Guidance

Yesterday, Salesforce announced that the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Informatica Inc. There is no anticipated impact to Salesforce’s FY26 guidance as a result of this transaction based on the expected close timing in early FY27.

With the U.S. dollar weakening in Q1, Salesforce now expects a currency tailwind for the business. This tailwind has been incorporated into the Company's updated FY26 guidance.

• Initiates second quarter FY26 revenue guidance of $10.11 billion to $10.16 billion, up 8% - 9% Y/Y and 7% - 8% in CC
• Raises full year FY26 revenue guidance to $41.0 billion to $41.3 billion, up 8% - 9% Y/Y and 8% in CC
• Maintains full year FY26 GAAP operating margin guidance of 21.6%, and non-GAAP operating margin guidance of 34.0%
• Maintains full year FY26 operating cash flow growth guidance of approximately 10% to 11% Y/Y
