity analysis performed on our hedging portfolio as of June 30, 2017 indicated that a hypothetical 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies applicable to our business would decrease the fair value of our foreign currency contracts by $11.3 million. A hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies would increase the fair value of our foreign currency contracts by $11.3 million.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from our variable interest rate Credit Facility. Our financial risk management policy is reviewed annually by our Audit Committee and requires us to monitor its interest rate exposure on a regular basis.

We have a hedging program in place and enter into derivative transactions to manage the variable interest rate risks that arise with the Group’s Term Loan Facility. We enter into master netting agreements with financial institutions to execute our hedging program. Our master netting agreements are with select financial institutions to reduce our credit risk, and we trade with several counterparties to reduce our concentration risk with any single counterparty. We do not have significant exposure to counterparty credit risk at this time. We do not require nor are we required to post collateral of any kind related to our interest rate derivatives.

We enter into interest rate swaps with the objective to hedge the variability of cash flows in the interest payments associated with our variable-rate Term Loan Facility. The interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and measured at fair value.

A sensitivity analysis performed on interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2021 indicated that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the market value of our interest rate swap by $24.8 million and a hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would decrease the market value of our interest rate swap by $20.6 million. This estimate is based on a sensitivity model that measures market value changes when changes in interest rates occur.

In addition, our cash equivalents and investment portfolio are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. As of June 30, 2018,2021, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1.4 billion$919.2 million and short-term investments totaling $323.1 million.$313.0 million.


A sensitivity analysis performed on our portfolio as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 indicated that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates at June 30, 2018 and 2017 would result in a $1.7 million and $2.0 million decrease in the market value of our investments respectively.by $1.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively, and a hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would increase the market value of our investments by $0.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively. This estimate is based on a sensitivity model that measures market value changes when changes in interest rates occur.
Equity Price Risk
We are exposed to equity price risk due toin connection with our exchangeable senior notes,Notes, including exchange and settlement provisions based on the price of our Class A ordinary shares at exchange or maturity of the notes.Notes. In addition, the capped call transactions associated with the notesNotes also include settlement provisions that are based on the price of theour Class A ordinary shares. The amount of cash we may receive from capped call counterparties in connection with the capped calls is determined by the price of our Class A ordinary shares.

A sensitivity analysis performed on the notes embedded exchange derivativefeature of the Notes and related capped call transactions indicatescalls as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 indicated that a hypothetical hypothetical 10% increase in our share price would increase the fair value of the notes embedded exchange derivative feature of the Notes and related capped callsby $46.7$107.9 million and increase the fair value of the capped call transactions by $15.9 million. A$192.6 million, respectively, and a hypothetical 10% decrease in our share price would decrease the fair value of the notes embedded exchange derivativefeature of the Notes and related capped calls by $43.0$106.2 million and $184.8 million, respectively.

92



We are also exposed to equity price risk in connection with our equity investments. Our marketable equity investments are susceptible to market price risk from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, our marketable equity investments are fair valued at $110.4 million and $100.2 million, respectively. A hypothetical 10% increase in the respective share prices of our equity investments as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 would increase the fair value of our marketable equity investments by $11.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, and a hypothetical 10% decrease in the capped call transactionsrespective share prices of our equity investments would decrease the fair value of our marketable equity investments by $16.2 million.$11.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

Disclosure controls and procedures


Our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2018,2021, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and ensured that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.


Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with IFRS. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over

financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2018.2021. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an audit report with respect to our internal control over financial reporting, which appears in Part III, Item 18 of this annual report.


Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended June 30, 20182021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


93



Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Item 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE


We are a “foreign private issuer” under the securities laws of the United States and the rules of NASDAQ.Nasdaq. Under the securities laws of the United States, foreign private issuers are subject to different disclosure requirements than U.S. domiciled registrants. We intend to take all actions necessary for us to maintain compliance as a foreign private issuer under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules adopted by the SEC and NASDAQ'sNasdaq's listing standards.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TheReport of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Atlassian Corporation Plc

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Atlassian Corporation Plc (the “Company”)Company) as of June 30, 20182021 and 2017, and2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss),loss, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2018,2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated“consolidated financial statements)statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at June 30, 20182021 and 2017,2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2018,2021, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework)and our report dated August 30, 201813, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue recognition

Description of the Matter
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company primarily derives revenues from cloud-based services agreements and subscription-based and perpetual software license arrangements that include bundled support and maintenance services for the term of the license period. The Company’s contracts with customers often contain multiple performance obligations, including promises to transfer multiple software products and/or services to a customer. To account for promised goods and services in accordance with IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company allocates the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis and recognizes revenue when control of the distinct performance obligation is transferred to the customer. For example, the Company recognizes software license revenue at the time of delivery of the license and recognizes subscription and support revenue over time as the services are performed.

Auditing the Company’s recognition of revenue was challenging and complex due to the effort required to analyze the accounting treatment for the Company’s various software product and service offerings in accordance with IFRS 15. This involved assessing the impact of terms and conditions of new or amended contracts with customers or new product or service offerings, the determination of the relative standalone selling prices for each distinct performance obligation and the timing of recognition of revenue.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over the relevant terms of its contracts, the appropriate accounting for those terms under IFRS 15, including the identification of performance obligations, determination of the relative standalone selling price for each performance obligation, and the determination of the timing of recognition of revenue. This included testing relevant controls over the information systems that are important to the initiation, recording and billing of revenue transactions.

Among other procedures to evaluate management’s identification and determination of the distinct performance obligations, we read executed contracts for a sample of sales transactions to understand the contract, identified the promised goods and services in the contract and identified the distinct performance obligations. To test management’s determination of relative standalone selling price for each performance obligation, we performed audit procedures, among others, to assess the appropriateness of the methodology applied, tested mathematical accuracy of the underlying data and calculations, and tested sample selections to corroborate the data underlying the Company’s calculations. We also evaluated whether the Company appropriately applied its revenue recognition policy to a sample of sales transactions to determine whether revenue was recognized in the correct amount and period. Finally, we assessed the appropriateness of the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


TheTo the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Atlassian Corporation Plc

