REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--()--Talend (NASDAQ: TLND), a global leader in cloud and big data integration software, today released financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘IFRS’’) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (‘‘IASB’’), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-IFRS financial measures, including non-IFRS net loss and free cash flow. We define non-IFRS net loss as IFRS net loss less share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We define free cash flow as net cash from (used in) operating activities less net cash used in investing activities for purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Talend considers these non-IFRS financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of its operating performance, exclusive of unusual events or factors that do not directly affect what Talend considers to be its core operating performance, and are used by Talend’s management for that purpose. In addition, investors often use similar measures to evaluate the operating performance of a company. Non-IFRS financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the company’s operating results. The non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from non-IFRS financial measures presented by other companies. Please see the reconciliation of non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure attached to this release below.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, our anticipated operating results for the third quarter and 2016 fiscal year, our expectations regarding the evolution of our marketplace and the goals for our Talend Data Fabric and our belief that we are well positioned to capitalize on the growing trend of Hadoop, Spark, and cloud adoption. Our expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstance that are difficult or impossible to predict. Consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements as a result of such uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances, including without limitation risks and uncertainties related to our ability to continue to deliver and improve our products and successfully develop new products; customer acceptance and purchase of our existing products and new products; our ability to retain existing customers and generate new customers; the market for data integration solutions, particularly our big data and cloud integration solutions, not continuing to develop; competition from other products and services; and general market, political, economic and business conditions.

The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial and operating results are included under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” and elsewhere in our 424(b) prospectus dated July 28, 2016 filed with the SEC. Our SEC filings are available on the Investors section of Talend’s website at http://investor.talend.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements provided to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law.
