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, impairment of intangible assets 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 litigation 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 these costs during our evaluation of our business performance.
Amortization 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 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 as well as expense related to earnouts 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.
Taxes: We have excluded the tax expense related to the acquisitions from our non-GAAP operating net income and net income per diluted share. These costs include the tax expense relating to the difference between book and tax goodwill that we would not have otherwise incurred in presenting taxes on our normal operating activities.
Additionally, the Company believes the following supplemental non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors and others in assessing its operating performance. A calculation of the supplemental non-GAAP financial information is provided in the table titled “Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Information.”
SaaS billings is calculated as SaaS revenue plus the change in SaaS deferred revenue in a period.
Normalized SaaS billings is calculated as SaaS revenue plus the change in SaaS deferred revenue in a period plus or minus the effect of multiple year SaaS billings in that period.
We believe that normalized SaaS billings provide valuable insight into the sales of our solutions and the performance of our business. We do not consider normalized SaaS billings as a substitute for revenue recognition or revenue measurement.
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, acquisition-related costs, restructuring and other expenses, and patent litigation and settlement 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 ().
