Item 8.01 – Other Events
Expected Early Lock-Up Release Date
In connection with our initial public offering of Class A common stock (the “IPO”), all of our executive officers, directors and holders of our capital stock and securities convertible into or exchangeable for our capital stock as of the IPO entered into market standoff agreements with the Company or entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters that restrict their ability to sell or transfer their shares for a period of 180 days after March 22, 2018. We refer to such period as the lock-up period.
Pursuant to the lock-up agreements with the underwriters, if (i) at least 120 days have elapsed since March 22, 2018, (ii) we have publicly released our earnings results for the quarterly period during which our IPO occurred, and (iii) such lock-up period is scheduled to end during or within five trading days prior to a broadly applicable period during which trading in our securities would not be permitted under our insider trading policy, or a blackout period, such lock-up period will end ten trading days prior to the commencement of such blackout period.
The lock-up period is scheduled to end on September 18, 2018, which falls within our quarterly blackout period that commences at the close of trading on September 7, 2018. Therefore, in accordance with the lock-up agreements with the underwriters, the restricted period will end at the close of market on August 23, 2018, which is ten trading days prior to the commencement of our quarterly blackout period. We will also release our market standoff agreements when the restricted period expires.
We estimate that up to approximately 358.2 million shares of Class A common stock may become eligible for sale in the public market after the close of market on August 23, 2018 (subject to continued vesting of any unvested equity awards as of such date), of which approximately 205.4 million shares would be held by affiliates and subject to the volume and other restrictions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

COO Transition
Dropbox also announced that Dennis Woodside is stepping down as Chief Operating Officer. He’ll remain at the company until early September and serve as an advisor through the end of the year.
During his time at Dropbox, Dennis helped build a strong leadership bench, and Dropbox is proud to announce the promotion of two of these senior leaders. They’ll join the executive team, which will be restructured to take on Dennis’ responsibilities and drive even greater focus on our customers and partners. As a result, the company does not plan to hire another COO.

In this new role, she’ll be responsible for customer-focused business functions, including Global Sales, Marketing, Customer Experience, Business Development, and Business Strategy & Operations.

Most recently, she led Global Sales Strategy and Operations at Workday, and prior to that, she held senior positions at Appirio and SAP. |
• | Lin-Hua Wu, VP of Communications, will also report to CEO Drew Houston. Lin joined Dropbox in 2016 and oversees external and internal communications, and analyst relations. Her role will help ensure the company has the right market context informing its decisions, and that its communications are fully aligned with business strategy. Lin brings more than two decades of experience to Dropbox, coming most recently from Square, where she led Corporate Communications, and Brunswick Group, where she was a partner. |
“I’ve had an amazing four years at Dropbox, and am proud of what we’ve accomplished together. It’s been an honor to work with such exceptionally talented people and help grow and scale our business,” said Dennis. “I couldn’t be happier for Yamini and Lin on their promotions, and am confident that the new executive team will take the company to even greater heights.”
“We’re grateful for everything Dennis has done for us,” said Drew. “He’s helped transform Dropbox into a publicly-traded company with over $1 billion in annual revenue and 12 offices around the world. Dennis will always be part of the Dropbox family, and we wish him all the best.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors and others with additional information regarding Dropbox's results, we have disclosed the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses (including research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative), non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, free cash flow ("FCF") and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. Dropbox has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP cost of revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations, and net income differs from GAAP in that it excludes stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll tax expense relating to the release of two-tier RSUs with respect to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Non-GAAP general and administrative expense also excludes expense related to a donation of common stock to the Dropbox Foundation with respect to the three months ended June 30, 2017. Non-GAAP net income also includes the income tax effect of these adjustments. The income tax effect of these adjustments is derived by calculating a non-GAAP tax rate by excluding the impact of our non-GAAP items from non-GAAP net income, and then applying GAAP standards, including our net operating losses, to the resulting non-GAAP net income. Free cash flow differs from GAAP net cash provided by operating activities in that it treats capital expenditures as a reduction to net cash provided by operating activities. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share differs from GAAP diluted net loss per share in that the numerator utilizes the non-GAAP net income as described above, and the weighted-average shares used in the computation include certain shares that are excluded from the GAAP diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Dropbox's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, for short and long-term operating plans, and to evaluate Dropbox's financial performance and the ability to generate cash from operations. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Dropbox's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in Dropbox's business, as they exclude expenses that are not reflective of ongoing operating results. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Dropbox's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.
We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures non-GAAP cost of revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations, net income, and diluted net income per share are meaningful to investors because they help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude.
We believe that FCF is an indicator of our liquidity over the long term, and provides useful information regarding cash provided by operating activities and cash used for investments in property and equipment required to maintain and grow our business. FCF is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. FCF has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net cash provided by operating activities. Some of the limitations of FCF are that FCF does not reflect our future contractual commitments, excludes investments made to acquire assets under capital leases, includes capital expenditures related to our new corporate headquarters, and may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
The use of non-GAAP cost of revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations, net income, free cash flow, and diluted net income per share measures has certain limitations as they do not reflect all items of income, expense, and cash expenditures, as applicable, that affect Dropbox's operations. Dropbox compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Additionally, we have provided supplemental disclosures in our reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow to include capital expenditures related to our new corporate headquarters, net of tenant improvement allowances. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. Management encourages investors and others to review Dropbox's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
