Cash flow from operations was $17.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of $3.9 million, or 29%, over the same period last year. Cash flow from operations was $62.2 million for the year, an increase of $7.9 million, or 15%, over the prior year.

GAAP net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $70.4 million, or $(0.95) per share, as compared to a GAAP net loss of $35.2 million, or $(0.50) per share, in 2012.

"2013 was a record year for NetSuite, and the fourth year in a row that NetSuite delivered accelerating revenue growth.

All forward-looking statements made in this press release and during the conference call are based on information available to us as of the date thereof, and NetSuite disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

In particular, the following factors, among others, could cause results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements: the market for on-demand services may develop more slowly than expected or than it has in the past; continued adverse and unpredictable macro-economic conditions or reduced investments in on-demand applications and information technology spending; quarterly operating results may fluctuate more than expected; unexpected disruptions of service at one or more of our data centers may occur; a security breach may impact operations; risks associated with material defects or errors in our software or the effect of undetected computer viruses could impact operations; the risk of technological developments and innovations by others; our ability to successfully identify other businesses and technologies for acquisition that will complement our business and the ability to successfully acquire and integrate those businesses and technologies; the risk of loss of power or disruption in Internet service; failure to manage growth and effectively scale the organization; failure to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; assertions by third parties that we infringe their intellectual property rights; the ability to manage operations when faced with competitive pricing and marketing strategies by competitors or changing macro-economic conditions; the risk of losing key employees; evolving government regulation of the Internet and ecommerce; changes to current accounting rules; changes in foreign exchange rates; and general political or destabilizing events, including war, conflict or acts of terrorism; and other risks and uncertainties.

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.
               In Q2 2012, certain
               customers acquired in a
               previous business
               combination transitioned
               from their legacy service
               offering to a NetSuite
               service offering or
               terminated their service
               completely.  As a result,
               we recorded a $401,000
               impairment charge related
               to the legacy product's
               developed technology
               intangible asset.  This
               impairment charge is
               included in amortization of
               intangible assets.
               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.
