Challenges Ahead
- A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP operating margin, free cash flow margin and non-GAAP net income per share to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort
- Certain items cannot be reasonably predicted because of their high variability, complexity and low visibility.
- The measures and effects of our stock-based compensation-related charges are directly impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions and unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price
- Stock-based compensation-related charges include stock-based compensation expenses, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, and amortization of stock-based compensation capitalized in internal-use software
- We expect to have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.
