This presentation includes express and implied “forward-looking statements”, including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private 
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, and in some cases, can be identified 
by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” 
“should,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking 
statements contained in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our estimates of market size and opportunity, strategic plans 
or objectives, our growth prospects, projections (including our long-term model), the Channel File 291 Incident, our product roadmap and future initiatives, and 
the performance and benefits of our products. By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including factors beyond our 
control, that could cause actual results, performance or achievement to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the statements. 
Such risks and uncertainties are described in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent Form 10-K, most recent Form 10-Q, and subsequent filings with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission. Although our management believes that the expectations reflected in our statements are reasonable, we cannot 
guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances described in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or 
occur. Recipients are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements are made 
and should not be construed as statements of fact. Except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update these 
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 
Information in this presentation on new products, features, and functionality, including our expectations with respect to the development, release and timing 
thereof, is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon. 
Certain information contained in this presentation and statements made orally during this presentation relate to or are based on studies, publications, surveys 
and other data obtained from third-party sources and CrowdStrike’s own internal estimates and research. While CrowdStrike believes these third-party 
studies, publications, surveys and other data to be reliable as of the date of this presentation, it has not independently verified, and makes no representations 
as to the adequacy, fairness, accuracy or completeness of, any information obtained from third-party sources. In addition, no independent source has 
evaluated the reasonableness or accuracy of CrowdStrike’s internal estimates or research and no reliance should be made on any information or statements 
made in this presentation relating to or based on such internal estimates and research.

    Financial Information
® CrowdStrike, Inc. All rights reserved.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we believe non-GAAP measures used in 
this presentation, such as non-GAAP Gross Margins, non-GAAP Operating Expenses, and Free Cash Flow, are useful in evaluating our operating 
performance. We use such non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We 
believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with 
past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as these measures eliminate the effects of certain variables unrelated 
to our overall operating performance. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or 
may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for 
comparison. In addition, the utility of free cash flow as a measure of our financial performance and liquidity is limited as it does not represent the total 
increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period. 
Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly 
comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Please see the appendix included at the end of this presentation for a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP 
measures to historical GAAP measures.
Our Fiscal Year
Our fiscal year end is January 31, and our fiscal quarters end on April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31. Our fiscal years ended January 31, 2023, 2024 
and 2025 are referred to herein as fiscal 2023, 2024 and 2025 respectively.

CrowdStrike is providing the following guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 (ending October 31, 2024) and full fiscal year 2025 (ending January 31, 2025). Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes stock-based 
compensation expense, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets (including purchased patents), amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, mark-to-market adjustments on deferred compensation liabilities, legal 
reserve and settlement charges or benefits, Channel File 291 Incident related costs, acquisition-related provision (benefit) for income taxes, losses (gains) and other income from strategic investments, acquisition-related expenses 
(credits), net, and losses (gains) from deferred compensation assets. The Company has not provided the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain items are out of the Company's control or cannot be reasonably 
predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation for non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income attributable to CrowdStrike, and non-GAAP net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders is not 
available without unreasonable effort.
These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially as a result of many factors. Refer to the Forward-Looking Statements safe harbor for information on the factors that could cause the Company's actual 
results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
Guidance

    Revenue
As reflected in our revenue guidance, in the short-term, we expect our customer 
commitment packages will result in temporarily muted upsell dollar values and temporarily 
higher than typical levels of contraction due to elongated subscription terms. We estimate 
these packages will impact net new ARR and subscription revenue by approximately $60 
million and professional services revenue by high-single digit million dollars in the back half 
of FY25. 
We expect to have increased flexible payment terms for our customers and we will 
incur additional G&A costs associated with the Channel File 291 Incident. At this point 
in time, we are not providing a free cash flow margin expectation for the full year. Free Cash Flow Margin

