Note 2. Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2015 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 filed on February 24, 2016. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures contained in this Quarterly Report comply with the requirements of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are meant to be, and should be, read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 filed on February 24, 2016.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments and those items discussed in these Notes) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the financial position and results for the dates and periods presented. The results for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new accounting guidance: Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment. The guidance simplifies the accounting for share-based transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities on the balance sheet, and classification of employee taxes paid on statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected not to early adopt. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance: Leases. The guidance requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. The guidance states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected not to early adopt and is evaluating the potential impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will replace most existing U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the

4

consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date for the new revenue reporting standard for entities reporting under U.S. GAAP. In accordance with the deferral, this guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on its financial statements and has not selected a transition method.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from two sources: (1) subscription and support; and (2) professional services and other. Subscription and support revenue includes subscription fees from customers accessing its on-demand application suite and support fees from customers purchasing support. Arrangements with customers do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the software supporting the on-demand application service at any time. Professional services and other revenue includes fees generated from training and consulting services such as business process mapping, configuration, data migration and integration. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. For the most part, subscription and support agreements are entered into for 12 to 36 months. In aggregate, 85% of the professional services component of the arrangements with customers is performed within 300 days of entering into a contract with the customer.

The subscription agreements generally provide service level commitments of 99.5% uptime per period, excluding scheduled maintenance. The failure to meet this level of service availability may require the Company to credit qualifying customers up to the value of an entire month of their subscription and support fees. In light of the Company’s historical experience with meeting its service level commitments, the Company's accrued liability related to such obligations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements is negligible.

The Company commences revenue recognition when all of the following conditions are met:

• There is persuasive evidence of an arrangement;

• The service is being provided to the customer;

• The collection of the fees is reasonably assured; and

• The amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.

In most instances, revenue from new customer acquisition is generated under sales agreements with multiple elements, comprised of subscription and support fees from customers accessing the Company's on-demand application suite and professional services associated with consultation services. The Company evaluates each element in a multiple-element arrangement to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting. An element constitutes a separate unit of accounting when the delivered item has standalone value and delivery of the undelivered element is probable and within the Company’s control. Subscription and support have standalone value because they are routinely sold separately by the Company. Professional services have standalone value because the Company has sold professional services separately and there are several third-party vendors that routinely provide similar professional services to its customers on a standalone basis.

The Company allocates revenue to each element in an arrangement based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”), if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price (“ESP”), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. As the Company has been unable to establish VSOE or TPE for the elements of its arrangements, the Company establishes the ESP for each element primarily by considering the weighted average of actual sales prices of professional services sold on a standalone basis and subscription and support including various add-on modules when sold together without professional services, and other factors such as gross margin objectives, pricing practices and growth strategy. The consideration allocated to subscription and support

5

is recognized as revenue over the contract period commencing when the subscription service is made available to the customer. The consideration allocated to professional services is recognized as revenue using the proportional performance method.

The total arrangement fee for a multiple element arrangement is allocated based on the relative ESP of each element. However, since the professional services are generally completed prior to completion of delivery of subscription and support services, the revenue recognized for professional services in a given reporting period does not include fees subject to delivery of subscription and support services. This results in the recognition of revenue for professional services that is generally no greater than the contractual fees for those professional services.

For single element sales agreements, subscription and support revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the provisioning date of the contract. The Company recognizes professional services revenue using the proportional performance method for single element arrangements.

Sales and other taxes collected from customers to be remitted to government authorities are excluded from revenues.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments potentially exposing the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, restricted cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable balances. The allowance is based upon historical loss patterns and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with problem accounts. The Company generally charges off the receivable balances of uncollectible accounts when accounts are 120 days past-due based on the account’s contractual terms. Credit risk arising from accounts receivable is mitigated due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across various industries. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were no customers that represented more than 10% of the net accounts receivable balance. There were no customers that individually exceeded 10% of the Company’s revenue in any of the periods presented. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, long-lived assets located outside the United States totaled $27.7 million and $21.4 million, respectively.

Revenue by geographic region, based on the billing address of the customer, was as follows for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,						Three Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
	(dollars in thousands)
United States	$	334,638		$	254,639		$	172,158		$	133,269
International	112,711			87,458			58,613			44,011
Total revenue	$	447,349		$	342,097		$	230,771		$	177,280
Percentage of revenue generated outside of the United States	25		%	26		%	25		%	25		%

No single country outside the United States represented more than 10% of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015.

The Company maintains cash balances at several banks. Accounts located in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), up to $250,000. Certain operating cash accounts may exceed the FDIC limits.

Intellectual Property Rights Indemnification

The Company’s arrangements include provisions indemnifying customers against liabilities if the Company's products infringe a third-party’s intellectual property rights. The Company has not incurred any costs as a result of such indemnifications and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

During six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company purchased all the outstanding equity of a professional services firm ("PFS") and acquired certain assets and assumed certain obligations from an on-demand manufacturing software company ("MSC"), a private company that provides its customers with resource planning, production scheduling and quality management services. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company incurred transaction costs totaling $1.8 million, and are reflected as general and administrative expense in the Company's statement of operations.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the consideration to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition dates:

	2016 Acquisitions
	PFS		MSC
	April 1, 2016		February 26, 2016
	(dollars in thousands)
Developed technology	$	—	$	1,500
Customer relationships	1,840		250
Goodwill	7,034		7,774
Other assets / (liabilities), net	1,033		(212		)
Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed	$	9,907	$	9,312

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company allocated the purchase price to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. To determine the value of the intangible assets, the Company made various estimates and assumptions. For PFS, the methodologies used in valuing the intangible assets include, but are not limited to, multiple period excess earnings method for customer relationships. For MSC, the methodologies used in valuing the intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the multiple period excess earnings approach for developed technology and the with-and-without approach for customer relationships. In both acquisitions, the excess of the purchase price over the total net identifiable assets has been recorded as goodwill which includes synergies expected from the expanded service capabilities and the value of the assembled workforce in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. $7.0 million of the acquired PFS goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, and $7.8 million of the acquired MSC goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company did not record any in-process research and development intangible assets in connection with the acquisitions.

The Company will amortize certain intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the following periods:

	PFS			MSC
	Fair Value		Useful Life	Fair Value		Useful Life
	(dollars in thousands)		(in years)	(dollars in thousands)		(in years)
Developed technology	$	—	—	$	1,500	5
Customer relationships	1,840		3	250		4

PFS

On April 1, 2016, the Company acquired PFS to increase its professional services resources. Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, PFS assets, liabilities and operating results are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. On the closing date, the Company paid approximately $9.7 million in cash and will pay an additional $202,000 in the third quarter of 2016. Of the consideration paid, $1.4 million is being held in escrow for up to 24 months following the close of the transaction in the event of certain breaches of representations and warranties. Acquisition related transaction costs amounted to $1.0 million in the three months period ended June 30, 2016, and are reflected as general and administrative expense in the Company's statement of operations.

The initial accounting for PFS accounts receivable, intangible assets, other employee related liabilities, and vendor obligations is incomplete because the Company is in the process of determining the fair value of these assets and liabilities. The

7

Company is also undertaking an analysis of certain tax matters associated with the PFS acquisition which could result in an adjustment to the acquisition price allocation.

MSC

On February 26, 2016, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain obligations from an on-demand manufacturing software company ("MSC"), a private company that provides its customers with resource planning, production scheduling and quality management services. MSC functionality will be added to the Company's existing solution. Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, MSC assets, liabilities and operating results are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The Company paid approximately $9.3 million in cash. Of the consideration paid, $1.1 million is being held in escrow for up to 24 months following the close of the transaction in the event of certain breaches of representations, and warranties. Additionally, $400,000 of the total consideration is being held in escrow for potential tax obligations covered in the purchase agreement. Acquisition related transaction costs amounted to $725,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2016, and are reflected as general and administrative expense in the statement of operations.

The initial accounting for MSC accounts receivable, intangible assets, other customer related liabilities, and vendor obligations is incomplete because the Company is in the process of determining the fair value of these assets and liabilities. The Company is also undertaking an analysis of certain tax matters associated with the MSC acquisition which could result in an adjustment to the acquisition price allocation.

Comparative pro forma financial information for the acquisitions above have not been presented because the historical financial results of both PFS and MSC are not material to the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations individually or in aggregate.

Goodwill

The following table details the Company's goodwill activity during the six months ended June 30, 2016:

	(dollars in thousands)
Balance as of January 1, 2016	$	291,956
Acquisition of MSC	7,774
Acquisition of PFS	7,034
Other adjustments to goodwill	(1,872		)
Foreign exchange adjustment	813
Balance as of June 30, 2016	$	305,705

On June 8, 2015, the Company completed the purchase of all the outstanding equity of Bronto Software, Inc. (“Bronto"), a private company that provides a cloud-based marketing platform for its customers to drive revenue through their email, mobile and social campaigns. Bronto functionality enhances the Company’s existing email marketing solution and its existing omnichannel commerce platform. The Company paid approximately $98.2 million in cash and issued 1,030,508 unregistered shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of $85.9 million, inclusive of a discount from the quoted market price due to certain trading restrictions associated with the shares. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company decreased Bronto goodwill by $1.1 million due to working capital and tax adjustments.

On August 5, 2015, the Company completed the purchase of all the outstanding equity of Monexa Services Inc. ("Monexa"), a private company that provides cloud-based invoicing and payment services for its customers. Monexa functionality enhances the Company’s existing invoicing and payment solution. On the closing date, the Company paid approximately $33.1 million in cash as consideration. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company increased the fair value of the customer relationships and developed technology by a total of $900,000 resulting in a reduction of goodwill.

The initial accounting for Monexa intangible assets is incomplete because the Company is in the process of determining the fair value of these assets. The Company is also undertaking an analysis of certain tax matters associated with the Monexa acquisition which could result in an adjustment to the acquisition price allocation.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

8

Accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised of foreign currency translation gains and losses, net of tax, marketable securities unrealized gains and losses and an accumulated pension liability for employees located in the Philippines. There were no significant reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive loss to the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Note 3. Financial Instruments

The Company invests primarily in money market funds, commercial paper, highly liquid debt instruments of the U.S. government and its agencies, U.S. municipal obligations, and U.S. and foreign corporate debt securities. All highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents and all highly liquid investments with maturities of greater than 90 days but less than a year from date of purchase are classified as short-term marketable securities. Highly liquid investments with maturities of greater than a year from the balance sheet date are classified as marketable securities, non-current. Short-term marketable securities and marketable securities, non-current are also classified as available-for-sale. The Company intends to hold marketable securities, non-current, until maturity; however, it may sell these securities at any time for use in current operations or for other purposes, such as consideration for acquisition. Consequently, the Company may or may not hold securities with stated maturities greater than twelve months until maturity.

