(2) Reconciliations of
our non-GAAP results to their most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures are set forth in "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures" below.

Share Repurchases
Year-to-date through October 28,
2024, GoDaddy repurchased 5.2 million shares of its common
stock for an aggregate purchase price of $668.1 million, with an average price per share
of $129.02. Cumulatively, these
repurchases represent an approximate 23% reduction in fully
diluted shares from those outstanding at the January 2022 inception of the current $4.0
billion buyback authorization.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2024, total cash and cash equivalents
were $767.1 million, total debt was
$3.9 billion and net debt was
$3.1 billion.
Business Outlook
For the full year ending December 31,
2024, GoDaddy raised its revenue expectations to a range of
$4.545 billion to $4.565 billion, representing year-over-year
growth of 7% at the midpoint. GoDaddy also raised its NEBITDA
margin expectations to approximately 30%.
For the fourth quarter ending December
31, 2024, GoDaddy expects total revenue in the range of
$1.165 billion to $1.185 billion, representing year-over-year
growth of 7% at the midpoint, versus the same period in 2023.
Within total revenue, GoDaddy expects fourth quarter and full year
A&C revenue growth in the mid-teens and Core revenue growth in
the low single digits.
For the fourth quarter ending December
31, 2024, GoDaddy expects NEBITDA margin to be approximately
31%.
For the full year ending December 31,
2024, GoDaddy raised its unlevered free cash flow target to
at least $1.475 billion, representing
growth of 18%, year-over-year, versus $1.254
billion of unlevered free cash flow generated in 2023.
Additionally, GoDaddy raised its free cash flow target to at least
$1.325 billion, representing growth
of 22%, year-over-year, versus the $1.084
billion of free cash flow generated in 2023.
GoDaddy's consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States (GAAP). GoDaddy
does not provide reconciliations from non-GAAP guidance to GAAP
equivalents because projections of changes in individual balance
sheet amounts are not possible without unreasonable effort and
presentation of such reconciliations would imply an inappropriate
degree of precision. GoDaddy's reported results provide
reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest
GAAP equivalents.

features of its Airo experience, as well as share more on its
innovation and execution, at its Investor Dinner in Tempe, Arizona on December 3, 2024. Please contact

a proactive, intelligent AI-driven experience that helps our
customers name, build and grow their small businesses, allowing

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements which are
subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on
estimates and information available to us at the time of this press
release and are not guarantees of future performance. Statements in
this press release involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If
the risks or uncertainties materialize or the assumptions prove
incorrect, our results may differ materially from those expressed
or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other
than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking
statements, including, but not limited to any statements regarding:
our business outlook; launches of new or expansion of existing
products or services, including GoDaddy Airo, any projections of
product or service availability, technology developments and
innovation, customer growth, or other future events; historical
results that may suggest future trends for our business; our plans,

future financial results; our ability to achieve desired synergies
and vertical integration; the expected impacts of our restructuring
efforts; our forecasted levels of future taxable income and ability
to realize our deferred tax assets; and assumptions underlying any
of the foregoing.
Actual results could differ materially from our current
expectations as a result of many factors, including, but not
limited to: the unpredictable nature of our rapidly evolving
market; fluctuations in our financial and operating results; our
rate of growth; interruptions or delays in our service or our web
hosting; our dependence on payment card networks and acquiring
processors; cyberattacks or breaches of our security measures; the
impact of any previous or future acquisitions or divestitures; our
ability to innovate and continue to release, and gain customer
acceptance of, our existing and future products and services; our
ability to deploy new and evolving technologies, such as artificial
intelligence, machine learning, data analytics and similar tools,
in our offerings; our ability to manage our growth; our ability to
hire, retain and motivate employees; the effects of competition;
technological, regulatory and legal developments; litigation and
government inquiries; privacy, legislative and regulatory concerns
or developments; impacts of our restructuring efforts;
macroeconomic conditions and developments in the economy, financial
markets and credit markets; continued escalation of geopolitical
tensions; the level of interest rates and inflationary pressures;