    Appendix
Calculation of metrics
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). 
ARR is calculated as the annualized value of our customer subscription contracts as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on its existing terms. To the 
extent that we are negotiating a renewal with a customer after the expiration of the subscription, we continue to include that revenue in ARR if we are actively in discussion with such an organization for a new 
subscription or renewal, or until such organization notifies us that it is not renewing its subscription.
Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate. 
Our dollar-based net retention rate compares our ARR from a set of subscription customers against the same metric for those subscription customers from the prior year. Our dollar-based net retention rate reflects 
customer renewals, expansion, contraction and churn, and excludes revenue from our incident response and proactive services. We calculate our dollar-based net retention rate as of period end by starting with 
the ARR from all subscription customers as of 12 months prior to such period end, or Prior Period ARR. We then calculate the ARR from these same subscription customers as of the current period end, or Current 
Period ARR. Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or churn over the trailing 12 months but excludes revenue from new subscription customers in the current period. We then divide 
the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at our dollar-based retention rate.
Dollar-Based Gross Retention Rate. 
We calculate our dollar-based gross retention rate as of the period end by starting with the ARR from all subscription customers as of 12 months prior to such period, or Prior Period ARR. We then deduct from the 
Prior Period ARR any ARR from subscription customers who are no longer customers as of the current period end, or Current Period Remaining ARR. We then divide the total Current Period Remaining ARR by the 
total Prior Period ARR to arrive at our dollar-based gross retention rate, which is the percentage of ARR from all subscription customers as of the year prior that is not lost to customer churn.
Gross Churn. 
Our dollar-based gross churn rate is equal to 1 - Dollar-Based Gross Retention Rate.
Free Cash Flow Rule of 40.
Free cash flow rule of 40 is calculated by taking the Current Quarter Total Revenue YoY Growth Rate + Current Quarter Free Cash Flow Margin.
Module Adoption Rates.
Module adoption rates are calculated by taking the total number of customers with five or more, six or more, and seven or more modules, respectively, divided by the total number of subscription customers 
(excluding Falcon Go customers). Falcon Go customers are defined as customers who have subscribed with the Falcon Go bundle, a package designed for organizations with 100 endpoints or less.
White circle on slide 11 represents the percentage of customers with $100K or more in ending ARR that have 8 adopted or more modules as of Q2 FY25.
Cloud Security.
We use the term “Cloud Security” on slides 12, 13, and 17 to refer to a category previously referred to as “Public Cloud Deployed”.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP Subscription Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Subscription Gross Margin
We define non-GAAP subscription gross profit and non-GAAP subscription gross margin as GAAP subscription gross profit and GAAP subscription gross margin, respectively, 
excluding stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets. 
Non-GAAP Income from Operations 
We define non-GAAP income from operations as GAAP income (loss) from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets 
(including purchased patents), acquisition-related expenses (credits), net, mark-to-market adjustments on deferred compensation liabilities, legal reserve and settlement charges or 
benefits, and Channel File 291 Incident related costs.
Non-GAAP Net Income Attributable to CrowdStrike
We define non-GAAP net income attributable to CrowdStrike as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to CrowdStrike excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of 
acquired intangible assets (including purchased patents), acquisition-related expenses (credits),net, amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, mark-to-market adjustments 
on deferred compensation liabilities, legal reserve and settlement charges or benefits, Channel File 291 Incident related costs, acquisition-related provision (benefit) for income taxes, 
losses (gains) and other income from strategic investments, and losses (gains) on deferred compensation assets.
Non-GAAP Net Income per Share Attributable to CrowdStrike Common Stockholders, Diluted
We define non-GAAP net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders, as non-GAAP net income attributable to CrowdStrike divided by the weighted-average 
shares outstanding, which includes the dilutive effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, capitalized 
internal-use software and website development costs, purchases of deferred compensation investments, and proceeds from sale of deferred compensation investments. We monitor 
free cash flow as one measure of our overall business performance, which enable us to analyze our future performance without the effects of non-cash items and allow us to better 
understand the cash needs of our business. While we believe that free cash flow is useful in evaluating our business, free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that has 
limitations as an analytical tool, and free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to, or substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities in accordance with GAAP. 
The utility of free cash flow as a measure of our liquidity is further limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for any given period. In addition, 
other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate free cash flow differently or not at all, which reduces the usefulness of free cash flow as a tool for comparison.

    • 1. Financial Results Q2 FY 2025 ® CrowdStrike, Inc. All rights reserved.
    • 2. Safe Harbor ® CrowdStrike, Inc. All rights reserved. This presentation includes express and implied “forward-looking statements”, including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, and in some cases, can be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our estimates of market size and opportunity, strategic plans or objectives, our growth prospects, projections (including our long-term model), the Channel File 291 Incident, our product roadmap and future initiatives, and the performance and benefits of our products. By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including factors beyond our control, that could cause actual results, performance or achievement to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the statements. Such risks and uncertainties are described in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent Form 10-K, most recent Form 10-Q, and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although our management believes that the expectations reflected in our statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances described in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Recipients are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements are made and should not be construed as statements of fact. Except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Information in this presentation on new products, features, and functionality, including our expectations with respect to the development, release and timing thereof, is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon. Certain information contained in this presentation and statements made orally during this presentation relate to or are based on studies, publications, surveys and other data obtained from third-party sources and CrowdStrike’s own internal estimates and research. While CrowdStrike believes these third-party studies, publications, surveys and other data to be reliable as of the date of this presentation, it has not independently verified, and makes no representations as to the adequacy, fairness, accuracy or completeness of, any information obtained from third-party sources. In addition, no independent source has evaluated the reasonableness or accuracy of CrowdStrike’s internal estimates or research and no reliance should be made on any information or statements made in this presentation relating to or based on such internal estimates and research.
    • 3. Financial Information ® CrowdStrike, Inc. All rights reserved. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we believe non-GAAP measures used in this presentation, such as non-GAAP Gross Margins, non-GAAP Operating Expenses, and Free Cash Flow, are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use such non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as these measures eliminate the effects of certain variables unrelated to our overall operating performance. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. In addition, the utility of free cash flow as a measure of our financial performance and liquidity is limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Please see the appendix included at the end of this presentation for a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP measures to historical GAAP measures. Our Fiscal Year Our fiscal year end is January 31, and our fiscal quarters end on April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31. Our fiscal years ended January 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 are referred to herein as fiscal 2023, 2024 and 2025 respectively.

