Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding Apigee's anticipated growth and trends in its business, total revenue, license revenue, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, and gross billings for the company's fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year 2015. Words such as "expect," "will," "believes," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult or impossible to predict. Consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements as a result of such uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances, including without limitation risks and uncertainties related to Apigee's limited operating history and experience developing and introducing new products; risks associated with its history of losses and its expectation of incurring losses for the foreseeable future; risks associated with the potential significant fluctuation of its future quarterly results; risks associated with the seasonality of its business and variance in quarterly bookings, license revenue and cash flows from operations; risks associated with the effective management of its growth; risks associated with the role its strategic relationships with third parties plays in its growth; risks associated with market acceptance of its platform and Edge product; risks associated with Apigee's ability to meet its customers' needs for infrastructure capacity and the quality of its software, support and services; risks associated with Apigee's ability to obtain renewals from current customers; and risks associated with its revenue mix.   

The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional risks and uncertainties that could affect Apigee's financial and operating results are included under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in Apigee's 424(b) prospectus dated April 23, 2015 filed with the SEC. Apigee's SEC filings are available on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at http://investors.apigee.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.  Apigee disclaims any obligation to update the forward-looking statements provided to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Apigee provides the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release and in the earnings call referencing this press release: gross billings, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, and non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding.  These non-GAAP items are key measures used by our management to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends.  In particular, because these measures exclude certain non-cash expenses, they can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business.

Apigee uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its operating results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating its ongoing operational performance. Apigee believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, their most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.  A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.  Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We calculate non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations and non-GAAP net loss as the respective GAAP balances, adjusted for: (1) stock-based compensation and (2) the amortization of intangible assets.  Except with respect to Q4 2015, non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated as non-GAAP net loss divided by the non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding that are adjusted to assume the conversion of outstanding preferred shares to common shares as of the beginning of the period. For Q4 2015, non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated as non-GAAP net loss divided by GAAP weighted average shares outstanding.

We define gross billings as our total revenue plus the change in our deferred revenue in a period. Gross billings in any period consists of sales to new customers plus renewals and additional sales to existing customers. Our management uses gross billings as a performance measurement because we generally bill our customers at the time of sale of our solutions and recognize revenue either upon delivery or ratably over subsequent periods, and a portion of our revenue may be recognized over a period of more than 12 months.  We believe that gross billings provides valuable insight into the sales of our solutions and the performance of our business.

With respect to Apigee's outlook under "Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2015 Guidance" and "Full Year Fiscal 2015 Guidance" above, Apigee has not reconciled its expectations regarding non-GAAP loss from operations to GAAP loss from operations, nor reconciled non-GAAP net loss per share to GAAP net loss per share, because stock-based compensation expenses cannot be reasonably predicted and calculated.  Accordingly, reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.
