Challenges Ahead
- Guidance is subject to various important cautionary factors referenced in the section entitled "Forward-Looking Statements" below, including risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Five9 has not reconciled its expectations as to non-GAAP net income per share to GAAP net loss per share because stock-based compensation and one-time integration costs cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time.
- Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.
