Today’s presentation includes forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the
Safe
Harbor
from
liability
established
by
the
Private
Securities
Litigation
Reform
Act
of 1995.These forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our
financial expectations, demand for our solutions and growth in our markets, are
subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those suggested by our forward-looking statements.  These
factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2013, as filed with the SEC on April 9,
2013. Forward-looking information in this presentation represents our outlook as of
today, and we do not undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking
statements.
During
today's
presentation
we
may
refer
to
our
Adjusted
EBITDA.
This
is
a
non-
GAAP financial measure that has been adjusted for certain non-cash and other items,
and that is not computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The GAAP measure most comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is our net
income (loss). A reconciliation of our historical Adjusted EBITDA to our net income
(loss) is included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Note: Please see Appendix for detailed definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP financial measure of net income (loss).  We
define EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other income (expense), foreign exchange gain (loss) and
provision for income taxes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense.

Note: We compute our license revenue renewal rate for any fiscal
year by identifying the customers from whom we derived license revenue in the prior fiscal
year and dividing the dollar amount of license revenue that we receive in the current fiscal year from those customers by the dollar amount of license revenue
we received from them in the prior fiscal year.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are included above.
We define non-GAAP operating income as GAAP operating income excluding non-cash, stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets.  We
define  EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and other income (expense), foreign exchange gain (loss) and provision for income
taxes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense.
