TEAM Q2-2018 Shareholder Letter From the CEOs Fellow shareholders, We closed out calendar year 2017 with another strong quarter of fnancial, customer and product growth. Revenue for the quarter was $212.6 million, up 43% year-over-year, with free cash fow of $67.8 million. As of December 31, 2017 we counted 112,571 companies as customers, 4,825 of whom were added in the quarter. This is the most net new customers we've ever added in a single quarter and another milestone on our way to unleashing the potential of every team. We saw solid demand across all our deployment options—Cloud, Server, and Data Center. We continue to land and expand with customers of all sizes, and across numerous industries and geographies. Of course, results like these don't “just happen.” They're driven by product innovations that make our customers more productive, the incredible ecosystem of vendors that partner with us, and the vibrant community of users we connect with through events like the upcoming Team Tour—all of which you’ll hear more about below. We'll also touch on our expanding U.S. footprint and the newest member of our executive team. Jira Service Desk embedded portals: coming to a site near you No matter what business you're in, whether your customers are internal or external, they're demanding easier access to service. That's why Jira Service Desk users can now embed a mini help portal that lets their customers raise service requests from any web page on their website or intranet, without having to navigate to a separate page on a diferent part of the site. It's like a help button at each customer's fngertips when they need it most. The embedded portal frst responds with answers stored in a knowledge base, so customers get the help they need without creating a barrage of new service tickets. With in-context help and fast access to troubleshooting information, Jira Service Desk is creating better experiences for both customers and service teams. Q2 FY18 2 Atlassian Home surfaces your most important work Imagine opening your computer each day and seeing all your highest-impact items collected into one place, no matter which tools you use to do your work. That is the vision of Atlassian Home—one of the exciting pillars of the Teamwork Platform we announced at Summit in September. By analyzing user interactions and data from across our products, we can now automatically surface the work that is most important to you, such as relevant Confuence pages or Jira issues. We began testing Home in October with our Jira and Confuence Cloud customers, and have received promising early feedback that will shape its development. In the words of one customer, “I mainly live in the new Home. The notifcation center is probably one of the best features that you could have introduced.” We’ll soon be adding Stride, Bitbucket, and Trello data to Home. The more data and products we add to Home, the more insights and value we can add to our customers’ experience over time. Completion of our new Cloud foundation We're pleased to announce the completion of the cloud infrastructure overhaul we mentioned last quarter (and which our CTO, Sri Viswanath, covered at our investor and fnancial analyst session in September). We began the migration of Jira and Confuence Cloud customers in early CY17 and are now running all instances on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The migration of Jira and Confuence rounds out our family of Cloud products that are running multi-tenanted on AWS. Along with the ability to ship product updates more efciently while being more cost-efective over time, the new cloud foundation ofers customers better performance and reduced latency thanks to the global Q2 FY18 3 distribution of our AWS data centers. Indeed, over 25% of Jira and Confuence Cloud customers are now hosted in the new AWS center we established in Ireland last May, which will serve a growing proportion of European customers. Our amazing ecosystem Our ability to serve teams of all types is seen not only in the breadth of our customer base but also in the vibrant ecosystem surrounding Atlassian. Our Atlassian Marketplace vendors ofer more than 3,500 apps that allow customers to tailor our products to their specifc needs. The Marketplace has generated over $350 million in total lifetime sales since its inception in 2012. The growth of the Atlassian ecosystem has enabled many Marketplace vendors to build thriving businesses in their own right. We profle a few of our super-star partners below. Adaptavist is a Platinum Solution Partner, exclusively serving the Atlassian ecosystem. They ofer Atlassian customers professional services, training, managed services, and road-tested, enterprise- friendly apps through the Atlassian Marketplace. With more than 15,000 copies actively running, their app ScriptRunner for Jira (available for Server and Cloud) is one of the most popular apps in the Marketplace. Adaptavist makes ScriptRunner apps across the Atlassian suite which allow for easy, powerful automation, UI customization, and complex workfow confguration. They launched ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud in September 2016, and the app has seen over 55% customer growth and more than 100% revenue growth in under a year. Portugal-based Xpand IT’s bread and butter was providing consulting services to larger markets in countries like Germany and the United Kingdom, until they discovered the Atlassian Marketplace. In 2013, they started building apps for Atlassian products, most notably Xray for automated test management in Jira Software. Since then, Atlassian apps have grown to become a multi-million dollar business for Xpand IT, and they expect to see continued exponential growth for the foreseeable future. Their four apps have netted more than 3,000 customers, including Tesla, Boeing, Intel, Nike and Walmart. Tempo started as just a few IT consultants working for a frm in Iceland who wanted to use Jira Software to track their hours, since they were already using it to manage their projects. Taking advantage of Jira's freely accessible APIs they built a time tracking app, initially just for their own use. When the Atlassian Marketplace was just getting started, they decided to ofer "Tempo Timesheets" there in case anyone else wanted to use it. Turns out a lot of people did. More than a decade later, Tempo has spun of into a standalone company with approximately 100 employees Q2 FY18 4 and 11,000 customers using their core products (their Atlassian apps), as well as the accompanying mobile apps, Chrome extensions, and integrations. To ensure that we have a ready-made ecosystem in place once our newest product, Stride, becomes available to all users, we hosted StrideCon this past quarter: a week-long event in Saratoga, California that brought Atlassian Marketplace vendors together with members of the Stride team. Over the course of that week, vendors worked with Stride’s API, building prototype apps and getting feedback on them. Look for apps that help teams turn conversation into action with Stride in new ways—coming soon to the Marketplace. Introducing Trello to Japan In 2013, Atlassian established an ofce in Yokohama, Japan ofering local sales and technical support. Japan has been an important international growth market for us ever since. In November, we were excited to ofcially introduce Trello to the Japanese market by launching an improved localized product, as well as partnerships with local companies like knowledge-sharing platform Qiita and group chat tool ChatWork as they build integrations with Trello. Engaging the Atlassian community with the Team Tour For the past nine years, we’ve brought teams together at Atlassian Summit to talk tools, practices and all things teamwork. Now we're taking the show on the road. The Atlassian Team Tour starts February 8th in Amsterdam, and will cross the globe with a total of ten stops on three continents. You can fnd out more at: https://www.atlassian.com/company/events/teamtour. Q2 FY18 5 The Team Tour serves to augment the thriving community we're creating both on the ground and online. Already, we have more than 1.1 million members registered with the Atlassian Community website—a user-driven Q&A forum (which you can fnd at https://community.atlassian.com/). Meanwhile, local Atlassian User Groups (AUGs) which meet regularly to share tips and learn about product updates, have grown to include more than 30,000 members in over 150 cities. In just this most recent quarter, more than 3,600 AUG members got together at over 175 events. We’re excited to strengthen our relationships with users such as these by engaging with them in person on their home turf. Expanding our U.S. footprint We are undergoing expansions that will allow us to continue scaling our employee base in the Bay Area, with Atlassians in San Francisco and Mountain View gearing up for new ofces. We’re committed to investing in engineering and product development, and recently moved to a bigger space in Mountain View—the heart of Silicon Valley—to help us continue to attract and retain top talent. Just north in San Francisco, we’ve signed a lease for a larger ofce, which will be ready for move-in late in CY 2018. Welcoming new CFO James Beer We are thrilled to announce that James Beer will join Atlassian as chief fnancial ofcer on February 20, 2018. Since 2013, James has served as executive vice president and chief fnancial ofcer of McKesson Corporation, overseeing all fnance functions. Prior to his tenure at McKesson, James spent eight years as the executive vice president and chief fnancial ofcer of Symantec Corporation, managing the worldwide fnance organization.

