Impact of
2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
Exhibit 99.2
This presentation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding Palo Alto Networks’ expectations
regarding its expected effective tax rate, its expected weighted average non-GAAP effective tax rate, and the effects of such rates, as well as expectations
regarding its revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share, the related components of non-GAAP earnings per share, and weighted average basic and diluted
outstanding share count expectations for Palo Alto Networks’ fiscal third quarter and full fiscal year 2018.
There are a significant number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from statements made in this presentation, including: our limited
operating history; our ability to identify and effectively implement the necessary changes to address execution challenges; risks associated with managing our
rapid growth; organizational changes; the risks associated with new products and subscription and support offerings, including the discovery of software bugs;
our ability to attract and retain new customers; delays in the development or release of new subscription offerings, or the failure to timely develop and achieve
market acceptance of new products and subscriptions as well as existing products and subscription and support offerings; rapidly evolving technological
developments in the market for network security products and subscription and support offerings; length of sales cycles; and general market, political,
economic and business conditions. Further information on these and other factors that could affect the forward-looking statements we make in this presentation
can be found in the documents that we file with or furnish to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, including Palo Alto Networks’ most recent Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q filed for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2017.
You should not rely on any forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation, nor do we intend, to update them. All information in this presentation is
as of February 26, 2018. This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics relating to the company's past and expected future
performance. We have not reconciled diluted non-GAAP net income per share guidance to GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share because we do not
provide guidance on GAAP net income (loss) and would not be able to present the various reconciling cash and non-cash items between GAAP net income
(loss) and non-GAAP net income, including share-based compensation expense, without unreasonable effort. You can also find information regarding our use
of non-GAAP financial measures in our earnings release dated February 26, 2018.
