Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company's stated results include certain non-GAAP financial measures,
including non-GAAP operating income/(loss), net income/(loss), weighted
average shares outstanding, and net income/(loss) per share. Non-GAAP net
income/(loss) excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation expense,
amortization of intangible assets and transaction costs for business
combinations.  Non-GAAP net income/(loss) excludes 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. The Company considers these events to be
non-routine, and believes these adjustments provide useful comparative
information to investors.

The Company considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important
because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the
Company and are used by the Company's management for that purpose. In
addition, investors often use measures such as these to evaluate the financial
performance of a company. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental
informational purposes only for understanding the Company's 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 net income / (loss),
    weighted average shares outstanding and net income / (loss) per share,
    which are adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense,
    amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and transaction
    costs for business combinations to include 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 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.
    (a)  Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense accounted for in
         accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
         123(R) for options granted after January 1, 2006, and Accounting
         Principles Board Opinion No. 25 for options granted before January 1,
         2006. Amortization of intangible assets and transaction costs related
         to business combinations resulted principally from mergers and
         acquisitions. 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.
    (b)  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.
