Is the Apple iOS provisioning device limit cumulative?

We are coming up to our iOS Developer Program renewal date and I want to make sure I fully understand how the device limit works so we maximise the number of test devices.

Am I right in thinking that the 100 device per year is on top of what we already have? Therefore, should we be aiming to add as many of the 100 devices before we renew to get the most out of the limit?

Does that mean that after two years of membership you can have up to 200 devices?

I found this in the Developer Support Center but it didn't really answer my question:

How many iOS devices can I register for testing and Ad Hoc distribution?

You are allowed to register up to 100 iOS devices for testing and Ad Hoc distribution per membership year. Please Note: Although you may remove a device from your account, it will continue to count against your 100 device limit.

How do I reset my list of iOS development devices in the iOS Provisioning Portal?

At the start of your new membership year, Team Agents or Admins can sign in to the iOS Provsioning Portal to remove listed devices and restore the available device count to 100 devices. Be sure to remove all devices you no longer use for development prior to adding any new devices.

No, it's not cumulative, that excerpt explains that each year you can remove the existing devices to end up in a state where you then have 100 available...but if device x remains, you only have 99 left
