Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

2

This presentation contains “forward-looking” statements, as that term is defined under the federal securities laws. Any statement that refers toexpectations, projections or other characterizations of future events, including financial projections and future market conditions, is a forward-looking statement. Statements included in this presentation that are forward-looking statements include but are not limited to statements regardingmarket trends and opportunity, our future financial performance, such as our outlook on financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018and for the full fiscal year 2018, including revenue, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP earnings per share, deferred revenue, operating cashflow, free cash flow, gross margin, capital expenditures, and expenses as a percentage of revenue. These forward-looking statements are basedon our assumptions, expectations and beliefs as of the date of this presentation and are subject to substantial risks, uncertainties, assumptions,and changes in circumstances that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed orimplied in any forward-looking statement. We assume no obligation and do not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except asrequired by law. For more information about factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements, please referto our August 3, 2017 press release, as well as the risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), includingour most recent Form 10-K filed with the SEC, particularly in the section titled Risk Factors.

This presentation also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures are inaddition to, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number oflimitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies maycalculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce theusefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Please refer to our August 3, 2017 press release for additionalinformation as to why we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and others in assessing our operating performance.As required by Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation of those measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures, which isavailable in the appendix to this presentation. However, we have not reconciled our expectations as to non-GAAP operating loss and income, non-GAAP earnings per share, gross margin, operating margin, non-GAAP expenses as a percentage of revenue, or free cash flow in future periods totheir most directly comparable GAAP measure because certain items, namely stock-based compensation, lawsuit litigation expenses and employerpayroll taxes on equity incentive plans, are out of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliation is not available withoutunreasonable effort, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Appendix – Definitions

Monthly and Annual Recurring Revenue (MRR and ARR)Our monthly recurring revenue represents the revenue that we would contractually expect to receive from those customers over the following month, without any increase or reduction in any of their subscriptions. Similarly, annual recurring revenue represents the revenue that New Relic would contractually expect to receive from those customers over the following 12-month period, without any increase or reduction in any of their subscriptions.

Enterprise ARR is defined as ARR from paid business accounts with >1,000 employees.

Number of Paid Business AccountsWe define the number of paid business accounts at the end of any particular period as the number of accounts at the end of the period as identified by a unique account identifier for which we have recognized revenue on the last day of the period indicated. A single organization or customer may have multiple paid business accounts for separate divisions, segments, or subsidiaries. We define an enterprise paid business account as a paid business account that we measure to have over 1,000 employees.

>$100K and >$1M / year paid business accounts represents paid business accounts who have ARR greater than $100,000 or $1,000,000, respectively.

We define our annualized revenue per average paid business account as the annualized revenue for the current period divided by the average of the number of paid business accounts at the end of the current period and the end of the prior period.

Dollar-Based Net Expansion RateOur dollar-based net expansion rate compares our recurring subscription revenue from customers from one period to the next. We measure our dollar-based net expansion rate on a monthly basis because many of our customers change their subscriptions more frequently than quarterly or annually.

To calculate our annual dollar-based net expansion rate, we first establish the base period monthly recurring revenue from all our customers at the end of a month. This represents the revenue we would contractually expect to receive from those customers over the following month, without any increase or reduction in any of their subscriptions.

We then (i) calculate the actual monthly recurring revenue from those same customers at the end of that following month; then (ii) divide that following month’s recurring revenue by the base month’s recurring revenue to arrive at our monthly net expansion rate; then (iii) calculate a quarterly net expansion rate by compounding the net expansion rates of the three months in the quarter; and then (iv) calculate our annualized net expansion rate by compounding our quarterly net expansion rate over an annual period.

Free Cash FlowWe define free cash flow as cash from operating activities minus purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.
