In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "anticipate,” "believe,” "estimate,” "expect,” "intend,” "may,” "might,” "plan,” "project,” "will,” "would,” "should,” "could,” "can,” "predict,” "potential,” "target,” "explore,” "continue,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous uncertainties and risks, 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, including: declines in new customers, renewals or upgrades, or decline in demand for our platform, difficulties in evaluating our prospects and future results of operations given our limited operating history, competition from other providers of communications platforms, the effect of macroeconomic conditions on our business, including inflation and market volatility, lengthened sales cycles with large organizations, delays or outages in services from our co-located data centers, failures in internet infrastructure or interference with broadband access, compromised security measures, including ours and those of the third parties upon which we rely, and global security concerns and their potential impact on regional and global economies and supply chains. Additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements are included under the caption "Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”), including our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2024. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made and are based on information available to Zoom at the time those statements are made and/or management's good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events. Zoom assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, except as required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Zoom has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP”). Zoom uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Zoom's financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with Zoom's condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Zoom's historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation. Non-GAAP Income from Operations and Non-GAAP Operating Margin. Zoom defines non-GAAP income from operations as income from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses, and litigation settlements, net. Zoom excludes stock-based compensation expense because it is non-cash in nature and excluding this expense provides meaningful supplemental information regarding Zoom's operational performance and allows investors the ability to make more meaningful comparisons between Zoom's operating results and those of other companies. Zoom excludes the amount of employer payroll taxes related to employee stock plans, which is a cash expense, in order for investors to see the full effect that excluding stock-based compensation expense had on Zoom's operating results. In particular, this expense is dependent on the price of our common stock and other factors that are beyond our control and do not correlate to the operation of the business. Zoom views acquisition-related expenses when applicable, such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, transaction costs, and acquisition-related retention payments that are directly related to business combinations as events that are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. Restructuring expenses are expenses associated with a formal restructuring plan and may include employee notice period costs, severance payments, and other related expenses. Zoom excludes these restructuring expenses because they are distinct from ongoing operational costs and Zoom does not believe they are reflective of current and expected future business performance and operating results. Zoom excludes significant litigation settlements, net of amounts covered by insurance, that we deem not to be in the ordinary course of our business. In fact, Zoom believes the consideration of measures that exclude such expenses can assist in the comparison of operational performance in different periods that may or may not include such expenses and assist in the comparison with the results of other companies in the industry. Zoom defines non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP income from operations divided by GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Share, Basic and Diluted. Zoom defines non-GAAP net income as GAAP net income adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses, gains/losses on strategic investments, net, litigation settlements, net, and the tax effects of all non-GAAP adjustments. Zoom excludes these items because they are considered by management to be outside of Zoom's core operating results. These adjustments are intended to provide investors and management with greater visibility to the underlying performance of Zoom's business operations, facilitate comparison of its results with other periods, and may also facilitate comparison with the results of other companies in the industry. Zoom defines non-GAAP net income per share, basic and diluted, as non-GAAP net income divided by the number of shares outstanding, basic and diluted, calculated in accordance with GAAP. Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin. Zoom defines free cash flow as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Zoom considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors regarding net cash provided by operating activities and cash used for investments in property and equipment required to maintain and grow the business. Zoom defines free cash flow margin as free cash flow divided by GAAP revenue. Revenue in Constant Currency. Zoom defines revenue in constant currency as GAAP revenue adjusted for revenue reported in currencies other than United States dollars as if they were converted into United States dollars using the average exchange rates from the comparative period rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. Zoom provides revenue in constant currency information as a framework for assessing how Zoom's underlying businesses performed period to period, excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations. Customer Metrics Zoom defines a customer as a separate and distinct buying entity, which can be a single paid user or an organization of any size (including a distinct unit of an organization) that has multiple users. Zoom defines Enterprise customers as distinct business units that have been engaged by either our direct sales team, resellers, or strategic partners. All other customers that subscribe to our services directly through our website are referred to as Online customers. Zoom calculates net dollar expansion rate as of a period end by starting with the annual recurring revenue ("ARR”) from Enterprise customers as of 12 months prior ("Prior Period ARR”). Zoom defines ARR as the annualized revenue run rate of subscription agreements from all customers at a point in time. Zoom calculates ARR by taking the monthly recurring revenue ("MRR”) and multiplying it by 12. MRR is defined as the recurring revenue run-rate of subscription agreements from all Enterprise customers for the last month of the period, including revenue from monthly subscribers who have not provided any indication that they intend to cancel their subscriptions. Zoom then calculates the ARR from these Enterprise customers as of the current period end ("Current Period ARR”), which includes any upsells, contraction, and attrition. Zoom divides the Current Period ARR by the Prior Period ARR to arrive at the net dollar expansion rate. For the trailing 12 months calculation, Zoom takes an average of the net dollar expansion rate over the trailing 12 months. Zoom calculates online average monthly churn by starting with the Online customer MRR as of the beginning of the applicable quarter ("Entry MRR”). Zoom defines Entry MRR as the recurring revenue run-rate of subscription agreements from all Online customers except for subscriptions that Zoom recorded as churn in a previous quarter based on the customers' earlier indication to us of their intention to cancel that subscription. Zoom then determines the MRR related to customers who canceled or downgraded their subscription or notified us of that intention during the applicable quarter ("Applicable Quarter MRR Churn”) and divides the Applicable Quarter MRR Churn by the applicable quarter Entry MRR to arrive at the MRR churn rate for Online Customers for the applicable quarter. Zoom then divides that amount by three to calculate the online average monthly churn.

