• Cloud, enterprise and ITSM were strategic growth priorities; management highlighted customer migrations, enterprise demand and generative AI capabilities.

Financial highlights

• GAAP operating loss was $345M versus $70M operating income in FY22; GAAP net loss was $487M versus $520M, and diluted loss per share was $1.90 versus $2.05.

• Adjusted for stock-based compensation, acquired-intangible amortization, restructuring and other specified items, non-GAAP operating income was $723M and non-GAAP net income was $492M.

• Operating cash flow was $868M; free cash flow was $842M, up $92M YoY, reflecting higher operating cash generation and lower capital expenditures.

Outlook and guidance

• Subscription revenue is expected to remain the primary growth driver as customers migrate to Cloud and Data Center; Server revenue is expected to contract and maintenance revenue to decline.

• Gross margin is expected to decrease with the mix shift toward Cloud, driven primarily by higher hosting and customer-support costs.

• Larger-customer cloud migrations remained a key priority; existing cash, operating cash generation and credit-facility capacity were expected to cover anticipated needs for at least 12 months.
