Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's stated results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating income/(loss), net income/(loss), weighted average shares outstanding, and net income/(loss) per share. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and transaction costs for business combinations. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) excludes these expenses as they are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business, and in the case of stock-based compensation, can be difficult to predict. The Company believes these adjustments provide useful comparative information to investors.

The Company considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the Company and are used by the Company's management for that purpose. In addition, investors often use measures such as these to evaluate the operating performance of a company. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the Company's operating results. The non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    
    To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on
    a GAAP basis, NetSuite uses non-GAAP measures of net income / (loss), 
    weighted average shares outstanding and net income / (loss) per share, 
    which are adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, 
    amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and transaction 
    costs for business combinations to include dilutive shares where 
    applicable. We believe these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an 
    overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our 
    prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period GAAP 
    results are made with the intent of providing both management and 
    investors a more complete understanding of NetSuite's underlying operating
    results and trends and our marketplace performance. The non-GAAP results 
    that are an indication of our baseline performance are considered by 
    management for the purpose of making operational decisions. In addition, 
    these non-GAAP results are the primary indicators management uses as a 
    basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation
    of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation 
    or as a substitute for net loss or basic and diluted net loss per share 
    prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in 
    the United States. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a 
    comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and are subject to 
    limitations.
    
    (a)   Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense accounted for in 
          accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
          No. 123(R) for options granted after January 1, 2006, and Accounting
          Principles Board Opinion No. 25 for options granted before 
          January 1, 2006. Amortization of intangible assets and transaction 
          costs related to business combinations resulted principally from 
          mergers and acquisitions. While a large component of our expense in 
          certain periods, we believe investors may want to exclude the 
          effects of these items in order to compare our financial performance
          with that of other companies and between time periods.
    
    (b)   These securities are anti-dilutive on a GAAP basis as a result of 
          the Company's net loss, but are considered dilutive on a non-GAAP 
          basis in periods where the Company has reported positive non-GAAP 
          earnings.
