Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial results prepared under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per diluted share that are GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring costs, expenses and gains. A reconciliation of the adjustments to GAAP results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is provided below. In addition, an explanation of how management uses non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its business, the substance behind management's decision to use this non-GAAP financial information, the material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial information, the manner in which management compensates for those limitations, and the substantive reasons management believes that this non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to investors is included under "About our Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjustments" after the tables below.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures, used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or earnings per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP.

About our Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjustments

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per diluted share that are GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring costs, expenses, and gains.

We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share provides important supplemental information regarding non-cash expenses and significant recurring and non-recurring items that we believe are important to understanding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are among the primary indicators used by management as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods and by management and our Board of Directors to determine whether our operating performance has met specified targets and thresholds. Management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share when evaluating operating performance because it believes the exclusion of the items described below, for which the amounts and/or timing may vary significantly depending on the Company's activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of the Company's operating performance from period to period. We have chosen to provide this information to investors so they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our business and the valuation of our Company.

Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We compute non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share by adjusting GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share to remove the impact of recurring amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and stock-based compensation expense, as well as restructuring-related and non-recurring charges and gains and the tax effect of these adjustments. Such non-recurring charges and gains include acquisition-related transaction expenses and the costs to integrate such acquisitions into our business, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, litigation settlement charges and credits, gain on sale of our corporate headquarters building and related land, and imputed interest expense and depreciation, net of accrued sublease income and capitalized interest, related to the sale of our corporate headquarters facility and related land.

These excluded items are described below:

• Recurring charges and gains, including:

• Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Intangible assets acquired to date are being amortized on a straight-line basis. Post-acquisition non-competition agreements are amortized over their term.

• Stock-based compensation expense recognized in accordance with ASC 718, Stock-based Compensation.

• Non-recurring charges and gains, including:

• Restructuring and other consists of:

          -- Restructuring charges incurred as we consolidate the number and size of our facilities and, as a result, reduce the size of our workforce.

                    -- Acquisition-related executive deferred compensation costs, which are dependent on the continuing employment of a former shareholder of an
                       acquired company, are being amortized on a straight-line basis.

                    -- Expenses incurred to integrate businesses acquired during the periods reported.

• Acquisition-related transaction costs associated with businesses acquired during the periods reported and anticipated transactions.

• Changes in fair value of contingent consideration. Our management determined that we should analyze the total return provided by the investment when evaluating operating results of an acquired entity. The total return consists of operating profit generated from the acquired entity compared to the purchase price paid, including the final amounts paid for contingent consideration without considering any post-acquisition adjustments related to changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration. Because our management believes the final purchase price paid for each acquisition reflects the accounting value assigned to both contingent consideration and to the intangible assets, we exclude the GAAP impact of any adjustments to the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration from the operating results of an acquisition in subsequent periods. We believe this approach is useful in understanding the long-term return provided by our acquisitions and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of this adjustment.

• Imputed net expenses related to sale of building and land. On November 1, 2012, we sold the 294,000 square foot building located at 303 Velocity Way in Foster City, California, which at that time served as our corporate headquarters, along with approximately four acres of land and certain other assets related to the property, to Gilead Sciences, Inc. for $179.7 million. We used the facility until October 31, 2013, for which period rent was not required to be paid. This constituted a form of continuing involvement that prevented gain recognition. Until we vacated the building, the proceeds from the sale were recognized as deferred proceeds from property transaction on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, which were $183.2 million, including imputed interest costs, at October 31, 2013. Imputed interest expense and depreciation, net of accrued sublease income, of $1.6 million had been accrued at October 31, 2013, related to the deferred property transaction, partially offset by capitalized interest of $1.1 million related to the Fremont facility.

• On November 1, 2012, we sold the aforementioned building and land to Gilead for $179.7 million. We used the facility until October 31, 2013, while searching for a new facility, building it out, and relocating our corporate headquarters, for which period rent was not required to be paid. Because we vacated the facility on October 31, 2013, we have no continuing involvement with the property and have accounted for the transaction as a property sale during the fourth quarter of 2013, thereby recognizing a gain of approximately $117 million on the sale of the property.

• Gain on sale of minority investment in a privately-held company. Other investments, included within other assets, consist of equity and debt investments in privately-held companies that develop products, markets, and services considered to be strategic to us. We sold one of these investments in 2013 for $0.1 million, which had been fully reserved in prior years, because it was no longer considered to be strategic.

• In conjunction with our acquisition of Cretaprint, which closed on January 10, 2012, we assumed a contingent liability related to the alleged infringement of certain patents owned by Jose Vicente Tomas Claramonte, the President of Kerajet. Because the former owners of Cretaprint agreed to indemnify EFI against any potential liability in the event that Mr. Claramonte were to prevail in his action against Cretaprint, we accrued a contingent liability based on a reasonable estimate of the legal obligation that was probable as of the acquisition date and we accrued a contingent asset based on the portion of any liability for which the former Cretaprint owners would indemnify EFI. The net obligation accrued in the opening balance sheet on the acquisition date was EU 2.5 million (or approximately $3.3 million). The Spanish Court of Appeal reached a final determination on July 15, 2013, which resulted in EFI having no liability related to any potential infringement of the Claramonte patent. Because this matter is no longer subject to appeal, we have reversed this liability in 2013 by recognizing a credit against general and administrative expense.

• 2013, we settled pre-acquisition litigation-related indemnification claims of $0.2 million. In 2012, we settled a dispute with the lessor of a facility in the U.K. for $0.5 million, which was partially offset by the receipt of an additional $0.2 million in insurance proceeds, net of legal fees and costs, related to our previously disclosed settlement of the shareholder derivative litigation concerning our historical stock option granting practices.

• Tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments

• After excluding the items described above, we apply the principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes, to estimate the non-GAAP income tax benefit (provision) in each jurisdiction in which we operate.

• To facilitate comparability of our operating performance between 2013 and 2012, we have excluded the following from our non-GAAP net income:

                     --Tax benefit of $43.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 resulting from a capital loss related to the liquidation of a wholly-owned
                         subsidiary.

                     -- Tax benefit of $6.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 resulting from the increase in value of acquired intangibles for tax purposes due
                         to an operational restructuring in Spain.

                    -- Tax charge of $19.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 resulting from the establishment of a valuation allowance related to the
                         realization of tax benefits from existing California deferred tax assets.

                    -- Tax benefit of $6.0 and $11.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, resulting from the release of previously
                        unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the expiration of U.S. federal and state statutes of limitations.

                    -- Tax benefit of $3.2 and $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, resulting from the retroactive renewal of both the 2012 U.S. federal
                         research and development tax credit and certain international tax provisions, respectively, on January 2, 2013. The tax benefit for these items had
                         been previously recognized in our non-GAAP net income for the year ended December 31, 2012. Interest expense accrued (released) on prior year
                         tax reserves of $(0.1) and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

• Please note that starting in Q1 2014 and continuing for the balance of the year, we will be using a constant Non-GAAP tax rate of 19%, which we believe reflects the long term average tax rate based on our tax structure and geographic distribution of revenue and profits.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Information to Investors

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures, used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or earnings per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. We expect to continue to incur expenses of a nature similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring.
