Comment Regarding Non-GAAP
Sapiens' management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures
can enhance the understanding of the company's ongoing economic performance,
and provides useful information to investors regarding financial and business
trends relating to the company's financial condition and results of
operations. Sapiens therefore uses internally the non-GAAP information to
evaluate and manage the Company's operations.
This non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an
alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be
different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In
addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any
comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Sapiens believes that
non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all
of the amounts associated with Sapiens' results of operations as determined
in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to
evaluate Sapiens' results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding
GAAP measures.
