Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect Apigee's business and the price of the common stock of Apigee, (ii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the adoption of the merger agreement by the stockholders of Apigee and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to termination of the merger agreement, (iv) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on Apigee's business relationships, operating results, and business generally, (v) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of Google or Apigee, including disruptions to relationships with customers, licensees, and other business partners of Apigee and potential difficulties in Apigee employee retention as a result of the transaction, (vi) risks related to diverting management's attention from Apigee's ongoing business operations, and (vii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Google or against Apigee related to the merger agreement or the transaction.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Apigee provides the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release: gross billings, product gross billings, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP net loss per share. These non-GAAP items are key measures used by our management to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends. In particular, because a number of 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 margin, non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss as the respective GAAP balances, adjusted for: (1) stock-based compensation and (2) the amortization of intangible assets. Non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated as non-GAAP net loss divided by GAAP weighted average shares outstanding, except with respect to FY 15.  For FY 15, non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated as non-GAAP net loss divided by non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding. The non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding are adjusted to assume the conversion of outstanding preferred shares to common shares as of the beginning of the period.

We define gross billings as our total revenue plus the change in our deferred revenue in a period. We define product gross billings as our total product revenue (where product is defined as license, subscription and support) plus the change in our license, subscription and support deferred revenue in a period. Gross billings and product gross billings in any period consists of sales to new customers plus renewals and additional sales to existing customers. Our management uses gross billings and product gross billings as a performance measurement because we believe that gross billings and product gross billings provide valuable insight into the sales of our solutions and the performance of our business. On certain transactions, a portion of gross billings will be recognized as revenue over a period of more than 12 months. We do not consider gross billings as a substitute for revenue recognition or revenue measurement.
