¹ Includes $2.3 million of legal and other expenses related to the Company’s acquisition by Lexmark.

Commenting on the Non-GAAP financial results for the quarter, Reynolds C. Bish, Chief Executive Officer, said: “We had a solid quarter with strong growth in new and acquired software products and a continuing year over year increase in the number of six and seven figure software license transactions. Despite this, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar since we last provided guidance on January 29 again negatively impacted our revenues. On a constant currency basis, using exchange rate levels in the prior year period, software license revenue would have been approximately $1.8 million and total revenues $5.0 million higher. The effect on Adjusted EBITDA was less pronounced as a result of the global nature and distribution of our employees and expenses. We expect Lexmark’s acquisition of Kofax to close in the second calendar quarter of 2015, and look forward to working with its management to combine the two businesses.”

Operating Highlights:

• Announced a definitive agreement for Lexmark to acquire all of Kofax’s outstanding shares for $11.00 per share in cash at a total value of more than $1 billion. The acquisition is contingent on Kofax shareholder approval at a special general meeting of Kofax shareholders scheduled for May 18, 2015, applicable regulatory clearances and other customary closing conditions.
• Acquired Aia Holding BV, a provider of customer communications management (CCM) software for $19.5 million. Aia’s CCM software helps organizations manage interactive and ad hoc customer correspondence both electronically and on paper, and will be fully integrated within Kofax TotalAgility^®.
• Launched Kofax Mobile ID™, a mobile capture framework that powers the capture and submittal of proof of identity documents, including U.S. and most international driver licenses, passports and national identity cards, and their content. This capability is an essential part of an account opening or other process initiated by taking a picture of such documents using a smartphone or other mobile device.
• Delisted Kofax’s shares from the London Stock Exchange effective March 31, 2015.
• Gartner’s reports on its Magic Quadrants for Intelligent Business Process Management Suites and BPM-Platform-Based Case Management Frameworks were issued and recognized Kofax for its TotalAgility Platform.

Definition of Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP Revenue – We defined Non-GAAP revenue as revenue, as reported under GAAP, increased to include revenue that is associated with our historic acquisitions that has been excluded from reported results for a limited period due to the effects of purchase accounting. In accordance with GAAP purchase accounting, an acquired company’s deferred revenue at the date of acquisition is subject to a fair value adjustment which generally reduces the deferred amount and revenues recognized subsequent to an acquisition. We include non-GAAP revenue to allow for more complete comparisons to the financial results of our historical operations, forward looking guidance and the financial results of peer companies. We believe these adjustments are useful to management and investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of the business. Additionally, although acquisition-related revenue adjustments are nonrecurring, we may incur similar adjustments in connection with future acquisitions. At times when we are communicating with our shareholders, analysts and other parties we refer to Non-GAAP Revenue as Adjusted Revenue.

Non-GAAP Income from Operations – We define non-GAAP income from operations as income/(loss) from operations, as reported under GAAP, excluding the effect of Acquisition fair value adjustment to revenue, Share-based compensation expense, Depreciation expense, Amortization of acquired intangible assets, Acquisition-related costs, and Other operating expense, net. Share-based compensation expense, Depreciation expense and Amortization of acquired intangible assets in our non-GAAP income from operations reconciliation represent non-cash charges which are not considered by management in evaluating our operating performance. Acquisition-related costs consist of: (i) costs directly attributable to our acquisition strategy and the evaluation, consummation and integration of our acquisitions (composed substantially of professional services fees including legal, accounting and other consultants and to a lesser degree to our personnel whose responsibilities are devoted to acquisition activities), and (ii) transition compensation costs (composed substantially of contingent payments for shares that are treated as compensation expense and retention payments that are anticipated to become payable to employees, as well as severance payments to employees whose positions were made redundant). These acquisition-related costs are not considered to be related to the continuing operations of the acquired businesses and are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired assets. Other operating expense, net represents items that are not necessarily related to our recurring operations and which therefore are not, under GAAP, included in other expense lines. Accordingly, we exclude those amounts when assessing non-GAAP income from operations. At times when we are communicating with our shareholders, financial analysts and other parties we refer to non-GAAP income from operations as adjusted EBITDA.

We assess non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of total non-GAAP revenue and by doing so we are able to evaluate the relative performance of our revenue growth compared to the expense growth for those items included in non-GAAP income from operations. This measure allows management and our Board of Directors to compare our performance against that of other companies in our industry that may be of different sizes.

At times when we are communicating with our shareholders, financial analysts and other parties, we refer to adjusted income from operations as a percentage of revenues as EBITDA margin.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share – Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is calculated using GAAP net income/(loss) excluding the effect of Acquisition fair value adjustment to revenue, Share-based compensation expense, Amortization of intangible assets, Acquisition-related costs, Net Interest-Other Income and Expense, and the related tax effect, divided by weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding. Therefore, we include this non-GAAP measure in order to provide a more complete comparison of our earnings per share from one period to another. At times when we are communicating with our shareholders, financial analysts and other parties we refer to Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share as Adjusted EPS.

Non-GAAP Cash Flows from Operations - We define Non-GAAP cash flows from operations as cash flows from operations as reported under GAAP, adjusted for income taxes paid or received and payments under restructurings. Income tax payments are included in this reconciliation as the timing of cash payments and receipts can vary significantly from year-to-year based on a number of factors, including the influence of acquisitions on our consolidated tax attributes. Payments for restructurings relate to a specific activity that is not part of ongoing operations. At times when we are communicating with our shareholders, financial analysts and other parties we refer to Non-GAAP cash flows from operations as Adjusted cash flows from operations.
