Note: Cloud ARR is defined as ARR from sale of Cloud products only. ARR for InsuranceSuite Cloud (IS Cloud) is defined as ARR from IS Cloud deals only. For self-managed customers upgrading to IS Cloud, the ARR of the migration contract is accounted for in its entirety in Cloud ARR upon start date of IS Cloud migration contract, with the previous self-managed ARR being reduced to zero.

Ramped Contracts Provide Tailwind to ARR

Fully Ramped ARR defined as:

  • Annualized value of recurring revenue at year five for ramped contracts
  • Ramped pricing agreed to with customers and based off pricing schedule outlined in contract
  • Pricing schedule may extend beyond the committed contract period
  • Pricing schedule is time-based and not milestone based

Q&A

Appendix

Customer Definition Update

  • Updated customer definition in Fiscal 2020 resulted in a lower aggregate count due to insurers previously counted as customers being consolidated under a single contracting entity
  • As of July 31, 2020, we had over 340 customers using this updated definition, approximately the same number as of July 31, 2019
  • Customers may represent multiple Insurance Brands and we have over 400 insurance brands using our software
  • As of July 31, 2020, we had 303 customers who have licensed one or more of our Core products, or core customers, for a total of $518 billion in DWP under license
  • As of July 31, 2019, we had 300 core customers for a total of $504 billion in DWP under license