other filings that GoDaddy makes with the SEC from time to time.
All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on
information available to GoDaddy as of the date hereof. Except to
the extent required by law, GoDaddy does not assume any obligation

that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating and Business
Metrics
In addition to our financial results prepared in accordance with
GAAP, this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial
measures and other operating and business metrics. We believe that
these non-GAAP financial measures and other operating and business
metrics are useful as a supplement in evaluating our ongoing
operational performance and enhancing an overall understanding of
our past financial performance. The non-GAAP financial measures
included in this press release should not be considered in
isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information
prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, similarly titled
measures may be calculated differently by other companies and may
not be comparable. A reconciliation between each non-GAAP financial
measure and its nearest GAAP equivalent is included in this press
release following the financial statements. We use both GAAP and
non-GAAP measures to evaluate and manage our operations.
Total bookings. Total bookings is an operating metric
representing the total value of customer contracts entered into
during the period, excluding refunds. We believe total bookings
provides additional insight into the performance of our business
and the effectiveness of our marketing efforts since we typically
collect payment at the inception of a customer contract but
recognize revenue ratably over the term of the contract.
Constant currency. Constant currency is calculated by
translating bookings and revenue for each month in the current
period using the foreign currency exchange rates for the
corresponding month in the prior period, excluding any hedging
gains or losses realized during the period. We believe constant
currency information is useful in analyzing underlying trends in
our business by eliminating the impact of fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates and allows for period-to-period comparisons
of our performance.
Normalized EBITDA (NEBITDA). NEBITDA is a supplemental measure
of our operating performance used by management and investors to
evaluate our business. We calculate NEBITDA as net income excluding
depreciation and amortization, interest expense (net), provision or
benefit for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense,
acquisition-related costs, restructuring-related expenses and
certain other items. We believe that the inclusion or exclusion of
certain recurring and non-recurring items provides a supplementary
measure of our core operating results and permits useful
alternative period-over-period comparisons of our operations.
NEBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for comparable GAAP
measures.
NEBITDA margin. NEBITDA margin is used by management as a
supplemental measure of our operating performance and refers to the
ratio of NEBITDA to revenue, expressed as a percentage.
Unlevered free cash flow. Unlevered free cash flow is a measure
of our liquidity used by management to evaluate our business prior
to the impact of our capital structure and restructuring and after
purchases of property and equipment. Such liquidity can be used by
us for strategic opportunities and strengthening our balance sheet.
However, given our debt obligations, unlevered free cash flow does
not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary
expenses.
Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as our unlevered free
cash flow less interest payments for the period. We use free cash
flow as a supplemental measure of our liquidity, including our
ability to generate cash flow in excess of capital requirements and
return cash to shareholders, though it should not be considered as
an alternative to, or more meaningful than, comparable GAAP
measures.
Net debt. We define net debt as total debt less cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments. Total debt consists of the
current portion of long-term debt plus long-term debt and
unamortized original issue discount and debt issuance costs. Our
management reviews net debt as part of its management of our
overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and
leverage and we believe such information is useful to investors.
Furthermore, certain analysts and debt rating agencies monitor our
net debt as part of their assessments of our business.
Annualized recurring revenue (ARR). ARR is an operating metric
defined as annualized quarterly recurring GAAP revenue, net of
refunds, from new and renewed subscription-based services. ARR is
exclusive of any revenue that is non-recurring, including, without
limitation, domain aftermarket, domain transfers, one-time set-up
or migration fees and non-recurring professional website services
fees. We believe ARR helps illustrate the scale of certain of our
products and facilitates comparisons to other companies in our
industry.
Average revenue per user (ARPU). We calculate ARPU as total
revenue during the preceding 12 month period divided by the average
of the number of total customers at the beginning and end of the
period. ARPU provides insight into our ability to sell additional
products to our customers.
Total customers. We define a customer as an individual or
entity, each with a unique account and paid transactions in the
trailing twelve months or with paid subscriptions as of the end of
the period. Total customers is one way we measure the scale of our
business and can be a contributing factor to our ability to
increase our revenue base.
