Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
The non-GAAP adjustments referenced herein relate to the
exclusion of stock-based compensation and amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets. A reconciliation of GAAP to
non-GAAP historical financial measures has been provided in Table I
at the end of this press release. A reconciliation of GAAP to
non-GAAP guidance has been provided in Table II at the end of this
press release.
Workiva believes that the use of non-GAAP gross profit and gross
margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income
(loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is helpful to its
investors. These measures, which are referred to as non-GAAP
financial measures, are not prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP.
Non-GAAP gross profit is calculated by excluding stock-based
compensation expense attributable to cost of revenues from gross
profit. Non-GAAP gross margin is the ratio calculated by dividing
non-GAAP gross profit by revenues. Non-GAAP income (loss) from
operations is calculated by excluding stock-based compensation
expense and amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible
assets from loss from operations. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is
calculated by excluding stock-based compensation expense, net of
tax and amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible
assets from net loss. Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is
calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by the weighted-
average shares outstanding as presented in the calculation of GAAP
net loss per share. Because of varying available valuation
methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity
instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash expenses, Workiva
believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude
stock-based compensation expense allows for more meaningful
comparisons between its operating results from period to period.
For business combinations, we generally allocate a portion of the
purchase price to intangible assets. The amount of the allocation
is based on estimates and assumptions made by management and is
subject to amortization. The amount of purchase price allocated to
intangible assets and the term of its related amortization can vary
significantly and are unique to each acquisition and thus we do not
believe it is reflective of ongoing operations. Workiva’s
management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as tools for
financial and operational decision making and for evaluating
Workiva’s own operating results over different periods of time.
Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is
directly comparable to that provided by other companies in
Workiva’s industry, as other companies in the industry may
calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition,
there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because
the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with
GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by
other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material
impact on Workiva’s reported financial results. Further,
stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be
for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in
Workiva’s business and an important part of the compensation
provided to its employees. The presentation of non-GAAP financial
information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared
in accordance with GAAP. Investors should review the reconciliation
of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial
measures included below, and not rely on any single financial
measure to evaluate Workiva’s business.
