Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, Cornerstone OnDemand has provided in this release certain measures that have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include (i) bookings, which is defined as revenue plus the change in deferred revenue, (ii) non-GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, which excludes acquisition and acquisition related costs and employer related taxes from stock-based compensation, (iii) non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, which exclude, for the periods in which they are present, stock-based compensation and employer-related payroll taxes, acquisition costs, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, early debt retirement expense, change in the fair value of preferred stock warrant liabilities, and accretion related to preferred stock, and (iv) non-GAAP gross margin, which excludes common stock warrant charges and stock-based compensation in cost of revenue.

Cornerstone OnDemand’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP measures, in evaluating Cornerstone OnDemand’s ongoing operational performance and trends and in comparing its financial measures with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to help investors understand the operational performance of their businesses. However, it is important to note that the particular items Cornerstone excludes from, or includes in, its non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financials used by companies in the same industry.


Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures has been provided in the tables included as part of this press release.
