  • The Company ended the third quarter of 2016 with 2,805 clients and approximately 27.7 million users.2

Financial Outlook:

The following outlook is based on information available as of the date of this press release and is subject to change in the future. For the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2016, the Company provides the following outlook:

  • Revenue between $108.0 million and $110.0 million, representing year-over-year growth at the mid-point of 13.6%3, or 21.9%4 on a constant currency basis.

For the year ending December 31, 2016, the Company provides the following updated outlook:

  • Revenue between $422.0 million and $424.0 million, representing year-over-year growth at the mid-point of 24.5%5, or 29.6%6 on a constant currency basis.

  • Non-GAAP net income of approximately $2.5 million and a non-GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.04.

  • Free cash flow of approximately $10.0 million. The Company’s free cash flow outlook has been adjusted to reflect timing changes related to certain one-time working capital adjustments and increased payment terms given to clients signed late in the third quarter, as well as the impact of the continued devaluation of the British pound.

The Company has not reconciled the guidance for non-GAAP net income or non-GAAP diluted net income per share to the corresponding GAAP measures because it does not provide guidance for such GAAP measures and would not be able to present the reconciling items between such GAAP and non-GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. For non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share, the Company excludes stock-based compensation expense, which is impacted by factors that are outside of the Company’s control and can be difficult to predict. The actual amount of stock-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter and the year ending December 31, 2016 will have a significant impact on the Company’s GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share.

1 Billings, financial measures presented on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating income (loss) margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share and free cash flows are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the discussion in the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations at the end of this press release. 2 Includes contracted clients and active users of our Enterprise and Mid-Market solution, excluding Cornerstone for Salesforce and Cornerstone Growth Edition.
