Page 12 of 12

Brent Bowman: Yes, and it’s simply a direct reduction to revenue at close to op — operating income in Q1. I think — but the important piece here is the total value of these deals is not diminished or impaired. It’s over — you’re just taking that revenue and opt income over the remaining life of those individual orders, which could be an additional one year, an additional two year, three and four years and so on.

Jack Wallace: Got you and then just the last follow-up on that is with the headwind diminishing over the course of the year, is that related to the midstream deals that are operating, say, above the multiyear ACV?

Brent Bowman: It’s those deals, the remaining deals before renewal, where there’s still an amount of revenue above billings. That’s what — that’s the remaining residual, the 95 minus 52, and that amount is diminishing over Q2 through Q4.

Jack Wallace: Okay, thank you.

Brent Bowman: You bet.

Operator: Next up is Natalie Hao , Bank of America.

Unidentified Analyst: Okay, thanks for taking my question. You touched on R&D earlier and throughout this call, and I wanted to ask a little bit more on clinical. So you mentioned that you’re only 5% penetrated in clinical data and 30% in operations. Does clinical represent an opportunity more for new customers or rather, does it target the existing base? And for my second question, still on R&D. You mentioned some strength in Development Cloud. What products coming in fiscal year ’24 will help sustain the R&D growth rate that we can look forward to? Thank you.

Peter Gassner: Okay. I’ll take that one. This is Peter. In the clinical, a lot of that is going to be from existing customers, but that’s for example, some of our most established products are in clinical, eTMF, and we have a lot of eTMF customers. To those customers, we can sell other clinical operations product, eTMF, study training and we can start to sell clinical data management. So they are existing customers, but we’ll be getting into new departments in the way, I would think about it. In terms of brand-new customers, brand new, those are usually come in the small SMB companies that aren’t commercial yet. They’re just clinical. They’re running their first couple of trials. They may or may not have our quality suite. And then in terms of where the revenue is coming from in Development Cloud, the real growth areas are for us, clinical area, both clinical operations and clinical data management, and also quality.

Quality has a long runway to grow and a deep pipeline there. Regulatory and safety, those are contributing pretty well, but the two biggest ones are — the biggest one is clinical and the second biggest is quality.

Unidentified Analyst: Awesome, thank you.

Peter Gassner: Thank you.

Operator: And that was our final question. I’d like to hand the call back to Mr. Peter Gassner for any additional or closing remarks.

Peter Gassner: Thank you, everyone, for joining the call today, and thank you to our customers for your continued partnership and to the Veeva team for your outstanding work in the quarter. Thank you.

Operator: And everyone, that does conclude today’s conference. We would like to thank you all for your participation today. You may now disconnect.
