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. Cornerstone OnDemand has provided in this release certain measures that have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include (i) non-GAAP revenue, which is defined as gross revenue plus revenue not recognized in the period due to the impact of purchase accounting rules on deferred revenue acquired through acquisitions, (ii) bookings, which are defined as gross revenue plus the change in deferred revenue for the period, (iii) non-GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, which excludes payment of premium on investments

net of related amortization, acquisition and acquisition-related costs and employer-related taxes from stock-based compensation, (iv) non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, which are based on non-GAAP revenue and exclude, for the periods in which they are present, stock-based compensation and employer-related payroll taxes, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition costs, adjustments to taxes related to acquisition adjustments, accretion of debt discount and amortization of debt issuance costs, (v) non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, which are calculated based on non-GAAP revenue and exclude stock-based compensation and amortization of certain intangible assets reflected in cost of revenue, (vi) non-GAAP loss from operations and non-GAAP operating margin, which are calculated based on operating loss and exclude adjustments to revenue, stock-based compensation and employer-related taxes, acquisition costs, and amortization of intangible assets, and (vii) non-GAAP operating expenses which include non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative expense exclude stock based compensation and employer-related taxes, acquisition related costs, and amortization of intangible assets.

Cornerstone OnDemand’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 Cornerstone OnDemand’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. However, it is important to note that the particular items Cornerstone excludes from, or includes in, its non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry.

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. 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.

1		Due to purchase accounting rules, upon acquisition, Cornerstone recorded an adjustment of $1.6 million to reduce the balance of deferred revenue related to the assumed client contracts acquired from Sonar Limited. As a result of this adjustment, $0.2 million of revenue was not recognized during the year ended December 31, 2013, and $0.3 million and $1.4 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012, respectively. Therefore, revenue is adjusted by an increase of $0.2 million to arrive at non-GAAP revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013, and $0.3 million and $1.4 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012, respectively.
