Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's results as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company has provided non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. These financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock compensation expense; amortization of purchased software and acquired intangible assets; restructuring charges; advisory fees associated with certain shareholder actions and business transformation; and the related tax impacts of these items. Each of the non-GAAP adjustments is described in more detail below. The accompanying tables provides a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.

We believe that inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provides better comparability with our historical financial results and with the results of many of our competitors. In addition, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow investors to review supplemental information used internally by management to evaluate our financial results. These non-GAAP measures also represent the means by which we communicate our earnings guidance to investors.

Compuware Corporation Reports Second Quarter, Fiscal Year 2015 ResultsOctober 23, 2014 Page 4

While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not audited, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Items such as stock compensation expense; amortization of purchased software and acquired intangible assets; restructuring charges; advisory fees associated with certain shareholder actions and business transformation; and the related tax impacts of these items that are excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on net income. As a result, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income or loss, cash flow from operations or other measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measure. We have procedures in place to ensure that these measures are calculated using the appropriate GAAP components in their entirety and to ensure that our performance is properly reflected to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. Management reviews the non-GAAP adjustments on a net-of-tax basis when evaluating our performance. Therefore, we exclude the tax impact of these charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

The following discusses the reconciling items from our non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures:

Stock compensation expense. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the compensation charges required to be recorded by GAAP for equity awards to employees and directors.  Although this is a normal recurring expense for us, we believe it is useful in evaluating corporate performance during a particular time period to review the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures excluding this expense because these costs are generally fixed at the time an award is granted, are then expensed over several years and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management in the current period.

Amortization of purchased software and acquired intangibles.  Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs associated with the amortization of purchased software and acquired intangible assets.  Although this is a normal recurring expense for us, we believe it is useful in evaluating corporate performance during a particular time period to review the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures excluding this expense because these costs are fixed at the time of acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management in the current period.

Restructuring charges. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude restructuring charges, and any subsequent changes in estimates as they relate to our ongoing corporate restructuring activities. We believe it is useful in evaluating corporate performance during a particular time period to review the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures excluding restructuring charges in order to provide comparability and consistency with historical operating results.

Advisory fees associated with certain shareholder actions and our business transformation initiative. In response to certain shareholder actions dating back to fiscal 2013, we have taken various actions to drive shareholder value.  These actions have resulted in significant consultant fees to investigate business alternatives and implement business transformation plans. We believe it is useful in evaluating corporate performance during a particular time period to review the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures excluding such costs in order to provide comparability and consistency with historical operating results.

Compuware Corporation Reports Second Quarter, Fiscal Year 2015 ResultsOctober 23, 2014 Page 5

Provision for income taxes on above pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the tax impact of the above pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments. This amount is calculated using the tax rates of each country to which these pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments relate. Management excludes the non-GAAP adjustments on a net-of-tax basis in evaluating our performance. Therefore, we exclude the tax impact of these charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

Compuware is the technology performance company, and we exist solely to help our customers optimize the performance of their most important and innovative technologies—those that drive their businesses forward. Today, more than 7,100 companies, including many of the world’s largest organizations, depend on Compuware and our new-generation approach to performance management to do just that.
