This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking
statements include statements regarding our expectations regarding market share and our growth, the momentum in
our business, our forthcoming product lineup and our pipeline of business in 2012.

Although we attempt to be
accurate in making forward-looking statements, it is possible that future circumstances might differ from the
assumptions on which such statements are based. Important factors that could cause results to differ materially from
the statements herein include the following:

general economic risks; specific economic risks in different geographies  and among different customer segments; uncertainty regarding increased business and renewals from existing  customers; uncertainties around continued success in sales growth and market share gains; failure to convert sales  pipeline into final sales; risks associated with successful implementation of multiple integrated software products  and other product functionality risks; execution risks around new product introductions and innovation;

the ability to  attract and retain personnel; changes in strategy; risks associated with management of growth; lengthy sales and  implementation cycles, particularly in larger organizations; technological changes that make our products and
services less competitive; risks associated with the adoption of, and demand for, the UTM model in general and by

certain customer verticals; and the other risk factors set forth from time to time in our filings with the SEC, copies of
which are available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or upon request from our investor relations
department.

All forward-looking statements herein reflect our opinions only as of the date of this release, and we  undertake no obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update forward-looking statements herein in light
of new information or future events.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our
financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our
ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an
additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial
results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to
investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial  information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-  GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below. As previously  mentioned, a reconciliation of our 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.

Billings. We define billings as revenue recognized plus the change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end
of the period.  We consider billings to be a useful metric for management and investors because billings drive  deferred revenue, which is an important indicator of the health and visibility of our business, and has historically  represented a majority of the quarterly revenue that we recognize. There are a number of limitations related to the  use of billings versus revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP.  First, billings include amounts that have not yet  been recognized as revenue.

Second, we may calculate billings in a manner that is different from peer companies  that report similar financial measures. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific  information regarding GAAP revenue and evaluating billings together with revenues calculated in accordance with  GAAP.

Free Cash Flow. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures.
We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors
about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the acquisition of property and equipment, can be used
for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening the
balance sheet. Analysis of free cash flow facilitates management’s comparisons of our operating results to
competitors’ operating results.

A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided  by operating activities as a means for evaluating the Company is that free cash flow does not represent the total  increase or decrease in the cash balance from operations for the period because it excludes cash used for capital  expenditures. Management compensates for this limitation by providing information about our capital expenditures  on the face of the cash flow statement and under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and  Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin. We define non-GAAP operating income as operating income
plus stock-based compensation reduced by the income from payments we received from a patent settlement. Non-
GAAP operating margin is defined as non-GAAP operating income divided by revenue.

 

We consider these non- GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors because they exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense and patent settlement related income so that our management and investors can compare our recurring core business operating results over multiple periods. There are a number of limitations  related to the use of non-GAAP operating income versus operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP.
First, non-GAAP operating income excludes stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation has
been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. Second,
stock-based compensation is an important part of our employees’ compensation and impacts their performance.
Third, the components of the costs that we exclude in our calculation of non-GAAP operating income may differ
from the components that our peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP results of operations.
Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts
excluded from non-GAAP operating income and evaluating non-GAAP operating income together with operating
income calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share. We define non-GAAP net income as net income plus
stock-based compensation expense reduced by the income from payments we received from a patent settlement, less
the related tax effects. We define non-GAAP diluted net income per share as non-GAAP net income divided by the
weighted-average shares outstanding. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for
management and investors for the same reasons that we use non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating
margin. However, in order to provide a complete picture of our recurring core business operating results, we exclude
from non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share, the tax effects associated with stock-
based compensation and the patent settlement.

 

We believe the effective tax rates we used are reasonable estimates of long-term normalized tax rates under our global operating structure. The same limitations described above regarding our use of non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin apply to our use of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share and evaluating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share together with net income and diluted net income per share calculated in accordance with GAAP.
