⁽¹⁾ This press release uses non-GAAP financial metrics that are adjusted for the impact of various GAAP items. See the sections titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables entitled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for details.

⁽²⁾ The customer counts by product line exceed the total customer count because some customers subscribe to multiple product lines. Total customer count also includes 40 unique Zinc Ahead customers.

⁽³⁾ We calculate our annualized revenue run-rate for a product or customer as of the end of a given quarter by totaling two values: (i) the daily subscription revenue for the product or customer recognized on the last day of the fiscal quarter, multiplied by 365, and (ii) the associated professional services revenue for the quarter, multiplied by four.

⁽⁴⁾ We calculate our annual subscription services revenue retention rate for a particular fiscal year by dividing (i) annualized subscription revenue as of the last day of that fiscal year from those customers that were also customers as of the last day of the prior fiscal year by (ii) the annualized subscription revenue from all customers as of the last day of the prior fiscal year. Annualized subscription revenue is calculated by multiplying the daily subscription revenue recognized on the last day of the fiscal year by 365. This calculation includes the impact on our revenues from customer non-renewals, deployments of additional users or decreases in users, deployments of additional solutions or discontinued use of solutions by our customers, and price changes for our solutions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Veeva has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. This information primarily includes non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP fully diluted net income per share. Veeva uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally for budgeting and resource allocation purposes and in analyzing its financial results. Veeva believes these measures are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons, in evaluating Veeva's ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial measures with other companies in Veeva's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP measures are adjusted for the impact of expenses associated with stock-based compensation, amortization of purchased intangibles, capitalization of expenses associated with development of internal-use software and the subsequent amortization of the capitalized expenses, deferred compensation associated with the Zinc Ahead acquisition, and the tax effect of all of these non-GAAP adjustments.

As described above, Veeva may exclude the following items from its non-GAAP measures:

• Stock-based compensation expenses. Veeva excludes stock-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses and management finds it useful to exclude certain non-cash charges to assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. Moreover, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use under FASB ASC Topic 718, Veeva believes excluding stock-based compensation expenses allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between our recurring core business operating results and those of other companies.
• Amortization of purchased intangibles. Veeva incurs amortization expense for purchased intangible assets in connection with acquisitions of certain businesses and technologies. Amortization of intangible assets is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of acquisitions. Management finds it useful to exclude these variable charges to assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to our future period revenues as well. Amortization of purchased intangible assets will recur in future periods.
• Capitalization of internal-use software development expenses and the subsequent amortization of the capitalized expenses. Veeva capitalizes certain costs incurred for the development of computer software for internal use and then amortizes those costs over the estimated useful life. Capitalization and amortization of software development costs can vary significantly depending on the timing of products reaching technological feasibility and being made generally available. Moreover, because of the variety of approaches taken and the subjective assumptions made by other companies in this area, Veeva believes that excluding the effects of capitalized software costs allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies.
• Deferred compensation associated with the Zinc Ahead acquisition. The Zinc Ahead share purchase agreement called for $10.0 million in share purchase consideration to be deferred and paid to certain former Zinc Ahead employees at a rate of one-third of the deferred consideration amount per year only in the event such former Zinc Ahead employees remain employed by Veeva on each deferred consideration payment date. Pursuant to GAAP, these payments are being accounted for as deferred compensation and the expense is recognized over the requisite service period. Veeva believes excluding these deferred compensation expenses from our non-GAAP measures may allow investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our recurring business operating results and those of other companies.
• Income tax effects on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and expenses. The income tax effects that are excluded from the non-GAAP measures relate to the tax impact on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and expenses due to stock-based compensation, purchased intangibles, capitalized internal-use software, and deferred compensation associated with the Zinc Ahead acquisition for GAAP and non-GAAP measures.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which items are adjusted to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures. Veeva compensates for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in our public disclosures.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. A reconciliation of GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables below.

Veeva is not able, at this time, to provide GAAP targets for operating income and fully diluted net income per share for the first quarter and full year of its fiscal year ending January 31, 2017 because of the difficulty of estimating certain items that are excluded from non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP fully diluted net income per share, such as charges related to stock-based compensation expense, capitalization of internal-use software development expenses and the subsequent amortization of the capitalized expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and deferred compensation associated with the Zinc Ahead acquisition, the effect of which may be significant.

The following table reconciles the specific items excluded from GAAP net income in the calculation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share for the periods shown below:
