The presentation of this additional financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, Ariba has provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial information provided in the press release with the comparable financial information reported in accordance with GAAP for the given period.
