______________________________
1 On January 1, 2018, Ellie Mae adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method, which replaced the previous accounting standard ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. While the financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2018 are presented under ASC 606, financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2017 are presented under ASC 605. A reconciliation of the financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2018 under ASC 606 and ASC 605, as well as a reconciliation of other non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, is presented in the “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” table included in this release.
2 Closed loans consist of loans originated (which excludes correspondent purchased loans or brokered loans) on the Encompass Digital Lending Platform, which is calculated by adding the loans reported to us as originated by our Success Based Pricing lenders and estimating the number of loans originated by the small percentage of lenders that are purely on a subscription service.

Subsequent Event
On February 12, 2019, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Thoma Bravo, LLC in an all-cash transaction that values the Company at an aggregate value of approximately $3.7 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company’s stockholders will receive $99.00 per share in cash upon the closing of the transaction. Closing of the transaction is subject to approval by Ellie Mae stockholders and regulatory authorities and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.�The transaction is currently expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2019 and is not subject to a financial condition.
Upcoming Events
As a result of the proposed merger (the “Merger”), the Company will not host an earnings conference call or provide financial guidance. Similarly, the Company will no longer host its Analyst Meeting, which was scheduled to take place in conjunction with the Company’s user event in March 2019.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Ellie Mae provides investors with the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted gross profit in addition to the traditional GAAP operating performance measure of net income (loss) as part of its overall assessment of its performance. In addition, Ellie Mae provides investors with the non-GAAP financial measures under ASC 605 to compare against the Company’s GAAP financial measures under ASC 606. Ellie Mae adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method with the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. The comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect in those prior periods. Adjusted net income consists of net income (loss) plus stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition-related costs, and non-GAAP income tax adjustments. EBITDA consists of net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and income tax provision, less other income, net and income tax benefit. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus stock-based compensation expense and acquisition-related costs. Adjusted gross profit consists of gross profit plus stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles that are included in cost of revenues. Ellie Mae uses adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted gross profit as measures of operating performance because they enable period to period comparisons by excluding potential differences caused by variations in the age and depreciable lives of fixed assets, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition-related costs, and changes in interest expense and interest income that are influenced by capital market conditions. Ellie Mae also believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation expense from adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted gross profit because the amount of non-cash expense associated with stock-based awards made at certain prices and points in time (a) do not necessarily reflect how Ellie Mae’s business is performing at any particular time and (b) can vary significantly between periods due to the timing of new stock-based awards. The non-GAAP income tax adjustments are calculated based on the annual non-GAAP effective tax rate, which quantifies the tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of Ellie Mae’s financial performance under GAAP and have limitations as analytical tools. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss), operating income (loss), gross profit, or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Ellie Mae cautions that other companies in Ellie Mae’s industry may calculate adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted gross profit differently than Ellie Mae does, further limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, and gross profit to adjusted gross profit is included in the tables below.
