"NetSuite's Q4 showed the benefit of being the disrupter rather than a disruptee, as our Cloud Computing suite continued to take market share from traditional mid-market and enterprise ERP vendors. The acceleration of our business that we saw throughout the year continued into Q4, and we turned in a Q4 that could be considered our best quarter ever as a public company," said Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite. "As we enter 2012, I believe we are the best positioned company to benefit from the shift to the Cloud as customers abandon aging mission critical systems designed before the Web existed and move to NetSuite."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company's stated results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating income, net income, weighted average shares outstanding, and net income per share. Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income exclude expenses related to stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, transaction costs for business combinations and costs associated with the settlement of a patent dispute. Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income exclude these expenses as they are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business, and in the case of stock-based compensation, can be difficult to predict. The Company believes these adjustments provide useful comparative information to investors.
The Company considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the Company and are used by the Company's management for that purpose. In addition, investors often use measures such as these to evaluate the operating performance of a company. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the Company's operating results. The non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