Fox News Flash top sports headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. A nonprofit fencing organization penned an open letter to USA Fencing Board Members this week, urging the national governing body for the sport to re-evaluate its stance on several issues, including tournament site selection criteria, as it relates to individual states' abortion policies, transgender inclusion and DEI. The Fair Fencing Organization (FFO), which describes itself as a nationwide nonprofit organization, raised concerns over several issues in an open letter to USFA board members on Tuesday. In the letter, the group calls on the governing body to make decisions not on "political correctness" but rather in the interest of its members. USA Fencing is the national governing body for the sport and sets the policy for competition guidelines. (Patrick Smith/Getty Images) "Your personal political stand or preference should not, and cannot take precedence over the will of majority of the members. Specifically, your decision on issues cannot only satisfy your own feeling of moral superiority or be obsessed with political correctness, while ignoring the interest of members." CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The issues raised in the letter are outlined in three parts. FFO’s letter alleged that USA Fencing "has a policy of prioritizing the States that support women’s abortion rights" when selecting sites for national tournaments. The group argued that doing so "is a political choice without a common consensus of the members," and called on USA Fencing board members to instead prioritize "safety, accessibility, and financials." "Nothing else matters more than these three factors. In USFA’s prior site selections, our fencers were harassed by hooligans on the street, heard gunshots outside of their hotels, while some families hid for safety in a restaurant's kitchen. It only takes one crime against our members to cause irreparable harm to the fencing community and USFA." Saber fencing gear is seen during a competition at the Greater Richmond Convention Center on April 11, 2016, in Richmond, Virginia. (Patrick Smith/Getty Images) According to USA Fencing policy, the criteria for site selection include but are not limited to: Profitability Member experience, satisfaction, and cost Travel convenience Square footage requirements (including parafencing accommodations). City interest and availability in hosting Inclusivity TRANSGENDER FEMALE FENCER SCORES WORLD TITLE OVER 14-TIME CHAMPION FFO separately called on the board members to consider forming an "all-women task force" to understand the impact that transgender athletes have on female competitors. The letter acknowledges that the proposal was motioned by one of the board members, but added that while they do not oppose transgender athletes, they will consider taking legal action if the issue is not further considered. "Politics aside, it is a reasonable request to form a task force to do a deeper dive on this issue in fencing and create a safe space where the voices of all women are heard without ridicule and abuse." USA Fencing’s current policy states that it will "not discriminate on the basis of gender identity, regardless of sex assigned at birth, or any other form of gender expression for participation in any division." Athletes are able to compete "in a manner consistent with their gender identity/ expression, regardless of the gender associated with the sex they were assigned at birth." For some categories, there are guidelines regarding testosterone suppression treatment.

CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP The final issue raised in the letter is USA Fencing’s stance on DEI positions . The FFO specifically called on the sport’s governing body to not use "members’ funds for a paid position for a DEI role." "In principle, USFA should not use members’ funds to create any ideologically or politically motivated positions ever unless it is authorized by the majority of the members." In an email to Fox News Digital, USA Fencing said it would be "inappropriate and against protocol to publicly comment" on any motions or proposals before the board meeting, which is scheduled for Saturday. "These matters will be thoroughly discussed and deliberated upon during the meeting, ensuring that decisions are made in accordance with the organization’s governance procedures," the email read. USA Fencing noted that its board members "are elected by our members and are entrusted to represent their interests and make decisions they believe are in the best interest of the fencing community as a whole."