Opinion on Internal Control overOver Financial Reporting
We have audited Atlassian Corporation Plc’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Atlassian Corporation Plc (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018,2021, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the 2018Company’s 2021 consolidated financial statements, of the Company and our report dated August 30, 201813, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying management’sManagement’s report on internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiariesGroup for the year ended June 30, 20182021 were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Boardboard of Directorsdirectors on August 27, 2018.13, 2021.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These accounting policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas that require a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3, “Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments.”
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), which includes all standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and related interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for debt and equity financial assets and liabilitiesderivative financial instruments that have been measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or profit or loss.value.
All amounts included in the consolidated financial statements are reported in thousands of U.S. dollars (U.S. $ in thousands) except where otherwise stated. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this document may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgments and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which forms the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect the financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments made by management include revenue recognition and impairment of non-financial assets (see Note 3, “Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments”). Other estimates, assumptions and judgments made by management include business combinations, fair value measurement of financial instruments and accounting for income taxes.
F-10


In January 2020, the World Health Organization declared a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, and a pandemic in March 2020. The impact of COVID-19 continues to unfold and the extent of the impact will depend on a number of factors, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions taken by governments and authorities to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The Group operates asconsidered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used, including the allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable, the credit worthiness of customers entering into revenue arrangements, our impairment assessment of assets, the fair values of our financial instruments, and income taxes, which require increased judgement and carry a single cash-generating unit (“CGU”) and as a single operating segment, which is also its reporting segment. An operating segment is defined as a componenthigher degree of an entity for which discrete financial information is available and whose operating results are regularly reviewed byestimate uncertainty. The Group determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the chief operating decision maker. The Group's chief operating decision makers are the Group's Co-Chief Executive Officers, who review operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance based on consolidated financial information. Accordingly,statements for the Group has determined it operates fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Group’s assumptions and estimates may change in one operating segment.

Initial public offering
In December 2015, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) in which we issued and sold 22 million Class A ordinary shares at a public offering price of $21.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $431.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. Upon the closing of our IPO, all then-outstanding Series A preference shares automatically converted into Class A ordinary shares, all then-outstanding restricted shares automatically converted into Class A ordinary shares and all then-outstanding Series B preference shares automatically converted into Class B ordinary shares.


future periods.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilitiesfinancial positions and the results of operations of the Group. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.
Segment
The Group operates as a single operating segment, which is also its reporting segment. An operating segment is defined as a component of an entity for which discrete financial information is available and whose results of operations are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. The Group's chief operating decision makers are the Group's Co-Chief Executive Officers, who review results of operations to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance based on consolidated financial information. Accordingly, the Group has determined it operates in 1 operating segment.
Foreign currency translation
The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented using the U.S. dollar, which is the Company's functional currency. The Group determinesSome of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency for each entity in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, based onis the currency of the primary economic environment in which each subsidiary operates, and items included inlocal currency. We translate the financial statements of such entity are measuredthese subsidiaries to U.S. dollars using that functional currency.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group entities at their respective functional currency spotmonth-end exchange rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities, denominated inand average exchange rates for revenue, costs, and expenses. Adjustments resulting from translating foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange at each reporting date.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses from re-measurement of monetary items that are designated as part of the Group's net investment in foreign operations. These differences on translation of the foreign operations account are recognized in other comprehensive income until the net investment is disposed.
Certain non-monetary items, such as property and equipment, which are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rates as of the dates of the initial transactions. Certain non-monetary items initially measured at fair value in a foreign currency, such as intangible assets, are translated using the exchange rates as of the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income (or profit or loss are also recognized in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

Revenue recognition
The Group primarily derives revenues from subscription, maintenance, perpetual license,Policies, Estimates and trainingJudgments
Revenues are generally recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services provided to our customers, reflecting the amount of consideration we expect to receive for those products or services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and other services.
services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The revenue recognition policy is consistent for sales generated directly with customers and sales generated indirectly through solution partners and resellers.
Revenues are recognized upon the application of the following steps:
1.Identification of the contract or contracts with a customer;
2.Identification of the performance obligations in linethe contract;
3.Determination of the transaction price;
4.Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
F-11


5.Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of billing our customers. We receive payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in our contracts. Contract assets are recognized when performance is completed in advance of scheduled billings. Deferred revenue is recognized when billings are in advance of performance under the contract. Our revenue arrangements include standard warranty provisions that our products and services will perform and operate in all material respects with the requirementsapplicable published specifications, the financial impacts of which have historically been, and are expected to continue to be insignificant. Our contracts do not include a significant financing component.
Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require judgment.
We allocate the transaction price for each contract to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each performance obligation. We use judgment in determining the SSP for products and services. We typically determine an SSP range for our products and services which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. For all performance obligations other than perpetual and term licenses, we are able to determine SSP based on the observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. In instances where performance obligations do not have observable standalone sales, we utilize available information that may include market conditions, pricing strategies, the economic life of the software, and other observable inputs to estimate the price we would charge if the products and services were sold separately.
Our products are generally sold with a right of return, we may provide other credits or incentives, and in certain instances we estimate customer usage of our services, which are accounted for as stated in IAS 18, Revenue,variable consideration when evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer,determining the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and associated costs can be measured reliably,credits are estimated at contract inception and collection of the related receivable is probable. In the absence of industry-specific software revenue recognition guidance under IFRS, the Group refers to GAAP when establishing policies related to revenue recognition. The Group's revenue recognition policy considers the guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition, and FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements, where applicable, as authorized by IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

Recognition of revenue cannot be measured reliably, revenue recognition is deferred until the arrangement fee becomes due and payable by the customer. Additionally, if, at the outset of an arrangement, it is determined that collectability is not probable, revenue recognition is deferred until the earlier of when collectability becomes probable or payment is received.

Revenue recognition for indirect customers is disaggregated into categories that depict how the same as for direct customers as the termsnature, amount, timing and uncertainty of salerevenue and cash flows are substantially the same.affected by economic factors. We report our revenues in 4 categories: (i) subscription, (ii) maintenance, (iii) perpetual license, and (iv) other. In addition, we present revenue by geographic region in Note 15, “Revenue.
Subscription revenuerevenues
Subscription revenue representsrevenues consist primarily of fees earned from subscription-based arrangements for: (1) cloud-based services for providing customers the right to use our software in a cloud-based-infrastructure provided by the Group, where the customer does not have the right to terminate the hosting contract and take possession of the software without significant penalty; and (2)that we provide. We also sell on-premises term license agreements for our data center products, which are software licensed for a specified period, in which fees forand includes support and maintenance areservice that is bundled with the license fee overfor the entire term of the license period. Subscription-basedSubscription revenues are driven primarily by the number and size of active licenses, the type of product and the price of the licenses. Our subscription-based arrangements generally have a contractual term of one to twelve months. Subscriptionmonths, with a majority being one month. For cloud-based services, subscription revenue is recognized ratably as the services are performed, commencing with the date the service is made available to customerscustomers. For on-premises term-based licenses, we recognize revenue upfront for the portion that relates to the delivery of the term license and all otherthe support and related revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.is recognized ratably as the services are delivered over the term of the arrangement.
Maintenance revenuerevenues
Maintenance revenue representsrevenues represent fees earned from providing customers unspecified future updates, upgrades and enhancements and technical product support for perpetual license products on an if and when available basis. The first year of maintenance is purchased concurrently with the purchase of perpetual licenses, and subsequent renewals extend for an additional year in most cases. Maintenance services are priced as a percentage of the total product sale, and a substantial majority of customers elect to renew software support contracts annually at standard list maintenance renewal pricing. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the support period.
Perpetual license revenue