The Company carries its fixed income investments at fair value and unrealized gains and losses on these investments, net of taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of total equity. Realized gains or losses are included in other income / (expense), net section of the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. When a determination has been made that an other-than-temporary decline in fair value has occurred, the amount of the decline that is related to a credit loss is realized and is included in the other income / (expense), net section of the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis based on a fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are:

• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

Level 1 Measurements

The Company's cash equivalents held in money market funds and available-for-sale United States Treasury securities are measured at fair value using level 1 inputs.

Level 2 Measurements

The Company's available-for-sale corporate debt securities, commercial paper and United States government agency securities are measured at fair value using level 2 inputs. The Company obtains the fair values of its level 2 available-for-sale securities from a professional pricing service.

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are measured at fair value using foreign currency rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers and other public data sources. Such instruments are classified as Level 2 and are included in other current assets and liabilities.

10

The fair value of these financial assets and liabilities was determined using the following inputs as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Balance Sheet Hedging - Hedging of Foreign Currency Assets and Liabilities

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company hedged certain of its nonfunctional currency denominated assets and liabilities to reduce the risk that earnings would be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. Gains and losses from these forward contracts are recorded each period as a component of other income / (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The notional amount of derivative instruments acquired during the period was $234.4 million. The Company accounts for derivative instruments as other current assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and measures them at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded as other income / (expense). These derivative instruments do not subject the Company to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these derivatives are intended to offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being economically hedged.

11

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had the following outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts:

	June 30, 2016				December 31, 2015

The effect of derivative instruments on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss was as follows for the periods presented:

	Location of net gain (loss) recognized in income on derivatives	Amount of net gain (loss) recognized in income on derivatives during the
		Six Months Ended June 30,				Three Months Ended June 30,

Total		$	269	$	717	$	1,432	$	(509	)

The Company has entered into its foreign exchange contracts with multiple counterparties. During the periods such contracts are open, the Company is subject to a potential maximum amount of loss due to credit risk equal to the gross fair value of the derivative instrument, if the counterparties to the instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts. The agreements with the counterparties do not require either party to provide collateral to mitigate the credit risk of the agreements.

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings and receives claims from time to time, arising from the normal course of business activities. The Company has accrued for estimated losses in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for matters with respect to which it believes the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the

12

amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Accrued estimated losses included in the financial statements as of June 30, 2016 are negligible.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company entered into various office space leases to expand its operations primarily in the United States and the Philippines. The corresponding lease terms for these agreements expire at various dates through 2027. The Company will pay a total of $8.3 million, net of any lessor lease incentives, over the corresponding lease terms for additional office space.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company entered into various office space leases to expand its operations primarily in the United Kingdom and Australia. The corresponding lease terms for these agreements expire at various dates through 2024. The Company will pay a total of $10.2 million, net of any lessor lease incentives, over the corresponding lease terms for additional office space.

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of June 30, 2016 are as follows:

	Operating leases
	(dollars in thousands)
Years ending:
Remainder of 2016		$	8,259

2020		18,908
Thereafter		37,191
Future minimum lease payments		$	137,586

Note 5. Stock-based Compensation

In April 2016, the Company's board of directors granted selected executives and other key employees 236,586 performance share units ("PSUs") whose vesting is contingent upon the Company's performance in comparison to certain indexed companies' performance over a three year period. In May 2019, the Company will determine the number of shares the participants will receive which can range from zero to 200% based on the Company's performance. The fair value and the related stock-based compensation expense of performance based PSUs are determined based on the value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and will be recognized over the performance term. The fair value of the market-based PSUs on the date of grant (measurement date) is $73.13 for the 231,443 shares granted on April 1, 2016 and $99.91 for the 5,143 shares granted on April 28, 2016. The fair value was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that estimates the distribution of the potential outcomes of the PSU grants based on simulated future stock prices of the indexed companies.

    Under the Company's employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP"), employees may purchase the Company’s common stock through accumulated payroll deductions. Stock purchase rights are granted to eligible employees during a six month offering period with purchase dates at the end of each offering period. The offering periods generally commence each May 1 and November 1. Shares are purchased through employees’ payroll deductions, up to a maximum of 15% of employees’ compensation, at purchase prices equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at either the date of the employee’s entrance to the offering period or the purchase date. During the second quarter of 2016, employees purchased 98,099 shares for $64.52 per share under the ESPP. ESPP share-based compensation expense was $2.0 million and $1.1 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company's board of directors set the performance goals for 41,635 performance shares (“PS”), with a fair value of $53.66 per share, that were included in the 2015 PS grant to selected executives and other key employees. The PS vesting is contingent upon the Company meeting certain company-wide revenue performance goals (performance-based) in 2016. These shares are subject to term vesting conditions. The PS fair value and the related stock-based compensation expense were determined based on the value of the underlying shares on February 9, 2016 when the performance goals were established and will be recognized over the vesting term. During the interim financial periods, management estimates the probable number of PS that will be granted until the achievement of the performance goals are known at December 31, 2016.

Note 6. Debt

0.25% Convertible Senior Notes

In June 2013, the Company issued at par value $310.0 million of 0.25% convertible senior notes due June 1, 2018 (the “Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on December 1 and June 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2013.

The Notes are governed by an indenture dated as of June 4, 2013, between the Company, as issuer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Notes do not contain any financial covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the incurrence of senior debt or other indebtedness, or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company. The Notes are unsecured and rank senior in right of payment to the Company's future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, rank equal in right of payment to the Company's existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated. The Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of the Company's secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness, liabilities incurred by our subsidiaries including trade payables, and preferred stock of the Company.

Upon conversion, the Company may choose to pay or deliver, as the case may be, either cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock. If converted, holders will receive, at the Company's election, cash and/or shares of the Company's common stock for the principal amount of the Notes and any amounts in excess of the principal amounts. The Company intends to settle the principal amount of the Notes with cash if converted.

The initial conversion rate is 8.6133 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The initial conversion price is approximately $116.10 per share of the Company's common stock and represents a conversion premium of approximately 35% based on the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock of $86.00 on May 29, 2013, the date the Notes offering was priced. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, including, but not limited to, the issuance of stock dividends and payment of cash dividends. Holders of the Notes will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest upon conversion of a Note unless the conversion date occurs after a regular record date related to the Notes and prior to the related interest payment date. At any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 1, 2018, holders may convert their Notes at their option only under the following circumstances:

 ● during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended on September 30, 2013 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

 ● during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or

 ● upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions described in the indenture governing the Notes.

On and after March 1, 2018 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. If a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture governing the Notes) occurs when the Company's stock price is between $86.00 and $275.00 per share and a holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change, such holder may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate as provided for in the Indenture governing the Notes.

As of June 30, 2016, circumstances that would give rise to a conversion option for the holders of Notes do not exist.

Holders of the Notes have the right to require the Company to purchase with cash all or a portion of the Notes upon the occurrence of any event that constitutes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture governing the Notes) at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In accounting for the issuance of the Notes, the Company separated the Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was

14

determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the Notes as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Note. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

In accounting for the $8.4 million in transaction costs related to the Note issuance, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. The $6.7 million in transaction costs attributable to the liability component which offset the convertible notes are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes, and the $1.7 million in transaction costs attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component in additional paid-in capital. The Notes consisted of the following as of June 30, 2016:

	June 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
	(in thousands)
Equity component (1)	$	60,931		$	60,931
Liability component:
Principal	$	310,000		$	310,000
Less: debt discount, net	(25,750		)	(32,045		)
Less: unamortized transaction costs	(2,710		)	(3,379		)
Net carrying amount	$	281,540		$	274,576
Fair value - level 2	$	305,133		$	307,024

(1) Included in the consolidated balance sheets within additional paid-in capital, net of the $1.7 million in equity issuance costs.

To comply with the recent FASB accounting guidance, effective in the first quarter of 2016, the Company changed the presentation of unamortized transaction costs on the balance sheets from being presented in other long term assets to a direct deduction from the convertible debt liability. The Company also retrospectively changed its December 31, 2015 balance sheet for this presentation. The Notes are carried at face value less any unamortized debt discount and transaction costs, and also require disclosure of an estimate of fair value. The Company considers the fair value of the Notes at each balance sheet date to be a level 2 measurement because it is determined based on a recent quoted market price or dealer quote for the Notes. The Notes quoted market price or dealer quote is based on the trading price of the Company's common stock and market activity that is less than an active exchange.

As of June 30, 2016, the remaining life of the Notes is approximately 1.9 years. The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to the Notes:

		Six Months Ended June 30,				Three Months Ended June 30,
		2016		2015		2016		2015
	(in thousands)
Contractual interest expense		$	388	$	388	$	194	$	194
Amortization of debt issuance costs		669		640		336		322
Amortization of debt discount		6,295		6,001		3,173		3,025
Total		$	7,352	$	7,029	$	3,703	$	3,541
Effective interest rate	5.4%

Note 7. Income Taxes

The Company has incurred annual operating losses since inception. As a result of those continuing losses, management has determined insufficient evidence exists to support that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of its U.S. net deferred tax assets and therefore has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce the net carrying value of these deferred tax assets to zero. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a provision for income taxes for any of the periods presented other than provisions for state and foreign income taxes.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had net deferred tax asset in foreign jurisdictions of approximately $700,000. Based on available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the benefits of the foreign deferred tax assets will be realized in full with the exception of the Japanese deferred tax assets.

The Company does not anticipate a material change in the total amount or composition of its unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company has not provided for residual U.S. taxes on any of its income from foreign jurisdictions since it intends to indefinitely reinvest the net undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries offshore.

The Company files federal, state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. Due to the carry forward of net operating losses, the Company's income tax returns generally remain subject to examination by federal and most state tax authorities. In most of the Company's significant foreign jurisdictions, 2009 through the current taxable year remain subject to examination by their respective tax authorities.

Note 8. Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive shares of common stock, including options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs"), performance shares ("PS"), employee stock purchase plan shares and convertible debt shares. Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock were the same for all periods presented as the impact of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding was anti-dilutive.

The following table presents the calculation of the numerator and denominator used in the basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock:

	Six Months Ended June 30,						Three Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
	(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share amounts)
Numerator:
Net loss	$	(67,488	)	$	(55,000	)	$	(37,743	)	$	(32,287	)
Denominator:
Weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock	80,364			77,627			80,641			77,975
Net loss per share of common stock, basic and diluted	$	(0.84	)	$	(0.71	)	$	(0.47	)	$	(0.41	)

The Company’s unvested RSUs, PSUs and PS do not contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and dividend equivalents. As such, unvested RSUs, PSUs and PS are not participating securities and the Company is not required to use the two-class method to calculate diluted earnings per share in periods when the Company has net income.

