These forward-looking statements are based upon the current expectations and beliefs of NetSuite's management as of the date of this press release 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 in this press release are based on information available to us 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; 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 one or more of our data centers may occur; a security breach may impact operations; risks associated with material defects or errors in our 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 and effectively scale the organization; failure to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; assertions by third parties that we infringe their 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; evolving government regulation of the Internet, data privacy and ecommerce; changes to current accounting rules; changes in foreign exchange rates; 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 24, 2016 and any subsequently filed reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K.

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, transaction costs for business combinations and costs associated with Oracle's pending purchase of NetSuite. Non-GAAP net income excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, transaction costs for business combinations, costs associated with Oracle's pending purchase of NetSuite, non-cash interest expense on convertible debt and income tax benefit 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, costs associated with Oracle's pending purchase of NetSuite, non-cash interest expense on convertible debt and income tax benefits associated with business combinations 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 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 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 by us in
                         the normal course of our business
                         operations.  We believe 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)                  On July 28, 2016, NetSuite entered into a
                         definitive agreement to be acquired by
                         Oracle Corporation ("Oracle"). The
                         transaction is valued at $109.00 per share
                         in cash, or approximately $9.3 billion. The
                         Board of Directors has unanimously approved
                         the transaction. The consummation of the
                         transaction is pending the tender of
                         shareholder equity.  In connection with
                         this transaction, we incurred banking,
                         legal, accounting and other operating costs
                         which would not otherwise have been
                         incurred by us in the normal course of our
                         business operations.  We believe the
                         exclusion of Oracle related transaction
                         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.


    (d)                  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 transactions cost 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.


    (e)                  In connection with our business acquisition
                         in the third quarter of 2015, we recorded
                         an income tax benefit that reduced our
                         income tax provision in this quarter.  This
                         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.


    (f)                  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.
