Statement Regarding Use of Non‑GAAP Financial Measures

We report the following non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Revenue Adjusted for Constant Currency. We present revenues adjusted for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars (USD) are converted into USD at the average exchange rates in effect during the prior period presented (for Q1 2018, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.8135 Euros and 1 USD to 0.7185 British Pound Sterling (GBP)), rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q1 2019, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.8804 Euros and 1 USD 0.7679 GBP). We believe the presentation of revenues adjusted for constant currency facilitates the comparison of revenues year-over-year.

Billings. We believe billings is a useful leading indicator regarding the performance of our business. We define subscription billings, professional services and other billings, and total billings as the applicable revenue plus the applicable change in deferred revenue, unbilled receivables and customer deposits as presented or derived from the statement of cash flows. We adjust for constant currency, as described above, and adjust for constant duration by replacing the portion of multi-year billings in excess of twelve months during the current period with the portion of multi-year billings in excess of twelve months during the prior period presented. We believe these adjustments facilitate greater comparability in our billings information year-over-year.

Gross Profit, Income from Operations and Net Income. Our non-GAAP presentation of gross profit, income from operations, and net income measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes, loss on early note conversions, amortization of purchased intangibles, legal settlements, business combination and other related costs, and the related income tax effect of these adjustments. We believe the presentation of operating results that exclude these non-cash or non-recurring items provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.

Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus cash paid for legal settlements and repayments of convertible senior notes attributable to debt discount, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage of total revenues. We believe information regarding free cash flow and free cash flow margin provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our business operations.

Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand our business. Please see the tables included at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results.

Use of Forward‑Looking Statements

This release contains “forward-looking statements” regarding our performance, including but not limited to statements in the section entitled “Financial Outlook.” Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. If any such risks or uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, our results could differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the forward‑looking statements we make.

Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements include: (i) errors, interruptions, delays, or security breaches in or of our service or datacenters, (ii) our ability to grow at our expected rate of growth, including our ability to convert deferred revenue and backlog into revenue, add and retain customers, sell additional subscriptions to existing customers and enter new geographies and markets, (iii) our ability to continue to release, and gain customer acceptance of, improved versions of our services, (iv) our ability to develop and gain customer acceptance of new products and services, including our platform, (v) our ability to compete successfully against existing and new competitors, and (vi) material changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar.

Further information on these and other factors that could affect our financial results are included in our Form 10-Q that will be filed for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including our Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2018.

(1)
Adjusted revenues and the corresponding growth rates are derived by applying the exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period.
(2)
Adjusted billings and the corresponding growth rates are derived by applying the exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period, and by replacing the portion of multi-year billings in excess of twelve months during the current period with the portion of multi-year billings in excess of twelve months during the comparison period.
(3)
Effect of dilutive time-based stock awards, in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes and warrants are included in the GAAP weighted-average diluted shares in periods where we have GAAP net income. We exclude the in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes for non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares as they are covered by our note hedges.

(1)
Adjusted revenues and the corresponding growth rates are derived by applying the exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the forecasted exchange rates for the guidance period.
(2)
Adjusted billings and the corresponding growth rates are derived by applying the exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the forecasted exchange rates for the guidance period, and by replacing the forecasted portion of multi-year billings in excess of twelve months for the guidance period with the actual portion of multi-year billings in excess of twelve months during the comparison period.
(3)
Effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations and fluctuations in billing durations are not applicable for the comparison period.
(4)
GAAP net income or loss for the year ending December 31, 2019 will depend in part on a number of factors, including income taxes, costs associated with non-cash charges associated with equity awards which vary depending on the grant date stock price and actual attainment for our performance-based RSUs, business combinations and other related benefits or expenses which are not known at this time.