16

The following table presents the weighted average potential shares that are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the periods presented because including them would have had an anti‑dilutive effect:

	Six Months Ended June 30,		Three Months Ended June 30,
	2016	2015	2016	2015
	(Shares in thousands)
Options to purchase shares of common stock	1,861	2,237	1,932	2,306
Unvested RSUs, PSUs, PS and ESPP awards	3,908	3,033	4,691	3,151
Total	5,769	5,270	6,623	5,457

The effect of the convertible Notes is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method as the Company intends to settle the principal amount of the Note in cash upon conversion.

The Company has entered into various software license agreements with Oracle USA, Inc., an affiliate of Oracle Corporation. Lawrence J. Ellison, who beneficially owns a significant portion of the Company’s common stock, is the Chief Technology Officer, a director and a principal stockholder of Oracle Corporation.

On February 28, 2013, the Company entered into the third amendment to the perpetual software license agreement with Oracle USA ("Amendment"). The Amendment provides for a 48 month extension to the May 2010 second amendment to the Oracle unlimited license agreement. The Amendment provides that the Company will pay a one-time fee of $13.1 million to extend the term for unlimited licenses from May 31, 2014 to May 31, 2018. The Amendment also provides for technical support services. During the first quarters of 2015 and 2016, the Company renewed the support service agreement for $4.3 million per annum and may renew support services for the 2017 annual period at the same rate. The support services to be provided to the Company by Oracle automatically renew unless the Company provides written notice of cancellation at least 60 days prior to the support renewal date. The Company financed the license fees due under the Amendment pursuant to a note issued to Oracle Credit Corporation. The note bears interest at a rate of 2.00% per annum with payments scheduled over the term of the amendment. The Company discounted the note at a rate of 4.5% because it approximates the interest rate the Company would obtain on the open market. The $12.4 million discounted note value was recorded as an asset addition to property and equipment that will be depreciated over seven years.

Future debt payments under notes payable as of June 30, 2016 are as follows:

	(dollars in thousands)
Years ending:
Remainder of 2016	$	1,560

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company received negligible payments from Oracle Corporation and received payments totaling $150,000 during the same period in 2015 for services it performed.

In addition to the companies affiliated with Lawrence J. Ellison, the Company enters into sales and purchases agreements with various companies that have a relationship with the Company's executive officers or members of the Company's board of directors. The relationships are typically an equity investment by the executive officer or board member in the customer / vendor company or the Company's executive officer or board member is a member of the customer / vendor company's board of directors. The Company has renewed the license agreements and sold additional services to these customers or purchased services from these vendors at various points in time. As of June 30, 2016, the Company's accounts receivable related to these customers totaled $0.7 million. Below is a summary of transactions between the Company and related parties other than Mr. Ellison:

Key Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

We generate sales directly through our sales team and, to a lesser extent, indirectly through channel partners. We sell our service to customers across a broad spectrum of industries, and we have tailored our service for wholesalers/distributors, manufacturers, retailers, services companies, software companies and other businesses, including advertising/media, publishing and non-profits. The primary target customers for our service are medium-sized businesses, divisions of large companies and enterprises. An increasing percentage of our customers and our revenue have been derived from larger businesses within this market. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we did not have any single customer that accounted for more than 3% of our revenue.

We are pursuing a number of strategies that we believe will enable us to continue to grow. The goals of those strategic objectives are to continue to move up market; to increase use of NetSuite as a platform; and to extend the verticalization of our

20

product line. Although we have made progress towards our goals in recent periods, there are still many areas where we believe that we can continue to grow. To achieve these goals, we are focused on the following initiatives:

• Growth of sales of OneWorld, our platform for ERP, CRM and Ecommerce capabilities in multi-currency environments across multiple subsidiaries and legal entities, which supports the needs of large, standalone companies, and divisions of very large enterprises;

• Continue to expand our SuiteCommerce platform to enable commerce on every device, anytime, anywhere;

• Strengthening our offerings for targeted industries such as wholesale/distribution, manufacturing, retail, high technology and professional services by adding deeper verticalized functionality; and

• Developing our SuiteCloud ecosystem to enable third parties to extend our offerings with their vertical expertise or horizontal solution.

We experience competitive pricing pressure when our products are compared with solutions that address a narrower range of customer needs or are not fully integrated (for example, when compared with Ecommerce or CRM stand-alone solutions). In addition, since we sell primarily to medium-sized businesses, we also face pricing pressure in terms of the more limited financial resources or budgetary constraints of many of our target customers. We do not currently experience significant pricing pressure from competitors that offer a similar on-demand, integrated business management suite.

We sell our application suite pursuant to subscription agreements. For the most part, the duration of subscription and support agreements is 12 to 36 months. We rely in part on a large percentage of our customers to renew their agreements to drive our revenue growth. Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions after the expiration of their subscription period.

We generally invoice our customers in advance in monthly, annual or quarterly installments, and typical payment terms provide that our clients pay us within 30 to 60 days of invoice. Amounts that have been invoiced where the customer has a legal obligation to pay are recorded in accounts receivable and deferred revenue. As of June 30, 2016, we had deferred revenue of $463.5 million.

Our subscription agreements generally provide service level commitments of 99.5% uptime per period, excluding scheduled maintenance. The failure to meet this level of service availability may require us to credit qualifying customers up to the value of an entire month of their subscription and support fees. In light of the Company’s historical experience with meeting its service level commitments, the Company's accrued liability related to such obligations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements is negligible.

As part of our overall growth, we expect the percentage of our revenue generated outside of the United States to increase as we invest in and enter new markets. Revenue by geographic region, based on the billing address of the customer, was as follows for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,						Three Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
	(dollars in thousands)
United States	$	334,638		$	254,639		$	172,158		$	133,269
International	112,711			87,458			58,613			44,011
Total revenue	$	447,349		$	342,097		$	230,771		$	177,280
Percentage of revenue generated outside of the United States	25		%	26		%	25		%	25		%

Employees

The number of full-time employees as of June 30, 2016 was 4,979 as compared to 4,603 at December 31, 2015 and 4,101 at June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, our headcount included 1,430 employees in sales and marketing; 1,991 employees in operations, professional services, training and customer support; 1,069 employees in product development; and 489 employees in a general and administrative capacity.

21

Cost of Revenue

Subscription and support cost of revenue primarily consists of costs related to hosting our application suite, providing customer support, data communications expenses, personnel and related costs of operations, stock-based compensation, software license fees, outsourced subscription services, costs associated with website development activities, allocated overhead, amortization expense associated with capitalized internal use software and acquired developed technology, and related plant and equipment depreciation and amortization expenses.

Professional services and other cost of revenue primarily consists of personnel and related costs for our professional services employees and executives, external consultants, stock-based compensation and allocated overhead.

We allocate overhead such as rent, information technology costs and employee benefit costs to all departments based on headcount. Recruiting costs are systematically allocated to the respective departments that utilize recruiting services during the period. As such, general overhead expenses are reflected in cost of revenue and each operating expense category.

We expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars over the near term; however, it could fluctuate period to period depending on the growth of our professional services business.

Operating Expenses - Product Development

Product development expenses primarily consist of personnel and related costs for our product development employees and executives, including salaries, stock-based compensation, employee benefits and allocated overhead. Our product development efforts have been devoted primarily to increasing the functionality and enhancing the ease of use of our on-demand application suite, as well as localizing our product for international use. A key component of our strategy is to expand our business internationally. This will require us to conform our application suite to comply with local regulations and languages, causing us to incur additional expenses related to translation and localization of our application for use in other countries.

We expect product development expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to extend our service offerings internationally and as we expand and enhance our application suite technologies. Such expenses may vary due to the timing of these offerings and technologies.

Operating Expenses- Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel and related costs for our sales and marketing employees and executives, including wages, benefits, bonuses, commissions and training, stock-based compensation, commissions paid to our channel partners, the cost of marketing programs such as on-line lead generation, promotional events, webinars and other meeting costs, amortization of intangible assets related to trade name and customer relationships and allocated overhead. We market and sell our application suite worldwide through our direct sales organization and indirect distribution channels such as strategic resellers. We capitalize and amortize our direct and channel sales commissions over the period the related revenue is recognized.

We expect to continue to invest in sales and marketing to pursue new customers and expand relationships with existing customers. As such, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase in terms of absolute dollars over the near term.

Operating Expenses - General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel and related costs for executive, finance, human resources and administrative personnel, stock-based compensation, legal and other professional fees, other corporate expenses and IT, facility and recruiting costs allocated to other departments.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in terms of absolute dollars over the near term.

Income Taxes

Since inception, we have incurred annual operating losses and, accordingly, have not recorded a provision for income taxes for any of the periods presented other than provisions for state and foreign income taxes.

22

Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates, and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period-to-period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application, while in other cases, significant judgment is required in selecting among available alternative accounting standards that allow different accounting treatment for similar transactions. We consider these policies requiring significant management judgment to be critical accounting policies. These critical accounting policies are:

• Revenue recognition;

• Deferred commissions;

• Accounting for stock-based compensation; and

• Other intangible assets.

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed on February 24, 2016. In addition, please see Note 2 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 24, 2016 for a description of our accounting policies.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $105.3 million, or 31%, compared to the same period in 2015.

Subscription and support revenue: Subscription and support revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $79.6 million, or 29%, compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $66.5 million increase in revenue resulting from the acquisition of new customers and a $13.1 million increase in revenue from existing customers. Subscription and support revenue increased during the period due to an increase in number of customers and continued adoption of OneWorld. Additionally, subscription and support revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 also includes $22.7 million in revenue related to Bronto, which was acquired in June 2015.

Professional services and other revenue: Professional services and other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $25.6 million, or 38%, compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $50.1 million increase in revenue resulting from the acquisition of new customers. The increase in professional services and other revenue was partially offset by a $24.5 million decrease in revenue from existing customers related to services purchased in connection with the initial implementation of our product in 2015 that did not recur for those customers in 2016. Overall, our billable professional services hours increased during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as a result of an increase in customer demand and headcount, while our average consulting rates for professional services decreased slightly. Additionally, professional services and other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 also includes $2.6 million in revenue related to Bronto, which was acquired in June 2015.

Revenue generated outside of the United States was $112.7 million, or 25%, of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $87.5 million, or 26%, for the same period in 2015. Revenue generated outside the United States increased primarily as a result of our increased presence in Europe. The revenue generated outside the United States as a percentage of total revenue decreased because our United States market presence expanded at a higher rate than outside the United States during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $44.5 million, or 40%, compared to the same period in 2015.

