Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Callidus has provided in this release its expectations regarding non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP net income is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Callidus uses non-GAAP measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Callidus' operating performance. Callidus believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional insight for investors to use in evaluation of ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial measures with other companies in Callidus' industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As noted, the non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense pursuant to SFAS 123(R), restructuring expense and amortization of acquired intangibles. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information pre pared in accordance with GAAP.
