Cornerstone OnDemand Announces Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results  
 
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – November 3, 2016Human capital management software provider Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSOD) today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2016. A summary of the Company’s Operational and Financial Highlights is available on the Company’s Investor Relations website at http://investors.cornerstoneondemand.com.
“In the third quarter, we exceeded revenue expectations and came in well ahead of our profitability goals,” said Adam Miller, the Company’s President and CEO. “We have made great strides in our operational excellence initiatives, and believe our continued focus on efficiency will enable us to achieve even stronger gains in profitability while continuing to pursue the tremendous long-term growth opportunities ahead.”
Third Quarter 2016 Results:
Revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $107.8 million, representing a 23.5% increase compared to the same period in 2015. Revenue growth on a constant currency basis represented a 29.7% increase compared to the prior year.1 
Billings were $107.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, representing a 3.2% increase compared to the same period in 2015.1 Billings growth on a constant currency basis represented a 8.7% increase compared to the prior year.1 
The Company’s operating loss for the third quarter of 2016 was $(10.0) million, yielding an operating loss margin of (9.3)%, compared to an operating loss of $(17.0) million, yielding an operating loss margin of (19.5)%, for the third quarter of 2015. This represents an increase of 1,020 basis points year-over-year.
Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2016 was $6.9 million, yielding a non-GAAP operating income margin of 6.4%, compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $(2.2) million, yielding a non-GAAP operating loss margin of (2.5)%, for the third quarter of 2015.1 This represents an increase of 890 basis points year-over-year.
The Company’s net loss for the third quarter of 2016 was $(12.4) million, or a $(0.22) diluted net loss per share, compared to a net loss of $(20.1) million, or a $(0.37) diluted net loss per share, for the third quarter of 2015.
Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $6.9 million, or a $0.11 non-GAAP diluted net income per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $(3.2) million, or a $(0.06) non-GAAP diluted net loss per share, for the third quarter of 2015.1
Free cash flow for the third quarter of 2016 was $7.8 million compared to free cash flow of $(3.8) million for the third quarter of 2015.1
“We once again came in well ahead of our margin expectations in Q3, largely driven by significant improvement in sales and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue,” said Brian L. Swartz, the Company’s CFO. “We are especially pleased with our progress, particularly considering we have yet to realize many of the potential benefits from our various operational excellence initiatives.”
Recent Highlights:
The Company remained positioned as a Strategic Leader in the October 2016 Fosway 9-GridTM for Integrated Talent Management systems.
ResCare, Inc., the nation’s largest provider of services to people with disabilities, began using the Company’s cloud-based talent management software to recruit candidates, quickly onboard new hires and deliver learning content to its mostly remote workforce.
Electrolux, a leading global appliance manufacturer, expanded its use of the Company’s cloud-based talent management software solutions in an effort to support the execution of its business strategy.
The Company ended the third quarter of 2016 with 2,805 clients and approximately 27.7 million users.2

Financial Outlook:
The following outlook is based on information available as of the date of this press release and is subject to change in the future. For the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2016, the Company provides the following outlook:
Revenue between $108.0 million and $110.0 million, representing year-over-year growth at the mid-point of 13.6%3, or 21.9%4 on a constant currency basis.
For the year ending December 31, 2016, the Company provides the following updated outlook:
Revenue between $422.0 million and $424.0 million, representing year-over-year growth at the mid-point of 24.5%5, or 29.6%6 on a constant currency basis.
Non-GAAP net income of approximately $2.5 million and a non-GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.04.
Free cash flow of approximately $10.0 million. The Company’s free cash flow outlook has been adjusted to reflect timing changes related to certain one-time working capital adjustments and increased payment terms given to clients signed late in the third quarter, as well as the impact of the continued devaluation of the British pound.
The Company has not reconciled the guidance for non-GAAP net income or non-GAAP diluted net income per share to the corresponding GAAP measures because it does not provide guidance for such GAAP measures and would not be able to present the reconciling items between such GAAP and non-GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. For non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share, the Company excludes stock-based compensation expense, which is impacted by factors that are outside of the Company’s control and can be difficult to predict. The actual amount of stock-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter and the year ending December 31, 2016 will have a significant impact on the Company’s GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share.

Billings, financial measures presented on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating income (loss) margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share and free cash flows are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the discussion in the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company has provided in this press release and the quarterly conference call held on the date hereof certain measures that have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include (i) non-GAAP cost of revenue, which is defined as cost of revenue less amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation, (ii) billings (formerly referred to as “bookings”), which are defined as revenue plus the change in total deferred revenue as presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, (iii) free cash flows, which is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus capital expenditures and capitalized software costs, (iv) free cash flows margin, which is defined as free cash flows divided by revenue (v) non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share, which exclude, for the periods in which they are presented, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, accretion of debt discount and amortization of debt issuance costs, unrealized fair value adjustment on strategic investment, and excludes the impacts of unamortized stock-based compensation expense in applying the treasury method for determining the non-GAAP weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding, (vi) non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, which exclude stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets reflected in cost of revenue, (vii) non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP operating income (loss) margin, which are defined as loss from operations excluding stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets, (viii) non-GAAP operating expenses, which exclude stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets, and (ix) non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative expense, each of which excludes stock-based compensation attributable to the corresponding GAAP financial measures. In addition, the Company discloses revenue and billings growth on a constant currency basis. To present amounts on a constant currency basis, current period results for entities reporting in functional currencies other than the United States dollar are translated into the United States dollar at the prior period exchange rates as opposed to the actual exchange rates in effect for the current period. The Company presents constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how its underlying business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.
The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operational performance and trends and in comparing its financial measures with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to help investors understand the operational performance of their businesses. In addition, the Company believes that the following non-GAAP adjustments are useful to management and investors for the following reasons:
Stock-based compensation. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense because it is non-cash in nature, and management believes that its exclusion provides additional insight into the Company’s operational performance and also provides a useful comparison of the Company’s operating results to prior periods and its peer companies. Additionally, determining the fair value of certain stock-based awards involves a high degree of judgment and estimation and the expense recorded may bear little resemblance to the actual value realized upon the vesting or future exercise of such awards.
Amortization of intangible assets. The Company excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets because the expense is a non-cash item and management believes that its exclusion provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and allows for a useful comparison of its operating results to prior periods and its peer companies.
Accretion of debt discount and amortization of debt issuance costs. Under GAAP, the Company is required to separately account for liability and equity components of the senior convertible notes that were issued in June 2013. Accordingly, for GAAP purposes, the Company is required to recognize the effective interest expense on its senior convertible notes and amortize the issuance costs over the term of the notes. The difference between the effective interest expense and the contractual interest expense, and the amortization expense of issuance costs are excluded from management’s assessment of the Company’s operating performance because management believes that these non-cash expenses are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. In addition, the exclusion of these items provides a useful comparison of the Company’s operating results to prior periods and its peer companies.
Fair value adjustment on strategic investments. The Company views the increase or decrease in fair value of its strategic investments as not indicative of operational performance during any particular period and believes that the exclusion of these gains or losses provides investors with a supplemental view of the Company’s operational performance.

4



Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. For prior periods, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures has been provided in the tables included as part of this press release.