Subscription and support cost of revenue: Subscription and support cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $18.4 million, or 42%, compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $10.5 million increase in data center production costs, a $7.0 million increase in personnel costs, and a $0.9 million increase in IT, facility and other operating expenses. Data center and other production costs increased due to an increase in depreciation of new equipment as a result of our data center expansion, an increase in amortization of intangibles related to our business acquisitions and an increase in support costs, maintenance costs and other operational costs associated with an increase in our data center capacity and activity. Personnel costs increased due to an overall increase in headcount and an increase in incentive bonuses. IT, facility and other operating expenses related to our data center increased due to an increase in costs associated with our global expansion.

Professional services and other cost of revenue: Professional services and other cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $26.1 million, or 38%, compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $21.8 million increase in personnel costs and a $4.3 million increase in IT, facility and other operating expenses. Personnel costs increased due to an overall increase in headcount, annual merit increases and incentive bonuses. Headcount increased as a result of an increase in the demand for our professional services. IT, facility and other operating expenses related to our professional services increased due to an increase in costs associated with our global expansion.

Our gross margin decreased to 65% during the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 67% during the same period in 2015. Our gross margin decreased due to an increase in the mix of professional service business which delivers a lower gross margin than subscription revenue. Additionally, our gross margin decreased from the same period in 2015 due to an increase in data center production costs associated with an expansion of our production environment to increase capacity, and an increase in amortization of intangible assets resulting from business combinations.

24

Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

Revenue for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 increased $53.5 million, or 30%, compared to the same period in 2015.

Subscription and support revenue: Subscription and support revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $39.3 million, or 28%, compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $32.8 million increase in revenue resulting from the acquisition of new customers and a $6.5 million increase in revenue from existing customers. Subscription and support revenue increased during the period due to an increase in number of customers and continued adoption of OneWorld. Additionally, subscription and support revenue for the second quarter of 2016 also includes $11.5 million in revenue related to Bronto which was acquired in June 2015.

Professional services and other revenue: Professional services and other revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $14.2 million, or 39%, compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $26.2 million increase in revenue resulting from the acquisition of new customers. The increase in professional services and other revenue was partially offset by a $12.0 million decrease in revenue from existing customers related to services purchased in connection with the initial implementation of our product in 2015 that did not recur for those customers in 2016. Overall, our billable professional services hours increased during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as a result of an increase in customer demand and headcount, while our average consulting rates for professional services decreased slightly. Additionally, professional services and other revenue for the second quarter of 2016 also includes $1.3 million in revenue related to Bronto which was acquired in June 2015.

Revenue generated outside of the United States was $58.6 million, or 25%, of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $44.0 million, or 25%, for the same period in 2015. Revenue generated outside the United States as a percentage of total revenue remained constant because of proportional revenue growth domestically and internationally.

Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $25.0 million, or 42%, compared to the same period in 2015.

Subscription and support cost of revenue: Subscription and support cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $9.6 million, or 43%, compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $5.4 million increase in data center production costs, a $3.8 million increase in personnel costs and a $0.4 million increase in IT, facility and other operating expenses. Data center and other production costs increased due to an increase in depreciation of new equipment as a result of our data center expansion, an increase in amortization of intangibles related to our business acquisitions and an increase in support costs, maintenance costs and other operational costs associated with an increase in our data center capacity and activity. Personnel costs increased due to an overall increase in headcount and an increase in incentive bonuses. IT, facility and other operating expenses related to our data center increased due to an increase in costs associated with our global expansion.

Professional services and other cost of revenue: Professional services and other cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $15.4 million, or 42%, compared to the same period in 2015.

Personnel costs increased due to an overall increase in headcount, annual merit increases and incentive bonuses. Headcount increased as a result of an increase in the demand for our professional services. IT, facility and other operating expenses related to our professional services increased due to an increase in costs associated with our global expansion.

Our gross margin decreased to 64% during the three months ended June 30, 2016 from 67% during the same period in 2015. Our gross margin decreased due to an increase in the mix of professional service business which delivers a lower gross margin than subscription revenue. Additionally, our gross margin decreased from the same period in 2015 due to an increase in data center production costs associated with an expansion of our production environment to increase capacity, and an increase in amortization of intangible assets resulting from business combinations.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

Product development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $15.2 million, or 24%, as compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $11.5 million increase in personnel costs resulting from an overall increase in headcount, annual salary increases, payroll tax increases and an increase in stock-based compensation. The increase in personnel costs includes a $3.2 million increase in stock-based compensation resulting primarily from the issuance of annual equity awards to a larger employee base. Additionally, IT, facility and other operating expenses increased by $3.7 million due to an increase in product development operational costs and an increase in facility costs associated with our global expansion.

Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $47.9 million, or 27%, as compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $36.4 million increase in personnel costs, a $7.1 million increase in marketing, sales and other operating expenses and a $4.4 million increase in IT, facility and recruiting costs. The increase in personnel costs related primarily to increases in commission and payroll expenses resulting from higher sales and an increase in headcount. Additionally, the increase in personnel costs includes a $3.4 million increase in stock-based compensation resulting primarily from the issuance of annual equity awards and grants to new employees. Marketing and other

26

operating expenses increased because of an increase in costs associated with our annual product marketing and user conference, SuiteWorld. We also attended more trades shows, and increased our media campaigns and product branding. Sales related costs increased due to an increase in amortization expenses resulting from customer relationship and trade name intangible assets acquired through our business acquisitions. IT, facility and recruiting costs increased due to an increase in costs associated with our global expansion.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $1.4 million, or 3%, as compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $3.4 million increase in personnel costs offset by a $1.9 million decrease in other operating expenses. The increase in personnel costs resulted from an increase in headcount, incentive pay and other personnel costs. Additionally, personnel costs includes a $1.4 million increase in stock-based compensation costs resulting primarily from the issuance of annual equity awards and equity awards to new employees. Other operating expenses decreased due to $4.1 million net acquisition related costs, primarily related to Bronto, incurred in the second quarter of 2015 but not in 2016. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in finance administration costs and other operating expenses.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

Product development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $7.1 million, or 22%, as compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $5.7 million increase in personnel costs resulting from an overall increase in headcount, annual salary increases, payroll tax increases and an increase in stock-based compensation. The increase in personnel costs includes a $1.4 million increase in stock-based compensation resulting primarily from the issuance of annual equity awards to a larger employee base. Additionally, IT, facility and other operating expenses increased by $1.4 million due to an increase in product development operational costs and an increase in facility costs associated with our global expansion.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $21.5 million, or 22%, as compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $16.8 million increase in personnel costs, a $2.9 million increase in marketing, sales and other operating expenses, and a $1.8 million increase in IT, facility and recruiting costs. The increase in personnel costs related primarily to increases in commission and payroll expenses resulting from higher sales and an increase in headcount. Additionally, the increase in personnel costs includes a $2.2 million increase in stock-based compensation resulting primarily from the issuance of annual equity awards and grants to new employees. Marketing and other operating expenses increased because of an increase in costs related to our annual product marketing and user conference, SuiteWorld. We also attended more trades shows, and increased our media campaigns and product branding. Sales related costs include an increase in amortization expenses resulting from customer relationship and trade name intangible assets acquired through our business acquisitions. IT, facility and recruiting costs increased due to an increase in costs associated with our global expansion.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $2.4 million, or 9%, as compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease was primarily the result of a $3.2 million decrease in other operating expenses, offset by a $754,000 increase in personnel costs. Other operating expenses decreased due to $5.0 million in net acquisition related costs, primarily related to Bronto, incurred in the second quarter of 2015 but not in 2016. This decrease was offset by an increase in finance administration costs and other operating expenses. The increase in personnel costs resulted from an increase in headcount, incentive pay and other personnel costs.

Non-operating Items

Non-operating items, including interest income and expense, other income, net and income taxes were as follows for the periods presented:

Other income, net	307			—%	(266		)	—%
Provision/(Benefit) for income taxes	992			—%	(7,229		)	(4)%

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2016, our income tax provision increased from the same periods in the prior year. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded approximately $8.3 million of additional net deferred tax liabilities related to the Bronto acquisition.  These additional deferred tax liabilities create a new source of taxable income, thereby requiring us to release a portion of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance with a related reduction in income tax expense of approximately $8.3 million for 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2016, our primary sources of liquidity were our cash and cash equivalents totaling $317.5 million, marketable securities totaling $93.2 million and $177.1 million in accounts receivable, net of allowance.

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, cash flows from operations were $68.0 million.

A summary of our cash flow activities was as follows for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015
	(dollars in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	67,967		$	51,874
Net cash used in investing activities	(48,817		)	(115,744		)
Net cash provided by / (used in) financing activities	10,399			(5,009		)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(2,005		)	(273		)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	27,544		$	(69,152	)

Cash provided by operating activities was driven by sales of our application suite offset by costs incurred to deliver that service. The timing of our billings and collections relating to our sales and the timing of the payment of our liabilities have a significant impact on our cash flows. Cash flows from operations increased during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015, primarily as a result of an increase in collections from customers and the timing of payments to vendors, partially offset by an increase in commissions paid.

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased from the same period in 2015 primarily due to a decrease in acquisition related payments. We made net cash payments of $95.5 million in June 2015 in connection with our acquisition of Bronto compared to net cash payments of $18.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 in connection with our acquisition of a manufacturing software company ("MSC") and a professional services firm ("PFS"). Additionally, cash receipts from marketable security activity decreased $9.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in the 2015 due to the timing of investment purchases, sales and maturities. Also in 2016, capital expenditures for property and equipment increased by $1.1 million.

Cash provided by / (used in) financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased from the same period in 2015 primarily due to an increase of $7.4 million in proceeds received from employee stock plans, a $6.8 million decrease in RSUs acquired to settle employee withholding liabilities, and a decrease of $1.3 million in acquisition related payments.

28

We intend to use our cash for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions or other transactions. Further, we expect to incur additional expenses in connection with our international expansion. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents are adequate to fund those potential or anticipated activities.

While we believe that our uncommitted current working capital and anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet our cash needs for daily operations and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, we may elect to raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, obtain a credit facility or sell certain assets. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of additional debt securities, these securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock or holders of the convertible notes, and terms of any debt could impose restrictions on our operations. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders and additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. If additional financing becomes necessary and we are unable to obtain the additional funds, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned product development and marketing efforts, potentially harming our business, financial condition and operating results.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off‑balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we entered into various office space leases to expand our operations primarily in the United States and the Philippines. The corresponding lease terms for these agreements expire at various dates through 2027. We will pay a total of $8.3 million, net of any lessor lease incentives, over the corresponding lease terms for additional office space.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we entered into various office space leases to expand our operations primarily in the United Kingdom and Australia. The corresponding lease terms for these agreements expire at various dates through 2024. We will pay a total of $10.2 million, net of any lessor lease incentives, over the corresponding lease terms for additional office space.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We had cash and cash equivalents of $317.5 million and marketable securities of $93.2 million as of June 30, 2016. These amounts were held primarily in money market funds, commercial paper and US government securities.

Cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes, marketable securities are held as short-term investments and restricted cash amounts are held as security against various lease obligations. Due to the short‑term nature of these investments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates.

Market Risk

In June 2013, we issued at par value $310.0 million of 0.25% convertible senior notes due June 1, 2018. The Notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 0.25% and we, therefore, do not have economic interest rate exposure on the Notes. However, the value of the Notes is exposed to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair value of the Notes will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. These Notes are also affected by volatility in our common stock price. As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of the Notes was $305.1 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the British Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar, Philippine Peso, Uruguayan Peso, Thai Baht and the Czech Crown. Our revenue is generally denominated in the local currency of the contracting party. The majority of our invoicing relates to sales occurring in the United States and therefore is denominated in U.S. dollars. A certain percentage of sales are denominated in foreign currencies including, but not limited to, the local currencies of Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada. Our expenses are incurred primarily in the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Australia and the United Kingdom, with a small portion of expenses incurred in other countries where our international sales, development and operations offices are located. Our results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2016, the U.S. dollar strengthened by 4.7% and 4.0%, respectively, against the foreign currencies in which our operational expenses are denominated when compared to the same period in the prior year. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2016, the fluctuation in foreign currency rates reduced our net losses by approximately $2.3 million and $637,000, respectively.

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2016, we continued a hedging program to limit the exposure of foreign currency risk resulting from the revaluation of foreign denominated assets and liabilities through the use of forward exchange contracts. See “Balance Sheet Hedging - Hedging of Foreign Currency Assets and Liabilities” in Note 3 (Financial Instruments) under the heading “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” of Part 1, Item 1, “Financial Statements” herein for further disclosures.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We do not have material exposure to market risk with respect to investments, as our investments consist primarily of highly liquid investments with various maturity dates over the next 12 months. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. However, this does not preclude our adoption of specific hedging strategies in the future.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed by management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), with respect to the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016 (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d - 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of June 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

31

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal proceedings and receive claims from time to time, arising from the normal course of business activities. We have accrued for estimated losses in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for matters with respect to which we believe the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

A description of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business is set forth below. This description includes any material changes to and supersedes the description of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 filed on February 24, 2016. You should carefully consider such risks and uncertainties, together with the other information contained in this report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and in our other public filings. If any of such risks and uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could differ materially from the plans, projections and other forward-looking statements included in the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this report and in our other public filings. In addition, if any of the following risks and uncertainties, or if any other risks and uncertainties, actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be harmed substantially, which could cause the market price of our stock to decline, perhaps significantly.

Risks Related to Our Business

The announcement and pendency of our agreement to be acquired by entities affiliated with Oracle Corporation could adversely affect our business.

On July 28, 2016, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement for entities affiliated with Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”) to acquire us. Uncertainty about the effect of the proposed transaction on our customers, employees, partners and other parties may adversely affect our business. Our employees may experience uncertainty about their roles or seniority following the transaction. There can be no assurance that our employees, including key personnel, can be retained to the same extent that we have previously been able to attract and retain employees. Any loss or distraction of such employees could adversely affect our business and operations. In addition, we have diverted, and will continue to divert, significant management resources toward the completion of the transaction, which could adversely affect our business and operations. Parties with which we do business may experience uncertainty associated with the transaction and related transactions, including with respect to current or future business relationships with us. Uncertainty may cause clients to refrain from doing business with us, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The failure to complete the sale to entities affiliated with Oracle could adversely affect our business.

Completion of the sale to entities affiliated with Oracle is subject to several conditions beyond our control that may prevent, delay, or otherwise adversely affect its completion, The consummation of the transaction is conditioned on there having been validly tendered and not withdrawn: (1) a number of shares of common stock that, together with any shares of common stock owned by Oracle and certain of its affiliates, represents a majority of the shares of common stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis in accordance with the definitive agreement); and (2) a number of shares common stock (excluding, in such number, shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by: (i) NetSuite Restricted Holdings LLC, Lawrence J. Ellison, David Ellison and Margaret Ellison (and their respective affiliates who beneficially own shares of Common Stock) (collectively, the “LJE Parties”); (ii) Oracle and certain of its affiliates; and (iii) any executive officers or directors of the Company and their affiliates (the persons and entities referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Specified Persons”)) that represents a majority of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the acceptance time (excluding, from such issued and outstanding shares, shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Specified Persons). The consummation of the transaction is also conditioned on (1) receipt of certain regulatory approvals, including expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and certain foreign antitrust laws; (2) the accuracy of the representations and warranties and compliance with the covenants contained in the definitive agreement, subject to qualifications; and (3) other customary conditions. Many of the conditions to consummation of the transaction are not within our control or the control of Oracle and none of us can predict when or if these conditions will be satisfied. If any of these conditions are not satisfied or waived, it is possible that the transaction will not be consummated in the expected time frame or that the definitive agreement may be terminated. If the proposed sale or a similar transaction is not completed, the share price

32

of our common stock will drop to the extent that the current market price of our common stock reflects an assumption that a transaction will be completed. In addition, under circumstances defined in the definitive agreement, we may be required to pay a termination fee of $300 million to Oracle. Further, a failed transaction may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us in the investment community. Finally, any disruption to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the transaction and from intensifying competition from our competitors, including any adverse changes in our relationships with our clients, employees, partners and other parties, could continue or accelerate in the event of a failed transaction. There can be no assurance that our business, these relationships or our financial condition will not be adversely affected, as compared to the condition prior to the announcement of the transaction, if the transaction is not consummated.

While the acquisition by Oracle is pending, we are subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions that could harm our operations and the future of our business or result in a loss of employees.

The definitive agreement for the acquisition by Oracle includes restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to the completion of the transaction, generally requiring us to conduct our businesses in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice, and subjecting us to a variety of specified limitations unless we obtain Oracle’s prior written consent. We may find that these and other contractual arrangements in the definitive agreement may delay. prevent or limit us from responding effectively to competitive pressures, industry developments and future business opportunities that may arise during such period, even if our management and board of directors think that they may be advisable. The pendency of the transaction may also divert management’s attention and our resources from ongoing business and operations. Our customers, employees, partners and other parties may have uncertainties about the effects of the transaction. In connection with the pending transaction, it is possible that some customers and other persons with whom we have a business relationship may delay or defer certain business decisions or might decide to seek to terminate, change or renegotiate their relationship with us as a result of the transaction. Similarly, current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with us following completion of the transaction, which may harm our ability to attract and retain key employees. If any of these effects were to occur, it could materially and adversely impact our revenue, earnings and cash flows and other business results and financial condition, as well as the market price of our common stock and our perceived acquisition value, regardless of whether the transaction is completed. In addition, whether or not the transaction is completed, while it is pending we will continue to incur costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the proposed transaction, which may materially and adversely affect our business results and financial condition.

Continued adverse economic conditions or reduced investments in cloud-based applications and information technology spending may harm our business.

Our business depends on the overall demand for cloud-based applications and information technology spending and on the economic health and general willingness of our current and prospective customers to make capital commitments. If the conditions in the U.S. and global economic environment remain uncertain or continue to be volatile, or if they deteriorate further, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. Continued weak or volatile economic conditions, or a reduction in spending for cloud-based applications and information technology even if economic conditions improve, would likely harm our business and operating results in a number of ways, including longer sales cycles, extended payment terms, lower prices for our products and services, reduced sales, and lower customer retention rates.

We have a history of losses, and we may not achieve profitability in the future.

We have not been profitable on a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis during any quarterly or annual period since our formation. We experienced a net loss of $67.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. As of that date, our accumulated deficit was $741.4 million. We expect to make significant future expenditures related to the development and expansion of our business. As a result of these increased expenditures, we will have to generate and sustain increased revenue to achieve and maintain future profitability. While historically our revenue has grown, this growth may not be sustainable and we may not achieve sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including due to the other risks described in this Quarterly Report, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown factors. Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability and we may continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.

Many of our customers are small- and medium‑sized businesses and divisions of large companies, which may result in increased costs as we attempt to reach, acquire and retain customers.

We market and sell our application suite to small- and medium-sized businesses and divisions of large companies. To grow our revenue quickly, we must add new customers, sell additional services to existing customers and encourage existing

33

customers to renew their subscriptions. However, selling to and retaining small- and medium-sized businesses can be more difficult than selling to and retaining large enterprises because small- and medium-sized business customers:

•are more price sensitive;

•are more difficult to reach with broad marketing campaigns;

•have high churn rates in part because of the nature of their businesses;

•often lack the staffing to benefit fully from our application suite’s rich feature set; and

•often require higher sales, marketing and support expenditures by vendors that sell to them per revenue dollar generated for those vendors.

If we are unable to cost‑effectively market and sell our service to our target customers, our ability to grow our revenue and become profitable will be harmed.

Our business depends substantially on customers renewing, upgrading and expanding their subscriptions for our services. Any decline in our customer renewals, upgrades and expansions would harm our future operating results.

We sell our application suite pursuant to service agreements that are generally one year in length. Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions after their subscription period expires, and they may not renew their subscriptions at the same or higher levels. Moreover, under specific circumstances, our customers have the right to cancel their service agreements before they expire. In addition, in the first year of a subscription, customers often purchase a higher level of professional services than they do in renewal years. As a result, our ability to grow is dependent in part on customers purchasing additional subscriptions and modules after the first year of their subscriptions. We may not accurately predict future trends in customer renewals. Our customers’ renewal rates may decline or fluctuate because of several factors, including their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with our services, the prices of our services, the prices of services offered by our competitors or reductions in our customers’ spending levels due to the macroeconomic environment or other factors. If our customers do not renew their subscriptions for our services, renew on less favorable terms, or do not purchase additional functionality or subscriptions, our revenue may grow more slowly than expected or decline and our profitability and gross margin may be harmed.

Any disruption of service at our data centers could interrupt or delay our ability to deliver our service to our customers.

