Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, this press release uses a non-GAAP measure of net income and earnings per share. The net income and earnings per share disclosures on a non-GAAP basis excluded the impact of restructuring charges and capitalized software impairment. See the attached “Reconciliation of non-GAAP Information” schedule for complete details. Compuware management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release helps investors better understand and assess Compuware’s ongoing core operations and prospects for the future. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in operating and evaluating its business and as such has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.