Perpetual license revenue representsrevenues
Perpetual license revenues represent fees earned from the license of software to customers for use on the customer's premises.customer’s premises other than data center products. Software is licensed on a perpetual basis, subjectbasis. Perpetual license revenues consist of the revenues recognized from sales of licenses to a standard licensing agreement. The Group recognizesnew customers and additional licenses to existing customers. We typically recognize revenue on the license portion of perpetual license arrangements ononce the datecustomer obtains control of productthe license, which is generally upon delivery in substantially all situations.
Other revenueof the license.
Other revenues
Other revenues primarily include fees received for sales of third-party apps in the Group's online marketplace, Atlassian Marketplace,Marketplace. Technical account management, consulting and for training services.services are also included in other revenues. Revenue from the sale of third-party vendor productsapps via Atlassian Marketplace is recognized net of the vendor liability portion as the Group functions as an agent in the relationship. The Group's revenue portion is recognized onat the date of product delivery given that all of our obligations have been met at that time and on a net basis as we function as the Group has no future obligations.agent in the relationship. Revenue from technical account management is recognized over the time period that the customer has access to the service. Revenue from consulting and training is recognized over time as deliveredthe services are performed.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Group considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents also include amounts due from third-party credit card processors as they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature and are typically converted to cash within three days of the sales transaction.
Current versus non-current classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position based on current or non-current classification. An asset is current when it is: expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle; expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period. The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Our financial assets include trade receivables and contract assets, debt and equity investments and derivative financial instruments. We generally classify financial assets into the following categories: subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income, and at fair value through profit or loss depending on the contractual cash flows of and our business model for holding the respective asset. Financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include debt and equity investments and derivative financial instruments. Trade receivables and contract assets are measured at amortized cost. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date.
Our financial liabilities include trade and other payables, the Notes and derivative financial instruments. We generally classify financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost and at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities that are measured at fair value are the derivative financial instruments. Trade and other payables are measured at amortized cost and the Notes are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method.
Debt investments
The Group’s marketable debt securities were classified as instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income. These debt securities give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. After consideration of our objectives, as well as our liquidity requirements, we may sell these debt securities prior to their stated maturities. As we view these securities as available for use to support current operations, we classify highly liquid securities with maturities beyond 12 months as current assets under the caption short-term investments on the consolidated statements of financial position. Fair value changes of marketable debt securities that have been recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss upon sale of the financial asset.
F-13



The Group’s non-marketable debt securities are classified as instruments at fair value through profit or loss. The non-marketable debt securities are convertible notes issued by private companies without quoted market prices. To estimate the fair value of the non-marketable debt securities, we use the income approach utilizing our estimates of timing, probability, and amount of cash flows associated with liquidation of the securities. Financial information of private companies may not be available and consequently we will estimate the fair value based on the best available information at the measurement date.
Equity investments
We invest in equity securities of public and private companies, in which the Company does not have a controlling interest or significant influence, to promote business and strategic objectives. The Group has irrevocably designated the equity investments as instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income. Changes in fair value of these equity investments are recognized in other comprehensive income and never reclassified to profit or loss, even if the asset is impaired, sold or otherwise derecognized.
Marketable equity securities are measured at fair value using readily determinable market value. Non-marketable equity securities are measured at fair value using market data, such as publicly available financing round valuations. Judgment is required particularly in estimating the fair values of non-marketable equity securities.
Exchangeable senior notes
The Notes are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost and measured using the EIR method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount and issuance cost that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the consolidated statements of operations.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters into foreign exchange forward contracts with the objective to mitigate certain currency risks associated with cost of revenues and operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies. These foreign exchange forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The Group also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of certain foreign currency denominated as monetary assets and liabilities to reduce the risk that such foreign currency will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. The Group uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of cash flows in the interest payments associated with its variable-rate debt due to changes in the LIBOR-based floating interest rate. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve interest obligations for U.S. dollar-denominated amounts. Hedging derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge.
The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Group will assess whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements (including the analysis of sources of hedge ineffectiveness and how the hedge ratio is determined). A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it meets all of the following effectiveness requirements:
There is ‘an economic relationship’ between the hedged item and the hedging instrument;
The effect of credit risk does not ‘dominate the value changes’ that result from that economic relationship; and
The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as the ratio resulting from the quantity of the hedged item and the quantity of the hedging instrument.
For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gains (losses) on the derivatives is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and is subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged exposure is recognized in earnings. Amounts reclassified from cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss are recorded to the same functional expense as the hedged item or items. Gains (losses) on derivatives representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in earnings. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges, gains (losses) from changes in fair values are primarily recognized in other income (expense), net.
F-14


The Group has other derivatives such as embedded exchange feature of the Notes and capped call transactions (“Exchange and Capped Call Derivatives”). Please see Note 16, “Debt” for details. The Exchange and Capped Call Derivatives are measured at fair value at each reporting date and gains (losses) from changes in fair values are recognized in other non-operating expense, net. The Group used Black-Scholes option pricing models to fair value the exchange feature of the Notes. Certain inputs used in the model such as stock price volatility requires judgment. The Capped Call Derivatives’ fair value was obtained from counterparty banks.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group measures loss allowances on debt investments at fair value through other comprehensive income at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses (“ECLs”), except for securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date and other securities and bank balances for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, which are measured as 12-month ECLs. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of the difference in the present value of contractual cash flows and the present value of cash flows that the Group expects to receive. Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months following the reporting date.
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. The Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive training expire.cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Multiple-element arrangementsFinancial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
ManyFair value measurement
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact, as well as assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. 
The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is included in Level 1.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to measure the fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.
F-15


Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Group's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Disposal group held for sale

The Group classifies the disposal group as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. A disposal group is a group of assets and liabilities which the Group intends to dispose of in a single transaction. The disposal group classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of the asset group, excluding finance costs and income tax expense.

