Non-GAAP and Other Financial Metrics

Silver Spring supplements the results of operations presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, with certain non-GAAP metrics. Silver Spring manages its business, makes planning decisions, evaluates its performance and allocates resources by assessing non-GAAP metrics such as billings, recurring billings, recurring billings per endpoint, cost of billings, gross profit (loss) on billings, gross margin on billings, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP income tax provision (benefit), non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP income (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA, and total backlog. Silver Spring believes that these non-GAAP financial metrics, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, offer valuable supplemental information regarding the performance of its business, and will help investors better understand the sales volumes, and gross margin and profitability trends, as well as the cash flow characteristics, of its business. The non-GAAP metrics should not be considered in isolation from, are not a substitute for, and do not purport to be an alternative to, revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit (loss), gross margin, operating expense, operating loss, net income (loss), net income (loss) per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Silver Spring may consider whether other significant non-recurring items that arise in the future should also be excluded in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it uses.

Billings represents amounts invoiced for products for which ownership, typically evidenced by title and risk of loss, has transferred or services that have been provided to the customer, and for which payment is expected to be made in accordance with normal payment terms. Billings excludes amounts for undelivered products, services to be performed in the future, and amounts paid or payable to customers. Billings are initially recorded as deferred revenue and are then recognized as revenue when all revenue recognition criteria has been met under Silver Spring’s accounting policies as described in Silver Spring’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Silver Spring reconciles revenue to billings by adding revenue to the change in deferred revenue in a given period.

Recurring billings are billings from Managed services and SaaS, as well as customer support and other service offerings. Recurring billings are primarily recurring in nature and include managed services, hosting and software maintenance, and support fees, as well as one-time Managed services and SaaS set up fees. Customer support and other services are provided to customers outside of Managed services and SaaS offerings, and are also recurring in nature. Silver Spring reconciles recurring revenue to recurring billings by adding revenue to the change in deferred revenue in a given period.

Recurring billings per endpoint represents a trailing twelve-month recurring billings revenue per cumulative endpoint shipped from inception to date.

Cost of billings represents the cost associated with products and services that have been delivered to the customer, excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and acquisition-related charges. Cost of product shipments for which revenue is not recognized in the period incurred is recorded as deferred cost of revenue. Deferred cost of revenue is expensed in the statement of operations as cost of revenue when the corresponding revenue is recognized. Costs related to services are expensed in the period incurred. Silver Spring reconciles cost of revenue to cost of billings by adding cost of revenue and the change in deferred cost of revenue, less stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and acquisition-related charges, included in cost of revenue in a given period.

Gross profit (loss) on billings is the difference between billings and cost of billings.

Gross margin on billings is gross profit (loss) on billings as a percentage of billings.

Non-GAAP operating expense consists of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses, excluding amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, restructuring and legal settlements.

Non-GAAP operating income (loss) represents operating income (loss) adjusted for billings and cost of billings and excludes expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, restructuring and legal settlements.

Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP operating income (loss) as a percentage of billings.

Non-GAAP income tax provision (benefit) represents income tax provision (benefit) excluding income tax benefit related to acquisitions.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents net income (loss) adjusted for changes in deferred revenue and deferred cost of revenue, and excludes expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, income tax benefit related to acquisitions, restructuring and legal settlements.

Non-GAAP income (loss) per share represents non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted average shares outstanding for the period.

Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) adjusted for changes in deferred revenue and deferred cost of revenue, other (income) expense, net, (benefit) provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, restructuring, legal settlements and certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results.

Total backlog represents future product and service billings that Silver Spring expects to generate pursuant to contracts entered into with its utility customers and meter manufacturers. Total backlog includes order backlog, which represents future billings for open purchase orders and other firm commitments.

(a)  

After the release of earnings disclosing the results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we identified an adjustment in which cash provided by operating activities and cash used in investing activities were overstated by $0.3 million. This adjustment was reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016, included in our Form 10-Q filed on August 9, 2016. The amounts for Q2’16 in the table above have been revised as such to reflect this adjustment.