We host our services, serve our customers and support our operations primarily from California-based data centers, which we operate in conjunction with CenturyLink. However, we host our NetSuite OpenAir applications from a Massachusetts-based data center, which we also operate in conjunction with CenturyLink. We also operate some customer and partner accounts along with Release Preview and trial accounts from a Massachusetts-based data center, which we operate in conjunction with CenturyLink. In 2015, we added a data center facility located in Washington, which we also operate in conjunction with CenturyLink. The Bronto applications are hosted at data center that we operate in conjunction with TierPoint. The OrderMotion applications are hosted from a Texas-based data center which we operate in conjunction with RackSpace. The LightCMS applications are hosted from a data center which we operate in conjunction with CenturyLink. The Tribe HR applications are hosted from a Canada-based data center which we operate in conjunction with VM Farms. We do not have sole control over the operations of these facilities. These facilities are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, cyber security attacks, terrorist attacks, power losses, telecommunications failures and similar events. The occurrence of a natural disaster or an act of terrorism, a decision to close the facilities without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in our services. As part of our current disaster recovery arrangements, the California data center serves as back-up for Massachusetts and Washington; while the Massachusetts data center serves as backup for California. In particular, our California-based data facilities are located in an area known for seismic activity, increasing our susceptibility to the risk that an earthquake could significantly harm the operations of these facilities. Likewise, facilities operated on the East coast of the United States are susceptible to hurricanes, winter storms and other regionally disruptive events. The facilities also could be subject to break-ins, computer viruses, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and other misconduct. In October 2015, we announced the opening of two European data center deployments in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Dublin, Ireland which are both operated in conjunction with Equinix. For purposes of disaster recovery, the Netherlands and Ireland locations serve as back-up for one another.

Our data center facilities providers have no obligations to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to renew our agreements with the facilities providers on commercially reasonable terms, if our agreements with our facility providers are prematurely terminated, or if in the future we add additional data center facility providers, we may experience costs or downtime in connection with the transfer to, or the addition of, new data center facilities.

34

Any errors, defects, disruptions or other performance problems with our services could harm our reputation and may damage our customers’ businesses. Interruptions in our services might reduce our revenue, cause us to issue credits to customers, subject us to potential liability, cause customers to terminate their subscriptions and harm our renewal rates.

We may become liable to our customers and lose customers if we have defects or disruptions in our service or if we provide poor service.

Because we deliver our application suite as a service, errors or defects in the software applications underlying our service, or a failure of our hosting infrastructure, may make our service unavailable to our customers. We are also reliant on third-party software and infrastructure, including the infrastructure of the Internet, to provide our services. Any failure of or disruption to this software and infrastructure could also make our service unavailable to our customers. Since our customers use our suite to manage critical aspects of their business, any errors, defects, disruptions in service or other performance problems with our suite, whether in connection with the day‑to‑day operation of our suite, upgrades or otherwise, could damage our customers’ businesses. If we have any errors, defects, disruptions in service or other performance problems with our suite, customers could elect not to renew, or delay or withhold payment to us, we could lose future sales or customers may make warranty claims against us, which could result in an increase in our provision for doubtful accounts, an increase in collection cycles for accounts receivable or costly litigation.

The market for cloud-based applications may develop more slowly than we expect.

Our success will depend, to a large extent, on the willingness of medium-sized businesses to accept cloud-based services for applications that they view as critical to the success of their business. Many companies have invested substantial effort and financial resources to integrate traditional enterprise software into their businesses and may be reluctant or unwilling to switch to a different application or to migrate these applications to cloud-based services. Other factors that may affect market acceptance of our application include:

• the security capabilities, reliability and availability of cloud-based services;

• customer concerns with entrusting a third party to store and manage their data, especially confidential or sensitive data;

• our ability to minimize the time and resources required to implement our suite;

• our ability to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction;

• our ability to implement upgrades and other changes to our software without disrupting our service;

• the level of customization or configuration we offer;

• our ability to provide rapid response time during periods of intense activity on customer websites; and

• the price, performance and availability of competing products and services.

The market for these services may not develop further, or may develop more slowly than we expect, either of which would harm our business.

If our security measures are breached and unauthorized access is obtained to a customer’s data, we may incur significant liabilities, our service may be perceived as not being secure and customers may curtail or stop using our suite.

The services we offer involve the storage of large amounts of our customers’ sensitive and proprietary information. If our security measures are breached as a result of third‑party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, and someone disrupts the confidentiality, integrity, or availability our customers’ data, we could incur significant liability to our customers and to individuals or businesses whose information was being stored by our customers, our business may suffer and our reputation will be damaged. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to, or to sabotage, systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed and we could lose sales and customers. Such an actual or perceived breach could also cause a significant and rapid decline in our stock price and the value of our convertible senior notes (the “Notes”).

We provide service-level commitments to our customers, which could cause us to issue credits for future services if the stated service levels are not met for a given period and could significantly harm our revenue.

Our customer agreements provide service-level commitments. If we are unable to meet the stated service-level commitments or suffer extended periods of unavailability for our service, we may be contractually obligated to provide these customers with credits for future services. Our revenue could be significantly impacted if we suffer unscheduled downtime that

35

exceeds the allowed downtimes under our agreements with our customers. In light of our historical experience with meeting our service level commitments, our accrued liability related to such obligations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements is negligible. Our service-level commitment to customers is generally 99.5% uptime per period, excluding scheduled maintenance. The failure to meet this level of service availability may require us to credit qualifying customers for the value of an entire month of their subscription fees, not just the value of the subscription fee for the period of the downtime. As a result, a failure to deliver services for a relatively short duration could cause us to issue these credits to all qualifying customers. Any extended service outages could harm our reputation, revenue and operating results.

Assertions by a third party that we infringe its intellectual property, whether successful or not, could subject us to costly and time‑consuming litigation or expensive licenses.

The software and technology industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and by frequent and an increasing amount of litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. We have from time to time received claims from third parties alleging we are infringing their intellectual property, and as we continue to grow, the possibility of these and other intellectual property rights claims against us may increase. Our technologies or technologies that we license may not be able to withstand any third‑party claims that they infringe or otherwise violate intellectual property rights. Furthermore, many of our service agreements require us to indemnify our customers for certain third‑party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase our costs as a result of defending such claims and may require that we pay damages if there were an adverse ruling related to any such claims. These types of claims could harm our relationships with our customers, may deter future customers from subscribing to our services or could expose us to litigation for these claims. Even if we are not a party to any litigation between a customer and a third party, an adverse outcome in any such litigation could make it more difficult for us to defend our intellectual property in any subsequent litigation in which we are a named party.

Any intellectual property rights claim against us or our customers, with or without merit, could be time‑consuming, expensive to litigate or settle and could divert management attention and financial resources. An adverse determination also could prevent us from offering our suite to our customers and may require that we procure or develop substitute services that do not infringe.

For any intellectual property rights claim against us or our customers, we may have to pay damages, license fees and/or stop using technology found to be in violation of a third party’s rights. We may have to seek a license for the technology. Such license may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all, and may significantly increase our operating expenses or may require us to restrict our business activities and limit our ability to deliver certain products and services. As a result, we may also be required to develop alternative non‑infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense and/or cause us to alter our product and service offerings which could negatively affect our business.

Our success depends in large part on our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights.

We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, service mark, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions, to establish and protect our proprietary rights, all of which provide only limited protection. We have numerous issued US patents and pending US patent applications. We cannot assure you that any patents will issue from our currently pending patent applications in a manner that gives us the protection that we seek, if at all, or that any of our current patents or future patents issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Any of our current patents or patents that may issue in the future from pending or future patent applications may not provide sufficiently broad protection or they may not prove to be enforceable in actions against alleged infringers. Additionally, although we have licensed from other parties proprietary technology covered by patents, we cannot be certain that any such patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Also, we cannot assure you that any future service mark or trademark registrations will be issued for pending or future applications or that any registered service marks or trademarks will be enforceable or provide adequate protection of our proprietary rights.

We endeavor to enter into agreements with our employees and contractors and agreements with parties with whom we do business to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information. The steps we have taken, however, may not prevent unauthorized use or the reverse engineering of our technology. Moreover, others may independently develop technologies that are competitive to ours or infringe our intellectual property. Enforcement of our intellectual property rights also depends on our successful legal actions against these infringers, but these actions may not be successful, even when our rights have been infringed.

36

Furthermore, effective patent, trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our services are available. In addition, the legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights in Internet‑related industries are uncertain and still evolving.

Our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate in the future. As a result, we may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of research analysts or investors, which could cause our stock price to decline.

Our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. A decline in general macroeconomic conditions could adversely affect our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase our application suite, which could adversely affect our operating results or financial outlook. Fluctuations in our quarterly operating annual results or financial outlook may also be due to a number of additional factors, including the risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this report.

Fluctuations in our operating results could cause our stock price to decline rapidly, may lead analysts to change their long‑term model for valuing our common stock, may impact our ability to retain or attract key personnel, or may cause other unanticipated issues. If our operating results or financial outlook fall below the expectations of research analysts or investors, the price of our common stock and the market value of the Notes could decline substantially.

We believe that our revenue and operating results may vary significantly in the future and that period‑to‑period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. You should not rely on the results of one quarter as an indication of future performance.

We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries.

Our company has been in existence since 1998, and much of our growth has occurred since 2004, with our revenue increasing from $17.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2004 to $741.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2015. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries. If we do not address these risks successfully, our business may be harmed.

The markets in which we compete are intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results may be harmed.

The markets for financials/ERP, CRM, ecommerce, PSA and HCM applications are intensely competitive and rapidly changing with relatively low barriers to entry. With the introduction of new technologies and market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. In addition, pricing pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales, reduced margins or the failure of our service to achieve or maintain more widespread market acceptance. Often we compete to sell our application suite against existing systems that our potential customers have already made significant expenditures to install. Competition in our market is based principally upon service breadth and functionality; service performance, security and reliability; ability to tailor and customize services for a specific company, vertical or industry; ease of use of the service; speed and ease of deployment, integration and configuration; total cost of ownership, including price and implementation and support costs; professional services implementation; and financial resources of the vendor.

We face competition from both traditional software vendors and SaaS providers. Our principal competitors include Epicor Software Corporation, Intuit Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation, SAP, The Sage Group plc and salesforce.com, inc. Many of our actual and potential competitors enjoy substantial competitive advantages over us, such as greater name recognition, longer operating histories, more varied products and services and larger marketing budgets, as well as substantially greater financial, technical and other resources. In addition, many of our competitors have established marketing relationships and access to larger customer bases, and have major distribution agreements with consultants, system integrators and resellers. If we are not able to compete effectively, our operating results will be harmed.

Our brand name and our business may be harmed by aggressive marketing strategies of our competitors.

Because of the early stage of development of our markets, we believe that building and maintaining brand recognition and customer goodwill is critical to our success. Our efforts in this area have, on occasion, been complicated by the marketing efforts of our competitors, which may include incomplete, inaccurate and false statements about our company and our services that could harm our business. Our ability to respond to our competitors’ misleading marketing efforts may be limited under certain circumstances by legal prohibitions on permissible public communications by us as a public company.

