ARR is calculated by dividing the total contract value of each contract with a term of at least 12 months by the number of years in the term. ARR represents the annualized contract value for all active and contractually binding term-based contracts at the end of a period. Management uses ARR to understand customer trends and the overall health of the Company's business, helping it to formulate strategic business decisions. ARR is a performance metric and should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue, and is not intended to be a substitute for, or combined with, any of these GAAP financial measures.