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the plan to sell the asset group and the sale expected to be completed within one year from the date of the classification.

Assets classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost over the estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased equipment, the remaining lease term if shorter. The estimated useful lives for each asset class are as follows:
Equipment1 - 3 years
Computer hardware and computer-related software1 - 5 years
Furniture and fittings4 - 10 years
Leasehold improvementsShorter of the remaining lease term or 7 years
Business combinations
We include the results of operations of the businesses that we acquire as of the acquisition date. We record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.
We use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the intangible assets acquired at the acquisition date. The estimation is primarily due to the judgmental nature of the inputs to the valuation models used to measure the fair value of these intangible assets, as well as the sensitivity of the respective fair values to the underlying significant assumptions. Our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. We use a discounted cash flow method of the income approach to measure the fair value of these intangible assets. Assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the intangible assets include revenue growth rates, technology migration curves, customer attrition rates and discount rates. These assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.
During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the date of acquisition, the Group may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on additional information obtained affecting the fair value of those assets and liabilities, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, uncertain tax positions are initially established in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. The Group continues to collect information and reevaluates these provisional estimates and assumptions as deemed reasonable by management. The Group records any adjustments to these provisional estimates and assumptions against goodwill provided they arise within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations. Please refer to Note 13, “Business combinations,” for details.
F-16


Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the Group's arrangements include purchasesfiscal year and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group performs its goodwill impairment test at the level of both software related products and services. For these software related multiple-element arrangements,its operating segment as there are no lower levels within the Group appliesat which goodwill is monitored. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the residual methodrecoverable amount of the operating segment. When the recoverable amount of the operating segment is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
Intangible assets
We acquire intangible assets separately or in connection with business combinations. Intangible assets are measured at cost initially. All of our intangible assets are with finite lives and are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The amortization expense on intangible assets is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the expense category, consistent with the function of the intangible asset.
The estimated useful lives for each intangible asset class are as follows:
Patents, trademarks and other rights5 - 12 years
Customer relationships3 - 10 years
Acquired developed technology4 - 6 years
Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. When the recoverable amount of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit (“CGU”)’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
Share-based payments
Share-based payments cover equity-settled awards including stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and restricted shares issued to our employees in exchange of their service. The cost of the equity-settled awards is determined by the fair value at the grant date. The fair value of RSUs or restricted shares is equal to the market value of our common stock on the grant date. The Group estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This option-pricing model requires the input of assumptions, including the awards’ expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.
We recognize equity-settled awards cost, net of estimated forfeitures, over the awards’ requisite service period on a graded-vesting basis. No compensation cost is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because service conditions have not been met and we estimate forfeiture based on historical experience. The respective expenses are recognized as employee benefits and classified in our consolidated statements of operations according to the activities that the employees perform.
The Group also issues replacement awards in connection with business combinations in exchange for awards held by employees of the acquiree. We recognize the portion of the acquiree award that is attributable to pre-combination service as purchase consideration. The portion of the replacement award attributable to post-combination service is recognized as employee benefits and classified in our consolidated statements of operations according to the activities that the employees perform.
F-17


Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Leases
Group as lessee
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Our lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Lease payments under our lease arrangements are primarily fixed. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities and are expensed as incurred.
Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the amountpresent value of software license revenuethe future lease payments is our incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in our leases is not readily determinable. Our incremental borrowing rate is estimated to be recognized. The Group first allocates fair valueapproximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Our lease terms include periods under options to elements of a software related multiple-element arrangement based on its fair value as determined by vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), with any remaining amount allocated toextend or terminate the software license. The Group determines VSOE based on its historical pricing for a specific product or servicelease when sold separatelyit is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We generally use the base, non-cancelable, lease term when determining lease liabilities. We reassess the lease term if and when a substantial majoritysignificant event or change in circumstances occurs within the control of the selling pricesGroup.

Right-of-use assets are recognized at cost at the lease commencement date. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct cost incurred, any prepaid lease payments less lease incentives and an estimate of restoration cost. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
We apply the short-term lease recognition exemption for these services fall withinour short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Short-term leases are leases with a narrow range.lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets are primarily comprised of office equipment. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Cloud-based arrangements may be purchased alongside other servicesResearch and development
Research and development expense includes the employee and hardware costs incurred for the development of new products, enhancements and updates of existing products and quality assurance activities. These costs incurred for the development of computer software are expensed until the point that are intended to be used withtechnological feasibility has been established, which for our products, is typically reached shortly before the cloud offering. Such arrangements are considered to be non-software multiple-element arrangements. The Group accordingly allocates revenue to each element considered to berelease of such products and as a separate unit of accounting using the relative selling prices of each unit.
The relative selling price for each element is based upon the following selling price hierarchy: VSOE if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor TPE are available. Historically,result, the Group has established VSOE for all non-software elements using the same methodology applied to software-related elements, as a substantial majority of the selling prices for these elements fall within a narrow range when sold separately.

If the Group enters into an arrangement with both softwarenot capitalized any research and non-software deliverables, the Group will first allocate the total arrangement consideration based on the relative selling prices of the software group of elements as a whole and the non-software elements. The Group then further allocates consideration within the software group in accordance with the residual method described above.
The revenue amount allocated to each element is recognized when the revenue recognition criteria described above have been met for the respective element.development costs.
Taxation
Current tax
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise amounts expected to be recovered or paid to Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs, the Australian Taxation Office, the United States Internal Revenue Service and other fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, which are unpaid at each reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable income that differs from the consolidated statements of operations in the financial statements due to permanent and temporary timing differences. The calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax
The Group uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable income. Deferred tax however is not recognized on the initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of an asset or liability (other than in a business combination) in a transaction that affects neither tax nor accounting income.
F-18


Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax liabilities are generally provided for in full.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future and it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income, based on the Group's forecast of future operating results.results of operations. Deferred tax assets are adjusted for significant non-taxable income, expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss or credit. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates and in accordance with laws that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided the tax rates and laws are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statements of operations, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively. Where deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

Share-based payments
Employees of the Group receive, in part, remuneration for services rendered in the form of share-based payments, which are considered equity-settled transactions. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance or service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The share-based payment expense for each reporting period reflects the movement in cumulative expense recognized at the beginning and end of that period. The Group follows the accelerated method of expense recognition for share-based awards, as the awards vest in tranches over the vesting period.
The estimation of share awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period the estimates are revised. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from current estimates.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had forfeited on the date of cancellation, and any expense previously recognized for unvested shares is immediately reversed.

