Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
*Compuware acquired Gomez on November 9, 2009; only revenue following the acquisition date is included in the Q3 GAAP comparisons of total APM revenues and non-mainframe solutions revenues. On a pro forma basis APM revenue grew 11.6 percent. Non-mainframe solutions revenues grew 9.4 percent on a pro forma basis.
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the financial information included with this press release uses non-GAAP measures for revenue. The non-GAAP revenue disclosures provide information on total products commitments and pro forma revenue for Gomez subscription fees as if their results were included in the comparable prior year period. Compuware management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors’ understanding and assessment of Compuware’s ongoing core operations and prospects for the future. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP informat ion in operating and evaluating its business and as such has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP information is contained in the financial statements following this press release.

A significant portion of the company's product software revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual term of the arrangement. Therefore, to supplement the understanding of Compuware's software business, we believe it is important to also consider the amount of product commitments, which represents the full contractual value of each product software arrangement entered into during the reporting period.
