Based on current exchange rates, the expected positive currency translation impact on Progress' fiscal year 2021 business outlook compared to 2020 exchange rates is approximately $6.4 million on GAAP and non-GAAP revenue, and approximately $0.02 on GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. The expected positive currency translation impact on Progress' fiscal Q1 2021 business outlook compared to 2020 exchange rates on GAAP and non-GAAP revenue is approximately $1.4 million. The expected currency translation impact on GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share for fiscal Q1 2021 is not material. To the extent that there are changes in exchange rates versus the current environment, this may have an impact on Progress' business outlook.

| (1) Acquisition-related revenue constitutes revenue reflected as pre-acquisition deferred revenue that would otherwise have been recognized but for the purchase accounting treatment of acquisitions. Since GAAP accounting requires the elimination of this revenue, GAAP results alone do not fully capture all of our economic activities. Acquisition-related revenue adjustments relate to Progress' Application Development and Deployment business segment for Chef in fiscal year 2020 and Progress' OpenEdge business segment for Ipswitch in fiscal year 2019. |
| (2) Primarily represents a reduction in the carrying values of the intangible assets associated with Kinvey and DataRPM. |

| (1) Acquisition-related revenue constitutes revenue reflected as pre-acquisition deferred revenue that would otherwise have been recognized but for the purchase accounting treatment of acquisitions. Since GAAP accounting requires the elimination of this revenue, GAAP results alone do not fully capture all of our economic activities. Acquisition-related revenue adjustments relate to Progress' Application Development and Deployment business segment for Chef in fiscal year 2020 and Progress' OpenEdge business segment for Ipswitch in fiscal year 2019. |
| (2) Primarily represents a reduction in the carrying values of the intangible assets associated with Kinvey and DataRPM. |
