Second Quarter Fiscal 2015 Business Highlights
In the second quarter, Covisint:
Was recognized by Gartner, Inc. as a Visionary in its latest "Magic Quadrant for Horizontal Portals," published October 1, 2014. The Magic Quadrant positions vendors on their ability to execute and completeness of vision. This recognition validates Covisint's continued momentum and leadership position in delivering what the company views as the key technologies enterprises need to gain a digital business advantage across their extended network of business partners and customers: security, integration and presentation. Covisint has been named a Visionary in the Horizontal Portals Magic Quadrant for six consecutive years.

Delivered a presentation on cloud computing at the Gartner Catalyst Conference in San Diego, CA. The session titled "The Four Immutable Laws of Cloud Computing," outlined the four concrete laws that any business should follow to maximize its cloud investment with security and efficiency. Covisint Chief Security Officer David Miller's presentation focused on steps organizations can take to manage and overcome cloud challenges when it comes to issues such as identity and user management,





real-time access to content over multiple devices, and collaborating with constituents to share sensitive data.

Participated in a panel discussion, "The Value of Standards in Oil & Gas and other Industries" at the Petroleum Industry Data Exchange (PIDX) International US Fall Conference 2014 in Houston, TX. Covisint Chief Security Officer David Miller discussed how standards accelerate the realization of value in oil and gas operations. For the petroleum industry in particular, B2B communication and data standards are key to connecting disparate refiners, suppliers, distributors, marketers and others while isolating and securing sensitive data and specific patented processes.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Covisint monitors non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain items (the impact of stock award compensation expense, the amortization of intangible assets and amounts incurred for capitalized internal software costs) and, therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Covisint monitors these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its ongoing operational performance and enhance an overall understanding of its past financial performance. Covisint believes that these non-GAAP metrics help illustrate underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses, as well as the related tax effects, that are excluded in non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. Furthermore, Covisint uses these measures to establish budgets and operational goals for managing its business and evaluating its performance. Covisint also believes that these non-GAAP measures provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing its recurring core business operating results over multiple periods against other companies in its industry.
The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating its business internally and as such has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.
Conference Call and Webcast Information
Covisint management will hold a conference call at 4:45 p.m. (Eastern time) today to discuss these results. The U.S. toll free dial-in for the conference call is 1-877-407-4018, and the international dial-in number is 1-201-689-8471. No passcode is required.
