Q2 FY2017 From the CEOs Fellow shareholders, It's hard for us to believe, but it's been just over a year since Atlassian became a public company. While wecontinue to evolve, what hasn't changed since the IPO is our commitment to building great products for our customers, growing our business in an ecient way and looking for new opportunities to serve more teams around the world. We delivered on those objectives again this quarter. We saw growth across our business in cloud, server and data center products. In the second quarter of scal 2017, we grew revenue by 36 percent year-over-year, and generated free cash ow of $44.5 million. And we added 3,164 net new customers, bringing our total to 68,837 at the end of the quarter. As we entered the new year, we took a signicant step toward our mission to unleash the potential ofeveryteam. Atlassian plans to acquire Trello On January 9th, we announced plans to acquire Trello and we couldn’t be more excited about it. Trello is a popular collaboration service that provides teams with a simple way to visualize and prioritize work using an intuitive system of virtual ‘sticky notes’ and digital whiteboards. And users love it! Trello isone of the fastest growing cloud collaboration services.Over the
 past year alone, Trello has nearly doubleditsuser base – now over 19 million strong in over 100 countries. And although Trello is at the early stages of monetization, it already boasts a broad
 range ofprominent paying customers: from the United Nations and the Red Cross to Google,
 Fender Music, and John Deere. 2 +


 
Q2 FY2017 Trello is a great t for Atlassian because it complements our products, extends our reach into business teams and is an excellent match for our strategy, business model and culture. Trello will boost the power of our product portfolio Part of what makes our mission so ambitious is that no two teams work in exactly the 
 same way. Even a single teamhas dierent ways of working – shifting between established processes and less structured tasks as needed. Atlassian products have always allowed teams to work in whatever way suits them.JIRA
 tools excel at managing structured processes, whileConuenceis great for open-ended, unstructured work. Trello's platform will enhance our product portfolio by bridging the gap betweenstructured and unstructured styles of working.Trello's versatility makes it an appealing option for organizing a wide variety of information and sharing it among teams. Its use of boards, lists and cards oer an easy way to manage ad-hoc projects. In contrast to the JIRA family's dened workows, Trello cards can be moved around a digital whiteboard in a way that is entirely free-form. The one-two punch of Atlassian and Trello products will better serve the myriad ways in 
 which teams work. Trello will expand our reach with all teams, especially business teams Atlassian has been making strong progress with business teams such as Marketing, Legal
 and HRover the past several years.Trello will help us reach more business teams and more knowledge workers of all stripes. The work business teams do is especially dynamic. Advertising campaigns, charitable giving drives, event planning... you name it. Trello gives these teams an easy way to organize work
 and share ideas. Given its large and rapidly expanding user base – more than half of which works in non- technical functions – Trellowill provide a tremendous funnel of business team users for Atlassian to engage. That said, Trello also complements our oerings for technical teams. Althoughthese teams often thrive on structured processes, their work is necessarily dynamic in the early phases of 
 a project.For example, an IT team can set up and quickly recongure a Trello board to
 reect rapid iterations on a new process. Or a software team may start a project by brainstorming and grouping ideas together – perfect for a Trello board. Once projects move
 into methodical planning and execution cycles, the team can set up workows in JIRA Software
 to manage its work. 3


 
Q2 FY2017 Our strategies, business models and cultures are well matched Both companies share the mission of changing how teams work across the immense user audience of approximately one billion global knowledge workers. This is supported by the close alignment of our business models. Like Atlassian, Trello interacts with users primarily through its website, with the majority of Trello's sales coming online in a low- touch, highly automated way. Trello also has a small sales and customer success team – similar to our enterprise advocates – that work more closely with larger customers. We expect to harmonize our customer go-to-market strategies even further over time after closing. And while it's hard to describe with mere text, our cultures are a great match. Trello CEO Michael Pryor and his team share our passion for product innovation and putting customers rst, and we look forward to welcoming them to the Atlassian family. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of scal 2017 ending March 31, 2017.We expect Trello will remain a standalone service after the transaction is closed, and plan onbuilding out more integrations with Trello for our products in the coming months. Elsewhere in the Atlassian universe... During the quarter,Confluence 6.0brought one of our most highly anticipated features ever: real time collaborative editing. Confluence now combines the speed of creating content individually with the advantages of working together, enabling users to see who else is editing a page, and to follow
 changes in real time. We also introduced AWS Quick Start for JIRA Service Desk as we serve the needs of more large customers, extending the AWS support already available for JIRA Software and Bitbucket Server. Quick Start enables JIRA Service Desk to be deployed on the AWS Cloud in less than 30 minutes, allowing IT teams to scale their JIRA Service Desk installation up and down quickly, without the need to build out 
 new network infrastructure or interrupt their users. On the people front, Atlassian welcomed Helen Russell as its new Chief People Officer in October 2016. Helen joined Atlassian from Sonos, where she was Chief Human Resources Officer, and before that ran global HR for Kantar, EMEA HR for Yahoo, and EMEA HR for Siebel Systems. With nearly 1,900Atlassians and counting around the world, we're excited to have Helen on board. She will play a central role in continuing our proud record as a top place to work in the United States, Australia, Asia and the Netherlands,as well as our reputation as an attractive destination for top talent. Best wishes, Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar 4 Mike Cannon-Brookes