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Shaquil Barrett is rejoining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs signed the two-time Super Bowl champion on Saturday, while also announcing safety Jordan Whitehead was activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s home game against the Carolina Panthers. Barrett spent five seasons with Tampa Bay from 2019 to 2023. He led the NFL with a franchise-record 19 1-2 sacks in his first year with the Bucs, then helped the team win its second Super Bowl title the following season. In all, Barrett started 70 games with Tampa Bay, amassing 45 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and three interceptions. He was released last winter in a salary cap move, signed a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins in free agency, then abruptly announced his retirement on social media before the start of training camp in July. Barrett, who also won a Super Bowl during a four-season stint with the Denver Broncos, decided to unretire last month. He signed with the Bucs after clearing waivers earlier in the week. Whitehead has missed the past four games with a pectoral injury. His return comes of the heels of the Bucs placing safety Christian Izien on IR with a pectoral injury. On Saturday, the Bucs also activated rookie wide receiver Kameron Johnson from IR and elevated punter Jack Browning to the active roster from the practice squad. NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

The broad S&P 500 index dipped 0.16 point, or essentially stayed flat, to close Friday at 6,051.09. For the week, it slipped 0.6% to snap a three-week winning streak. The blue-chip Dow eased 0.2% or 86 points, to 43,828.06 for a seventh straight day of losses, the longest losing streak since 2020.

While the CME Fed Watch tool shows the markets see a 97% chance for a quarter-point trim in the short-term benchmark fed funds rate, to between 4.25% and 4.5%, the rate outlook next year is murkier. Holiday deals: Shop this season’s top products and sales curated by our editors. Markets currently expect a pause in January, the CME Fed Watch tool shows, after warmer-than-expected inflation data this week ignited some caution, economists said. “Improvements in inflation appear to have stalled,” wrote KPMG chief economist Diane Swonk in a report. What is inflation doing? Annual consumer inflation increased for the second straight month , up 2.7% in November and the largest jump since July. Core inflation that excludes the volatile food and energy sectors was flat at 3.3%. Both remain above the Fed’s 2% inflation goal. Further warning signs on inflation are seen in wholesale prices, or prices paid by companies. Annual wholesale prices last month climbed 3% and gained 3.5% excluding energy and food. They were both the highest levels since February 2023. Treasury yields on the rise U.S. government debt yields rose for a fifth straight session to reach the highest levels in the past few weeks on signs inflation remains a problem for the Fed, economists said. The benchmark 10-year yield climbed to more than 4.4%, and the 2-year yield was 4.247% on Friday. Surging wealth: Elon Musk's skyrocketing net worth: He's the first person with over $400 billion Big tech still reigns Inflation worries haven’t hit the largest tech stocks, including Apple , Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon , Facebook parent Meta, Google parent Alphabet, Broadcom and Tesla. Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Broadcom and Tesla all hit record highs this week despite posting mixed performances on Friday. Tesla’s record close earlier this week was the first in more than three years, as the stock continues to gain amid chief executive Elon Musk’s chummy relationship with President-elect Donald Trump. Since the election, Tesla shares have soared about 65%. Broadcom shares surged more than 24% on Friday, boosting the company’s valuation to an eye-watering trillion dollars after the company predicted a massive expansion in demand for chips that power artificial intelligence (AI). Chief executive Hock Tan said AI could present Broadcom with a $60 billion to $90 billion revenue opportunity in 2027, more than four times the current size of the market. Broadcom also forecast first-quarter revenue above estimates late Thursday. Medora Lee is a money, markets and personal finance reporter at USA TODAY.