37

If the prices we charge for our services are unacceptable to our customers, our operating results will be harmed.

As the market for our services matures, or as new competitors introduce new products or services that compete with ours, we may be unable to renew our agreements with existing customers or attract new customers at the same price or based on the same pricing model as previously used. As a result, it is possible that competitive dynamics in our market may require us to change our pricing model or reduce our prices, which could harm our revenue, gross margin and operating results.

If we are unable to develop new services or sell our services into new markets, our revenue growth will be harmed and we may not be able to achieve profitability.

Our ability to attract new customers and increase revenue from existing customers will depend in large part on our ability to enhance and improve our existing application suite and to introduce new services and sell into new markets. The success of any enhancement or new service depends on several factors, including the timely completion, introduction and market acceptance of the enhancement or service. Any new service we develop or acquire may not be introduced in a timely or cost‑effective manner and may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. Any new markets into which we attempt to sell our application, including new vertical markets and new countries or regions, may not be receptive. If we are unable to successfully develop or acquire new services, enhance our existing services to meet customer requirements or sell our services into new markets, our revenue will not grow as expected and we may not be able to achieve profitability.

Because we are a global organization and our long‑term success depends, in part, on our ability to expand our sales and operations outside of the United States, our business is susceptible to risks associated with international sales and operations.

We currently maintain offices outside of the United States and have sales personnel or independent consultants in several countries. Approximately one quarter of our employees are located in an office in the Philippines. We have limited experience operating in foreign jurisdictions and are rapidly building our international operations. Managing a global organization is difficult, time consuming and expensive. Our inexperience in operating our business outside of the United States increases the risk that any international expansion efforts that we may undertake will not be successful. In addition, conducting international operations subjects us to new risks that we have not generally faced in the United States. These risks include:

• localization of our services, including translation into foreign languages and adaptation for local practices and regulatory requirements;

• lack of familiarity with and unexpected changes in foreign regulatory requirements;

• longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;

• difficulties in managing and staffing international operations;

• fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

• potentially adverse tax consequences, including the complexities of foreign value added tax systems and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings;

• dependence on certain third parties, including channel partners with whom we do not have extensive experience;

• the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and legal standards;

• increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;

• political, social and economic instability abroad, terrorist attacks and security concerns in general; and

• reduced or varied protection for intellectual property rights in some countries.

During the second quarter of 2016, the United Kingdom held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union, commonly referred to as "Brexit." The exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union, could affect our sales in the UK, as the uncertainty caused by the vote and the uncertain future course of negotiations between the EU and the UK could negatively impact the economies of the UK and other nations.

Operating in international markets also requires significant management attention and financial resources. The investment and additional resources required to establish operations and manage growth in other countries may not produce desired levels of revenue or profitability.

We rely on third‑party software, including Oracle database software, which may be difficult to replace or could cause errors or failures of our service that could lead to lost customers or harm to our reputation.

38

We rely on software licensed from third parties to offer our service, including database software from Oracle. This software may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any of this software could result in delays in the provisioning of our service until equivalent technology is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained and integrated, which could harm our business. Any errors or defects in third‑party software could result in errors or a failure of our service which could harm our business.

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired and investors’ views of us could be harmed.

Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time‑consuming effort that needs to be re‑evaluated frequently. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Although we have completed the process of documenting, reviewing and improving our internal controls and procedures for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act of 2002, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, there can be no assurances that control deficiencies will not be identified in the future.

Implementing any additional required changes to our internal controls may distract our officers and employees, entail substantial costs to modify our existing processes and add personnel and take significant time to complete. These changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal controls. Any failure to maintain that adequacy, or as consequent inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, could increase our operating costs and harm our business. In addition, investors’ perceptions that our internal controls are inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis may harm our stock price and make it more difficult for us to effectively market and sell our service to new and existing customers.

Our business is subject to changing regulations regarding corporate governance and public disclosure that will increase both our costs and the risk of noncompliance.

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses associated with compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations and listing requirements. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and The New York Stock Exchange, have imposed a variety of compliance requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. In addition, the SEC and the U.S. Congress may continue to increase the scope of applicable disclosure and corporate governance-related rules. Our management and other personnel may need to devote a substantial amount of time to the compliance requirements associated with being a public company. Moreover, these laws, rules and regulations have increased and may continue to increase the scope, complexity and cost of our corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices.

Because we recognize subscription revenue over the term of the applicable agreement, the lack of subscription renewals or new service agreements may not be reflected immediately in our operating results.

The majority of our quarterly revenue is attributable to service agreements entered into during previous quarters. A decline in new or renewed service agreements in any one quarter will not be fully reflected in our revenue in that quarter but will harm our revenue in future quarters. As a result, the effect of significant downturns in sales and market acceptance of our services in a particular quarter may not be fully reflected in our operating results until future periods. Our subscription model also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue through additional sales in any period, because revenue from new customers must be recognized over the applicable subscription term.

Material defects or errors in the software we use to deliver our services could harm our reputation, result in significant costs to us and impair our ability to sell our services.

The software applications underlying our services are inherently complex and may contain material defects or errors, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. We have from time to time found defects in our service, and new errors in our existing service may be detected in the future. Any defects that cause interruptions to the availability of our services could result in:

•a reduction in sales or delay in market acceptance of our services;

39

•sales credits or refunds to our customers;

•loss of existing customers and difficulty in attracting new customers;

•diversion of development resources;

•harm to our reputation; and

•increased warranty and insurance costs.

After the release of our services, defects or errors may also be identified from time to time by our internal team and by our customers. The costs incurred in correcting any material defects or errors in our services may be substantial and could harm our operating results.

Government regulation of the Internet and ecommerce is evolving, and unfavorable changes or our failure to comply with regulations could harm our operating results.

As Internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by federal, state or foreign agencies becomes more likely. For example, we believe increased regulation is likely in the area of data privacy, and laws and regulations applying to the solicitation, collection, processing or use of personal or consumer information could affect our customers’ ability to use and share data, potentially reducing demand for financials/ERP, CRM, PSA and ecommerce solutions and restricting our ability to store, process and share our customers’ data. In addition, taxation of services provided over the Internet or other charges imposed by government agencies or by private organizations for accessing the Internet may also be imposed. Any regulation imposing greater fees for Internet use or restricting information exchanged over the Internet could result in a decline in the use of the Internet and the viability of Internet‑based services, harming our business and operating results.

Privacy concerns and laws or other domestic or foreign regulations may reduce the effectiveness of our application suite and harm our business.

Our customers can use our service to store personal or identifying information regarding their customers and contacts.  Federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies, however, have adopted or are considering adopting laws and regulations regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information obtained from consumers and other individuals.  The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, such laws and regulations that are applicable to the businesses of our customers may limit the use and adoption of our service and reduce overall demand for it.

In addition to government activity, privacy advocacy groups and the technology and other industries are considering various new, additional or different self‑regulatory standards that may place additional burdens on us.  If the gathering of personal information were to be curtailed, financials/ERP, CRM, ecommerce, PSA and HCM solutions would be less effective, likely reducing demand for our service and harming our business.

In the past our customers have relied on NetSuite’s adherence to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Safe Harbor Privacy Principles and compliance with the U.S.-EU and U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Frameworks as agreed to and set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the European Commission  and Switzerland, which established a means for companies operating in Europe to transfer personally identifiable information, or PII, in compliance with the European Commission’s Directive on Data Protection (the “Directive”) and Swiss data protection laws from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to the U.S. As a result of the October 6, 2015 European Union Court of Justice (the “ECJ”), opinion in Case C-362/14 (Schrems v. Data Protection Commissioner) regarding the adequacy of the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework, the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework is no longer deemed to be a valid method of compliance with restrictions set forth in the Directive (and member states’ implementations thereof) regarding the transfer of data outside of the EEA. In light of the ECJ opinion, we are offering other methods to our customers to enable compliant data transfers from the EEA to the U.S.

We may be unsuccessful in establishing a means for the transfer of data from the EEA that is acceptable to our customers. In addition, data protection regulation is an area of increased focus and changing requirements. Data protection 42 Table of Contents regulations are currently being reviewed and are expected to change in the future. There is no assurance that we will be able to meet new requirements that may be imposed on the transfer of PII from the EU to the US without incurring substantial expense or at all. We may experience reluctance or refusal by European or multi-national customers to purchase or continue to use our services due to concerns regarding their data protection obligations. In addition, we may be subject to claims, legal proceedings or other actions by individuals or governmental authorities based on data protection regulations and our commitments to customers or others. We may find it necessary to establish additional systems to maintain EU-origin data in the EEA, which may involve substantial expense and distraction from other aspects of our business.

We publicly post our privacy policies and practices concerning our processing, use and disclosure of PII provided by our website visitors. Our publication of our privacy policy and other statements we publish that provide promises and

40

assurances about privacy and security can subject us to potential state and federal action if they are found to be deceptive or misrepresentative of our practices.

If benefits currently available under the Czech Republic government subsidy program are reduced or disallowed, our operational costs could increase.

At our product development facility in the Czech Republic, we participated in a government subsidy program for employing local residents. Under the program, the Czech Republic government would reimburse us for certain operating expenses we incur. The reimbursements were based upon qualifying product development expenditures which are primarily salaries for persons conducting product development activities. In the second quarter of 2015, we reached the program's reimbursement limit. As of June 30, 2016, no reimbursements were due from the Czech government. The Czech Republic government determined if we met the program requirements and whether our expenses are reimbursable. If the Czech Republic government determines that our expenses are ineligible for reimbursement, our financial condition and operating results may be harmed.

Changes in financial accounting standards or practices may cause adverse, unexpected financial reporting fluctuations and harm our operating results.

A change in accounting standards or practices could harm our operating results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may harm our operating results or the way we conduct our business.

Unanticipated changes in our effective tax rate could harm our future operating results.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions, and our domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of expenses in differing jurisdictions. Our tax rate is affected by changes in the mix of earnings and losses in countries with differing statutory tax rates, certain non‑deductible expenses arising from the requirement to expense stock options and the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, including our ability to utilize our net operating losses. Increases in our effective tax rate could harm our operating results.

We may be unable to integrate acquired businesses and technologies successfully or to achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions. We may acquire or invest in additional companies, which may divert our management’s attention, result in additional dilution to our stockholders and consume resources that are necessary to sustain our business.

We have undertaken acquisitions in the past and may continue to evaluate and consider potential strategic transactions, including acquisitions and dispositions of businesses, technologies, services, products and other assets in the future. An acquisition, investment or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties assimilating or integrating the businesses, technologies, products, personnel or operations of the acquired companies, particularly if the key personnel of the acquired company choose not to work for us, the company's software is not easily adapted to work with ours or we have difficulty retaining the customers of any acquired business due to changes in management or otherwise. Acquisitions may also disrupt our business, divert our resources and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for development of our business. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment or business relationship may not be realized or we may be exposed to unknown liabilities.