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date, whether fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Expenses incurred in operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Operating lease incentives are recognized as a liability when received and subsequently reduced by allocating lease payments between rental expense and a reduction of the liability.
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at the acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Settlements of pre-existing relationships are not included in the consideration transferred and are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. Upon acquisition, the Group recognizes any non-controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses. Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value at the date of exchange.
Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, which is the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for the non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net of these assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the difference is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to the Group's CGU that is expected to benefit from the combination, regardless of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of financial position comprise cash at banks, short-term deposits and low-risk, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when

initially recorded. Cash equivalents also include amounts due from third-party credit card processors as they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature and are typically converted to cash within three days of the sales transaction.
Current versus non-current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position based on current or non-current classification. An asset is current when it is: expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least
twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period. The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value, less a provision for impairment. Trade receivables are unsecured and substantially all are due for settlement within 30 days of recognition. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly.
The amount of the impairment loss is recognized within general and administrative expense. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognized becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against an allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Financial assets
Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition with the classification dependent on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the assets. Management evaluates the business model for managing its financial assets at the end of each reporting period.
Recognition and derecognition
Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Fair value changes that have been recognized in other comprehensive income are recycled to profit or loss upon sale of the financial asset.
Measurement
At initial recognition, for financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, the Group measures the assets at its purchase price plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the consolidated statements of operations.
Subsequently, financial assets are carried at fair value or amortized cost less impairment. Financial assets classified at amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method.
Impairment
The Group measures loss allowances on its financial assets at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses (“ECLs”), except for securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date and other securities and bank balances for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, which are measured as 12-month ECLs. Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months following the reporting date.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income.

ECLS are a probability-weighted estimate of the difference in the present value of contractual cash flows and the present value of cash flows that the Group expects to receive.
The changes in the loss allowance balance are recognized as an impairment loss in the consolidated statements of operations. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices as of the consolidated statements of financial position date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing as of the consolidated statements of financial position date. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.
The carrying value, less any impairment provision of trade receivables and payables, is assumed to approximate the fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost over the estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased equipment, the remaining lease term if shorter. The estimated useful lives for each asset class are as follows:
Equipment3 - 5 years
Computer hardware and computer-related software3 - 5 years
Furniture and fittings5 - 10 years
Leasehold improvementsShorter of the remaining lease term or 7 years
Research and development
Research and development includes the employee and hardware costs incurred for the development of new products, enhancements and updates of existing products and quality assurance activities. These costs incurred internally for the development of computer software are capitalized only when technological feasibility has been established for the solution. To establish technological feasibility, the Group must demonstrate it intends to complete development and the solution will be available for sale or internal use, it is probable the solution will generate future economic benefits, and the Group has the ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the solution during its development. The Company has not capitalized any research and development costs.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as of the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost, net of accumulated amortization.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful life using the straight-line method. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least annually at each fiscal year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in an accounting estimate. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the expense category, consistent with the function of the intangible asset.
The estimated useful lives for each intangible asset class are as follows:
Patents, trademarks and other rights2 - 7 years
Customer relationships2 - 4 years
Acquired developed technology3 - 10 years
Impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the Group's fiscal year and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
Intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, during the fourth quarter, and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. When the recoverable amount of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized.
The residual values and useful lives of long-lived assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities held for trading, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, exchangeable senior notes (the “Notes”) and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification. Financial liabilities classified as held for trading, including derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships are recognized at fair value. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.


Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method (“EIR”). Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the consolidated statements of operations.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Provisions and accrued liabilities
Provisions and accrued expenses are recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of each reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as finance costs.
Shareholders' equity
Preference, ordinary and restricted shares are classified as equity. When the Group purchases its own equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buyback or a share-based payment plan, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes), is deducted from equity attributable to the owners of the Company as treasury shares, until the shares are cancelled or reissued. When such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners of the Company.
Refer to Note 15, "Shareholders' Equity," for the terms and conditions on preference, ordinary and restricted shares.
Dividends
Provision is made for any dividend declared, being appropriately authorized and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.
Royalties
Royalties payable are recognized as an expense on an accruals basis in accordance with the applicable royalty agreement.
New accounting standards not yet adopted
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, was issued in May 2014, and amended in April 2016, and establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers.
The new revenue standard supersedes all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Either a full retrospective application or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The standard is applicable for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. We have assessed the new standard, including completing our contract reviews and evaluation of the incremental costs of obtaining a contract. Based on our assessment, we will be adopting the requirements of the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, utilizing the full retrospective method of transition.

The primary impact of adopting the new standard relates to our on-premises term-based licenses, as under IFRS 15, the requirement to have vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) for undelivered elements is eliminated. Our term-based licenses include the delivery of software and support services as well as unspecified future updates. Under our current policies, we recognize revenue for these contracts ratably over the life of the service period. In contrast, under IFRS 15, we will estimate the standalone selling price associated with the software license and the support services separately and recognize license revenue upon delivery of the initial software at the outset of the arrangement. Upon adoption, unused maintenance upon server product upgrades will be allocated between maintenance, perpetual license and other revenue. Under our current policy it is allocated in-full to perpetual license revenue.

The impact of adopting the new standard as it relates to the incremental costs of obtaining a contract was not material to our fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 financial statements.

Adoption of the standard related to revenue recognition had no impact to cash provided by or used in operating, financing, or investing activities on our consolidated cash flows statements. 
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases, which supersedes the existing leases standard, IAS 17, Leases, and related interpretations. The standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize all leases with a term of more than 12 months, as assets and liabilities on its statement of financial position. The standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees and is effective for the Group beginning for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, though early adoption is permitted for companies that early adopt IFRS 15. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on its consolidated financial statements.
3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its judgments and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable

