GAAP VERSUS NON-GAAP PRESENTATION

The Company provides adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted income tax provision, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted cost of services, and adjusted cost of cloud subscriptions, maintenance and services in this press release as additional information regarding the Company’s historical and projected operating results. These measures are not in accordance with – or alternatives to – GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ ability to understand and compare the Company’s results and guidance, because the measures provide supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of its business, as distinct from results that include items not indicative of ongoing operating results, and because the Company believes its peers typically publish similar non-GAAP measures. This release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 8-K earnings release filing for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018. 

Non-GAAP adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted income tax provision, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the impact of equity-based compensation, acquisition-related costs and the amortization of these costs, and a restructuring charge – all net of income tax effects, and the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Adjusted cost of services and adjusted cost of cloud subscriptions, maintenance and services exclude the impact of equity-based compensation. We include reconciliations of the Company’s GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP adjustments in the supplemental information attached to this release.

(a)     Adjusted results exclude all equity-based compensation to facilitate comparison with our peers and for the other reasons explained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed today with the SEC. Equity-based compensation is included in the following GAAP operating expense lines for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018, and 2017:

    Three Months Ended December 31,     Year Ended December 31,  
    2018     2017     2018     2017  
                                 
Cost of services   $ 1,583     $ 1,398     $ 5,787     $ 3,994  
Research and development     1,095       1,280       4,230       3,208  
Sales and marketing     545       690       2,041       2,240  
General and administrative     2,068       1,820       7,806       6,787  
Total equity-based compensation   $ 5,291     $ 5,188     $ 19,864     $ 16,229  
 

(b)     Adjustments represent the excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies of the stock awards vested during the period. Excess tax benefits (deficiencies) occur when the amount deductible for an award of equity instruments on our tax return is more (less) than the cumulative compensation cost recognized for financial reporting purposes. As discussed above, we excluded equity-based compensation from adjusted non-GAAP results to be consistent with other companies in the software industry and for the other reasons explained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. Therefore, we also excluded the related tax benefit (expense) generated upon their vesting.

(c)     Adjustments represent purchased intangibles amortization from a prior acquisition. We exclude that amortization from adjusted results to facilitate comparison with our peers, to facilitate comparisons of the results of our core operations from period to period and for the other reasons explained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

(d)     In May 2017, we eliminated about 100 positions due to retail sector headwinds and to align our services capacity with demand. That action did not impair or alter our strategic investment plans in innovation and sales and marketing to increase market share and extend our competitive advantage. As a result of that initiative, we recorded a charge of approximately $2.9 million in 2017. The charge primarily consisted of employee severance, employee transition and outplacement costs. We excluded that charge from adjusted non-GAAP results because we do not believe the charge was a cost resulting from normal operating activities and for the other reasons explained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

(e)     In the fourth quarter of 2017, we recorded a provisional net one-time tax of $2.8 million because of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017. We calculated that amount based on a reasonable estimate of the income tax effects, primarily from a tax on accumulated foreign earnings and the remeasurement of deferred tax assets. We finalized our calculations, resulting in a tax benefit of $0.2 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

7.           Impact of Cloud Transition

Because of our business transition to Cloud Subscriptions, we have revised our presentations of revenue and related cost line items in our consolidated statements of income. We have reclassified certain line items in prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation in the consolidated statements of income. These reclassifications include: all revenue line items; cost of license; cost of cloud subscriptions, maintenance and services; and cost of hardware. These reclassifications did not affect total revenue, operating income or net income. The following table reflects the comparison between the former and new presentation (in thousands):

  1. Cloud subscriptions includes software as a service (“SaaS”) and arrangements that provide customers with the right to use our software within a cloud-based environment provided by and managed by us where the customer does not have the right to take possession of the software without significant penalties.
     
  2. Cost of cloud subscriptions, maintenance and services consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of employees dedicated to cloud subscriptions; maintenance services; professional and technical services; and hosting fees.
     
  3. Adjusted results exclude all equity-based compensation to facilitate comparison with our competitors and peers and for the other reasons explained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed today with the SEC.

8.        ASC 606 Adoption

We adopted the new revenue recognition standard, FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in the first quarter of 2018. The new standard provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects substantially all entities. We adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method with the cumulative effect of initially adopting the standard recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. We recorded historical hardware sales prior to the adoption of ASC 606 on a gross basis, as we were the principal in the transaction in accordance with ASC 605-45. Under the new standard, we are an agent in the transaction as we do not physically control the hardware we sell. Accordingly, we recognize our hardware revenue net of related cost, which reduces both hardware revenue and cost of sales compared to our accounting prior to 2018. We recognize and present our hardware revenue net of related cost under the new standard prospectively. For comparison purposes only, had we implemented ASC 606 using the full retrospective method, we would have presented hardware revenue net of expense in our 2017 quarterly financial results below (in thousands):

9.        Remaining Performance Obligations

Under the new revenue recognition standard, we now disclose revenue we expect to recognize from our remaining performance obligations.  Our reported performance obligations primarily represent cloud subscriptions with a non-cancelable term greater than one year (including cloud deferred revenue as well as cloud amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods).  Our deferred revenue on the balance sheet primarily relates to our maintenance contracts, which are typically one year in duration and are not included in the remaining performance obligations.  Below are our remaining performance obligations as of the end of each period (in thousands):

  December 31, 2017     March 31, 2018     June 30, 2018     September 30, 2018     December 31, 2018  
Remaining Performance Obligations $ 27,535     $ 33,999     $ 58,434     $ 64,175     $ 76,990
