The preliminary financial results and key business metrics above for the three months and fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 are based upon our estimates and subject to completion of our financial closing procedures. Moreover, this data has been prepared solely on the basis of currently available information by, and is the responsibility of, Okta. This summary is not a comprehensive statement of our financial results for this period, and our actual results may differ materially from these estimates due to the completion of our financial closing procedures, final adjustments, and other developments that may arise between now and the time our financial statements are filed with the SEC. Okta expects to release its final results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2018, as well as provide its outlook for the first quarter and fiscal year 2019, after market close on March 7th, 2018 and will host a conference call in conjunction with that release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating loss and calculated billings. Non-GAAP operating loss excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and charitable contributions.
Okta believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Oktas financial condition and results of operations. The Companys management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Companys performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis, for purposes of determining executive and senior management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. The Company 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 and in comparing the Companys financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Management of the Company does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Companys financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Okta urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing quarterly financial results, including this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Companys business.
Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are included with the financial tables in this release.
