Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

On January 31, 2017, Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a transaction to acquire Xerox Corporation’s FreeFlow Print Server Digital Front Ends business. As a result of such transaction, the Company is updating its guidance for the first quarter ending March 31, 2017. The Company now expects GAAP revenue to be in the range of $236 million to $241 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 compared to its prior outlook in the range of $235 million to $240 million. In addition, the Company now expects revenue for the full fiscal year 2017 for its Fiery segment to grow by low to mid-single digits. The Company also now expects non-GAAP operating margin to be in the range of 13% to 15% compared to its prior outlook of 15% to 16%.

A copy of the presentation that the Company intends to use in its discussion of the transaction with investors is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The presentation includes financial information not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP is included in the presentation. The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP operating margin provides important supplemental information regarding non-cash expenses and significant items that the Company believes is important to understanding financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Non-GAAP operating margin is among the primary indicators used by management as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods and by management and the Company’s Board of Directors to determine whether its operating performance has met specified targets and thresholds. Management of the Company uses non-GAAP operating margin when evaluating operating performance because it believes the exclusion of certain items as described in the presentation, for which the amounts and/or timing may vary significantly depending on the Company’s activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of the Company’s operating performance from period to period. The Company has chosen to provide this information to investors so that they can analyze the Company’s operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in the assessment of the Company’s business and the valuation of the Company.    

The information included in this Item 7.01 and Exhibits 99.1 is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
