The SignUp4 acquisition broadens Cvent’s customer base and enhances the robustness of the Cvent event cloud.

Based on an anticipated annualized revenue run-rate of $6 million in 2015, Cvent expects this acquisition to contribute approximately $1.5 million to revenue for the remainder of 2015, after considering the purchase accounting impact on acquired deferred revenue. Due to this impact, Cvent expects the acquisition to be dilutive to adjusted EBITDA in 2015 by approximately $2.5 million. The transaction is expected to be accretive to adjusted EBITDA in 2016.

We wish Pete the best of luck in his future endeavors and look forward to his continued contributions to Cvent during this transition period.”

Aggarwal added, “As we look ahead, we anticipate bringing on board our next finance executive to help Cvent continue to scale and capitalize on our position as the leading provider of technology for the meetings and events industry.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP Cost of Revenue Expenses, Non-GAAP Sales & Marketing Expenses, Non-GAAP Research & Development Expenses, Non-GAAP General & Administrative Expenses, Non-GAAP operating income (loss), 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

4

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 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.

Cvent excludes one or more of the following items from these non-GAAP financial measures:

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

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

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Cvent excludes this expense (benefit) from certain non-GAAP financial measures primarily because of the volatility in the amount of 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.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. 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 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 may 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 restricted stock units. 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 exclude 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 our India financial statements, are recognized through our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss 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. Cvent’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude contingent payments 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 these payments 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 contractual deal consideration and it is not considered part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business. Additionally, Cvent’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs related to performing due diligence, valuation, retention payments and severance or other acquisition-related activities. The exclusion of these expenses facilitates the comparison of post-acquisition operating results to the results of other companies in our industry, which have their own unique acquisition histories.

Office relocation costs. These costs relate to Cvent’s office headquarters move during the third quarter of 2014. Cvent excludes this item from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because 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 operating results to the results of other companies in our industry.
