| Copyright © 2011 Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. A Connected Community of Health 32 Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Allscripts reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. To supplement this information, in this presentation Allscripts provides total non-GAAP revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income, including non-GAAP net income on a per share basis, which are non-GAAP financial measures under Section 101 of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Total non-GAAP revenue consists of GAAP revenue as reported and Eclipsys revenue for periods prior to the August 24, 2010 consummation of the 2010 merger with Eclipsys (2010 Merger) and adds back the acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustment booked for GAAP purposes. Total non-GAAP gross profit consists of GAAP gross profit as reported and Eclipsys gross profit for periods prior to the consummation of the 2010 Merger and adds back the acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustment booked for GAAP purposes. Total non-GAAP operating income consists of GAAP operating income as reported and Eclipsys operating income for periods prior to the consummation of the 2010 Merger and adds back the acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustment booked for GAAP purposes and excludes acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense and transaction-related expenses. Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income as reported and includes Eclipsys net income for periods prior to the consummation of the 2010 Merger, excludes acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense and transaction-related expenses, adds back the acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustment, in each case net of any related tax effects. Management believes that non-GAAP revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income and non-GAAP net income on a per share basis provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the underlying performance of the company's business operations and facilitates comparisons of the separate 2010 pre-merger results of legacy Allscripts and legacy Eclipsys to that of the company's 2010 post-merger results. Acquisition accounting adjustments made in accordance with GAAP can make it difficult to make meaningful comparisons of the underlying operations of the business without considering the non-GAAP adjustments that we have provided and discussed herein. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting as it believes that the measure is indicative of the company's core operating results. In addition, the company uses non-GAAP revenue, operating income and/or net income to measure achievement under the company's stock and cash incentive compensation plans. Note, however, that non-GAAP revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income and non-GAAP net income on a per share basis are performance measures only, and they do not provide any measure of the company's cash flow or liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Allscripts results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. |