under the circumstances, the result of which forms the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect the financial results or the financial position reported in future periods.
Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are made.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
Revenue
As described in the Group’s revenue accounting policy, revenue will be recognized when all criteria are met in accordance with IAS 18, Revenue. Most of the Group’s revenue-generating arrangements include more than one deliverable. Assumptions have to be applied in order to determine when to account for deliverables separately and how to allocate the total arrangement fee to its individual elements. The Group does not allocate different deliverables under one arrangement separately if a basis for allocating the overall arrangement fee cannot be identified. The Group has concluded that a reasonable allocation basis exists if vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value can be established for each undelivered software element in an arrangement. However, estimation is required and the Group’s conclusions around the approach to allocate fair value may significantly impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments may impact expenses, equity and the carrying amounts of liabilities within the next financial reporting period.
Business combinations
The Group uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The Group’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the date of acquisition, the Group may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, uncertain tax positions are initially established in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. The Group continues to collect information and reevaluates these estimates and assumptions as deemed reasonable by management. The Group records any adjustments to these estimates and assumptions against goodwill provided they arise within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations.
Significant accounting judgments
Taxation
Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences for which management considers it is probable that future taxable income will be available to utilize those temporary differences. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable income, together with future tax-planning strategies.
Management judgment is required to determine the extent to which deferred tax assets should be recognized based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable income available to utilize the Group’s deferred tax benefits. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable income depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows, future business expectations, capital expenditure,expenditures, dividends, and other capital management transactions.
Management judgment is also required in relation to the application of income tax legislation, which involves complexity and an element of inherent risk and uncertainty. Where management judgment is found to be misplaced, some or all of recognized deferred tax asset and liability carrying amounts may require adjustment, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company assesses uncertainty over a tax treatment in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) 23. When the Company concludes it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the Company will reflect the effect of uncertainty by using either of the following methods, depending on which method the Company expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty:
The most likely amount: the single most likely amount in a range of possible outcomes.
The expected value: the sum of the probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible outcomes.
For details of taxation, please refer to Note 8, “Income Tax.
New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments Not Yet Adopted in Fiscal Year 2021
The IASB has issued other amendments resulting from improvements to IFRS that management considers do not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Group. The Group does not expect them to have a material impact on the accounting policies.
3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are made.
F-19


Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Revenue recognition
Determining the SSP for products and services requires estimates and assumptions. We typically determine a SSP range for our products and services which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. For all performance obligations other than perpetual and term licenses, we are able to determine SSP based on the observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. In instances where performance obligations do not have observable standalone sales, we utilize available information that may include market conditions, pricing strategies, the economic life of the software, and other observable inputs to estimate the price we would charge if the products and services were sold separately.
Critical accounting judgments
Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assessesFor assets excluding goodwill, and CGUs, impairment of all assetsassessments are made at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the Group's fiscal year and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. These include product performance, technology, economic and political environments, and future product expectations. If an impairment trigger exists or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. No
The Group operates as a single operating segment and the Group performs the goodwill impairment test at the level of its operating segment as there are no lower levels within the Group at which goodwill is monitored. The recoverable amount of goodwill was assessed by comparing the market capitalization of the Group to its book value, among other qualitative factors, when reviewing for impairment. There was 0 impairment of goodwill during the fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019.
During fiscal year 2021, the Group made the decision to early terminate one of our office leases. The Group does not have any rights to sublease the facility. The recoverable amount of the related lease assets including right-of-use assets and leasehold improvement was determined to be 0. An impairment charge of $7.4 million was recorded to profit or loss in fiscal year 2021. For details of the office lease impairment, please refer to Note 7, “Expenses.” Other than the lease-related assets discussed above, no indicators of impairment existed that were significant enough to warrant suchnon-financial assets to be tested for impairment in the fiscal years ended June 30, 20182021, 2020 and 2019. For details of non-financial assets, please refer to Note 10, “Property and Equipment, 2017Note 11, “Goodwill and 2016.Intangible assets” and Note 12, “Leases.”
Impairment of financial instruments
F-20
The Group assesses the credit risk for financial instruments and establishes a loss allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of financial instruments.

5. Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial Risk Management
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, equity price risk, and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management approach focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.
Management regularly reviews the Group's risk management objectives to ensure that risks are identified and managed appropriately. The Boardboard of Directorsdirectors is made aware of and reviews management's risk assessments prior to entering into significant transactions.

Market risk
Currency risk
The Group operates globally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from exposure to various currencies in the ordinary course of business. Our exposures primarily consist of the Australian dollar (“AUD”), Indian rupee, Euro (“EUR”), British pound, Euro, Japanese yen, Philippine peso Indian rupee and Swiss franc.Canadian dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises from commercial transactions and recognized financial assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar.dollar (“USD”). The Group’s foreign exchangefinancial risk management policy is reviewed annually by the Group’s audit committeeAudit Committee and requires the Group to monitor its foreign exchange exposure on a regular basis.
AllThe substantial majority of our sales contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars, and our operating expenses are generally denominated in the local currencies of the countries where our operations are located. We therefore benefit from a strengthening of the U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by the weakening of the U.S. dollar.
We have a cash flow hedging program in place and enter into derivative transactions to manage certain foreign currency exchange risks that arise in the Group’s ordinary business operations. We enter into master netting agreements with financial institutions to execute our hedging program. We recognize all hedging derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on our consolidated statements of financial position and measure them at fair value. We have the rights to net certain hedging derivative assets and liabilities, but we currently present them on the gross basis. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting.
We enter intoOur master netting agreements are with select financial institutions to reduce our credit risk, and contractwe trade with several counterparties to reduce our concentration risk with any single counterparty. We do not have significant exposure to counterparty credit risk at this time. We do not require nor are we required to post collateral of any kind related to our foreign currency derivatives.
Cash flow hedging
We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with the objective to mitigate certain currency risks associated with forecast cost of revenues and operating expenses denominated in Australian dollars. These foreign exchange forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.
To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. We include the forward element of these hedging instruments in the hedgeThere is an economic relationship and on a quarterly basis qualitatively assess whether the hedges are expected to provide offsetting changes against the hedged items. The effect of the cash flow hedges determined to be effective is recognized in other comprehensive income and impact profit or loss in the same period or periods asbetween the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the foreign exchange and forward contracts match the terms of the expected highly probable forecast transactions (i.e., notional amount and expected payment date). The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange and forward contracts are recognized in profit or loss. Amounts reclassified from cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss are recordedidentical to the same functional expense as hedged item or items. Gains or losses related to the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges, if any, are recognized immediately in the same functional expense as the hedged item or items.risk components. We measure ineffectiveness in a cash flow hedge relationship using the hypothetical derivative method. Ineffectiveness occurs only if the present value of the cumulative gain or loss on the derivative instrument exceeds the present value of the cumulative gain or loss on the hypothetical derivative, which is used to measure changes of expected future cash flow. Ineffectiveness mainly rises from the differences in the timing of the cash flows of the hedged items and the hedging instruments.
It is our policy to enter into cash flow hedges to hedge cost of revenues and operating expenses up to 1824 months.
F-22


Balance sheet hedging
We also enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of certain foreign currency denominated as monetary assets and liabilities to reduce the risk that such foreign currency assets or liabilities will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These contracts hedge monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in non-functional currencies and are carried at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded to other non-operating income (expense), net on our consolidated statements of operations.currencies. These contracts do not subject us to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these derivatives are intended to offset gains and losses on the monetary assets and liabilities being hedged.


