FORWARDING LOOKING STATEMENTS &
NON-GAAP MEASURES
This presentation and the accompanying oral commentary contain “forward-looking” statements, within the meaning of the safe
harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on our beliefs and assumptions
and on information currently available to us. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or
assumed future results of operations and financial performance, business strategies, potential growth opportunities and the
effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by
terms such as “believe,” “will,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “might, ”approximately,”
“expect,” “predict,” “could,” “potentially” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause
our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Important risk factors including, but not limited to, risks
associated with anticipated growth in our addressable market; our potential market opportunity; competitive factors, our ability
to build and expand our sales efforts, risks associated with international operations and general economic and industry
conditions are described more fully in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, which
was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 2, 2016 and other documents filed with the
SEC and could cause actual results to vary from expectations.
Forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this presentation.
Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the
reasons why actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, even if new
information becomes available in the future.
This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial
measures are in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures
versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently
or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial
measures as tools for comparison. As required by Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation of those measures to the
most directly comparable GAAP measures, which is available in the appendix.

    FORWARDING LOOKING STATEMENTS& NON-GAAP MEASURES This presentation and the accompanying oral commentary contain “forward-looking” statements, within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on our beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to us. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations and financial performance, business strategies, potential growth opportunities and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “believe,” “will,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “might, ”approximately,” “expect,” “predict,” “could,” “potentially” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Important risk factors including, but not limited to, risks associated with anticipated growth in our addressable market; our potential market opportunity; competitive factors, our ability to build and expand our sales efforts, risks associated with international operations and general economic and industry conditions are described more fully in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 2, 2016 and other documents filed with the SEC and could cause actual results to vary from expectations.

Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. As required by Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which is available in the appendix. 2