Q2 FY2017 Customer highlights Our customers represent diverse industries and geographies as our highly automated sales model allows us to target the Fortune 500,000 – not just the Fortune 500. We nished the second quarter of scal 2017 with 68,837 customers, a 27% year- over-year increase. We added 3,164net new customers during the quarter, includingonline home-furnishings retailerWayfair,the U.S. subsidiary of auto-manufacturer Porsche, Japanese life insurance company Mitsui Life, Australian nancial services provider Latitude Financial Services, aerospace manufacturer Goodrich, travel ITsolutions provider TravelSky,digital design consulting services provider Fjordnet,online travel agency Kiwi.com, and the city government of Buenos Aires. Customers use our products in all sorts of ways, across all types of teams. While it would be dicult to list the thousands of use cases for our products, the following section highlights a small handful of the myriad examples that our customers share with us each quarter. These examples illustrate the breadth of applications and versatility of our products, in addition to how we expand across teams, departments and customer organizations. 5 Customers: We dene the number of customers at the end of any particular period as the number of organizations with unique domains that have at least one active and paid license or subscription of our products for which they paid more than $10 per month. While a single customer may have distinct departments, operating segments or subsidiaries with multiple active licenses or subscriptions of our products, if the product deployments share a unique domain name, we only include the customer once for purposes of calculating this metric. We dene active licenses as those licenses that are under an active maintenance or subscription contract as of period end.

Q2 FY2017 Young & Rubicam Expanding across design, marketing and client support teams. Young & Rubicam Group, a global, collaborative network comprised of some of the most powerful brands in marketing communications (including Young & Rubicam PR, Burson-Marsteller, Bravo, Wunderman) is using Atlassian products across many functions company-wide, from development to above-the-line marketing, including print, studio and video production. Conuence is used to collaborate on designs and store project documentation, while JIRA is used to manage all projects with custom workows. For example, one team has a client that requires 800 pieces of unique print work created each month, such as stand-up banners and printed calendars. Previously, it was a more cumbersome process managed through email and spreadsheets; now the entire process is managed in JIRA. Additionally, several teams use our products to eciently collaborate and communicate externally with clients. Austrian Federal Railways Common platform for documentation and reporting across IT and development. Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), the national railway system of Austria, uses Atlassian's tools to help move 466 million passengers and 111 million tons of cargo per year. Its engineering department rst started using Atlassian tools in 2012 after being frustrated with its previous systems.Now, all technical requirements are specied in Conuence and tracked in the JIRA family , with Bitbucket as the source code repository and Bamboo powering continuous delivery. The IT department took notice and built a new service documentation platform based on Conuence and JIRA. Users across Austrian Federal Railways now go to Conuence for knowledge base articles, instruction manuals, system architecture documentation, specications and various other materials. The IT team has even taken advantage of JIRA’s integration capabilities so non-technical employees can create and submit tickets simply by completing a form on their intranet. Elsewhere at Austrian Federal Railways, the team that managesrail operations has developed a new safety program for preventing accidents, built on JIRA. Employees such as locomotive engineers and train directors now use JIRA to report unsafe situations as they arise. For example, if a train director sees people crossing the track where they shouldn't, he or she can create a report through JIRA that alerts managers and designates teams to take action. The new system has signicantly improved safety and morale.

