_____________________
1 Remaining performance obligations represent all contracted
future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including both
deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be
invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.
Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP
net income, and non-GAAP net income per share are non-GAAP
financial measures. Additional information on Qualtrics’ reported
results, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial
measures to their most comparable GAAP measures, is included in the
financial tables below. A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance
measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a
forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the
uncertainty of expenses that may be incurred in the future,
although it is important to note that these factors could be
material to Qualtrics’ results computed in accordance with
GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results, which are prepared and
presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP
financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate
our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures,
which may be different than similarly-titled measures used by other
companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall
understanding of our financial performance and should not be
considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial
information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful
information about our financial performance, enhance the overall
understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and
allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics
used by our management for financial and operational
decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP measures to
assist investors in seeing our financial performance using a
management view, and because we believe that these measures provide
an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core
financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in
our industry. You should consider non-GAAP results alongside other
financial performance measures and results presented in accordance
with GAAP. In addition, in evaluating non-GAAP results, you should
be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those
that are the subject of adjustments in deriving non-GAAP results
and you should not infer from our non-GAAP results that our future
results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or
non-recurring items.
Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP
operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income,
non-GAAP net income per share, free cash flow, free cash flow
margin: We define these non-GAAP financial measures as the
respective GAAP measures, excluding equity and cash settled
stock-based compensation expenses, including employer payroll tax
on employee stock transactions, amortization of acquired intangible
assets, acquisition related costs, changes in the fair value of our
distribution liability for our tax sharing agreement with SAP, and
the tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments, as applicable.
We revised our non-GAAP definitions during the current quarter
to exclude employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions.
The amount of employer payroll tax on employee stock transactions
is dependent on our stock price and other factors that are beyond
our control and do not correlate with the core operation of our
business. Going forward, we expect these expenses to increase
relative to prior periods as a result of the vesting of restricted
stock units (RSUs), and we believe it is useful to exclude these
expenses in order to help investors better understand the long-term
performance of our core business. The revisions to these
definitions had no material impact on our reported non-GAAP
financial measures for periods prior to the three months ended
March 31, 2022.
When evaluating the performance of our business and making
operating plans, we do not consider the items excluded from our
non-GAAP definitions (for example, when considering the impact of
equity award grants, we place a greater emphasis on overall
stockholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated
with such grants). We believe it is useful to exclude these items
in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core
business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of
peer companies and over multiple periods.

million cash-settled legacy restricted stock awards, restricted
stock unit (RSU) awards, and options (together, Qualtrics Rights)
and 1.3 million cash-settled SAP RSU awards were exchanged into
12.8 million equity-settled Qualtrics RSU awards, representing 93%
of the outstanding Qualtrics Rights and SAP RSU awards. On
September 13, 2021, the Company completed an additional voluntary
exchange offer for certain employees in Australian that were not
eligible for the January 28, 2021 exchange, pursuant to which less
than 0.1 million cash-settled Qualtrics Rights and SAP RSU awards
were exchanged and modified into equity-settled Qualtrics RSU
awards.
(2) During the three months ended March 31, 2022, employer
payroll tax on employee stock transactions reported in cost of
revenue was $0.7 million and employer payroll tax reported in
operating expenses was $11.3 million. Employer payroll tax on
employee stock transactions was not material during the three
months ended March 31, 2021. The amount of employer payroll
tax-related items on employee stock transactions is dependent on
our stock price and other factors that are beyond our control and
do not correlate with the operation of the business. When
evaluating the performance of our business and making operating
plans, we do not consider these items (for example, when
considering the impact of equity award grants, we place a greater
emphasis on overall stockholder dilution rather than the accounting
charges associated with such grants). We believe it is useful to
exclude these expenses in order to better understand the long-term
performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of
our results to those of peer companies and over multiple
periods.
