Management Commentary
“I am very pleased with our fourth quarter and full year 2014 results, and the achievement of our 2014 strategic objectives, particularly the level of growth in our BroadCloud business,” said Michael Tessler, president and chief executive officer, BroadSoft. “Our positive results were largely driven by increased demand for our hosted Unified Communications offerings. Our goal during 2015 is to capitalize on this increasing market demand to further enhance our leading market position.”
“Our fourth quarter capped a year of strong revenue, billings and cash flow growth that were attributable primarily to strength in our hosted Unified Communications businesses,” said Jim Tholen, chief financial officer, BroadSoft. “We expect 2015 to be another strong year for revenue and billings growth, aided in part by several significant new projects at tier–1 service providers. We are investing to support those projects and others that we believe will be important to our success not just this year, but also in 2016 and beyond.”
Guidance
For the first quarter of 2015, BroadSoft anticipates revenue of $52 to $56 million. The Company also expects to achieve earnings on a non–GAAP basis of $0.13 to $0.21 per diluted common share. For the full year 2015, BroadSoft expects revenue of $260 to $268 million. The Company anticipates full year 2015 earnings on a non–GAAP basis of $1.40 to $1.64 per diluted common share.

BroadSoft has provided in this release, and will provide on this morning's teleconference, financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. BroadSoft uses these non–GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating BroadSoft's ongoing operational performance. BroadSoft's management regularly uses these non–GAAP financial measures to understand and manage its business and believes these non–GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance by excluding certain non–cash expenses, and may include additional adjustments for items that are infrequent in nature. BroadSoft believes the use of these non–GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other companies in BroadSoft's industry, many of which present similar non–GAAP financial measures to investors. A reconciliation of the non–GAAP financial measures included in this release and to be discussed on this morning's teleconference to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is set forth below.
Non–GAAP financial measures:
Non–GAAP net income and net income per share. BroadSoft defines non–GAAP net income as net income plus stock–based compensation expense, amortization expense for acquired intangible assets, non–cash interest expense on the Company's convertible notes, and non–cash tax expense included in the GAAP tax provision. BroadSoft defines non–GAAP income per share as non–GAAP net income divided by the weighted average shares outstanding. BroadSoft considers these non–GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors because they exclude the effect of certain non–cash expenses so management and investors can compare BroadSoft's core business operating results over multiple periods.
Non–GAAP gross profit, license gross profit, subscription and maintenance support gross profit, and professional services and other gross profit. BroadSoft defines non–GAAP gross profit as gross profit plus stock–based compensation expense and amortization expense for acquired intangible assets. BroadSoft considers non–GAAP gross profit to be a useful metric for management and our investors because it excludes the effect of certain non–cash expenses so management and its investors can compare BroadSoft's sales margins over multiple periods. Where BroadSoft provides further breakdown of non–GAAP gross profit between license, subscription and maintenance support and professional services and other, the Company adds back the stock–based compensation expense and amortization expense, as applicable, to the related gross profit.
Non–GAAP cost of revenue, license cost of revenue, subscription and maintenance support cost of revenue, and professional services and other cost of revenue. BroadSoft defines non–GAAP cost of revenue as cost of revenue less stock–based compensation expense and amortization expense for acquired intangible assets. BroadSoft considers non–GAAP cost of revenue to be a useful metric for management and our investors because it excludes the effect of certain non–cash expenses so management and its investors can compare BroadSoft's cost of revenue over multiple periods. Where BroadSoft provides further breakdown of non–GAAP cost of revenue between license, subscription and maintenance support and professional services and other, the Company subtracts the stock–based compensation expense and amortization expense, as applicable, to the related cost of revenue.
Non–GAAP income from operations. BroadSoft defines non–GAAP income from operations as income from operations plus stock–based compensation expense and amortization expense for acquired intangible assets. BroadSoft considers non–GAAP income from operations to be a useful metric for management and investors because it excludes the effect of certain non–cash expenses so management and investors can compare BroadSoft's core business operating results over multiple periods. Where BroadSoft provides further breakdown of non–GAAP operating expenses for sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative, the Company deducts stock–based compensation expense included in the applicable expense item.
Non–GAAP operating expenses, sales and marketing expense, research and development expense and general and administrative expense. BroadSoft defines non–GAAP operating expenses as operating expense plus stock–based compensation expense allocated to sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Similarly, BroadSoft defines non–GAAP sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses as the relevant GAAP measure plus stock–based compensation expense allocated to the particular expense item.
Billings. BroadSoft defines billings as revenue plus the net change in our deferred revenue balance for a particular period. BroadSoft believes that billings is a key measure of our business activity.
With respect to our expectations under “Guidance” above, and regarding certain of the projections discussed on this morning's teleconference, reconciliation of both non–GAAP earnings per share guidance, and of projections regarding non–GAAP cost of sales and non–GAAP operating expenses in the first quarter and full year of 2015, to the closest corresponding GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward–looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non–GAAP measures, in particular, the measures and effects of non–cash income taxes, which are extremely difficult to project as a result of our tax status in a number of foreign jurisdictions, and stock–based compensation expense specific to equity compensation awards that are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
The presentation of non–GAAP net income, non–GAAP net income per share, non–GAAP gross margin, non–GAAP income from operations, billings and other non–GAAP financial measures in this release and on this morning's teleconference is not meant to be a substitute for “net income,” “net income per share,” “gross margin,” “income from operations” or other financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with such data. BroadSoft's definition of “non–GAAP net income,” “non–GAAP net income per share,” “non–GAAP gross margin,” “non–GAAP income from operations,” “billings” and other non–GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled non–GAAP measures used by other companies and may differ from period to period. In reporting non–GAAP measures in the future, management may make other adjustments for expenses and gains it does not consider reflective of core operating performance in a particular period and may modify “non–GAAP net income,” “non–GAAP net income per share,” “non–GAAP gross margin,” “non–GAAP income from operations,” “billings” and such other non–GAAP measures by excluding these expenses and gains.
