“I would sum up fiscal 2018 under the theme of ‘Doubling Down.’ We have done this in all areas of the company this past year, from our continued investment in and expansion of the capabilities on the Determine Cloud Platform, to key appointments of seasoned, industry experts on the leadership team and board, and to an even deeper focus on customer success and advocacy. These efforts are illustrated by our many advancements including the launch of our HIPAA compliance program which demonstrates our ongoing commitment to our valued – and growing - healthcare customers. We further expanded advanced capabilities across the entire modular Source-to-Pay and Contract Management continuum, often in collaboration with customer users. During Fiscal 2018, we seized the opportunity to bolster key positions within our Sales & Marketing, Partnership Management and Customer Success groups with veteran industry-recognized talent. These subject matter experts are critical to supporting our efforts to achieve our pipeline and customer success goals. Concurrently, we’ve formalized a company-wide program with the goal of improving overall satisfaction and converting customers into advocates. These efforts are resulting in significant customer-directed product innovation as well as creating additional sales and upsell opportunities. As I noted previously, our goal is to exceed expectations at every stage – especially those of our customers. We are redoubling our efforts as we move confidently down that path.”— Patrick Stakenas, President, CEO and Director, Determine, Inc.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share, which we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and future results. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations”. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenue is due to the impact of revaluing the deferred revenue balances acquired from primarily b-pack as required by GAAP purchase accounting.
The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit is the difference in GAAP versus non-GAAP revenues as well as the elimination of the amortization of acquisition related intangibles, stock based compensation and severance expense from the costs of revenue. Non-GAAP net loss excludes the non-GAAP gross profit items as well as acquisition related costs.
Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand and manage our business and forecast future periods; as such, we believe it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on our total operations. Further, please note that our non-GAAP revenue is intended to reflect the full amount of revenues that would have been otherwise recorded by the acquired entities of Iasta and b-pack, while our non-GAAP gross profit also excludes the amortization of intangibles that occurred due to the acquisition of the entities of Iasta and b-pack.
Annualized Bookings are an operating measure not derived from the company’s revenues or any other amounts presented in accordance with GAAP in the company’s statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows or other equivalent statements.
Forward-looking Statements
Certain statements in this release and elsewhere by Determine are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements may include, without limitation, statements regarding business outlook, assessment of market conditions, anticipated financial and operating results, strategies, product and channel development, future plans, contingencies and contemplated transactions of the company. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause or contribute to actual results of company operations, or the performance or achievements of the company or industry results, to differ materially from those expressed, or implied by the forward-looking statements. In addition to any such risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed elsewhere herein, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause or contribute to actual results differing materially from those expressed or implied for the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to fluctuations in demand for Determine’s products and services, risks of losing key personnel or customers, protection of the company’s intellectual property and government policies and regulations, including, but not limited to those affecting the company’s industry. Determine undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
