“Q3 marked our third consecutive quarter of revenue growth. We
continue to drive product revenue momentum and, in particular,
strong Endpoint Security growth,” commented Patrick Dennis,
Guidance Software’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
In August, the Company announced an overhead reduction plan with
its Q2 earnings release. The Company expected the plan to result in
expense savings of $2.5 – $3.0 million in the second half of 2016.
The Company has saved approximately $2.0 million dollars in Q3
related to this ongoing initiative. In addition to the previously
announced expected savings, the Company has further reduced
expenses in Q3 and Q4 resulting in an updated 2016 financial
outlook. The full benefits, due to the timing and expenses incurred
as part of the 2016 realignment, are reflected in the 2017
financial outlook and the Company is forecasting positive non-GAAP
EBITDA of approximately 8-10% of revenue for 2017.
Mr. Dennis added, “We continue to align our cost structure to
focus on cybersecurity and profitable growth. Our overhead
reduction plan will result in a strong finish for 2016 and a
profitable outlook for 2017. Our pivot into cybersecurity combined
with our realignment efforts puts us in a strong competitive
position to drive shareholder value going forward.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Guidance Software reports its financial results in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. To
supplement this information, we present from time to time non-GAAP
gross profit, operating expenses, operating income (loss) and net
income (loss), as well as non-GAAP net income (loss) per share.
Non-GAAP gross profit consists of GAAP gross profit as reported and
adds back realignment expenses and share-based compensation expense
booked for GAAP purposes. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) consists
of GAAP operating income (loss) as reported and excludes
realignment expenses, amortization of intangibles, litigation
settlements, proxy contest expenses and share-based compensation
expense. Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of GAAP operating
income (loss) as reported and excludes realignment expenses,
amortization of intangibles, litigation settlements, proxy contest
expense and share-based compensation expense and the income tax
(benefit) provision.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures for internal managerial
purposes, when publicly providing our business outlook, and to
facilitate period-to-period comparisons. We describe additional
information specific to each item excluded from our non-GAAP
financial measures below. Management and the Board of Directors do
not consider these excluded items for purposes of evaluating the
performance of the Company, its business units and its management
teams and when making decisions to allocate resources among the
Company's business units. Management generally compensates for
limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on
comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures only in addition
to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with
GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an
additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when
viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding
of factors and trends affecting our business. These non-GAAP
measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a
substitute for, or superior to, the comparable financial measures
calculated in accordance with GAAP.
A reconciliation of our non-GAAP forward-looking measures to
corresponding GAAP forward-looking measures is not available as a
result of the uncertainty, and potential variability, in the
forward looking estimates of the reconciling items between such
non-GAAP forward-looking measures and the comparable
forward-looking GAAP measures. Certain factors that are materially
significant to our ability to estimate these items are out of our
control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, including the timing
and amount of realignment expenses, amortization of intangibles,
share-based compensation expense and income taxes.
Realignment Expenses. Realignment expenses represent
severance and related employment costs associated with a reduction
in headcount. Guidance Software excludes realignment expenses from
non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP
operating income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) because it
believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may
not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Guidance
Software business operations and (ii) such expenses are not
expected to recur in future periods.
Proxy Contest Expenses. Proxy contest expenses represent
one-time legal and other consulting expenses related to the proxy
contest between Guidance Software and its founder and former
chairman, which was settled on April 22, 2016. Guidance Software
excludes proxy contest expenses from non-GAAP operating expenses,
non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss)
because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific
period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of
Guidance Software business operations and (ii) such expenses are
uncommon and not expected to recur in future periods.
Litigation Settlements. Litigation settlement expense
represents a one-time settlement expense of a patent infringement
lawsuit with MyKey Technology, LLC. Litigation settlement income
represents a one-time settlement received from an indemnity lawsuit
related to the patent infringement lawsuit with MyKey Technology,
LLC. Guidance Software excludes litigation settlement expense and
income from non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income
(loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) because it believes (i) the
amount of such expense or income may not directly correlate to the
underlying performance of Guidance Software business operations and
(ii) such expense and income are uncommon and not expected to recur
in future periods.
Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles
is a non-cash expense arising from the acquisition of intangible
assets in connection with acquisitions. Guidance Software excludes
acquisition-related amortization expense from non-GAAP operating
expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP net income
(loss) because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any
specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying
performance of Guidance Software business operations and (ii) such
expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new
acquisitions and full amortization of previously acquired
intangible assets. Investors should note that the use of these
intangible assets contributed to revenue in the periods presented
and will contribute to future revenue generation and the related
amortization expense will recur in future periods.
Share-based Compensation Expense. Share-based
compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant
of stock awards to employees. Guidance Software excludes
share-based compensation expense from non-GAAP gross profit,
non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss) and
non-GAAP net income (loss) because it believes (i) the amount of
such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to
the underlying performance of Guidance Software business operations
and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a
result of the timing of grants of new share-based awards. Investors
should note that share-based compensation is a key incentive
offered to employees whose efforts contributed to the operating
results in the periods presented and are expected to contribute to
operating results in future periods and such expense will recur in
future periods.
Forward Looking Statements:
This news release contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that

uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from current expectations. There can be no assurance that demand
for Guidance Software's products will continue at current or
greater levels, or that the Company will continue to grow revenues,

pursuit of providing network security and e-discovery technology
might not be successful, or that if successful, it will not
materially enhance Guidance Software's financial performance; that
the Company could fail to retain key employees; that changes in
customer requirements and other general economic and political
uncertainties could impact Guidance Software's relationship with
its customers; and that delays in product development, competitive
pressures or technical difficulties could impact timely delivery of
next-generation products; and other risks and uncertainties that
are described from time to time in Guidance Software's periodic
reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Company specifically disclaims any
responsibility for updating these forward-looking statements.
