Cash: Total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities at March 31, 2016 was $193.9 million, a decrease of 11% from 2015 year-end. The reduction was primarily due to the payment of annual bonuses and $10.1 million of marketable securities sold in the quarter, which did not settle until April 2016 and are reflected in other current assets as of March 31, 2016.

Cash generated from operations for the quarter was $8.6 million.

License and Cloud Backlog: The Company computes license and cloud backlog by adding billed deferred license and cloud revenue and off-balance sheet license and cloud commitments, which is business that is contracted, not billed, and not recorded on the Company’s balance sheet.

OpenSpan Acquisition Impact

In April 2016, the Company acquired OpenSpan, Inc. ("OpenSpan"), a privately held software provider of robotic process automation and workforce analytics software. The Company expects the acquisition to be accretive starting in 2017.

As a result of the acquisition, the Company is updating its previous guidance for the full year 2016 as follows: The Company now expects GAAP and non-GAAP revenue to be approximately $800 million. GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be approximately $0.44 per share, while non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be consistent with the previously announced guidance of approximately $0.95 per share.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

To supplement financial results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"), the Company provides non-GAAP measures, including in this release. Pegasystems’ management utilizes a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business, for making operating decisions, and for forecasting and planning for future periods. The Company’s annual financial plan is prepared both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, and both are approved by our board of directors. In addition and as a consequence of the importance of these measures in managing the business, the Company uses non-GAAP measures and financial performance results in the evaluation process to establish management’s compensation.

The non-GAAP measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles, acquisition-related and restructuring expenses, and certain other adjustments. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are helpful in understanding its past financial performance and its anticipated future results. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company’s GAAP to non-GAAP measures is included in the financial schedules at the end of this release.
