“We achieved solid financial results while investing for growth” said Eric Stang, chief executive officer of Ooma. “Our focus remains on our three key FY19 strategic initiatives, which are to continue the fast growth of Ooma Office for small businesses, capitalize on our Voxter acquisition to serve larger businesses with custom UCaaS solutions, and extend the Ooma platform to include home security and video monitoring services for residential users.  We believe we are executing well on these initiatives and will drive long term shareholder value.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including: non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA represents the net loss before interest and other expense or income, income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization and other non-GAAP expenses.

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expense and related taxes, change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration, acquisition related transaction costs, amortization of acquired intangibles and non-cash acquisition-related income tax benefit.

These non-GAAP financial measures are presented to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results and core business operations.  Ooma considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful measures of the operating performance of the company, because they contain adjustments for unusual events or factors that do not directly affect what management considers to be Ooma’s core operating performance and are used by the company’s management for that purpose.  Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures allow for a better evaluation of the company’s performance by facilitating a meaningful comparison of the company’s core operating results in a given period to those in prior and future periods. In addition, investors often use similar measures to evaluate the operating performance of a company.

Non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only to aid an understanding of the company’s operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.  A limitation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented is that the adjustments relate to items that the company generally expects to continue to recognize. The adjustment of these items should not be construed as an inference that the adjusted gains or expenses are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Therefore, both GAAP financial measures of Ooma’s financial performance and the respective non-GAAP measures should be considered together.  Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in the tables below.

Ooma uses the investor relations section on its website as a means of complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.
