Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP operating income, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP net income per share.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Cvent’s financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures for financial, operational and budgetary decision-making purposes, and to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide provide useful information regarding past financial performance and future prospects, and permit us to more thoroughly analyze key financial metrics used to make operational decisions. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

We do not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Additionally, we have not reconciled the non-GAAP guidance measures disclosed under “Business Outlook” to their corresponding GAAP measures because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items such as stock-based compensation, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, costs related to acquisitions, and foreign currency remeasurement and transactions gains and losses, as certain items that impact these measures are out of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations to the non-GAAP guidance measures is not available without unreasonable effort.

Cvent excludes the following items as noted from these non-GAAP financial measures:

Interest income. Cvent excludes this income primarily because it is not considered a part of ongoing operating results.

Provision for income taxes. Cvent excludes this expense (benefit) from certain non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it is largely a non-cash expense (benefit) that Cvent does not consider a meaningful component of our operating results when assessing the performance of our business. The exclusion of this expense (benefit) facilitates the comparison of our business outlooks for future periods with the results from prior periods.

Depreciation and amortization. In accordance with GAAP, operating expenses include amortization of intangible assets such as software development and acquisition of technology. Cvent excludes these items from its non-GAAP financial measures because they are typically static expenses that Cvent does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and Cvent believes that doing so facilitates comparisons to its historical operating results and to the results of other companies in our industry, which have their own unique acquisition histories and varied approaches to capitalization of software development.

Stock-based compensation expense. Cvent’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation, which consists of expenses for stock options and other awards. Cvent excludes these expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that are not considered part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business. Excluding these amounts improves comparability of the performance of the business across periods, and to the results of other companies in our industry, which have their own unique histories associated with stock-based compensation.

Foreign currency remeasurement and transaction losses (gains). Cvent’s non-GAAP financial measures excludes these losses (gains) primarily because they are non-cash, and are driven primarily by our India operations, which for accounting purposes is not considered a stand-alone entity and are remeasured instead of translated. In accordance with GAAP, the losses (gains) associated with remeasuring their financial statements, are recognized through our Consolidated Statements of Operations instead of through our Consolidated Balance Sheets, where translation losses (gains) from most foreign subsidiaries would be included. Excluding these amounts improves comparability of the performance of the business across periods and to the results of other companies in our industry, which generally recognize similar losses (gains) through their Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Costs related to acquisitions and disposition. Cvent’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude contingent consideration included in compensation expense which relates to the potential cash payment to certain employees of acquired companies whose right to receive such payment is forfeited if they terminate their employment prior to the required service period. As the contingent payments are subject to continued employment, GAAP requires that it be accounted for as compensation expense and such expense is subject to revaluation. Cvent excludes this item from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it is a component of the deal consideration and it is not considered part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business. The exclusion of these expenses facilitates the comparison of post-acquisition operating results and to the results of other companies in our industry, which have their own unique acquisition histories.