Foreign currency sensitivityexchange rate exposure
A
The Group hedges material foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities using balance sheet hedges. The fluctuations in the fair market value of balance sheet hedges due to foreign currency rates generally offset those of the hedged items, resulting in no material effect on profit. Consequently, we are primarily exposed to significant foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with regard to the spot component of derivatives held within a designated cash flow hedge relationship affecting other comprehensive income.

Equity Price Risk
The Group is exposed to equity price risk in connection with our Notes, including exchange and settlement provisions based on the price of our Class A ordinary shares at exchange or maturity of the Notes. In addition, the capped call transactions associated with the Notes also include settlement provisions that are based on the price of our Class A ordinary shares. The amount of cash we may receive from capped call counterparties in connection with the capped calls is determined by the price of our Class A ordinary shares. The Group is also exposed to equity price risk in connection with our equity investments. The Group’s marketable equity investments are susceptible to market price risk from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities.

Interest rate risk
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the Group entered into a $1 billion senior unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $500 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures in October 2025 and bears a variable interest rate. Please refer to Note 16, “Debt” for the details of the Credit Facility.
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk arising from our variable interest rate Credit Facility. The Group’s financial risk management policy is reviewed annually by the Group’s Audit Committee and requires the Group to monitor its interest rate exposure on a regular basis.
We have a hedging program in place and enter into derivative transactions to manage the variable interest rate risks that arise with the Group’s Term Loan Facility. We enter into master netting agreements with financial institutions to execute our hedging program. Our master netting agreements are with select financial institutions to reduce our credit risk, and we trade with several counterparties to reduce our concentration risk with any single counterparty. We do not have significant exposure to counterparty credit risk at this time. We do not require nor are we required to post collateral of any kind related to our interest rate derivatives.

We enter into interest rate swaps with the objective to hedge the variability of cash flows in the interest payments associated with our variable-rate Term Loan Facility. The interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and measured at fair value. As of June 30, 2021, we have entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $650 million.
In addition, our cash equivalents and investment portfolio are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. As of June 30, 2018,2021, the Group had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1.4 billion$919.2 million and short-term investments totaling $323.1$313.0 million.

AThe following table sets forth an interest rate sensitivity analysis performed on our portfolio indicated thatof a hypothetical 100 basis point increasechange in interest rates at June 30, 2018 and 2017 would result in a $1.7 million and $2.0 million decrease in the market value of our investments, respectively.rates.

Credit risk
The Group is exposed to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments, foreign exchange and interest rate derivative contracts, and capped call transactions related to our issuance of the Notes, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. Credit risk is managed on a Group basis.
The Group has a minimum credit rating requirement for banks and financial institutions with which it transacts. The Group’s investments are governed by a corporate investment policy with a minimum credit ratingsrating and concentration limits for all securities.
F-24


The Group is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to our foreign exchange and interest rate derivative contracts and our capped call transactions at maturity. To reduce the credit risk, we continuously monitor credit quality of our counterparties to such derivatives. We believe the risk of non-performance under these contracts is remote.
The Group's customer base is highly diversified, thereby limiting credit risk. The Group manages its credit risk with customers by closely monitoring its receivables. Sales are typically settled using major credit cards, mitigating credit risk. Our credit policy typically requires payment within 30-45 days, and we establish credit limits for each customer based on our internal guidelines. No one customer accountedThe Group does not hold collateral as security or call on other credit enhancements. The Group manages its credit risk with customers by closely monitoring its receivables and contract assets. We continuously monitor outstanding receivables locally to assess whether there is objective evidence that our trade receivables and contract assets are credit-impaired. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure ECLs. The provision rates are based on days past due. Please refer to Note 9, “Trade Receivables for more than 10%the details of total revenues during each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018, 2017 or 2016.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the group will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities as they fall due. The Group’s primary source of cash is cash generated from business operations.
The table below presentpresents the contractual undiscounted cash flows relating to the Group’s financial liabilities at the balance sheet date. The cash flows are grouped based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date. The Group has sufficient funds, including its cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, expected cash flows from operations and access to the Credit Facility, to meet these commitments as they become due. The Group may enter into financial transactions to secure additional funding to supplement existing cash flows or to maintain financial flexibility.

Fair value measurementsValue Measurements
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
IFRS 13, Fair value measurement defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either, in the principle market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
IFRS 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is included in Level 1.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to measure the fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Group's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. There were no transfers between levels during fiscal year 2018 and 2017.

Level 3 financial instruments disclosure
In April 2018, Atlassian Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $1 billion in Notes and entered into related capped call transactions. Please refer to Note 16, “Debt” for details. Exchange and Capped Call Derivatives are classified as Level 3. The exchange feature of the Notes is valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Group used stock price volatility implied from its listed options with a shorter term for valuation of the exchange feature of the Notes, which makes this an unobservable input that is significant to the valuation.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

The Notes embedded exchange derivative and capped call transactions (“Exchange and Capped Call Derivatives”) are measured at fair value using Black-Scholes option pricing models that utilizes both observable and unobservable market inputs.

Exchange and Capped Call Derivatives are classified as level 3 as the Group uses stock price volatility implied from options traded with a substantially shorter term, which makes this an unobservable input that is significant to the valuation. The stock price volatility as of June 30, 2018, ranged from 32.7% to 36.3%. Other inputs that are observable and significant for the valuation includes our stock price and time to expirationconsisted of the options.

In general, an increase in our stock price volatility would increase the fair value of the derivatives and would result in a net loss. The future impact on the other non-operating income (expense), net depends on how significant volatility changes independently and in relation to other inputs. As of June 30, 2018, a 10% higher volatility, holding other inputs constant would result in an approximately $23.5 million of additional loss.

