SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2014 was $143.7 million, representing a 34% increase over the same period in the prior year.

Cash flows from operations were $16.3 million in the third quarter of 2014, up from $14.6 million in the same period in the prior year.

On a GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter of 2014 was $29.3 million, or $(0.38) per share, as compared to a net loss of $16.8 million, or $(0.23) per share, in the third quarter of 2013.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2014 was $8.3 million, or $0.11 per share, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $6.9 million, or $0.09 per share, in the third quarter of 2013.

"The Cloud giveth, and the Cloud taketh away. While NetSuite reported our ninth consecutive quarter of more than 30% year-over-year revenue growth and Q3 profitability well ahead of our outlook, SAP experienced a sixth straight quarter of declining license sales and announced negatively impacted margins based on the move of customers to the cloud," said Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite. "The shift from antiquated software such as SAP and Microsoft to NetSuite's modern cloud-native solution is transforming the capabilities of small, medium and large organizations around the globe."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our stated results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating income, net income, weighted average shares outstanding, and net income per share. Non-GAAP operating income excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and transaction costs for business combinations. Non-GAAP net income excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, transaction costs for business combinations, non-cash interest expense on convertible debt and income tax benefits associated with business combination. Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income exclude 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. We believe these adjustments provide useful comparative information to investors.

We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of our operating performance and are used by our 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 our 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 operating income, net income, weighted average shares outstanding and net income per share, which are adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, transaction costs for business combinations, non-cash interest expense on convertible debt, income tax benefits associated with business combination and includes 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 are an indication of our baseline performance that 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 operating loss, 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.

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:




    (a)               Stock-based compensation is a non-
                      cash expense accounted for in
                      accordance with FASB ASC Topic
                      718.  We believe that the
                      exclusion of stock-based
                      compensation expense allows for
                      financial results that are more
                      indicative of our operational
                      performance and provide for a
                      useful comparison of our operating
                      results to prior periods and to
                      our peer companies because stock-
                      based compensation expense varies
                      from period to period and company
                      to company due to such things as
                      differing valuation methodologies
                      and changes in stock price.
                      Additionally, we capitalize equity
                      based compensation costs in
                      connection with our capitalization
                      of internally developed software
                      costs.  These equity based
                      compensation costs are included in
                      cost of revenue when the
                      internally developed software
                      costs are amortized.  As such, we
                      included these costs in the stock-
                      based compensation line item to
                      determine both non-GAAP operating
                      income and non-GAAP net income.


    (b)               Amortization of intangible assets
                      and transaction costs, which
                      include employee severance and
                      facility closing costs, related to
                      business combinations resulted
                      principally from mergers and
                      acquisitions.  Expense for the
                      amortization of intangible assets
                      is a non-cash item, and we
                      believe that the exclusion of this
                      amortization expense provides for
                      a useful comparison of our
                      operating results to prior periods
                      and to our peer companies.
                      Business combinations result in
                      non-continuing operating expenses
                      which would not otherwise have
                      been incurred in the normal course
                      of our business operations.  We
                      believe that the exclusion of
                      acquisition related expense items
                      allows for financial results that
                      are more indicative of our
                      continuing operations and provide
                      for a useful comparison of our
                      operating results to prior periods
                      and to our peer companies.


    (c)               During the second quarter of 2013,
                      we issued $310.0 million in senior
                      convertible debt with a coupon
                      interest rate of 0.25%.  Interest
                      is paid semiannually on June 1 and
                      December 1 over the five year term
                      of the debt.  In connection with
                      this convertible debt, we are
                      required to recognize non-cash
                      interest expense, including debt
                      transaction costs, in accordance
                      with the authoritative accounting
                      guidance for convertible debt that
                      may be settled in cash. We exclude
                      this incremental non-cash
                      interest expense, including debt
                      transaction costs, for purposes of
                      calculating non-GAAP net income
                      and non-GAAP net income per
                      share. We believe that excluding
                      these expenses from our non-GAAP
                      measures is useful to investors
                      because the incremental interest
                      expense does not represent a cash
                      outflow for the company and the
                      debt transaction costs do not
                      represent a cash outflow for the
                      company except in the period the
                      debt was issued and therefore both
                      are not indicative of our
                      continuing operations or
                      meaningful in evaluating current
                      versus past business results.
                      Finally, we believe that non-GAAP
                      measures of profitability that
                      exclude non-cash interest expense
                      and debt transaction costs are
                      widely used by analysts and
                      investors.


    (d)               In connection with our business
                      acquisition in the fourth quarter
                      of 2013, we recorded an income tax
                      benefit that reduced our income
                      tax provision.  The income tax
                      benefit is a non-cash item that
                      would not otherwise have been
                      incurred in the normal course of
                      our business operations.  We
                      believe that the exclusion of
                      acquisition related items allows
                      for financial results that are
                      more indicative of our continuing
                      operations and provide for a
                      useful comparison of our operating
                      results to prior periods and to
                      our peer companies.


    (e)               These securities are anti-dilutive
                      on a GAAP basis as a result of our
                      net loss, but are considered
                      dilutive on a non-GAAP basis in
                      periods where we reported positive
                      non-GAAP earnings.



                                                                  NetSuite Inc.
