On 7/19, Vail and Raven held a 3-hour diligence session covering Product / R&D, GTM, Financials, and People / HR.1 The session was constructive and largely validated the views presented to the Committee previously Diligence Area Key Observations and Takeaways • R&D effort split between K8S roadmap and continuing to support existing product Data / Gemfire renewals historically in the 40-75% range; 46% of up for renewal in H2 deemed “at risk” or “expected churn”2 1 2 Lazard attended the sessions covering Product / R&D, GTM and Financials, but not the session covering People / HR. Percentages on dollar basis reflect data for customers with ACV greater than $750K. 1 R&D / Product • Product roadmap oriented toward K8S, with two major efforts underway: Re-architect PAS to run on K8S Develop products that enable developers to build and deploy on K8S Raven is taking a “no workload left behind” approach; a different approach would allow for more rapid K8S development ~88 engineers out of ~875 R&D resources focused on K8S today GTM • New logos have been difficult to come by, and those that do come with lower ACV $11m of ACV ($7m for PCF) in Q1 was mostly “true-ups” from over-consumption 18 gross new and 6 net new PCF logos in Q1 ~$120k average ACV per new logo down from ~$600k two years ago and ~$300k in all of FY19 Financials • FY20 ACV forecast reduced from $240m pre-Q1 to $160m post-Q1 (~33% reduction) ACV forecast driven by historical conversion rates on H2 pipeline: 15-20% of new logo pipeline and 50-60% of expansion pipeline Historical conversion rates imply ~$30m of ACV must be booked in Q2 to be on track for FY ACV target (Q2 flash has been requested) • Renewal data: PCF renewals historically in the 60-90% range; 18% of up for renewal in H2 deemed “at risk” or “expected churn”2 • Have not received an up-to-date LRP LRP provided was built before Q1 earnings; Raven sensitized old LRP to provide an updated view, but did not rebuild a “P times Q” bottoms-up model Vail’s “judged” view has been developed independently of the LRP, and an updated LRP should not impact management’s view DRAFT - Presentation Materials are Highly Illustrative, Confidential and Subject to Further Revisions
