About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share are supplemental measures of our
performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP
financial measures are not intended to be used in isolation and should not be considered a
substitute for net income and net income per share or any other performance measure determined in
accordance with GAAP. We present non-GAAP net income and net income per share because we consider
each to be an important supplemental measure of our performance.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to make operational decisions, evaluate the
Companys performance, prepare forecasts and determine compensation. Further, management believes
that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in
assessing the Companys performance when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.
Our stock-based compensation expenses are expected to vary depending on the number of new grants
issued, changes in our stock price, stock market volatility, expected option lives and risk-free
rates of return, all of which are difficult to estimate.
During the first quarter of 2011, we recorded a $1.8 million foreign currency gain related to our
acquisition of Q-go.
In calculating non-GAAP income from operations, net income and net income per share, management
excluded stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition costs and amortization associated with
acquired intangible assets, debt amortization expenses, and the foreign gain associated with our
acquisition of Q-go (debt amortization expense was not included and foreign currency was not
excluded from non-GAAP income from operations because these amounts were not recorded as operating
income), to facilitate its review of the comparability of the Companys operating performance on a
period-to-period basis because such expenses and gain are not, in managements view, related to the
Companys ongoing operating performance. Management uses this view of its operating performance
for purposes of comparison with its business plan and individual operating budgets and resource
allocation.
Management further believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in
providing greater transparency to the information used by management in its operational decision
making. We believe that the use of non-GAAP net income and net income per share also facilitate a
comparison of RightNows underlying operating performance with that of other companies in our
industry, which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.
Calculating non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and readers should
not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP operating income, net income
and net income per share. In the future, we expect to incur additional stock-based compensation
expenses and the exclusion of these expenses in the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures
should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
In the future, we also expect to incur additional acquisition costs and amortization associated
with acquired intangible assets and we anticipate excluding these expenses in the future
presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures. These acquired intangible assets will be
considered for impairment, but will be considered a static expense,
-more-
one that is not typically
affected by operations during any particular period. Lastly, we anticipate excluding amortization
of debt issuance costs from our future presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures as these
costs are non-cash expenses that are not considered part of ongoing operating results when
assessing the performance of our business, and RightNow believes that doing so facilitates
comparisons to its historical operating results and to the results of other companies in our
industry.
Investors and potential investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with
the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool, which include:
| Other companies inside and outside of our industry may calculate non-GAAP net income and net income per share differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool; and | ||
| The Companys income tax expense or benefit will be ultimately based on its GAAP taxable income and actual tax rates in effect, which may differ significantly from the effective tax rate used in our non-GAAP financial measures. |
In addition, the adjustments to our future GAAP financial measures reflecting the exclusion of
stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and amortization of
debt issuance costs are recurring and will be reflected in the Companys financial results for the
foreseeable future. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing specific
information regarding the GAAP amount excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. The Company
further compensates for the limitations of its use of non-GAAP financial measures by presenting
comparable GAAP with equal or greater prominence. The Company evaluates the non-GAAP financial
measures together with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial
measures contained within this press release with our GAAP net income and net income per share.
For more information, see the consolidated operating statements and reconciliation of non-GAAP
measurements contained in this press release.
