Featured in 451 Research, The Internet of Things Market Map 2016 , published August 2016. Exhibited and presented at the 2016 Gartner Catalyst Conference in San Diego, August 2016, where Covisint Chief Security Officer, David Miller presented on “Orchestrating Identities Across People, Systems and Things.” Featured in Gartner Research, Critical Capabilities for Identity and Access Management as a Service, Worldwide , published September 2016.

Featured in ABI Research, Vehicle Prognostics Pave the Way for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Progression , published September 2016. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Covisint monitors non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain items (the impact of stock award compensation expense, the amortization and impairment of intangible assets and amounts incurred for capitalized internal software costs) and, therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Covisint monitors these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its ongoing operational performance and enhance an overall understanding of its past financial performance. Covisint believes that these non-GAAP metrics help illustrate underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that are excluded in non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. Furthermore, Covisint uses these measures to establish budgets and operational goals for managing its business and evaluating its performance. Covisint also believes that these non-GAAP measures provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing its recurring core business operating results over multiple periods against other companies in its industry.
The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating its business internally and as such has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.
