Annual Report

Fiscal 2025

Fellow Shareholders,

FY25 was a transformative year for Zoom. As I reflect on the past twelve months, I am incredibly proud of how we evolved our mission, refined our strategy, and strengthened our value proposition for our customers to

position ourselves for long-term success. We sharpened our focus as an AI-first open work platform, while significantly expanding our capabilities across communication and collaboration, customer experience, and employee engagement. Amid ongoing macroeconomic pressures, we executed with agility-dialing up innovation and delivering value to both our customers and shareholders. On the Q4 earnings call, I shared these three key strategic priorities:

Expand AI capabilities to drive customer value

Rapidly innovate within Zoom Workplace

Scale growth businesses such as Contact Center and Workvivo

These priorities are guiding Zoom now and as we look ahead, building upon the progress achieved in FY25.

Expanding AI capabilities to drive customer value Since its release in September 2023, Zoom AI Companion has rapidly become an indispensable part of our platform, driving customer value and competitive differentiation. At Zoomtopia in October 2024, we shared that more than four million accounts have AI Companion enabled-and that number has grown significantly since. More importantly, AI usage is taking hold at an accelerated pace; in Q4 the number of Monthly Active Users1increased 68% quarter over quarter, up from 59% in Q3. This trend underscores the rising demand for practical, integrated AI solutions designed to boost productivity, drive revenue, reduce costs, and enable people to focus on their most important work.

Zoom was among the first to adopt a federated, multi-model approach to AI, untethering from any one technology. This flexible approach enables us to dynamically select the most suitable model for each task, delivering the highest quality for customers while optimizing for cost efficiency. We were also early in

committing to developing our AI technology without training on customer content, staying true to our deeply-held belief that trust is paramount and the best way to drive adoption of our products.

During our Zoomtopia conference in San Jose, we showcased breakthrough innovation and unveiled AI Companion 2.0, marking a step change in the evolution of Zoom's AI capabilities. This release built upon the success of popular AI Companion features like meeting summaries and in-meeting questions, and leverages the deep contextual advantages of Zoom's system of engagement to synthesize information and take action on the user's behalf. New capabilities in memory, reasoning, orchestration, and integrations with leading productivity suites represent a thoughtful and deliberate evolution from a task-specific assistant towards being truly agentic.

Our innovation engine and ambitious roadmap continue to expand Zoom's total addressable market and directly address customers' pain points. The Custom AI Companion, our first paid AI add-on in Workplace, is designed to automate workplace tasks through powerful, customizable agents. This allows organizations to tailor AI to their unique needs by connecting with their existing data and integrating seamlessly with third-party tools to drive intelligent, agentic actions. We also announced verticalized AI solutions for Healthcare and Education, and Zoom Workplace for Frontline-all on track to be generally available in FY26. These purpose-built offerings are natural extensions of our core collaboration suite and are designed to unlock growth in industries undergoing rapid transformation driven by AI automation.

Rapidly innovating within Zoom Workplace

Zoom Workplace continued to evolve in FY25, with AI infused across Zoom Phone, Meetings, Team Chat, Whiteboard and more. In Q1 we rolled out a refreshed user interface, expanded integrations, and new workflow automation capabilities. The redesigned interface streamlines the user experience, positioning Team Chat as a centralized hub for asynchronous communications-with intuitive access and seamless interoperability across all Zoom collaboration tools. In Q2 we took a major step forward in our platform vision with the launch of Zoom Docs, a powerful AI-native offering that extends our presence across more touchpoints in the productivity lifecycle. Zoom Docs enables users to transform information from across
