Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, page 19

The Company respectfully submits that disclosure of revenue by sales channel as a supplement to ARR has limited usefulness to investors and is likely to be confusing. Given that ARR presents an annualized leading indicator of revenue in advance of when recognition occurs and excludes non-recurring items, the Company believes that presenting ARR is useful for guiding investors as to the revenue streams likely to occur. However, ARR is not directly tied to current GAAP revenue results, which represent the historical revenue recognized over the most recent period. Furthermore, ARR growth is a function of the Company’s ability to obtain new recurring agreements, whereas revenue recognition is a function of that as well as the period of time over which revenue is recognized.

To further illustrate this, contracts that are executed partway through a reporting period are fully reflected in the determination of ARR, regardless of the amount of revenue recognized during the period. Similarly, customers who do not renew their subscriptions at any point in a given reporting period are removed from ARR, ignoring the amount of revenue recognized in the period. In addition, one-time revenue such as professional services are excluded from the determination of ARR, regardless of the amount of revenue recognized in a reporting period. As a result, significant differences may exist in the underlying composition between ARR and revenue recognized on a GAAP basis, thereby limiting the usefulness of comparing these two metrics side by side and would likely result in substantial confusion between the metrics.
