A timeline of the key dates for the Data Center EOL plan is as follows: Upcoming Data Center changes On September 8, 2025, Atlassian announced plans to end-of-life (EOL) its Data Center deployment offering. We recognize the transition to Cloud will take time for some customers, and therefore we will wind down support for Data Center products through a phased approach over a multi-year period. In order to support customers who face unique requirements or challenges, we will offer an extended maintenance period for certain customers. Data Center End-of-Life Timeline Announcement End of new license sales to new customers End of license sales/expansions and app sales for existing customers End of life - Extended maintenance window opens for certain customers End of support – Approximately three years of extended maintenance for certain customers


 
Revenue recognition changes for future Data Center subscriptions Effective with this announcement, the value allocated to the term license and maintenance components for future Data Center subscriptions entered into after September 8, 2025 will be revised to reflect the expected EOL timeline.  We expect a higher proportion of total contract value to be attributed to the term license component, where revenue is recognized upfront in the period the subscription begins, and a lower proportion to be allocated to the ongoing support component, where revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription term.


 
Expected impact of Data Center revenue recognition changes We are currently assessing the impact of this announcement on revenue recognition for future Data Center subscriptions and our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We expect the following areas to be impacted by the Data Center revenue recognition changes that go into effect for subscriptions entered into after September 8, 2025: What is expected to change in Fiscal 2026? What doesn’t change? • Data Center revenue subscriptions entered into after September 8, 2025 will have more revenue recognized upfront compared to subscriptions entered into prior to this date • Total revenue will increase to reflect the mechanical flow through of the Data Center revenue recognition changes • GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin • GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin • Cloud revenue • Marketplace and other revenue • Cash flow from operations • Free cash flow The table above is provided for informational purposes only and does not in any way reflect an update on our business or financial targets for Q1 or full year FY26. We will share more information on the revenue recognition impact of the EOL announcement on our Q1’26 earnings call.
