Adjusted (Non-GAAP) Financial Measures
Sapient provides non-GAAP financial measures to complement reported GAAP results. Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in the company's business and uses the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing the company's business and evaluating its performance. The company anticipates that it will continue to report both GAAP and certain non-GAAP financial measures in its financial results, including non-GAAP results that exclude stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other related charges, amortization of purchased intangible assets, acquisition costs and other related charges, and income tax benefits or provisions resulting from changes in the valuation allowance. In addition, the company may present service revenues in constant currency terms, which excludes the effect of currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the entity in which the revenue was transacted. The effect is excluded by translating the current period's local currency service revenues into U.S. dollars using the average local currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior period of comparison. Because the company's reported non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated according to GAAP, these measures are not comparable to GAAP and may not necessarily be comparable to similarly described non-GAAP measures reported by other companies within the company's industry. Consequently, Sapient's non-GAAP financial measures should not be evaluated in isolation or supplant comparable GAAP measures, but, rather, should be considered together with its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared according to GAAP.
Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements — in particular,
the financial guidance for the second quarter of 2012, including
expected service revenues and expected non-GAAP operating margin — that
involve a number of risks and uncertainties. All forward looking
statements are based upon current expectations and beliefs and various
assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from management's
expectations and the forward-looking statements contained in this
release. A number of factors could cause actual events to differ
materially from those indicated, including, without limitation: the
continued acceptance of the company's services; a reduction in the
demand for the company's services in light of the current economic
environment; the company's ability to accurately set fees for and
complete its current and future client projects on a timely basis,
successfully manage risks associated with its international operations,
manage its growth and projects effectively, successfully integrate and
achieve anticipated benefits from acquisitions, and continue to attract
and retain high-quality employees; and other risks and uncertainties as
set forth in the company's filings with the
