"We have made strong progress transitioning from a services and software company – to a true enterprise software company and we believe our platform is instrumental in transforming the way enterprises connect with their business partners, suppliers and customers. I am confident that the steps we are taking provide a strong foundation for our future success."

First Quarter Fiscal 2015 Business Highlights
In the first quarter, Covisint:
- Announced Covisint's Certified Service Partner Program. During the quarter Covisint announced partnerships with CitiusTech, Lochbridge and Perficient – the program will provide certified training and increased technical support on the Covisint platform to enable these partners to develop on our platform.
- Was recognized by Gartner, Inc. as a Leader in its first ever "Magic Quadrant for Identity Access Management as a Service (IDaaS)," published June 2, 2014. The Magic Quadrant positions vendors on their ability to execute and completeness of vision. With this recognition, Covisint has now been positioned in the three Magic Quadrants of the three key pillars for enterprise digital transformation - security, integration and presentation.
- Was the keynote speaker and participant on two panel discussions on the future of automotive connectivity at Telematics Detroit 2014, the world's largest forum dedicated to the future of connected auto mobility. Covisint also made available at the show a whitepaper titled "Creating a Frictionless Ownership Experience for the Connected Consumer".
- Announced that Covisint was named a "major player" by independent analyst firm IDC in the report: IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Federated Identity Management and Single Sign-On 2014 Vendor Assessment (IDC #247097, March 2014).
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), Covisint monitors non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain items (the impact of stock award compensation expense, the amortization of intangible assets and amounts incurred for capitalized internal software costs) and, therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Covisint monitors these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its ongoing operational performance and enhance an overall understanding of its past financial performance. Covisint believes that these non-GAAP metrics help illustrate underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses, as well as the related tax effects, that are excluded in non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. Furthermore, Covisint uses these measures to establish budgets and operational goals for managing its business and evaluating its performance. Covisint also believes that these non-GAAP measures provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing its recurring core business operating results over multiple periods against other companies in its industry.
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. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating its business internally and as such has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.