    • 19. Revenue As reflected in our revenue guidance, in the short-term, we expect our customer commitment packages will result in temporarily muted upsell dollar values and temporarily higher than typical levels of contraction due to elongated subscription terms. We estimate these packages will impact net new ARR and subscription revenue by approximately $60 million and professional services revenue by high-single digit million dollars in the back half of FY25. We expect to have increased flexible payment terms for our customers and we will incur additional G&A costs associated with the Channel File 291 Incident. At this point in time, we are not providing a free cash flow margin expectation for the full year. Free Cash Flow Margin Modeling Points ® CrowdStrike, Inc. All rights reserved.

    • 21. Appendix ® CrowdStrike, Inc. All rights reserved.
    • 22. Appendix Calculation of metrics Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). ARR is calculated as the annualized value of our customer subscription contracts as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on its existing terms. To the extent that we are negotiating a renewal with a customer after the expiration of the subscription, we continue to include that revenue in ARR if we are actively in discussion with such an organization for a new subscription or renewal, or until such organization notifies us that it is not renewing its subscription. Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate. Our dollar-based net retention rate compares our ARR from a set of subscription customers against the same metric for those subscription customers from the prior year. Our dollar-based net retention rate reflects customer renewals, expansion, contraction and churn, and excludes revenue from our incident response and proactive services. We calculate our dollar-based net retention rate as of period end by starting with the ARR from all subscription customers as of 12 months prior to such period end, or Prior Period ARR. We then calculate the ARR from these same subscription customers as of the current period end, or Current Period ARR. Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or churn over the trailing 12 months but excludes revenue from new subscription customers in the current period. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at our dollar-based retention rate. Dollar-Based Gross Retention Rate. We calculate our dollar-based gross retention rate as of the period end by starting with the ARR from all subscription customers as of 12 months prior to such period, or Prior Period ARR. We then deduct from the Prior Period ARR any ARR from subscription customers who are no longer customers as of the current period end, or Current Period Remaining ARR. We then divide the total Current Period Remaining ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at our dollar-based gross retention rate, which is the percentage of ARR from all subscription customers as of the year prior that is not lost to customer churn. Gross Churn. Our dollar-based gross churn rate is equal to 1 - Dollar-Based Gross Retention Rate. Free Cash Flow Rule of 40. Free cash flow rule of 40 is calculated by taking the Current Quarter Total Revenue YoY Growth Rate + Current Quarter Free Cash Flow Margin. Module Adoption Rates. Module adoption rates are calculated by taking the total number of customers with five or more, six or more, and seven or more modules, respectively, divided by the total number of subscription customers (excluding Falcon Go customers). Falcon Go customers are defined as customers who have subscribed with the Falcon Go bundle, a package designed for organizations with 100 endpoints or less. White circle on slide 11 represents the percentage of customers with $100K or more in ending ARR that have 8 adopted or more modules as of Q2 FY25. Cloud Security. We use the term “Cloud Security” on slides 12, 13, and 17 to refer to a category previously referred to as “Public Cloud Deployed”. ® CrowdStrike, Inc. All rights reserved.

    • 24. Appendix (cont’d) ® CrowdStrike, Inc. All rights reserved. Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP Subscription Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Subscription Gross Margin We define non-GAAP subscription gross profit and non-GAAP subscription gross margin as GAAP subscription gross profit and GAAP subscription gross margin, respectively, excluding stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Non-GAAP Income from Operations We define non-GAAP income from operations as GAAP income (loss) from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets (including purchased patents), acquisition-related expenses (credits), net, mark-to-market adjustments on deferred compensation liabilities, legal reserve and settlement charges or benefits, and Channel File 291 Incident related costs. Non-GAAP Net Income Attributable to CrowdStrike We define non-GAAP net income attributable to CrowdStrike as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to CrowdStrike excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets (including purchased patents), acquisition-related expenses (credits),net, amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, mark-to-market adjustments on deferred compensation liabilities, legal reserve and settlement charges or benefits, Channel File 291 Incident related costs, acquisition-related provision (benefit) for income taxes, losses (gains) and other income from strategic investments, and losses (gains) on deferred compensation assets. Non-GAAP Net Income per Share Attributable to CrowdStrike Common Stockholders, Diluted We define non-GAAP net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders, as non-GAAP net income attributable to CrowdStrike divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding, which includes the dilutive effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Free Cash Flow Free Cash Flow Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, capitalized internal-use software and website development costs, purchases of deferred compensation investments, and proceeds from sale of deferred compensation investments. We monitor free cash flow as one measure of our overall business performance, which enable us to analyze our future performance without the effects of non-cash items and allow us to better understand the cash needs of our business. While we believe that free cash flow is useful in evaluating our business, free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that has limitations as an analytical tool, and free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to, or substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities in accordance with GAAP. The utility of free cash flow as a measure of our liquidity is further limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for any given period. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate free cash flow differently or not at all, which reduces the usefulness of free cash flow as a tool for comparison.
