(1) Calculated as of a period end by starting with the annual contract value (ACV) from customers as of 12 months prior to such period end (Prior Period ACV) and a subscription term of at least 12 months. We then calculate ACV from the same customers as of the current period end (Current Period ACV).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release presents EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share information, which are provided to investors to supplement the results of operations reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We define these terms as follows:
· Adjusted EBITDA: operating income before depreciation and amortization expense, stock based compensation expense, costs associated with the investigation and restatement of our historical financial statements, acquisition related costs and non-recurring costs related to our former CEO’s performance cash awards and restatement bonuses.
· Adjusted Net Income: net income before costs relating to non-cash stock based compensation, costs associated with the investigation and restatement of our historical financial statements, costs associated with acquisitions and non-recurring costs related to our former CEO’s performance cash awards and restatement bonuses, net of tax.
These supplemental measures of the Company’s performance are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operational performance and trends and in comparing its financial measures with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to help investors understand the operational performance of their businesses. However, it is important to note that the particular items the Company excludes from, or includes in, its non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure see Schedule 4: Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Operating Results in this earnings release.
Safe Harbor Statement
Statements made in this press release that state Diligent’s or management’s intentions, beliefs, expectations, or predictions for the future are forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned that these statements are only predictions and may differ materially from actual future events or results. All forward looking-statements are only as of the date of this press release and Diligent undertakes no obligation to update or revise them. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause Diligent’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements. For example, if we do not successfully develop or introduce new product offerings, or enhancements to our existing Diligent Boards offerings, or keep pace with technological changes that impact the use of our product offerings, or suffer security breaches or service interruptions, we may lose existing customers or fail to attract new customers and our financial performance and revenue growth may suffer. Factors which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements include, without limitation, economic, competitive, regulatory and technological factors affecting Diligent Corporation’s operations, markets, products, services and other factors set forth in the Company’s Risk Factors included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, filed with the SEC on November 9, 2015, and other
filings with the SEC which are available at www.sec.gov for an extended discussion of the risks confronting our business.
On February 12, 2016 we entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger to be acquired by affiliates of funds managed by Insight Venture Management LLC (“Insight”). On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, Diligent stockholders will receive US $4.90 per share in cash for each share of Diligent common stock upon consummation of the acquisition. Diligent’s entry into the merger agreement, its obligations thereunder, and the conditions to completion of the acquisition give rise to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements in this press release, including:
· The effect of the announcement or pendency of the merger on our business relationships, employee retention and recruitment, operating results and business generally;
· Risks that the merger could divert management’s or employees’ attention from our ongoing business operations;
· The outcome of or expenses relating to any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Diligent and others related to the merger agreement;
· The amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the merger agreement or the merger;
· The risk that the merger agreement may be terminated in circumstances that require Diligent to pay Insight a termination fee of US$19,463,000;
· The failure by Insight to obtain the necessary equity and debt financing set forth in the commitments entered into in connection with the merger;
· Despite Insight’s obligation to use reasonable best efforts to obtain the financing contemplated by its debt commitment letter, there is a risk that the debt financing might not be obtained and that, in certain instances, Diligent’s only viable recourse would be the USD$33,365,000 termination fee payable by Insight to Diligent;
· The merger may not be consummated within the expected time period or at all because of a number of factors, including the failure to obtain stockholder approval; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; or the failure to satisfy closing conditions to the merger, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and other customary closing conditions; and
· Diligent’s stock price may decline significantly if the merger is not completed.
