Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, SourceForge also reports non-GAAP
financial results. Non-GAAP loss and non-GAAP earnings per share reflect net
loss and exclude stock-based compensation expense and impairment of
cost-method investment charge. These non-GAAP financial results are provided
to enhance the reader's overall understanding of SourceForge's current
financial performance and prospects for the future. Specifically, SourceForge
believes that non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management
and investors by excluding certain expenses that SourceForge believes are not
indicative of its core operating results and stock-based compensation.
SourceForge considers its core operating results to include revenue recorded
in a particular period and the related expenses that are intended to directly
drive operating income during that period. In addition, because SourceForge
has historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community,
SourceForge believes the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in
financial reporting. Further, these non-GAAP results are one of the primary
indicators management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods. The
method SourceForge uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according
to GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and
should not be regarded as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
These non-GAAP financial results are derived from GAAP net loss by
excluding impairment of cost-basis investment charge and stock-based
compensation expenses. Impairment of cost-method investment charge is excluded
from SourceForge's GAAP financial measures because it represents non-cash
charges which are not representative of SourceForge's core operations. With
respect to stock-based compensation, SourceForge recognizes expenses
associated with stock-based compensation that requires management to make
assumptions about SourceForge's common stock such as expected future stock
price volatility, the anticipated duration of outstanding stock options and
awards and the rate at which SourceForge recognizes the corresponding
stock-based compensation expense over the course of future fiscal periods.
While other forms of SourceForge expense (such as cash compensation, inventory
costs and real estate costs) are reasonably correlated to SourceForge's
underlying business and such costs are incurred principally or wholly in the
particular fiscal period being reported, stock-based compensation expense is
not reasonably correlated to the particular fiscal period in question but
rather is based on expected future events that have no relationship (and in
certain instances, an inverse relationship) with how well SourceForge
currently operates its business.
These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management and investors in
addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.
These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects
of SourceForge's operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the
accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide
a more complete understanding of SourceForge's underlying operational results
and trends in our performance. Further, SourceForge believes that the
financial analysts who regularly follow and report on SourceForge and the
business sector in which SourceForge competes exclude items such as these when
analyzing performance relative to guidance, as well as their financial
performance estimates and the performance of other sector participants, and in
projecting future financial results.
