Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share on a diluted basis1. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share on a diluted basis1, exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, gain on the acquisitions, and related tax effects. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods and uses these measures in financial reports prepared for management and the Company's board of directors. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other software-as-a-service companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

The Company does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant elements that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management of the Company presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its GAAP results. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which is included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business.

Forward Looking Statements

The financial projections under Business Outlook, and other forward-looking statements included in this release, including those regarding the Company's future prospects, reflect management's best judgment based on factors currently known and involve risks and uncertainties; our actual results may differ materially from those discussed here. These risks and uncertainties include: our ability to acquire and retain customers; whether customers purchase additional functionality and increase their usage; pricing pressures and competitive factors; the uncertain impact of overall global economic conditions, including on customers, prospective customers and partners, renewal rates and length of sales cycles; the fact that the market for cross-channel marketing solutions, particularly in emerging channels, is at an early stage of development and may not develop as rapidly as we anticipate; outages, which can affect customer satisfaction or result in reduced revenues; security breaches; our ability to develop, and market acceptance of, new products and services; the impact of any discovered product defects; our ability to manage our growth, both domestically and internationally; our ability to successfully expand our sales force and its effectiveness; our ability to maintain profitability; the level of hiring and equity award activity, which will affect the level of stock-based compensation expense; and other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC reports including, but not limited to, our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements including any guidance, whether as a result of events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
