Note: Net retention rate is defined as the net percentage of Total Annual Recurring Revenue (Total ARR) retained from existing customers, including expansion. In calculating our
net retention rate, we include only Total ARR associated with those customers who have subscribed to Box for at least 12 months. We calculate our net retention rate by dividing 8
the current period total ARR of these customers by the prior period total ARR.

(1) As our business has become consistently profitable, we have released valuation allowances associated with certain deferred tax assets. Accordingly, in fiscal year 2026 we will be recognizing deferred tax expenses. This non-cash expense is reflected in our GAAP and non-GAAP diluted net income per share guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 and full fiscal year 2026. Within the impacts presented in this table, $0.19 and $0.61 represent the deferred tax expenses for fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 and full fiscal year 2026, respectively.
