Further information on these and other factors that could affect our financial results are included in our Form 10-Q that will be filed for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including our Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Adjusted revenues and the corresponding growth rates are derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period.

(2)

Adjusted billings and the corresponding growth rates are derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period, and by replacing the portion of multi-year billings in excess of twelve months during the current period with the portion of multi-year billings in excess of twelve months during the comparison period.

(3)

Effect of dilutive time-based stock awards, in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes and warrants are included in the GAAP weighted-average diluted shares in periods where we have GAAP net income. We exclude the in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes for non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares as they are covered by our note hedges. We include stock awards with performance conditions not yet satisfied for non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares at forecasted attainment levels to the extent we believe it is probable that the performance condition will be met.

Adjusted revenues and the corresponding growth rates are derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the exchange rates for the guidance period.

(2)

Adjusted billings and the corresponding growth rates are derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the exchange rates for the guidance period, and by replacing the portion of multi-year billings in excess of twelve months for the guidance period with the actual portion of multi-year billings in excess of twelve months during the comparison period.

(3)

Effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations and fluctuations in billing durations are not applicable for the comparison period.

(4)

GAAP net income or loss for the year ending December 31, 2019 will depend in part on a number of factors, including income taxes, costs associated with non-cash charges associated with equity awards which vary depending on the grant date stock price and actual attainment for our performance-based RSUs, business combinations and other related benefits or expenses which are not known at this time.
