    Based on current exchange rates, the expected negative currency translation impact on Progress' fiscal year 2022 business outlook compared to 2021 exchange rates is approximately $7.5 million on GAAP and non-GAAP revenue, and approximately $0.03 on GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. The expected negative currency translation impact on Progress' fiscal Q1 2022 business outlook compared to 2021 exchange rates on GAAP and non-GAAP revenue is approximately $2.5 million. The expected negative currency translation impact on GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for fiscal Q1 2022 is approximately $0.01. To the extent that there are changes in exchange rates versus the current environment, this may have an impact on Progress' business outlook.
