Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Support.com excludes warrant-related charges and stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and other, restructuring and impairment charges, acquisition expense, other non-recurring items and tax expense associated with acquired goodwill from its GAAP results in order to determine the non-GAAP financial measures of income (loss) from continuing operations and income (loss) from continuing operations per share referenced in this document. We believe that the non-GAAP measures, when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP results, assist investors in understanding our results of operations.
A. Warrant-related charges. When evaluating its operating performance management excludes warrant-related charges against revenue in the period in which performance milestones are met and warrants are earned and issued because the Company does not incur such non-cash charges on a predictable basis and exclusion of such charges enables more consistent evaluation of the Company's operating performance. Warrant-related charge was zero for the second quarter of 2014, the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014.
B. Stock-based compensation expense. Management excludes stock-based compensation expense when evaluating its operating performance because such expense does not require cash settlement and because such expense is not used by management to assess the Company's operating performance. Stock-based compensation expense was $633,000 in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $768,000 in the second quarter of 2013 and $622,000 in the first quarter of 2014.
C. Amortization of intangible assets and other. Management excludes acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and other charges when evaluating its operating performance because the Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle and excluding such charges enables more consistent evaluation of the Company's operating performance. Management also excludes such charges because they represent non-cash expenses. Amortization of intangible assets and other was $273,000 in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $335,000 in the second quarter of 2013 and $273,000 in the first quarter of 2014.
D. Restructuring and impairment charges. Management excludes restructuring and impairment charges when evaluating its operating performance because the Company does not undertake restructurings on a predicable basis and excluding such charges enables more consistent evaluation of the Company's operating performance. Restructuring and impairment charges were zero in the second quarter of 2014, the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014.
E. Acquisition expense. Management excludes acquisition expense such as legal and advisor fees when evaluating its operating performance because the Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle and excluding such expense enables more consistent evaluation of the Company's operating performance. Acquisition expense was zero in the second quarter of 2014, the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014.
F. Other non-recurring items. Management excludes non-recurring items when evaluating its operating performance because the Company does not incur such expenses or obtain such benefits on a predictable basis and exclusion of such expenses or benefits enables more consistent evaluation of the Company's operating performance. Other non-recurring items resulted in expense of $150,000 in the second quarter of 2014 for patent litigation settlement, no expense or benefit in the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014.
G. Tax expense associated with acquired goodwill. The Company is required to record a deferred tax liability and the related tax expense that results from the amortization for income tax purposes of acquired goodwill. Management excludes tax expense associated with acquired goodwill when evaluating its operating performance because the Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle and excluding such expense enables more consistent evaluation of the Company's operating performance. Tax expense associated with acquired goodwill was $71,000 in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $82,000 in the second quarter of 2013 and $71,000 in the first quarter of 2014.
The Company believes that non-GAAP measures have significant limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's financial results in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. In addition, the exclusion of the items indicated above from the non-GAAP financial measures presented does not indicate an expectation by management that such items will not be incurred in subsequent periods.

| The adjustments above reconcile the Company's GAAP financial results to the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures exclude warrant-related charges, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and other, restructuring and impairment charges, acquisition expense, other non-recurring items and tax expense associated with acquired goodwill. The Company believes that presentation of these non-GAAP items provides meaningful supplemental information to investors, when viewed in conjunction with, and not in lieu of, the Company's GAAP results. However, the non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. See the text of this press release for more information on non-GAAP financial measures. | ||||||||
