To provide better transparency, the company also discusses management performance metrics including annual recurring revenue, signings, and book-to- bill. The metrics are used to monitor the performance of the business and are viewed as useful decision-making information for management and stakeholders. The rationale for management’s use of these performance metrics and their calculation are included in the Management Discussion section of the company’s 2022 Annual Report, which is Exhibit 13 to the Form 10-K submitted with the SEC on February 28, 2023.