  • TEAM Q4-2019 Shareholder Letter
    Shareholder Letter Q4 FY19 and Fiscal 2019 | July 25, 2019 From the CEOs Fellow shareholders, Fiscal 2019 was another outstanding year for Atlassian. We surpassed 150,000 customers and vaulted past the $1 billion revenue mark for the first time in a fiscal year. This year also saw a number of important advances in our products aimed to better serve our customers: Trello Trello reinforced its status as a go-to collaboration tool in the workplace, serving more than 80% of the Fortune 500. In Okta's 2019 Businesses @ Work report, Trello was cited as the most widely adopted project management app at work. We introduced powerful organization-wide features for Trello Enterprise and made automation a more integral part of Trello with the addition of Butler for Trello. Jira family We improved the overall user experience of our Jira product family by simplifying the interface for new users and enhancing features for more advanced users. This combination of simplicity and power keeps Jira Software the industry standard for managing work in software teams. Cloud for We introduced an early access program for large enterprises, expanding enterprises support from 5,000 to 10,000 users. Cloud We introduced an early access program for Cloud Premium Editions of Jira Premium Software and Confluence targeting more sophisticated and larger customers. These new editions combine advanced end-user features with additional platform capabilities around uptime, service levels and data storage. Access We saw continued momentum from one of our newest products, Atlassian Access. Access provides company-wide security and policy administration across multiple Atlassian products, and already supports hundreds of thousands of users in its first year.

