Third Quarter Fiscal 2015 Business Highlights
In the third quarter, Covisint:
- Completed its previously announced spin from Compuware Corporation on October 31, 2014. Covisint also announced changes to its Board structure, with the appointment of Sam Inman as Chairman and Philip Lay as lead director.
- Named Dr. Homaira Akbari to Covisint's board of directors. Dr. Akbari has extensive experience and deep domain knowledge in software-as-a-service, mobility and security technologies. She is currently President and CEO of AKnowledge Partners, LLC, an international advisory firm providing services to leading private equity funds and Fortune 1000 corporations.
- Announced the addition of VisionIT, Rumba Solutions and MindLift to Covisint's Certified Service Partner program. VisionIT's success and experience in delivering stable, scalable, global solutions for their customer base aligns precisely with the focus of Covisint's partner program. Rumba Solutions' success in delivering innovative solutions across cloud, mobile and web initiatives makes them ideal to join Covisint's Certified Service Partner program. Finally, MindLift, will help enterprises develop comprehensive platform solutions focused on identity and access management to improve customer, partner and employee experiences. The initial focus of these partners will be on delivering Covisint services with support for reselling subscription services being included later in the year.
- Demonstrated the next-gen vehicle owner connectivity experience at the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). As part of the 2015 Technology Showcase at NAIAS, Covisint presented interactive demonstrations on the next-gen "connected owner" experience, discussed "Top 5 Connected Car Predictions for 2015," highlighted how the Internet of Things is transforming the automotive industry, and showcased how Covisint is providing support for Hyundai's newly released Hyundai Blue Link smartwatch application. As one of the early pioneers in the cloud and the Internet of Things, Covisint has long been at the forefront of helping customers and business partners embrace the larger automotive ecosystem and enable a better experience for owners.
- Delivered a presentation on managing the identity of "things" at the Gartner Identity & Access Management Summit. Covisint Chief Security Officer David Miller's presentation titled, "Are Companies Prepared to Manage the Growing Identity of 'Things,'" addressed how nearly all "things" – including people to machines, such as vehicles, oil rigs and medical devices – will soon have a digital identity, and how organizations can manage these identities while ensuring the secure flow of trusted information between them.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), Covisint monitors non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain items (the impact of stock award compensation expense, the amortization of intangible assets and amounts incurred for capitalized internal software costs) and, therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Covisint monitors these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its ongoing operational performance and enhance an overall understanding of its past financial performance. Covisint believes that these non-GAAP metrics help illustrate underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses, as well as the related tax effects, that are excluded in non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. Furthermore, Covisint uses these measures to establish budgets and operational goals for managing its business and evaluating its performance. Covisint also believes that these non-GAAP measures provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing its recurring core business operating results over multiple periods against other companies in its industry.
The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating its business internally and as such has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.
