Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Navan has provided in this press release supplemental financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), including references to non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and free cash flow. Navan uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that the disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and because it allows for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by senior management in our financial and operational decision making. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different from similarly-titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors' overall understanding of our operating performance and should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We include these non-GAAP financial measures because they are important measures upon which our management assesses our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide useful information about our financial performance, consistency and comparability with past financial performance and may assist in comparisons with other companies in our industry, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

A reconciliation of Navan's historical non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included herein, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations.

●Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin. Navan defines non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit, excluding stock-based compensation-related charges, amortization of intangible assets, and restructuring costs. Navan defines non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue.

●Non-GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations and Non-GAAP Operating Margin. Navan defines non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as GAAP loss from operations, excluding stock-based compensation-related charges, amortization of intangible assets, accelerated amortization of trade name intangible asset, severance and executive transition costs, and restructuring costs. Navan defines non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP income (loss) from operations divided by revenue.

●Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss). Navan defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as GAAP net loss, excluding stock-based compensation-related charges, amortization of intangible assets, accelerated amortization of trade name intangible asset, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, loss (gain) on fair value adjustments, SAFE debt issuance costs expensed, loss on extinguishment of debt, severance and executive transition costs, and restructuring costs, and adjusted to reflect the income tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments to GAAP loss before income tax expense.

●Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) Per Share. Navan defines non-GAAP income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders, basic, as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted-average shares outstanding used in computing GAAP net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic. Navan defines non-GAAP income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders, diluted, as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted-average shares outstanding giving effect to the weighted average of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period including options to purchase common stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase rights under our 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock awards is reflected in non-GAAP diluted income per share by application of the treasury method.

●Free Cash Flow. Navan defines free cash flow as GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reduced by cash used for investing activities for capitalized software development costs and purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful indicator of our sources of liquidity and capital requirements that provides information to management and investors in evaluating the cash flow trends of our business.

Key Business Metrics:

We monitor and review a number of metrics, including the following key business metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe that these key business metrics provide meaningful supplemental information in assessing our operating performance.

Gross Booking Volume (GBV)

We define GBV as the total amount paid for valid bookings on our platform, measured on a booked basis and inclusive of total price, taxes, and fees, and adjusted for cancellations and refunds. We generate GBV through hotel, flight, car, and rail bookings, along with usage of our Meetings & Events, VIP, and Bleisure offerings by our customers. We expand GBV by growing our customer base, managing more business travel spend on our platform, and introducing new offerings to address different types of business travel.

Payment Volume

We define payment volume as the aggregate dollar amount of spend through Navan issued cards, settled for a given period and net of any chargebacks, cancellations, or refunds. Our payment volume grows as we increase adoption and usage of our Corporate Payments offering, where we support and issue our own cards.