We may in the future seek to acquire or invest in additional businesses, products, technologies or other assets. We also may enter into relationships with other businesses to expand our service offerings or our ability to provide service in foreign jurisdictions, which could involve preferred or exclusive licenses, additional channels of distribution, discount pricing or investments in other companies. Negotiating these transactions can be time‑consuming, difficult and expensive, and our ability to close these transactions may often be subject to approvals that are beyond our control. Consequently, these transactions, even if undertaken and announced, may not close. For one or more of those transactions, we may:

•issue additional equity securities that would dilute our stockholders;

•use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business;

•incur debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to repay;

•incur large charges or substantial liabilities;

• encounter difficulties retaining key employees of the acquired company or integrating diverse software codes or business cultures; and

•become subject to adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation or deferred compensation charges.

41

Any of these risks could harm our business and operating results.

We rely on our management team and need additional personnel to grow our business, and the loss of one or more key employees or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could harm our business.

Our success and future growth depends to a significant degree on the skills and continued services of our management team. We do not maintain key man insurance on any members of our management team. Meeting our growth plan and our future success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, sales, marketing and service and support personnel, including members of our management team. Competition for sales, marketing and technology development personnel is particularly intense in the software and technology industries. As a result, we may be unable to successfully attract or retain qualified personnel. Our inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could harm our business.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock and the Notes

Lawrence J. Ellison or members of his family, and related entities, beneficially own a significant portion of our outstanding shares of common stock, which may limit your ability to influence or control certain of our corporate actions. This concentration of ownership may also reduce the market price of our common stock and the value of the Notes and may have impaired a takeover attempt of us by a third party.

Entities beneficially owned by Lawrence J. Ellison held an aggregate of approximately 39.5% of our common stock as of June 30, 2016. Further, Mr. Ellison, his family members, trusts for their benefit, and related entities together beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 45.1% of our common stock as of that date. Mr. Ellison is able to exercise control over approval of significant corporate transactions, including a change of control or liquidation. In addition, if the voting restrictions that apply to NetSuite Restricted Holdings LLC, the investment entity to which Mr. Ellison has transferred his shares, lapse or are amended, Mr. Ellison will be able to exercise control over additional corporate matters, including elections of our directors. So long as Mr. Ellison continues to be either an officer or director of Oracle, these voting restrictions cannot be changed without the approval of an independent committee of Oracle’s board of directors. Mr. Ellison’s interests and investment objectives may differ from our other stockholders. Mr. Ellison is also the Chief Technology Officer, a principal stockholder and Executive Chairman of the Board of Oracle Corporation. Oracle supplies us with database and other software on which we rely to provide our service and is also a potential competitor of ours.

Our board of directors adopted resolutions which renounce and provide for a waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine as it relates to Mr. Ellison. As a result, Mr. Ellison has no fiduciary duty to present corporate opportunities to us. In addition, Mr. Ellison’s significant interest in us could discourage other potential acquirers or result in a delay or prevention of a change in control of our company or other significant corporate transactions, even if a transaction of that sort would be beneficial to our other stockholders or in our best interest and, as a result, reduce the market price of our common stock and the value of the Notes.

Volatility in the market price and trading volume of our common stock and the Notes could adversely impact the trading price of our common stock and the Notes.

The stock market in recent years has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of companies. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including in response to the risks described in this section, elsewhere in this report or for reasons unrelated to our operations, such as reports by industry analysts, investor perceptions or negative announcements by our customers, competitors or suppliers regarding their own performance, as well as industry conditions and general financial, economic and political instability. A decrease in the market price of our common stock would likely adversely impact the trading price of the Notes. The market price of our common stock could also be affected by possible sales of our common stock by investors who view the Notes as a more attractive means of equity participation in us and by hedging or arbitrage trading activity that we expect to develop involving our common stock. This trading activity could, in turn, affect the trading prices of our common stock and the Notes.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the Notes or to repurchase the Notes upon a fundamental change, which may affect the trading price of our common stock, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to repurchase the Notes.

Holders of the Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase their Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, upon

42

conversion of the Notes, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the Notes being converted. However, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of Notes surrendered therefor or Notes being converted, which could harm our reputation and affect the trading price of our common stock.

In addition, our ability to repurchase the Notes may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the indenture would constitute a default under the indenture and could harm our reputation and affect the trading price of our common stock. A default under the indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our future indebtedness. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase the Notes.

The conditional conversion feature of the Notes, if triggered, may harm our financial condition and operating results.

In the event the conditional conversion feature of the Notes is triggered, holders of Notes will be entitled to convert the Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their Notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.

The accounting method for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash, such as the Notes, could have a material effect on our reported financial results.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board, which we refer to as FASB, issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), which has subsequently been codified as Accounting Standards Codification 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which we refer to as ASC 470-20. Under ASC 470-20, an entity must separately account for the liability and equity components of the convertible debt instruments (such as the Notes) that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion in a manner that reflects the issuer's economic interest cost. The effect of ASC 470-20 on the accounting for the Notes is that the equity component is required to be included in the additional paid-in capital section of stockholders' equity on our consolidated balance sheet, and the value of the equity component would be treated as original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the Notes. As a result, we will be required to record a greater amount of non-cash interest expense in current periods presented as a result of the amortization of the discounted carrying value of the Notes to their face amount over the term of the Notes. We will report lower net income in our financial results because ASC 470-20 will require interest to include both the current period's amortization of the debt discount and the instrument's coupon interest, which could adversely affect our reported or future financial results, the trading price of our common stock and the trading price of the Notes.

In addition, under certain circumstances, we may apply the treasury stock method with respect to the Notes, the effect of which is that only the number of shares of common stock that would be necessary to settle the conversion spread, if any, are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. If we are unable to use the treasury stock method, then we would assume issuance of the number of shares of common stock that would be necessary to settle both the principal balance of the Notes and the conversion spread, if any, and our diluted earnings per share would be harmed.

Future sales of shares by existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline and adversely impact the trading price of the Notes.

If our existing stockholders sell or otherwise dispose of, or indicate an intention to sell or dispose of, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline. As of June 30, 2016, we had a total of 80,921,604 shares of our common stock outstanding. Although shares that are held by NetSuite Restricted Holdings LLC are subject to certain restrictions on disposition and a portion of the remaining shares are subject to our Insider Trading Compliance Policy during certain periods of each quarter, substantially all of the shares held by parties other than NetSuite Restricted Holdings LLC, representing 60.5% of our outstanding shares as of June 30, 2016, are freely tradable, subject to our quarterly black-out policy that applies to the shares held by our directors, officers, employees and consultants. If a significant number of these shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Further, in the future, we may sell additional shares of our common stock to raise capital. In addition, a substantial number of shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options, the vesting of restricted stock units and performance share units and performance shares and upon conversion of the Notes. We cannot predict the size of future issuances or the effect, if any, that they may have on the market price for our common stock. The issuance and sale of substantial amounts of common stock, or the perception that such issuances and sales may occur, could adversely affect the trading price of the Notes and the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

The increase in the conversion rate for Notes converted in connection with a make-whole fundamental change may not adequately compensate the holders of the Notes for any lost value of their Notes as a result of such transaction and may cause our existing stockholders to experience additional dilution.

If a make-whole fundamental change occurs prior to the maturity date, under certain circumstances, we will increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares of our common stock for Notes converted in connection with such make-whole fundamental change, which may cause our existing stockholders to experience additional dilution. The increase in the conversion rate will be determined based on the date on which the specified corporate transaction becomes effective and the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of our common stock in such transaction. The increase in the conversion rate for Notes converted in connection with a make-whole fundamental change may not adequately compensate the holders of the Notes for any lost value of their Notes as a result of such transaction. In addition, if the price of our common stock in the transaction is greater than $275.00 per share or less than $86.00 per share (in each case, subject to adjustment), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate. Moreover, in no event will the conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes as a result of this adjustment exceed shares of common stock, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Notes.

Our obligation to increase the conversion rate for Notes converted in connection with a make-whole fundamental change could be considered a penalty, in which case the enforceability thereof would be subject to general principles of reasonableness and equitable remedies.

Provisions in the indenture for the Notes may deter or prevent a business combination that may be favorable to our stockholders.

If a fundamental change occurs prior to the maturity date of the Notes, holders of the Notes will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes. In addition, if a make-whole fundamental change occurs prior to the maturity date of the Notes, we will in some cases be required to increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Notes in connection with such fundamental change. Furthermore, the indenture for the Notes prohibits us from engaging in certain mergers or acquisitions unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the Notes. These and other provisions in the indenture could deter or prevent a third party from acquiring us even when the acquisition may be favorable to our stockholders.

Any adverse rating of the Notes may cause their trading price to fall, which may affect the trading price of our common stock.

We do not intend to seek a rating on the Notes. However, if a rating service were to rate the Notes and if such rating service were to lower its rating on the Notes below the rating initially assigned to the Notes or otherwise announces its intention to put the Notes on credit watch, the trading price of the Notes could decline and the trading price of our common stock may be affected.

Anti‑takeover provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could delay changes in management or impair a takeover attempt of us and, as a result, reduce the market price of our common stock and the value of the Notes.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition deemed undesirable by our Board of Directors. Our corporate governance documents include provisions:

• authorizing blank check preferred stock, which could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to our common stock;

• limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;

• limiting the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings and to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting;

44

• requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our Board of Directors;

• controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board and stockholder meetings;

• providing the Board of Directors with the express power to postpone previously scheduled annual meetings and to cancel previously scheduled special meetings;

• limiting the determination of the number of directors on our board and the filling of vacancies or newly created seats on the board to our Board of Directors then in office; and

• providing that directors may be removed by stockholders only for cause.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management.

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation law, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock. Under Section 203, our largest stockholder, which is beneficially owned by Lawrence J. Ellison, and our current stockholders associated with members of Mr. Ellison’s family are not subject to the prohibition from engaging in such business combinations.

Any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock and the Notes.

Our failure to raise additional capital or generate the cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in our application services could reduce our ability to compete successfully.

We may need to raise additional funds, and we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional equity or convertible debt financing, our stockholders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of our common stock could decline. If we engage in additional debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things:

• develop or enhance our application and services;

• continue to expand our product development, sales and marketing organizations;

• acquire complementary technologies, products or businesses;

• expand operations, in the United States or internationally;

• hire, train and retain employees; or

• respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements.
