Financial Outlook

As of May 8, 2012, Jive initiates guidance for its second quarter 2012, and issues improved guidance for the full year 2012, as follows:

• Second Quarter 2012 Guidance: Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $26.0 million to $27.0 million. Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be in the range of $6.5 million to $7.5 million. Non-GAAP loss per share is expected to be in the range of $0.11 to $0.12 based on approximately 61.9 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

• Full Year 2012 Guidance: Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $110.0 million to $113.5 million. Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be in the range of $22.0 million to $24.0 million. Non-GAAP loss per share is expected to be in the range of $0.38 to $0.42 based on approximately 62.0 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. Free cash flow is expected to be in the range of ($5.0) million to ($7.0) million.

With respect to the Company’s expectations under “Financial Outlook” above, the Company has not reconciled non-GAAP loss from operations or non-GAAP loss per share to GAAP loss from operations and GAAP loss per share because the Company does not provide guidance for stock-based compensation, income taxes or amortization of intangible assets, which are reconciling items between those Non-GAAP and GAAP measures. As items that impact GAAP loss from operations and GAAP loss per share are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, the Company is unable to provide such guidance. Accordingly, a reconciliation to GAAP loss from operations and GAAP loss per share is not available without unreasonable effort.

Quarterly Conference Call

Jive will host a conference call today at 2:00 p.m. PT (5:00 p.m. ET) to review the Company’s financial results for the first quarter 2012, in addition to discussing the Company’s outlook for the second quarter 2012 and updated guidance for the full year 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Non-GAAP gross profit, loss from operations, net loss and net loss per share exclude stock-based compensation expenses, non-recurring expenses related to acquisitions, amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, and changes in fair value of warrant liabilities. Total billings is defined by the Company as revenue plus the change in total deferred revenue. Management presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the Company’s performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company’s financial and operational performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We intend to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in the accompanying tables.
