Guidance:

As of July 10, 2014, E2open is providing guidance for its second quarter of fiscal 2015 as well as the full fiscal year 2015.

• Full Year Fiscal 2015 Guidance: Total GAAP revenue is expected to be in the range of $86.9 million to $89.4 million, including a $2.1 million impact to revenue, due to the aforementioned acceleration of revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 in connection with a contract amendment and the impact of purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue related to acquisitions. Excluding the aforementioned contract amendment and the purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue, total non-GAAP revenue is expected to be in the range of $89.0 million to $91.5 million. Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be in the range of ($16.2) million to ($15.2) million. Non-GAAP loss per share is expected to be in the range of ($0.54) to ($0.51) based on approximately 31.3 million weighted-average shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of ($14.0) million to ($13.0) million. Free cash flow is expected to be in the range of ($12.0) million to ($11.0) million. New and upsell subscriptions and support bookings are expected to be in the range of $91.5 million to $96.5 million, representing growth of approximately 29% to 36% compared to fiscal 2014.

Total non-GAAP revenue is expected to be in the range of $20.2 million to $21.0 million, which includes a $0.7 million impact to revenue, due to the aforementioned acceleration of revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 in connection with a contract amendment and the impact of purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue related to acquisitions. Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be in the range of ($6.1) million to ($5.4) million. Non-GAAP loss per share is expected to be in the range of ($0.20) to ($0.18) based on approximately 31.5 million weighted-average shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including total non-GAAP revenue, total non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, weighted-average shares outstanding, non-GAAP net loss per share, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. Non-GAAP loss from operations and non-GAAP net loss exclude expenses related to stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles, acquisition-related expenses, and non-cash income taxes, as they are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business and, in the case of stock-based compensation, can be difficult to predict. In addition, stock-based compensation expense varies from period to period and company to company due to such things as differing valuation methodologies and changes in stock price. Non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP loss from operations and non-GAAP net loss also exclude the impact of certain accelerated revenue recognized in connection with a contract amendment in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and the impact of purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue related to acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), adjusted for accelerated revenue from a contract amendment, the impact of purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue related to acquisitions, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest and other income (expense), net, benefit from (provision for) income taxes, amortization of acquired intangibles, and acquisition-related expenses. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures, adjusted for payment of acquisition-related expenses. Reconciliation tables are provided in this press release. Management believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitates period to period comparisons of results of operations, and also facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding our operating results. The non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

(1) These securities are anti-dilutive on a GAAP basis as a result of our net loss, but are included for non-GAAP net loss per share.