The following table illustrates the changes in the balances of the capped call transaction and Notes embedded exchange derivative liability associated with the Notes, as reported in other non-current assets and other non-current liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position:following:

Among other changes, the Tax Act (i) reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, (ii) enacts limitations regarding the deductibility of interest expense, (iii) modifies the provisions relating to the limitations on deductions for executive compensation of publicly traded corporations, (iv) imposes new limitations on the utilization of net operating loss arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, (v) repeals the corporate alternative minimum tax and provides for a refund of existing alternative minimum tax credits, and (vi) creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings and certain related-party payments, which are referred to as the global intangible low-taxed income tax and the base erosion tax, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, the Group has completed the accounting for the federal tax effects of the Tax Act, however the Group’s analysis of the state impacts of the Tax Act related state non-conformity with certain provisions of the Tax Act is not yet complete. The accounting for the state impacts of the Tax Act will be completed in fiscal 2019, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 12.

As a result of the new U.S. federal statutory corporate tax rate of 21% contained within the Tax Act, the Group recorded non-cash charges of $16.9 million to tax expense and $16.9 million to equity to revalue the Group’s U.S. net deferred tax assets. Additionally, in December 2017, as a result of the Group’sassets:

Such evidence includes, but is not limited to, recent cumulative earnings or losses, expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdiction, and the Group recorded non-cash chargescarry-forward periods available for the utilization of $30.4 milliondeferred tax assets. The assessment of the recoverability of Australian and U.S. deferred tax assets will not change until there is sufficient evidence to tax expense and $25.8 million to equity to reduce the carrying value of these assets.

The assets are included in the Group’s quarterly assessmentat each reporting date, and are only recognized to the extent they are determined to be realizable.

The $34.5 million credited to equity in fiscal 2017, primarily represents the deferred tax benefit of share-based payments in excess of the cumulative expense recognized to date of the share-based award. The total deferred taxor benefit is determined using the intrinsic value of the share-based award as of each reporting date.
The $7.3 million adjustment in respect of income taxes payable in fiscal 2017 represents the utilization of net operating loss deferred tax assets against taxable income of prior years, resulting in a refund due to the Group of prior year taxes paid.

In May, 2018, the initial purchasers of the Notes exercised their option to purchase an additional $150 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, bringing the total aggregate principal amount of the Notes to $1 billion. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company, and are scheduled to mature on May 1, 2023, unless earlier exchanged, redeemed or repurchased. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.625% per year payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2018. The net proceeds from the offering of the Notes were approximately $990.0 million, after deducting issuance cost.

Share-based payments represent the current period’s expense related to the fair value of RSUs and share options issued to employees. Tax benefits from share plans represent the deferred tax benefit of share-based payments in excess of the expense already recognized over the life of the share-based award. The total deferred tax benefit is determined using the intrinsic value of the share-based award as at the reporting date. Issuance of ordinary shares for settlement of RSUs represents the release of ordinary shares to our employees as RSUs vest. Shares withheld related to net share settlementvest and reduces the share-based payments reserve.
Other components of RSUs represents the portion of employees' RSUs that were withheld to meet their withholding tax obligations upon the IPO vesting event. This settlement option was only offered upon our IPO, and following the IPO, employees’ RSUs are sold in order to cover their tax obligations.

17.18. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potential weighted-average dilutive shares. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.
Upon the closing of our IPO, all then-outstanding Series A preference shares automatically converted into 12.4 million Class A ordinary shares, all then-outstanding restricted shares automatically converted into 17.2 million Class A ordinary shares and all then-outstanding Series B preference shares automatically converted into an aggregate of 15.0 million Class B ordinary shares.
Prior to the IPO in fiscal year 2016, basic and diluted net income per share attributable to ordinary shareholders was presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating shares. The Group considered its then outstanding Series A preference shares and Series B preference shares to be participating securities. The rights of the holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares are identical, except with respect to voting, conversion and transfer rights. Under the two-class method, net income attributable to ordinary shareholders is determined by allocating undistributed earnings, calculated as net income less current period dividends paid to preference shares, between ordinary shares and preference shares based on their respective dividend allocations.
A reconciliation of the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss)loss per share is as follows:

21.22. Share-based Payments
The Group maintains four3 share-based employee compensation plans: the 2015 Share Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”); the 2014 Restricted Share Unit Plan (“2014 Plan”); the Atlassian Corporation Plc 2013 U.S. Share Option Plan (“2013 U.S. Option Plan”); and the Atlassian UK Employee Share Option Plan (together with the 2013 U.S. Option Plan, the “Option Plans”). In October 2015, the BoardCompany’s board of Directorsdirectors approved the 2015 Plan, and in November 2015, our shareholders adopted the 2015 Plan, effective on the date of our IPO, which serves as the successor to the 2014 Plan and the OptionOptions Plans, and provides for the issuance of incentive and nonstatutorynon-statutory share options, share appreciation rights, restricted share awards, RSUs, unrestricted share awards, cash-based awards, performance share awards, performance-based awards to covered employees, and dividend equivalent rights to qualified employees, directors and consultants. Under the 2015 Plan, a total of 20.7 million Class A ordinary shares were initially reserved for the issuance of awards, subject to automatic annual increases.
RSU grants generally vest over four years with 25% vesting on the one year anniversary of the date of grant and 1/12th of the remaining RSUs vest over the remaining three years, on a quarterly basis thereafter. Effective from April 2021, on-going RSU grants to existing employees vest evenly over four years on a quarterly basis. Performance-based RSUs have non-market performance vesting conditions. Individuals must continue to provide services to a Group entity in order to vest.
Prior to our IPO, RSUs issued under the 2014 Plan required the satisfaction of a time-based service condition as well as a liquidity condition, defined as a sale or listing of the Company. The liquidity condition was satisfied upon our IPO. Following our IPO, participants of the 2015 Plan and 2014 Plan must only continue to provide services to a Group entity over the time-based service period to be entitled to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the RSUs. Although no future awards will be granted under the 2014 Plan, it will continue to govern outstanding awards granted thereunder.
The Option Plans allowed for the issuance of options to purchase restricted shares. Effective upon our IPO, all restricted shares automatically converted to Class A ordinary shares and under the Option Plans, the shares underlying the options converted to Class A ordinary shares. Although no0 future awards will be granted under the Option Plans, they will continue to govern outstanding awards granted thereunder.

Under the Option Plans, share options have a contractual life of seven7 to ten10 years and typically follow a standard vesting schedule over a 4four year period: 25% vest on the one year anniversary and 1/48th monthly vesting for the 36 months thereafter. Individuals must continue to provide services to a Group entity in order to vest. Upon termination, all unvested options are forfeited and vested options must generally be exercised within three months.
