For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported revenue of $154.1 million, up 5% compared to third quarter 2011 revenue of $147.3 million. Third quarter 2012 non-GAAP net income was $13.3 million or $0.28 per diluted share compared to non-GAAP net income of $11.6 million or $0.25 per diluted share for the same period in 2011. GAAP net income was $13.4 million or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to $6.1 million or $0.13 per diluted share for the same period in 2011.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported revenue of $478.0 million, up 12% year-over-year compared to $428.5 million for the same period in 2011. Non-GAAP net income was $41.7 million or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $36.4 million or $0.76 per diluted share for the same period in 2011.

“Another very strong quarter by our Industrial Inkjet business coupled with continued double-digit growth in our Productivity Software business led to solid results for Q3 despite the softness in Europe. For the first time, Industrial Inkjet represented over 50% of total EFI revenues, while at the same time the continued high growth of ink volume shows that our customers are also enjoying a similar business expansion,” said Guy Gecht, Chief Executive Officer of EFI. “As we begin a major new product cycle across our entire product portfolio, EFI’s innovation continues to help customers drive growth and efficiency in their business, which is crucial to our industry, especially in today’s environment.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial results prepared under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of net income (loss), as the case may be, and earnings per diluted share that are GAAP net income (loss), as the case may be, and GAAP earnings per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring costs, expenses and gains. A reconciliation of the adjustments to GAAP results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 is provided below. In addition, an explanation of how management uses non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its business, the substance behind management’s decision to use this non-GAAP financial information, the material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial information, the manner in which management compensates for those limitations, and the substantive reasons management believes that this non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to investors is included under “About our Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjustments” after the tables below.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures, used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss), as the case may be, or earnings per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP.

About our Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjustments

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per diluted share that are GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring costs, expenses, and gains.

We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share provides important supplemental information regarding non-cash expenses, significant recurring and non-recurring items that we believe are important to understanding our financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are among the primary indicators used by management as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods and by management and our board of directors to determine whether our operating performance has met specified targets and thresholds. Management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share when evaluating operating performance because it believes that the exclusion of the items described below, for which the amounts and/or timing may vary significantly depending upon the Company’s activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of the Company’s operating performance from period to period. We have chosen to provide this information to investors so they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our business and the valuation of our Company.

Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We compute non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share by adjusting GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share to remove the impact of recurring amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and stock-based compensation expense, as well as restructuring-related and non-recurring charges and gains and the tax effect of these adjustments. Such non-recurring charges and gains include acquisition-related transaction costs and the costs to integrate such acquisitions into our business, sale of a non-strategic minority investment in a privately held company, and changes in fair value of contingent consideration.

These excluded items are described below:

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Information to Investors

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures, used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or earnings per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. We expect to continue to incur expenses of a nature similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring.
