Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income per share and adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company defines non-GAAP operating income as its reported operating income (GAAP) excluding stock-compensation expense, one-time charges and other non-recurring operating costs and expenses. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as its non-GAAP net income before financial expenses, net, taxes on income, and excluding depreciation and amortization expense. The Company defines its non-GAAP net income to exclude non-recurring or unusual expenses. To calculate revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth rates that exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company converts actual reported results from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and comparable period.