  • A Microsoft Office for Software Development with a Growing Moat, Large TAM and High-Quality Management
    Company: Atlassian (NasdaqGS: TEAM) Rainbow Chik Recommendation: Long [email protected] Price Target: $422 (79% upside/ 21% 3-yr IRR) A Microsoft Office for software development with a growing moat, large TAM and high-quality management KEY STATISTICS TRADING CHART EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Atlassian is a high-quality SaaS market leader that offers mission critical workplace collaboration and Application Development software. It is analogous to Microsoft Office for software development and is the oil that powers software development from planning, coding, deployment, support and collaboration. I believe TEAM is undervalued as the market (1) underappreciates TEAM’s moat expansion as a result of cloud migration, (2) underestimates TEAM’s strong network effect expanding in the large knowledge worker TAM, (3) overlooks management quality being long-term owner- operator and prudent capital allocator. The recently announced migration from perpetual licenses to cloud subscription presents a unique window to invest. Investors are concerned about the short-term revenue headwind and churn risk as a result of cloud migration, but my research suggests that it masked the better business potential given it leads to higher pricing power in a win-win situation and much stickier customers in the long-term. My base case valuation suggests a 79% upside from its current valuation at $236 ($423 target price). This is based upon sustained strong customer growth and subscription revenue per customer growth during and post-cloud-migration from my research. In addition, my bull/ bear case analysis suggests an attractive 3.5x upside/ downside ratio. COMPANY OVERVIEW Atlassian = Microsoft Office for software development Founded in 2002, Atlassian is an Australian SaaS market leader.

Our report dives into how organizations and people work today — exploring workforces and customers, and the applications and services they use to be productive. Our most recent annual Businesses at Work report launched in January 2021. This update dips into fresh data, revealing some important changes in how companies are gearing up for 2021. Last spring, as the pandemic became a global concern, our worlds were flooded with change. We turned to technology to stay afloat. Families scrambled to get equipped for remote learning, companies rushed to support their remote workforces, and organizations quickly developed new online experiences for customers. As the pandemic accelerated, tech solutions once preferred only by “early adopters” became survival tools for companies across all industries, and the population as a whole. It’s from this unprecedented lens that we view the data from Okta’s more than 10,000 customers and the Okta Integration Network (OIN), which includes over 7,000 integrations with cloud, mobile and web apps, as well as IT infrastructure providers. Our top apps underscore the new necessities of remote work: collaboration, security, employee engagement..

  • Assessing the Security of Android Dating Apps Värdering Av
    DEGREE PROJECT IN COMPUTER ENGINEERING, FIRST CYCLE, 15 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2020 Assessing the Security of Android Dating Apps Värdering av säkerheten i dating- appar för Android HAMPUS HAUFFMAN ADAM MEYER KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES IN CHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND HEALTH Assessing the Security of Android Dating Apps HAMPUS HAUFFMAN, ADAM MEYER Degree Programme in Computer Engineering Date: June 7, 2020 Supervisor: Shahid Raza Examiner: Ibrahim Orhan School of Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health Swedish title: Värdering av säkerheten i dating-appar för Android iii Abstract Dating apps are continuously becoming a larger part of the social media mar- ket. Like any social media app, dating apps utilize a large amount of personal data. This thesis analyzes two dating apps and how they handle personal infor- mation from a security and privacy standpoint. This was done by conceptual- izing a threat model and then validating the threat through penetration testing on both of the apps in an attempt to find security vulnerabilities. This analysis proves that there is a substantial difference in whether or not app developers take security seriously or not. It was found that in one of the two apps analyzed, gaining access to personal data was particularly more trivial than expected, as TLS or other encryption were not implemented and server-side authorization was lacking in important app features like the one-to-one user chat. Keywords – Penetration testing, ethical hacking, dating apps, Android, reverse engineering, threat modeling, risk rating iv Sammanfattning Dating-appar blir kontinuerligt en större del av moderna sociala medier.

  • Moving Your Team from Hipchat to Slack: Part One
    Moving Your Team from HipChat to Slack: Part One In late July 2018, Atlassian announced it would be entering a “strategic partnership” with Slack. HipChat will shut down for good on February 15, 2019, which means that businesses using the service must be fully transitioned to Slack (or another collaboration platform) before that date. This news came as quite a shock to HipChat users, given Atlassian’s stated commitment to carving out its own corner of the busy real-time team communications market (the company released Stride, a new workplace communications product, just a few months ago). But Atlassian’s sudden and dramatic about-face was an inevitable reaction to the pressures of its chosen marketplace. Image: Slack’s Twitter announcement [email protected] 1 www.teampay.co Why Slack won Unlike Atlassian, Slack has been gaining market share at a remarkable rate: the company boasted in May that it had reached over eight million daily users and that 65% of the Fortune 100 companies were now paid Slack subscribers. Source: Slack Slack’s impressively broad integration options are a core component of its success; users of InVision, Trello, GitHub, Salesforce and many other popular SaaS platforms can install plug-and-play apps to link these platforms with Slack. That makes it a much “stickier” team collaboration option than, say, HipChat (which has a far smaller pool of available integrations) and greatly reduces customer churn. Whatever commercial software products and platforms you work with, there’s likely to be an app for that in Slack’s App Directory. Even direct competitors Google and Microsoft have worked with Slack to develop integration apps for their products.
