Substantial YoY Improvement in Free Cash Flow Margin(1)
Excluding $6 million in BoxWorks costs, FCF margin improved sequentially
FCF improvement due to:
• Improvements in non‐GAAP operating loss from prior quarter
• Cash flow from operations improving with tighter working capital
management
• End of significant HQ move costs
1. Free Cash Flow Margin = Free Cash Flow as a percentage of Revenue. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash (used in) provided by operating activities less
purchases of property and equipment, principal payments of capital lease obligations, and other items that did not or are not expected to require cash
settlement and which management considers to be outside of Box’s core business. Refer to the Appendix for the reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to the
