Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains, and statements made during the above referenced conference call will contain, "forward-looking" statements, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including regarding the Company's business momentum and customer growth, product adoption, the Company's research and development efforts and future product releases, and the Company's expectations regarding future revenues, expenses and net income or loss. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, but are based on management's expectations as of the date of this press release and assumptions that are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include the following: risks associated with anticipated growth in Tableau's addressable market; competitive factors, including changes in the competitive environment, pricing changes, sales cycle time and increased competition; Tableau's ability to build and expand its direct sales efforts and reseller distribution channels; general economic and industry conditions, including expenditure trends for business intelligence and productivity tools; new product introductions and Tableau's ability to develop and deliver innovative products; Tableau's ability to provide high-quality service and support offerings; risks associated with international operations; and macroeconomic conditions. These and other important risk factors are described more fully in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Tableau's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 8, 2015, and other reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and could cause actual results to vary from expectations. All information provided in this release and in the conference call is as of the date hereof and Tableau undertakes no duty to update this information except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Tableau believes that the use of non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss) and operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted common share is helpful to its investors. These measures, which are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures, are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Non-GAAP gross profit is calculated by excluding stock-based compensation expense attributable to cost of revenues from gross profit. Non-GAAP gross margin is the ratio calculated by dividing non-GAAP gross profit by revenues. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) is calculated by excluding stock-based compensation expense from operating income (loss). Non-GAAP operating margin is the ratio calculated by dividing non-GAAP operating income (loss) by revenues. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is calculated by excluding stock-based compensation expense and related income tax adjustments from net income (loss). Non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted common share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding includes the effect of dilutive shares in periods of non-GAAP net income. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company's non-cash expenses, Tableau believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense allow for more meaningful comparisons between its operating results from period to period. All of these non-GAAP financial measures are important tools for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating Tableau's own operating results over different periods of time.

Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in Tableau's industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on Tableau's reported financial results. Further, stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in Tableau's business and an important part of the compensation provided to its employees. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Tableau's business. International revenues as described above represent revenues outside the United States and Canada.

    (1)              During fiscal 2015, the Company
                      began to utilize a fixed
                      projected non-GAAP tax rate for
                      each quarter in a fiscal year in
                      its computation of non-GAAP net
                      income (loss) in order to provide
                      better consistency across interim
                      reporting periods by eliminating
                      the effects of non-recurring and
                      period-specific items, because
                      each of these items can vary in
                      size and frequency. To determine
                      this long-term rate, the Company
                      evaluated a three-year financial
                      projection that excludes the
                      impact of non-cash stock-based
                      compensation expense. The
                      projected rate takes into account
                      other factors including the
                      Company's current tax structure,
                      its existing tax positions in
                      various jurisdictions and key
                      legislation in major
                      jurisdictions where the Company
                      operates. The non-GAAP tax rate
                      the Company will utilize for
                      fiscal 2015 is 43%. The non-GAAP
                      tax rate assumes the federal R&D
                      tax credit is not extended. The
                      Company will provide updates to
                      this tax rate on an annual basis,
                      or if material changes occur,
                      such as the extension of the R&D
                      tax credit.


    (2)              During fiscal 2015, the Company
                     updated our calculation of non-
                     GAAP diluted net income (loss)
                     per share which now includes the
                     effect of potentially dilutive
                     shares related to stock awards in
                     periods of non-GAAP net income
                     and GAAP net loss. This change
                     impacted the three months ended
                     June 30, 2014 diluted non-GAAP
                     net income per share by $0.01.
                     There were no other impacts to
                     the comparable prior year
                     periods.
