Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and NetSuite's scheduled conference call contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 relating to, among other things, expectations, plans, prospects and financial results for NetSuite, including, but not limited to, our stated expectation for products, market demand, future earnings, revenue and market share growth. These forward-looking statements are based upon the current expectations and beliefs of NetSuite's management as of the date of this conference call, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made during the conference call will be based on information available to the Company as of the date thereof, and NetSuite disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
In particular, the following factors, among others, could cause results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements: the market for on-demand services may develop more slowly than expected or than it has in the past; continued adverse and unpredictable macro-economic conditions or reduced investments in on-demand applications and information technology spending; quarterly operating results may fluctuate more than expected; unexpected disruptions of service at the Company's data center may occur; a security breach may impact operations; risks associated with material defects or errors in the Company's software or the effect of undetected computer viruses could impact operations; the risk of technological developments and innovations by others; our ability to successfully identify other businesses and technologies for acquisition that will complement our business and the ability to successfully acquire and integrate those businesses and technologies; the risk of loss of power or disruption in Internet service; failure to manage growth; failure to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; the ability to manage operations when faced with competitive pricing and marketing strategies by competitors or changing macro-economic conditions; the risk of losing key employees; increased demands on employees and costs associated with operating as a public company; evolving government regulation of the Internet and Ecommerce; changes to current accounting rules; and general political or destabilizing events, including war, conflict or acts of terrorism; and other risks and uncertainties.

For a detailed discussion of these and other cautionary statements, please refer to the risk factors discussed in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including but not limited to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 13, 2009, and any subsequently filed reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K.

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.
