Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Information to Investors

Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We compute non-GAAP financial metrics by adjusting certain GAAP financial metrics to remove the impact of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other expenses, acquisition-related transaction expenses, costs to integrate such acquisitions into our business, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, litigation settlement charges, non-cash interest expense related to our 0.75% convertible senior notes (“Notes”), imputed interest expense and depreciation, net of accrued sublease income and capitalized interest, related to the sale of our corporate headquarters facility and related land, and the gain on the sale of our corporate headquarters facility and related land. Effective in 2014, we use a constant non-GAAP tax rate of 19%, which we believe reflects the long term average tax rate based on our international structure and geographic distribution of revenue and profit.

Certain variables used in calculating non-GAAP financial metrics cannot be accurately estimated on a forward-looking basis. These non-GAAP financial measures have certain shortcomings, including but not limited to the risk and uncertainties outlined in the Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements section of this presentation. These adjustments are described below:

Ex Currency. To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to adjust revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, and earnings per share to exclude the impact of year-over-year changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. This is accomplished by using the exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period. We refer to this adjusted revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, and earnings per share as “ex currency.” Management believes the ex currency measure provides investors an additional perspective on year-over-year financial trends. The year-over-year currency impact can be determined as the difference between year-over-year actual growth rates and year-over-year ex currency growth rates.

Intangible assets acquired to date are being amortized on a straight-line basis

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation

Non-cash settlement of vacation liabilities through the issuance of RSUs, which is not included in the GAAP presentation of our stock-based compensation expense

Restructuring and other expenses consists of: o Restructuring charges incurred as we consolidate the number and size of our facilities and, as a result, reduce the size of our workforce o Acquisition-related executive deferred compensation costs, which are dependent on the continuing employment of a former stockholder of an acquired company, were amortized on a straight-line basis during 2013 and 2012 o Expenses incurred to integrate businesses acquired during the periods reported

Acquisition-related transaction costs associated with businesses acquired during the periods reported and anticipated transactions

Changes in fair value of contingent consideration. Our management determined that we should analyze the total return provided by the investment when evaluating operating results of an acquired entity. The total return consists of operating profit generated from the acquired entity compared to the purchase price paid, including the final amounts paid for contingent consideration without considering any post-acquisition adjustments related to changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration. Because our management believes the final purchase price paid for the acquisition reflects the accounting value assigned to both contingent consideration and to the intangible assets, we exclude the GAAP impact of any adjustments to the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration from the operating results of an acquisition in subsequent periods. We believe this approach is useful in understanding the long-term return provided by our acquisitions and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of this adjustment.

Non-cash interest expense on our Notes. Our Notes may be settled in cash on conversion. We are required to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the Notes in a manner that reflects our non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, for GAAP purposes, we are required to amortize a debt discount equal to the fair value of the conversion option as interest expense on our $345 million of 0.75% convertible senior notes that were issued in a private placement in September 2014 over the term of the Notes.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Information to Investors

(continued)

Imputed net expenses related to sale of building and land. On November 1, 2012, we sold the 294,000 square foot building located in Foster City, California, which at that time served as our corporate headquarters, along with approximately four acres of land and certain other assets related to the property, for $179.7 million. We used the facility until October 31, 2013, for which period rent was not required to be paid. This constituted a form of continuing involvement that prevented gain recognition until we vacated the facility during the fourth quarter of 2013. Prior to vacating the building, the proceeds from the sale were recognized as deferred proceeds from property transaction on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Imputed interest expense and depreciation, net of accrued sublease income and capitalized interest, was accrued during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, related to the deferred property transaction

Gain on sale of building and land. On November 1, 2012, we sold the aforementioned building and land for $179.7 million. We used the facility until October 31, 2013, while searching for a new facility, building it out, and relocating our corporate headquarters, for which period rent was not required to be paid. Because we vacated the facility on October 31, 2013, we have no continuing involvement with the property and have accounted for the transaction as a property sale during the fourth quarter of 2013, thereby recognizing a gain of approximately $117.2 million on the sale of the property

Litigation settlements. In conjunction with our acquisition of Cretaprint, we assumed a contingent liability related to the alleged infringement of certain patents. Because the former owners of Cretaprint agreed to indemnify EFI against any potential liability, we accrued a contingent liability based on a reasonable estimate of the legal obligation that was probable as of the acquisition date and we accrued a contingent asset based on the portion of any liability for which the former Cretaprint owners would indemnify EFI. The net obligation accrued in the opening balance sheet on the acquisition date was EU 2.5 million (or approximately $3.3 million). The Spanish Court of Appeal reached a final determination in 2013, which resulted in EFI having no liability related to any potential infringement of the patent. Because this matter is no longer subject to appeal, we reversed this liability by recognizing a credit against general and administrative expense in 2013. In addition, we settled or accrued reserves related to several unrelated litigation claims in the years reported.

Tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are as follows:\ o Effective in 2014, we use a constant non-GAAP tax rate of 19%, which we believe reflects the long term average tax rate based on our international structure and geographic distribution of revenue and profit. The long-term average tax rate is calculated in accordance with the principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes, after excluding the tax effect of the non-GAAP items described above, to estimate the non-GAAP income tax provision in each jurisdiction in which we operate. o The long-term average tax rate assumes that the U.S. federal research and development tax credit will be retroactively re-enacted as of January 1, 2015. o In addition to excluding the tax effect of the non-GAAP items described above, we have excluded the following from our non-GAAP net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012: Tax charge of $19.4 million in 2013 resulting from the establishment of a valuation allowance related to the realization of tax benefits from existing California deferred tax assets Tax benefit of $43.6 million in 2012 resulting from a capital loss related to the liquidation of a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Tax benefit of $6.5 million in 2012 resulting from the increase in value of acquired intangibles for tax purposes due to an operational restructuring in Spain

Tax benefit of $2.6, $5.8, and $11.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, resulting from the release of previously unrecognized tax benefits to facilitate comparability of our operating performance between the periods. These tax benefits primarily resulted from the release of previously unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the expiration of U.S. federal statutes of limitations.

Tax benefit of $3.2 million from the retroactive renewal of the 2012 U.S. federal research and development tax credit on January 2, 2013. The tax benefit had been previously recognized in our non-GAAP net income for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Interest expense accrued on prior year tax reserves of $0.4, $0.4, and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
