Justification for our rating
Atlassian doesn’t have consistently high usage of interest but recently reported an uptick in their interest expense which put it above our comfort limit for Interest Expense / Total Expense of 5%. We will check on this number next quarter to see if this uptick was a one-time event or indicative of a more long-lasting reliance on interest.
