Exhibit 99.1

Zuora Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results
Redwood City, Calif. – December 9, 2024 Zuora, Inc. (NYSE: ZUO), a leading monetization suite for modern business, today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended October 31, 2024.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Results:
Revenue: Subscription revenue was $105.3 million, an increase of 7% year-over-year. Total revenue was $116.9 million, an increase of 6% year-over-year.
GAAP Loss from Operations: GAAP loss from operations was $11.7 million, compared to a loss from operations of $8.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
Non-GAAP Income from Operations: Non-GAAP income from operations was $25.1 million, compared to non-GAAP income from operations of $16.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
GAAP Net Loss: GAAP net loss was $32.2 million, or 28% of revenue, compared to a net loss of $5.5 million, or 5% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. GAAP net loss per share was $0.21 based on 152.3 million weighted-average shares outstanding, compared to a net loss per share of $0.04 based on 141.5 million weighted-average shares outstanding in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The GAAP net loss reflects increased costs associated with our proposed acquisition, including a debt redemption liability of $20.2 million as of October 31, 2024 associated with our obligation to repurchase a portion of our 2029 Notes pursuant to our proposed acquisition, and $9.8 million of legal, consulting, and other transaction related costs. Refer below for further information on the proposed acquisition.
Non-GAAP Net Income: Non-GAAP net income was $24.8 million, compared to non-GAAP net income of $12.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Non-GAAP net income per share was $0.16 based on 152.3 million weighted-average shares outstanding, compared to non-GAAP net income per share of $0.09 based on 141.5 million weighted-average shares outstanding in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.4 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $55.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Adjusted free cash flow was $25.5 million compared to $12.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
Cash and Investments: Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $558.5 million as of October 31, 2024.
Descriptions of our non-GAAP financial measures are contained in the section titled "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below and reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are contained in the tables below.
Proposed Acquisition; Conference Call and Guidance
On October 17, 2024, we announced that Zuora entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Silver Lake, the global leader in technology investing, in partnership with an affiliate of GIC Pte. Ltd. (“GIC”). The transaction is valued at $1.7 billion, with Silver Lake and GIC to acquire all outstanding shares of Zuora common stock for $10.00 per share in cash. The acquisition is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions and approvals, including the receipt of the required regulatory approvals. Upon completion of the transaction, Zuora will become a privately held company.

Given the proposed acquisition of Zuora, we will not be holding a conference call or live webcast to discuss Zuora's third quarter of fiscal 2025 financial results, we will not be providing any forward looking guidance, and we are withdrawing all previously provided goals, outlook, and guidance.
Key Operational and Financial Metrics:
Customers with annual contract value (ACV) equal to or greater than $250,000 were 451, compared to 453 as of October 31, 2023.
Dollar-based retention rate (DBRR) was 103%, compared to 108% as of October 31, 2023.
Annual recurring revenue (ARR) was $419.9 million compared to $396.0 million as of October 31, 2023, representing ARR growth of 6%.
Explanation of Key Operational and Financial Metrics:
Annual Contract Value (ACV). We define ACV as the subscription revenue we would contractually expect to recognize from a customer over the next twelve months, assuming no increases or reductions in their subscriptions. We define the number of customers at the end of any particular period as the number of parties or organizations that have entered into a distinct subscription contract with us and for which the term has not ended. Each party with whom we have entered into a distinct subscription contract is considered a unique customer, and in some cases, there may be more than one customer within a single organization.
Dollar-based Retention Rate (DBRR). We calculate DBRR as of a period end by starting with the sum of the ACV from all customers as of twelve months prior to such period end, or prior period ACV. We then calculate the sum of the ACV from these same customers as of the current period end, or current period ACV. Current period ACV includes any upsells and also reflects contraction or attrition over the trailing twelve months but excludes revenue from new customers added in the current period. We then divide the current period ACV by the prior period ACV to arrive at our dollar-based retention rate.

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). ARR represents the annualized recurring value at the time of initial booking or contract modification for all active subscription contracts at the end of a reporting period. ARR excludes the value of non-recurring revenue such as professional services revenue as well as contracts with new customers with a term of less than one year. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue, and is not intended to be a substitute for, or combined with, any of these items. ARR growth is calculated by dividing the ARR as of a period end by the ARR for the corresponding period end of the prior fiscal year.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain non-GAAP financial measures including: non-GAAP cost of subscription revenue; non-GAAP subscription gross margin; non-GAAP cost of professional services revenue; non-GAAP professional services gross margin; non-GAAP gross profit; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP income from operations; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP net income per share; and adjusted free cash flow. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We use non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. We also believe these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in

2





our industry, as they generally eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, because we believe that excluding this item provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is not comparable across companies given it is calculated using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets. We exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, which is a non-cash expense, because we do not believe it has a direct correlation to the operation of our business.
Charitable contributions. We exclude expenses associated with charitable donations of our common stock. We believe that excluding these non-cash expenses allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies.
Shareholder matters. We exclude non-recurring charges and benefits, net of insurance recoveries, including litigation expenses, settlements and other legal, consulting and advisory fees, related to shareholder matters that are outside of the ordinary course of our business, including expenses related to a cooperation agreement. We believe these charges and benefits do not have a direct correlation to the operations of our business and may vary in size depending on the timing, results and resolution of such litigation, settlements, agreements or other shareholder matters.
Asset impairment. We exclude non-cash charges for impairment of assets, including impairments related to internal-use software, office leases, and acquired intangible assets. Impairment charges can vary significantly in terms of amount and timing and we do not consider these charges indicative of our current or past operating performance. Moreover, we believe that excluding the effects of these charges allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies.
Change in fair value of debt derivative and warrant liabilities. We exclude fair value adjustments related to the debt derivative and warrant liabilities, which are non-cash gains or losses, as they can fluctuate significantly with changes in Zuora's stock price and market volatility, and do not reflect the underlying cash flows or operational results of the business.
Acquisition-related expenses. We exclude acquisition-related expenses (including integration-related charges) that are not related to our ongoing operations. These expenses include gains or losses recognized on contingent consideration related to acquisitions, including costs associated with our proposed acquisition. We do not consider these transaction expenses as reflective of our core business or ongoing operating performance.
Workforce reductions. We exclude charges related to workforce reduction plans, including severance, health care and related expenses. We believe these charges are not indicative of our continuing operations.
Additionally, we disclose "adjusted free cash flow", which is a non-GAAP measure that includes adjustments to operating cash flows for cash impacts related to Shareholder matters and Acquisition-related expenses described above, and net purchases of property and equipment. We include the impact of net purchases of property and equipment in our adjusted free cash flow calculation because we consider these capital expenditures to be a necessary component of our ongoing operations. We believe this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations excluding such expenditures that are not related to our ongoing operations.
Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. The non-GAAP measures we use may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used

3





by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.
