Oct. 31, 2024

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. Class A common stockholders is computed in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers unvested common stock to be participating securities, as the holders of such stock have the right to receive nonforfeitable dividends on a pari passu basis in the event that a dividend is declared on common stock.

Basic net loss per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. Class A common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Snowflake Inc. Class A common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Snowflake Inc. Class A common stock outstanding during the period, which excludes treasury stock. Diluted net loss per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. Class A common stockholders is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive Snowflake Inc. Class A common stock equivalents to the extent they are dilutive. For purposes of this calculation, stock options, RSUs, restricted common stock, ESPP Rights, and shares underlying the conversion option in the Notes are considered to be common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. Class A common stockholders as their effect is anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

The Company entered into the Capped Calls in connection with the Notes offering. The effect of the Capped Calls was also excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. Class A common stockholders as the effect of the Capped Calls would have been anti-dilutive. The Capped Calls are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s Class A common stock upon any conversion of the relevant series of the Notes.