Q2 FY2017 Popular retail fashion brand Expanding from IT teams to business teams with JIRA family and Conuence. At a retail fashion brand that is popular in malls across America, the IT group started an Atlassian trend that spread across their business. The group had been using JIRA since 2006 for workow management, initially migrating away from another system as they found JIRA "easier and more customizable." The IT group's developers, administrators, and analysts then adopted Conuence as their documentation tool-of-choice. As we've seen with other customers, several IT users worked with and supported the customer's direct-to-consumer group, leading to adoption of JIRA and Conuence throughout the direct-to-consumer group's 20 sub-teams. They now use JIRA and Conuence to manage the entire workow of getting images designed, approved, and added to their online storefront. Since then, several other business teams, including Sales, Marketing, Design, Promotions, and Legal have adopted JIRA and Conuence. The result? Streamlined workows and better coordination, now that they don't have to lob emails and attachments back and forth. American aerospace manufacturer Migrating to JIRA Service Desk for IT help desk and more. Atlassian products play a critical role at an American aerospace manufacturer. Conuence is the primary documentation system and knowledge base for all employees. It's also a primary platform that business teams like Design, Government, Finance, HR, and Procurement use to collaborate on their work. The IT team uses JIRA Software for project management and operational software development tasks. Recently, the IT Support team migrated from a competitor's platform to JIRA Service Desk Data Center. Frustrated by using email for ticket handling, inexible notications, and restrictions around adding attachments, the team knew it was time for a change. After considering several solutions, the IT team chose to move to JIRA Service Desk to manage internal support. The transition was straightforward and they have now set up ve JIRA Service Desks: Software Support, Information Security, Operations, Launch IT, and Networking Engineering. Although they started with 50 agents, they have quickly grown to 100 agents, all using JIRA Service Desk Data Center. 7

Q2 FY2017 Forward-looking statements This shareholder letter contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward looking, including risks and uncertainties related to the anticipated benets of the Trello acquisition, the ability of Atlassian to extend its leadership in powering all types of teamwork, potential benets of the transaction to Atlassian and Trello customers, the ability of Atlassian to launch Trello integrations for its existing collaboration services, the ability of Atlassian and Trello to close the announced acquisition and the timing of the closing of the acquisition, statements about Atlassian’s products, technology and other key strategic areas, and Atlassian’s nancial targets such as revenue, share count and IFRS and non-IFRS nancial measures including gross margin, operating margin, net income per diluted share and free cash ow. Atlassian undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this shareholder letter to reect events or circumstances after the date of this shareholder letter or to reect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If any such risks or uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, our results could dier materially from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements we make. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date such statements are made. Further information on these and other factors that could aect our nancial results is included in lings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including the section titled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Forms 20-F and 6-K. These documents are available on the SEC Filings section of the Investor Relations section of our website at: https://investors.atlassian.com. About non-IFRS nancial measures Our reported results and nancial targets include certain non-IFRS nancial measures, including non-IFRS gross prot, non-IFRS operating income, non-IFRS net income, non-IFRS net income per diluted share, and free cash ow. Management believes that the use of non-IFRS nancial measures provides consistency and comparability with our past nancial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations, and also facilitates comparisons with peer companies, many of which use similar non-IFRS or non-GAAP nancial measures to supplement their IFRS or GAAP results. Non-IFRS results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only to aid in understanding our operating results. The non-IFRS results should not be considered a substitute for nancial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be dierent from non-IFRS or non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Our non-IFRS nancial measures reect adjustments based on the items below: • Non-IFRS gross prot. Excludes expenses related to share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets. • Non-IFRS operating income. Excludes expenses related to share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets. • Non-IFRS net income and non-IFRS net income per diluted share. Excludes expenses related to share based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and related income tax eects on these items. • Free cash ow. Free cash ow is dened as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, which consists primarily of purchases of property and equipment. We exclude expenses related to share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and income tax eect on these items from certain of our non-IFRS nancial measures as we believe this helps investors understand our operational performance. In addition, share-based compensation expense can be dicult to predict and varies from period to period and company to company due to diering valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments, as well as changes in stock price. Management believes that providing non-IFRS nancial measures that exclude share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the tax eects on these items allow for more meaningful comparisons between our operating results from period to period 17


 
Q2 FY2017 We include the eect of our outstanding share options and restricted share units (“RSUs”) in weighted-average shares used in computing non-IFRS net income per diluted share. IFRS excludes the impact of the full weighting of these outstanding equity awards until the eectiveness of our IPO. We have presented the full weighting impact of these additional shares from previously granted share options and RSUs, as if they were outstanding from the date of grant, in order to provide investors with insight into the full impact of all potentially dilutive awards outstanding and to provide comparability across periods. Management considers free cash ow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by our business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions and strengthening our statement of nancial position. Management uses non-IFRS gross prot, non-IFRS operating income, non-IFRS net income, non-IFRS net income per diluted share and free cash ow: • As measures of operating performance, because these nancial measures do not include the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations; • For planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; • To allocate resources to enhance the nancial performance of our business; • To evaluate the eectiveness of our business strategies; and • In communications with our board of directors concerning our nancial performance.
 The tables in this shareholder letter titled “Reconciliation of IFRS to non-IFRS results” and “Reconciliation of IFRS to non-IFRS nancial targets” provide reconciliations of non-IFRS nancial measures to the most recent directly comparable nancial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. We understand that although non-IFRS gross prot, non-IFRS operating income, non-IFRS net income, non-IFRS net income per diluted share and free cash ow are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, these measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under IFRS.
