Rules of thumb on reported numbers. A starting point, not a recommendation.
About these figures. Dynatrace's filings tag only its depreciation as its depreciation and amortization total for fiscal 2018 to 2023, leaving out its amortization of intangibles (US$42 million to US$73 million a year), so depreciation and amortization, EBITDA and the ratios built on it are left blank.
Is it selling more, and how much does it keep?
KIRA Β· Dynatrace had $2.0B of revenue in fiscal 2026, up 18.8% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +23.5% a year on average. Its operating margin was 12.2%, up 1.6Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about 12 is left after running the business.
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA Β· Free cash flow was $530M in fiscal 2026, 26.2% of revenue.
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
