Non-GAAP Financial Measures

FireEye has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures used by other companies. The company uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the company’s financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.


Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with the company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the company’s non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

Billings. FireEye defines billings as revenue recognized plus the change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period. The company considers billings to be a useful metric for management and investors because billings drive deferred revenue, which is an important indicator of the health and visibility of the company’s business, and represent a significant percentage of quarterly revenue. There are a number of limitations related to the use of billings versus revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP. First, billings include amounts that have not yet been recognized as revenue. Second, FireEye’s calculation of billings may be different from other companies that report similar financial measures. FireEye compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding GAAP revenue and evaluating billings together with revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP net loss and net loss per share. FireEye defines non-GAAP net loss as net loss excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and change in fair value of preferred stock warrant liability. FireEye considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors because they exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and change in fair value of preferred stock warrant liability so that management and investors can compare the company’s “core business operating results,” meaning its operating performance excluding not only stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and change in fair value of preferred stock warrant liability but also, from time to time, discrete charges that are infrequent in nature, over multiple periods.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share versus net loss and net loss per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. First, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and change in fair value of preferred stock warrant liability. Stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the company’s business. Second, stock-based compensation is an important part of FireEye employees’ overall compensation. Third, the components of the costs that FireEye excludes in its calculation of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share may differ from the components that its peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP results of operations. FireEye compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share and evaluating non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share together with net loss and net loss per share calculated in accordance with GAAP.