Diaz said Monday that Murphy's exuberant gesture, caught on the ACC Network national broadcast, was directed at offensive coordinator Jonathan Brewer in the booth after a bit of practice “banter” from a few days earlier. Diaz said the Texas transfer just let his excitement get away from him but still called it “unacceptable in our program." “There was a practice in the middle of last week when we throwing post after post after post, and we weren't completing them,” Diaz said. “And it was again and again and again and again. And at the end of that, there was a remark made in jest that, ‘If you throw a post for a touchdown in the game, then you can flick me off,’ from Coach Brewer.” Murphy's gesture came after he uncorked a deep ball from deep in Duke's own end and caught Eli Pancol perfectly in stride across midfield, with Pancol racing untouched for an 86-yard score barely 2 minutes into the game. As he began skipping downfield to celebrate, Murphy chest-bumped teammate Star Thomas and then extended both arms in the air with his middle fingers raised. Brewer said Monday he missed the gesture in real time, but then saw it on a replay moments later. “Some things you say on the field when you're coaching obviously isn't meant to be taken literally when you're trying to get after somebody in that world,” Brewer said. Murphy threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns with three interceptions in the 31-28 win for the Blue Devils (8-3, 4-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who close the regular season at Wake Forest.

The massive success of Barbie, which grossed a record-breaking $1.4 billion, left fans and industry insiders eagerly speculating about the possibility of a sequel. Although discussions surrounding a follow-up have been bubbling, recent reports have stirred the pot further, suggesting that a sequel might already be in early stages. However, both Warner Bros. and the filmmakers behind the first film have dismissed these claims, leaving the future of Barbie 2 uncertain. Released in 2023, Barbie became an unexpected cultural phenomenon, captivating audiences with its whimsical yet poignant take on the iconic toy. The film, directed by Greta Gerwig and co-written by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, found the perfect balance of humor, social commentary, and fantasy. The box office success left many wondering if Warner Bros. and Mattel would capitalize on the film’s popularity with a sequel. And as for a sequel – will there be one for Barbie? Well, that, too, was in the creative hands of Gerwig and Baumbach. Of course, the box office appeal looks clear, but Gerwig has maintained that the partners would only take on an additional film if they discovered a great narrative to lead it. Gerwig-Baumbach Considering Barbie Sequel? According to a well-placed source who spoke with The Hollywood Reporter, Gerwig and Baumbach have reportedly found the story they’ve been searching for and presented it to Warner Bros. While still in the early stages, this discovery has opened the door to further discussions about a possible sequel. However, the studio and the filmmakers were quick to deny the reports, as Gerwig and Baumbach’s representative claims that the reports are “without legitimacy,” and Warner Bros. confirms that THR’s reporting was wrong. If a deal is indeed done, focus would immediately fall on getting the script and fitting schedules together. Both Gerwig and Baumbach are still engaged with other projects – the latter being a coming-of-age film for Netflix and has attached an ensemble cast to include Gerwig, George Clooney, and Adam Sandler; meanwhile, the former readies a Netflix adaptation of the Chronicles of Narnia. Sources suggest that Baumbach would likely begin work on the Barbie sequel script, with both writers exchanging drafts as they’ve done in the past. The duo has spoken publicly about their unique writing process, in which they work separately and then share their work for feedback, often gauging each other’s reactions for clues on whether they’re on the right track. What Could Barbie Sequel Be About? Details on the sequel yet remain highly under wraps. Gerwig has previously stated that giving out ideas too early is sure to “ruin” the final product-a line she also echoed during an Apatow panel session. “I don’t like to talk about things too early or pitch things. because it feels like it’s gonna somehow wreck what the movie is,” she said. Thus, it is highly unlikely that leaks about the plot will appear in the future, and the fans are kept in suspense for now. Margot Robbie , who starred in the film as Barbie and also produced it under her banner, LuckyChap, has been a big part of the film’s success. The actress received widespread acclaim for her portrayal of the iconic doll and has been vocal about her support for Gerwig’s direction. She praised Gerwig’s vision for the film, citing the director’s ability to bring creativity, humanity, and magic to the project. If a sequel were to happen, it would be more than likely that Robbie plays Barbie again. Fans are hoping that Ryan Gosling’s Ken returns, along with the colorful supporting cast in the film, including America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, and Michael Cera. Why Sequel Question Was Inevitable The fact that Barbie was a resounding success made the sequel question always feel less of a “What about? ” and more of a “When? ” Gerwig herself has expressed a desire to revisit the world of Barbie Land.In a conversation with People ahead of the film’s release, she reflected on the film’s vibrant world, saying, “There’s a tone and a humor and a joy, and obviously the world is so beautiful.undefinedI want to go back to Barbie Land.” ALSO READ | Viral Letter From Sandhya Theatre Trending On X: What’s Behind The Buzz?
