“Q2 was a very strong quarter with solid sales execution.

CallidusCloud hosted its fourth annual C3 customer conference in Las Vegas where top prospects and customers gathered to see the latest innovations in sales, marketing, learning and customer experience. The event had a marked increase in the quality of attendees yielding a significant pipeline increase as compared to last year–s event.
CallidusCloud announced the release of Producer Pro, a new solution enabling insurance carriers to effectively manage agents, brokers and agencies throughout their entire lifecycle. Producer Pro provides carriers with a complete view of their producers and helps streamline key processes such as onboarding to improve sales.
At a special launch event in London, CallidusCloud previewed the new Thunderbridge Predictive Analytics capabilities that enable companies to predict critical sales outcomes and performance based on historical data. The solution was also a feature of the keynote at C3 where the beta program was launched prior to general release in the fall.
DocuSign and CallidusCloud expanded their existing partnership to include CPQ. The DocuSign capabilities can now be resold by CallidusCloud as part of the Lead to Money Suite. This enables faster acceptance of commission plans, quotes and contracts.
After the quarter ended CallidusCloud announced the acquisition of BridgeFront, a leading provider of compliance education content for healthcare and insurance companies. The BridgeFront team of 20 has deep domain knowledge and brings over 300 customers. The content will be sold through CallidusCloud–s Litmos mobile learning business.
After 11 years of service David Pratt will retire from the board of directors. We would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his long service and wish him well for the future. David will formally retire at the October 27, 2015 board of directors meeting. With Murray Rode joining the board in 2014 the board of directors is at its full complement.

In this release, CallidusCloud has provided additional financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP recurring revenue gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. CallidusCloud uses non-GAAP measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that they are useful to investors as a supplement to GAAP measures in evaluating CallidusCloud–s operating performance. CallidusCloud believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional insight for investors to use in evaluation of ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial measures with other companies in CallidusCloud–s industry, many of which present non-GAAP financial measures that may resemble our non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Our non-GAAP measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:
Stock-based compensation expense: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP gross profit, recurring revenue gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, net income and net income per diluted share. We believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides a useful comparison of our operating results to our peers.
Restructuring and other expense: We have excluded the effect of restructuring and other expense from our non-GAAP operating expenses, operating income, net income and net income per diluted share. Restructuring and other expense consists of employee severance, facility exit costs and incremental depreciation expense as a result of the change in the estimated useful life of assets abandoned. We feel it is useful to investors to understand the effects of these items on our financial results.
Patent litigation and settlement costs and patent litigation estimates: We have excluded the effect of patent infringement and litigation defense costs, settlement costs and patent litigation estimates from our non-GAAP gross profit, recurring revenue gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, net income and net income per diluted share. We believe patent defense costs and settlement costs and patent litigation estimates are not indicative of our ongoing business operations, and are inconsistent in amount and frequency; as such we exclude patent litigation defense costs during our evaluation of our business performance.
Convertible note interest expense, conversion costs and amortization of convertible note issuance costs: We have excluded the costs of convertible note interest expense, redemption inducement and issuance costs from our non-GAAP net income and net income per diluted share. We believe that these costs are not indicative of our continuing operations or meaningful in evaluating current versus past business results.
Amortization and gain on sale of acquired intangible assets: We have excluded the effect of amortization and gain on sale of acquired intangibles which include developed technology, customer relationships, trade names, domain names, patents and licenses from our non-GAAP gross profit, recurring revenue gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, other income and expense, net income and net income per diluted share. Amortization and gain on sale of acquired intangibles are significantly affected by timing, and as such, can be inconsistent in amount and nature.
Acquisition-related costs: We have excluded the costs related to acquisitions from our non-GAAP operating expenses, operating income, net income and net income per diluted share. These costs include legal and transactional costs associated with acquisition activities that we would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as part of our continuing operations. We believe the exclusion of acquisition-related costs provides a useful comparison of our operating results to our peers.
The forward-looking statements included in this press release, including for example discussion of our commercial prospects, estimates of future revenues, operating income/loss and expenses, earnings per share, stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring and other expenses, and patent litigation costs and estimates reflect management–s best judgment based on factors currently known and involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, potential disruption of customer purchase decisions resulting from global economic conditions, timing and size of orders, relative growth of our recurring revenue, potential decreases in customer spending, uncertainty regarding purchasing trends in the cloud software market, customer cancellations or non-renewal of maintenance contracts or on-demand services, our potential inability to manage effectively any growth we experience, our ability to develop new products and services, increased competition or new entrants in the marketplace, potential impact of acquisitions and investments, changes in staffing levels, and other risks detailed in periodic reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K which may be obtained by contacting CallidusCloud–s Investor Relations department at 415-445-3238, or from the Investor Relations section of CallidusCloud–s website (). Actual results may differ materially from those presently reported. We assume no obligation to update the information contained in this release.
