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 impact of the July 19 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

Financial Information
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.

CrowdStrike is providing the above guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 (ending January 31, 2025) 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, July 19 Incident related costs and (recoveries), net, 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. CrowdStrike has not provided the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain items are out of CrowdStrike’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 CrowdStrike’s actual
results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Modeling Points
Visibility remains limited given the headwinds related to the July 19 Incident that we outlined last quarter, including: the

Headwinds delay of the vast majority of outbound pipeline generation activities for a few weeks following the July 19 Incident,
extended sales cycles for both new and existing customers, and continued deployment of customer commitment
packages, resulting in muted upsell rates and potentially higher than typical levels of contraction.

Recognizing our continued reduced visibility, we are maintaining our estimated impact of approximately $30 million to both
ARR & Revenue CCP Impact net new ARR and subscription revenue in Q4 from our customer commitment packages (CCP). As we discussed last
quarter, the above headwinds are additive to the expected quantified impact.

Near-Term ARR & Revenue We request that you keep historical sequential net new ARR seasonality in mind when updating your models. Additionally,
as we discussed last quarter, the modeling of ARR and subscription revenue should be decoupled in the short term given
Modeling the customer commitment packages. Our Fal.Con 2024 investor presentation has additional details on this dynamic.

Additional GAAP Tax Expense We expect to incur additional GAAP tax expenses in Q4 of approximately $58 million due to previous acquisitions.

We closed our acquisition of Adaptive Shield on November 20th, which is expected to have a one to two cent impact
Non-GAAP EPS to non-GAAP EPS, as reflected in our Q4 guidance.

We expect Q4 free cash flow to reflect a significantly more pronounced July 19 Incident impact in comparison to Q3.
This is due to collections impacted by increased flexible payment terms under customer commitment packages for
Free Cash Flow deals closed in Q3, the incremental sales compensation expenses and the timing and size of G&A costs - all relating
to July 19. As a result, we do not expect to see sequential free cash flow margin leverage in Q4.
We continue to expect CrowdStrike Financial Services to have a de minimus impact to free cash flow in Q4.

CrowdStrike is providing the above modeling points for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 (ending January 31, 2025) and full fiscal year 2025 (ending January 31, 2025). 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 CrowdStrike's actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP financial measures exclude 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, July 19 Incident related costs and (recoveries), net, 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. CrowdStrike has not reconciled any of the non-GAAP measures referenced above to the most
comparable GAAP measure because certain items are out of the CrowdStrike’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.

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, seven or more, and eight 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.

Appendix (cont’d)
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 July 19 Incident related costs and (recoveries), net.

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, July 19 Incident related costs and (recoveries), net, 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. We use our GAAP provision for income taxes for the purpose of determining our non-GAAP income tax expense. The tax costs for intellectual property integration relating to acquisitions are included in the GAAP provision for income taxes. The income tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired
intangibles assets, including purchased patents, acquisition related expenses, amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, gains and other income from strategic investments attributable to CrowdStrike, July 19 Incident related costs and (recoveries), net, and legal reserve and settlement charges or benefits included in the
GAAP provision for income taxes were not material for all periods presented.
2. For periods in which we had diluted non-GAAP net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders, the sum of the impact of individual reconciling items may not total to diluted Non-GAAP net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders because of rounding differences.
