§   EBITDAS(a non GAAP measure; see attached schedule which reconciles to GAAP net income) decreased 63% to $4.0 million from $10.8 million during the second quarter of 2008;

§   The Company continued to generate strong operating cash flow during the second quarter and increased cash on hand by $6.4 million during the quarter and $8.4 million year-to-date as of June 30, 2009 to a balance of $31.3 million; and

§   The Company repurchased 639,000 shares of its stock during the quarter at a cost of $4.2 million.  Since the end of the quarter we have purchased an additional 260,000 shares bringing the total shares purchased to date to 3.4 million shares at a total cost of $18.0 million.

“During the second quarter, Perficient continued to execute well in a challenging market,” said Jack McDonald, Perficient’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Cash earnings and revenues were in-line with analyst estimates and we continued to generate cash flow, build our balance sheet and repurchase shares.”

“While we expect any market recovery to be incremental rather than immediate, we are beginning to see positive signs,” said Jeffrey Davis, Perficient’s president and chief operating officer. “In July, our new business booked was more than 30% higher than that achieved during any other month in 2009 and we are cautiously optimistic for the remainder of the year.”

-- Added new customer relationships and follow-up projects with leading companies including:  ATP Oil and Gas, Avaya, BJC Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield Florida, Bob Evans Farms, CVR Energy, First Solar, Halliburton, Highmark, Kaiser Permanente, NetJets, Polycom, Safeway, Sigma Aldrich, Verizon, Warner Chilcott, and many others;

The Company is reiterating its full-year revenue guidance range of $180 million to $200 million and adjusting our 2009 cash earnings per share guidance range to $0.30 to $0.40 to reflect the current economic environment and to align more closely with analysts’ consensus estimate.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Perficient, Inc. (“Perficient”) provides non-GAAP measures for EBITDAS (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock compensation), net income and net income per share data as supplemental information regarding Perficient’s business performance. Perficient believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude non-operating charges. Perficient’s management excludes these non-operating charges when it internally evaluates the performance of Perficient’s business and makes operating decisions, including internal budgeting, performance measurement and the calculation of bonuses and discretionary compensation, because these measures provide a consistent method of comparison to historical periods. Moreover, management believes these non-GAAP measures reflect the essential operating activities of Perficient. Accordingly, management excludes stock-based compensation related to employee stock options and restricted stock awards, the amortization of intangible assets and income tax effects of the foregoing, when making operational decisions.

Perficient believes that providing the non-GAAP measures that management uses to its investors is useful to investors for a number of reasons. The non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for investors to understand Perficient’s financial performance in comparison to historical periods. In addition, it allows investors to evaluate Perficient’s performance using the same methodology and information that is used by Perficient’s management.

Non-GAAP measures are subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all of the expenses included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. However, Perficient’s management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of non-GAAP EBITDAS, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share. In addition, some items that are excluded from non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share can have a material impact on cash flows and stock compensation charges can have a significant impact on earnings. Management compensates for these limitations by evaluating the non-GAAP measure together with the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Perficient has historically provided non-GAAP measures to the investment community as a supplement to its GAAP results, to enable investors to evaluate Perficient’s business performance in the way that management does. Perficient’s definition may be different from similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies and/or analysts.

The non-GAAP adjustments, and the basis for excluding them, are outlined below:

Stock-based Compensation

Perficient incurs stock-based compensation expense under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (As Amended), Share Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”).Perficient excludes this item for the purposes of calculating non-GAAP EBITDAS, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share because it is a non-cash expense that Perficient believes is not reflective of its business performance. The nature of the stock-based compensation expense also makes it very difficult to estimate prospectively, since the expense will vary with changes in the stock price and market conditions at the time of new grants, varying valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and different award types, making the comparison of current results with forward looking guidance potentially difficult for investors to interpret. The tax effects of stock-based compensation expenses may also vary significantly from period to period, without any change in underlying operational performance, thereby obscuring the underlying profitability of operations relative to prior periods. The exclusion of stock-based compensation from the non-GAAP measures also allows a consistent comparison of Perficient’s relative historical financial performance, since the method for accounting for stock-based compensation changed at the beginning of fiscal year 2006 when Perficient adopted SFAS 123R. Finally, Perficient believes that non-GAAP measures of profitability that exclude stock-based compensation are widely used by analysts and investors.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Perficient has incurred amortization of intangible assets, included in its GAAP financial statements, primarily related to various acquisitions Perficient has made. Management excludes these items for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP EBITDAS, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share. Perficient believes that eliminating this expense from its non-GAAP measures is useful to investors because the amortization of intangible assets can be inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of Perficient’s acquisition transactions, which also vary substantially in frequency from period to period.
