NETSUITE INC SAN MATEO, Calif., Jan. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, today announced operating results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $157.9 million, representing a 37% increase over the prior year. Total revenue for the year was $556.3 million, a year-over-year increase of 34%.
Cash flow from operations was $20.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of $3.6 million, or 21%, over the same period last year. Cash flow from operations was $74.9 million for the year, an increase of $12.7 million, or 20%, over the prior year.
On a GAAP basis, net loss for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $25.3 million, or $(0.33) per share, as compared to a net loss of $20.2 million, or $(0.27) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2013. GAAP net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $100.0 million, or $(1.31) per share, as compared to a GAAP net loss of $70.4 million, or $(0.95) per share, in 2013.
Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $7.5 million, or $0.10 per share, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $6.2 million, or $0.08 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $25.0 million, or $0.32 per share, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $19.9 million, or $0.26 per share, in 2013.
"Our record results for the quarter and fiscal year 2014 contrast with the results announced by legacy on-premise software companies as the cloud and NetSuite disrupt the business software landscape," said NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson. "The fourth quarter of 2014 was our seventh consecutive quarter of more than 30% year-over-year recurring revenue growth. In addition, fiscal year 2014 represents a fifth consecutive year of accelerating recurring revenue growth, which, based on public disclosures, we believe is a record unmatched by any publicly-traded on-premise or cloud software company during the last five years."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our stated results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating income, net income, weighted average shares outstanding, and net income per share. Non-GAAP operating income excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and transaction costs for business combinations. Non-GAAP net income excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, transaction costs for business combinations, non-cash interest expense on convertible debt and income tax benefits associated with business combinations. Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income exclude these expenses as they are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business, and in the case of stock-based compensation, can be difficult to predict. We believe these adjustments provide useful comparative information to investors.
We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of our operating performance and are used by our management for that purpose. In addition, investors often use measures such as these to evaluate the operating performance of a company. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding our operating results. The non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, NetSuite uses non-GAAP measures of operating income, net income, weighted average shares outstanding and net income per share, which are adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, transaction costs for business combinations, non-cash interest expense on convertible debt and income tax benefits associated with business combinations and includes dilutive shares where applicable. We believe these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future.
These adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of NetSuite's underlying operating results and trends and our marketplace performance.
The non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance that are considered by management for the purpose of making operational decisions. In addition, these non-GAAP results are the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating loss, net loss or basic and diluted net loss per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and are subject to limitations.
While a large component of our expense in certain periods, we believe investors may want to exclude the effects of these items in order to compare our financial performance with that of other companies and between time periods:
(a) Stock-based compensation is a non-
cash expense accounted for in
accordance with FASB ASC Topic
718. We believe that the
exclusion of stock-based
compensation expense allows for
financial results that are more
indicative of our operational
performance and provide for a
useful comparison of our operating
results to prior periods and to
our peer companies because stock-
based compensation expense varies
from period to period and company
to company due to such things as
differing valuation methodologies
and changes in stock price.
Additionally, we capitalize equity
based compensation costs in
connection with our capitalization
of internally developed software
costs. These equity based
compensation costs are included in
cost of revenue when the
internally developed software
costs are amortized. As such, we
included these costs in the stock-
based compensation line item to
determine both non-GAAP operating
income and non-GAAP net income.
(b) Amortization of intangible assets
and transaction costs related to
business combinations resulted
principally from mergers and
acquisitions. Expense for the
amortization of intangible assets
is a non-cash item, and we
believe the exclusion of this
amortization expense provides for
a useful comparison of our
operating results to prior periods
and to our peer companies.
Business combinations result in
non-continuing operating expenses
which would not otherwise have
been incurred by us in the normal
course of our business operations.
We believe the exclusion of
acquisition related expense items
allows for financial results that
are more indicative of our
continuing operations and provide
for a useful comparison of our
operating results to prior periods
and to our peer companies.
(c) During the second quarter of 2013,
we issued $310.0 million in senior
convertible debt with a coupon
interest rate of 0.25%. Interest
is paid semiannually on June 1 and
December 1 over the five year term
of the debt. In connection with
this convertible debt, we are
required to recognize non-cash
interest expense, including debt
transaction costs, in accordance
with the authoritative accounting
guidance for convertible debt that
may be settled in cash. We
exclude this incremental non-cash
interest expense, including debt
transaction costs, for purposes of
calculating non-GAAP net income
and non-GAAP net income per
share. We believe that excluding
these expenses from our non-GAAP
measures is useful to investors
because the incremental interest
expense does not represent a cash
outflow for the company and the
debt transactions cost do not
represent a cash outflow for the
company except in the period the
debt was issued and therefore both
are not indicative of our
continuing operations or
meaningful in evaluating current
versus past business results.
Finally, we believe that non-GAAP
measures of profitability that
exclude non-cash interest expense
and debt transaction costs are
widely used by analysts and
investors.
(d) In connection with our business
acquisitions in the first and
fourth quarters of 2013, we
recorded an income tax benefit
that reduced our income tax
provision in each of the
respective quarters. These income
tax benefits are non-cash items
that would not otherwise have been
incurred in the normal course of
our business operations. We
believe that the exclusion of
acquisition related items allows
for financial results that are
more indicative of our continuing
operations and provide for a
useful comparison of our operating
results to prior periods and to
our peer companies.
(e) These securities are anti-dilutive
on a GAAP basis as a result of the
Company's net loss, but are
considered dilutive on a non-GAAP
basis in periods where the Company
has reported positive non-GAAP
earnings.
