GAAP VERSUS NON-GAAP PRESENTATION
The Company provides adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share in this press release as additional information regarding the Company’s historical and projected operating results. These measures are not in accordance with – or alternatives to – GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share measures used by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ ability to understand and compare the Company’s results and guidance, because the measures provide supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of its business, as distinct from results that include items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results, and because the Company believes its peers typically publish similar non-GAAP measures. This release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 8-K earnings release filing for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, adjusted income tax provision, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the impact of equity-based compensation, acquisition-related costs and the amortization thereof, and a restructuring charge – all net of income tax effects. Reconciliations of the Company’s GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP adjustments are included in the supplemental information attached to this release.

Equity-based compensation is included in the following GAAP operating expense lines for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

(b) During the first quarter of 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments. Under the new guidance, all excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statements on a prospective basis, rather than recorded in additional paid-in capital. The adjustment represents the excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies of the stock awards vested during the period. Excess tax benefits (deficiencies) occur when the amount deductible for an award of equity instruments on our tax return is more (less) than the cumulative compensation cost recognized for financial reporting purposes, respectively. As discussed above, we excluded equity-based compensation from adjusted non-GAAP results to be consistent with other companies in the software industry. Therefore, we also excluded the related tax benefit (expense) generated upon their vesting.
(c) Adjustments represent purchased intangibles amortization from a prior acquisition. Such amortization is excluded from adjusted results to facilitate comparison with our peers, to facilitate comparisons of the results of our core operations from period to period and for the other reasons explained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on the date hereof.
(d) In May 2017, we eliminated about 100 positions due to the headwinds in the retail sector and to align our services capacity with demand. This action does not impair nor alter our strategic investment plans in innovation and sales and marketing to increase market share and extend our competitive advantage. As a result of this initiative, we recorded a charge of approximately $3.0 million in 2017. The charge primarily consists of employee severance, employee transition cost and outplacement services. We do not believe that the charge is common cost that resulted from normal operating activities. Consequently, we have excluded this charge from adjusted non-GAAP results.

(1) We will adopt the new revenue recognition standard, FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in the first quarter of 2018. The new standard provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects substantially all entities. We expect to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective method with the cumulative effect of initially adopting the standard recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. Currently we are in the process of reviewing our historical contracts to quantify the impact that the adoption of the standard will have on performance obligations. We expect to recognize our hardware revenue net of related cost under the new standard which will reduce both hardware revenue and cost of sales as compared to our current accounting. For comparison purposes only, had we implemented ASC 606 in 2017, at the midpoint of our current guidance, we estimate that the netting of hardware expense against revenue would lower our projected revenue by approximately $31 million.
We are also continuing to evaluate the impact of the standard on our recognition of costs related to obtaining customer contracts. Currently, sales commissions are expensed in sales and marketing expense when earned. We believe these commissions represent direct incremental costs of obtaining our contracts with customers. Under the new standard, these costs must be expensed on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer of the related goods and services to the customer. Based on expected renewals of customer support and software enhancements and sales of optional implementation services, we believe a portion of our commissions expense should be deferred and amortized over time as the corresponding services are transferred to the customer under the new standard. We currently do not expect this change will have a material effect on our projected financial results.
(2) At the midpoint of our 2017 total revenue guidance range, we expect total software revenue to be about $84 million, of which cloud-based revenue is expected to represent between 10% and 11%, with the remainder expected to represent traditional perpetual license revenue. Our 2018 preliminary outlook assumes total software revenue will remain flat at approximately $84 million with cloud-based revenue representing between 25% to 35% of the total. Based on our expectations of SaaS / Cloud sales, beginning in Q1 2018, we will report Cloud Revenue and Cost of Cloud expense on separate line items in our Statements of Income. Because our cloud-based contracts are subscription in nature, the total value of the contract will be recognized over a three to five-year period, as opposed to our perpetual license revenue that is typically recognized upon contract execution. We believe our customers will transition to the SaaS / Cloud model, which will result in the shift of revenues from license revenue recognized pursuant to the residual method to cloud revenue recognized over time creating near term revenue growth headwinds. For our 2018 preliminary outlook, while we expect total software revenue to remain flat, attributable to cloud transition, we expect license revenue to decline between 16% to 27% while we expect cloud revenue to double or triple in size with growth between 135% and 225%. We expect our license gross margin to range between 88% and 91%, and our cloud gross margin to be about 44%, reflecting our initial investment in cloud operations.
(3) From an operating expense perspective, we plan to set aside approximately $10 to $15 million in 2018 to cover investments in global marketing and sales operations, technical resources, automation tools and infrastructure based on demand driven growth and market share capture from our transition into cloud-based offerings to our customers. Based on our 2018 outlook revenue range, the estimated impact of these investments on our GAAP and adjusted operating margin will be between 1.8% to 2.6%, and the estimated impact on our GAAP and adjusted EPS will be between $0.09 and $0.14.
(4) Due to lower than planned revenue in 2017, the expected payouts on our variable compensation plans to our employees are significantly lower than the payouts in previous years. These plans worked as designed, by sharing the negative impact of lower than planned revenue performance between employees and our shareholders. In 2018, compensation plans will reset with the expectation of achieving our financial goals in the coming year with an estimated financial impact of approximately $15 million of additional expense. Based on our 2018 outlook revenue range, the estimated impact of the additional compensation on our GAAP and adjusted operating margin will be between 2.6% and 2.7%, and the estimated impact on our GAAP and adjusted EPS will be approximately $0.14.
