Business Perspective
"In addition to continued growth in our traditional industries, we had new traction in emerging segments such as energy, manufacturing, and government," said Alan Trefler, Founder and CEO of Pegasystems. "This interest in our industry-leading software for customer centricity was facilitated by the increased engagement of our partner ecosystem. Major client wins included some of the largest global firms, including a major Canadian financial services institution, an electronics manufacturer, an enormous energy company, and a top-tier European insurer."
"Leading industry analysts confirmed our momentum by reporting Pegasystems as the fastest-growing BPM vendor, surpassing Oracle and Adobe in market share. Our leading position in CRM was similarly confirmed in their updated CRM vendor ranking. We improved our position even before we brought to market our new marketing analytics automation platform that gives CMOs a 'killer app' for inbound and outbound marketing to drive improved customer experience and revenue growth. We're looking forward to hosting 2,000 attendees at our upcoming PegaWORLD user conference to dig into these hot topics with our clients and partners," concluded Mr. Trefler.
Craig Dynes, Pegasystems' CFO, added, "In addition to our earnings, the fact that we were able to grow the aggregate value of our license backlog from a Q4 to a Q1 is evidence of a solid start to the year. We are working a good pipeline of deals in what we expect will be another back-end loaded year."
Messrs. Trefler and Dynes will host a conference call and live Webcast associated with this announcement at 6:00 p.m. EDT on May 3, 2012. Dial-in information is as follows: (877) 348-9349 (domestic) or (678) 809-1046 (international).

Discussion of Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement financial results presented on a GAAP basis, 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 the Non-GAAP annual financial plan is 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 results in the evaluation process to establish management's compensation.
The Non-GAAP measures exclude certain business combination accounting entries and expenses related to our 2010 acquisition of Chordiant, as well as other significant expenses including stock-based compensation. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our 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 our 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 the release.

FOOTNOTES FOR RECONCILIATON OF
SELECTED GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
(1) This presentation includes Non-GAAP measures. Our Non-GAAP 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
our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
For a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP
measures, the reasons why management uses these measures, the usefulness
of these measures and the material limitations on the usefulness of
these measures see disclosure under Discussion of Non-GAAP Measures
included earlier in this release and below. Our Non-GAAP financial
measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as
the related income tax effects:
Amortization of intangible assets: We have excluded the effect of
amortization of intangible assets acquired from Chordiant from our Non-
GAAP operating expenses and net earnings measures. Amortization of
intangible assets is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is
significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions.
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 intangible assets
will recur in future periods.
Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-
based compensation expenses from our Non-GAAP operating expenses and net
earnings measures. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive
offered to our employees, and we believe such compensation contributed
to the revenues earned during the periods presented and that it will
contribute to the generation of future period revenues, we continue to
evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation
expense.
Rent, depreciation & moving expenses: As a result of our entering into a
lease arrangement in June 2011 for our new office headquarters in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, we expect to cease the use of our current
offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the second half of 2012 and
abandon certain leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures.
Accordingly, in June 2011 we revised the remaining useful lives of these
fixed assets and recorded incremental depreciation expense of $0.1
million during the first quarter of 2012. In addition, we recorded rent
expense of $1.5 million associated with our new office headquarters
during the first quarter of 2012. Lastly, we incurred approximately $0.3
million of rent-related and equipment expenses in connection with our
move during the first quarter of 2012. We believe these incremental
expenses for existing and new office headquarters as a result of our
moving our headquarters is not representative of our ongoing business.
The differences between our GAAP and Non-GAAP effective tax rate in the
first quarter of 2012 is primarily due to the impact of higher Non-GAAP
income before taxes.
