(1) On January 1, 2017, the
Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09,
Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.
Under this standard, excess tax benefits are no longer classified
as a reduction of cash flows from operating activities. The Company
retrospectively adopted this standard and revised cash flows from
operating activities by $1.5 million
and $2.6 million for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2016,
respectively. The increase caused a corresponding decrease to cash
flows from financing activities.

(1) Capital expenditures presented in this table are
reported on an accrual basis, which differs from the cash-basis
presentation in the statements of cash flows. The primary
difference between the two is the change in purchases of property
and equipment and capitalization of internal-use software
development costs accrued for, but not paid, at period end.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial measurements based on
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), Akamai
provides additional financial metrics that are not prepared in
accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP). Management uses non-GAAP financial
measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and
compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial
and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting
purposes, to measure executive compensation and to evaluate
Akamai's financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures
are non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin,
non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, Adjusted
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, capital expenditures and impact of
foreign currency exchange rates, as discussed below.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures
reflect Akamai's ongoing business in a manner that allows for
meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as
they facilitate comparing financial results across accounting
periods and to those of peer companies. Management also believes
that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to evaluate
Akamai's operating results and future prospects in the same manner
as management. These non-GAAP financial measures may exclude
expenses and gains that may be unusual in nature, infrequent or not
reflective of Akamai's ongoing operating results.
The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation
of Akamai's GAAP financial results and should only be used as a
supplement to, not as a substitute for, Akamai's financial results
presented in accordance with GAAP. Akamai has provided a
reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in its
financial reporting and investor presentations to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure. This reconciliation captioned
"Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" can be
found on the Investor Relations section of Akamai's website.
The non-GAAP adjustments, and Akamai's basis for excluding them
from non-GAAP financial measures, are outlined below:
- Amortization of acquired intangible assets – Akamai has
incurred amortization of intangible assets, included in its GAAP
financial statements, related to various acquisitions Akamai has
made. The amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to
intangible assets and term of its related amortization can vary
significantly and are unique to each acquisition; therefore, Akamai
excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets from its
non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with a consistent
basis for comparing pre- and post-acquisition operating
results.
- Stock-based compensation and amortization of capitalized
stock-based compensation – Although stock-based
compensation is an important aspect of the compensation paid to
Akamai's employees, the grant date fair value varies based on the
stock price at the time of grant, varying valuation methodologies,
subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. This makes
the comparison of Akamai's current financial results to previous
and future periods difficult to interpret; therefore, Akamai
believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation and
amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation from its
non-GAAP financial measures in order to highlight the performance
of Akamai's core business and to be consistent with the way many
investors evaluate its performance and compare its operating
results to peer companies.
- Acquisition-related costs – Acquisition-related costs
include transaction fees, advisory fees, due diligence costs and
other direct costs associated with strategic activities. In
addition, subsequent adjustments to Akamai's initial estimated
amounts of contingent consideration and indemnification associated
with specific acquisitions are included within acquisition-related
costs. These amounts are impacted by the timing and size of the
acquisitions. Akamai excludes acquisition-related costs from its
non-GAAP financial measures to provide a useful comparison of
Akamai's operating results to prior periods and to its peer
companies because such amounts vary significantly based on the
magnitude of the acquisition transactions.
- Restructuring charges – Akamai has incurred
restructuring charges that are included in its GAAP financial
statements, primarily related to workforce reductions and estimated
costs of exiting facility lease commitments. Akamai excludes these
items from its non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating its
continuing business performance as such items vary significantly
based on the magnitude of the restructuring action and do not
reflect expected future operating expenses. In addition, these
charges do not necessarily provide meaningful insight into the
fundamentals of current or past operations of its
business.
- Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs and
amortization of capitalized interest expense – In February 2014, Akamai issued $690 million of convertible senior notes due 2019
with a coupon interest rate of 0%. The imputed interest rate of the
convertible senior notes was approximately 3.2%. This is a result
of the debt discount recorded for the conversion feature that is
required to be separately accounted for as equity under GAAP,
thereby reducing the carrying value of the convertible debt
instrument. The debt discount is amortized as interest expense
together with the issuance costs of the debt. All of Akamai's
interest expense is comprised of these non-cash components and is
excluded from management's assessment of the company's operating
performance because management believes the non-cash expense is not
representative of ongoing operating performance.
- Legal matter costs – Akamai has incurred losses from the
settlement of legal matters and costs with respect to its internal
U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") investigation in
addition to the disgorgement Akamai was required to pay to resolve
it. Akamai believes excluding these amounts from its non-GAAP
financial measures is useful to investors as the types of events
giving rise to them are not representative of Akamai's core
business operations.
- Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments and certain
discrete tax items – The non-GAAP adjustments described
above are reported on a pre-tax basis. The income tax effect of
non-GAAP adjustments is the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP
income tax expense. Non-GAAP income tax expense is computed on
non-GAAP pre-tax income (GAAP pre-tax income adjusted for non-GAAP
adjustments) and excludes certain discrete tax items (such as
recording or releasing of valuation allowances), if any. Akamai
believes that applying the non GAAP adjustments and their related
income tax effect allows Akamai to highlight income attributable to
its core operations.
Akamai's definitions of its non-GAAP financial measures are
outlined below:
Non-GAAP income from operations – GAAP income from
operations adjusted for the following items: amortization of
acquired intangible assets; stock-based compensation; amortization
of capitalized stock-based compensation; amortization of
capitalized interest expense; acquisition-related costs;
restructuring charges; benefit from adoption of software
development activities; gains and other activity related to
divestiture of a business; gains and losses on legal settlements;
costs incurred with respect to Akamai's internal FCPA
investigation; and other non-recurring or unusual items that may
arise from time to time.
Non-GAAP operating margin – Non-GAAP income from
operations stated as a percentage of revenue.
Non-GAAP net income – GAAP net income adjusted for
the following tax-affected items: amortization of acquired
intangible assets; stock-based compensation; amortization of
capitalized stock-based compensation; acquisition-related costs;
restructuring charges; benefit from adoption of software
development activities; gains and other activity related to
divestiture of a business; gains and losses on legal settlements;
costs incurred with respect to Akamai's internal FCPA
investigation; loss on early extinguishment of debt; amortization
of debt discount and issuance costs; amortization of capitalized
interest expense; certain gains and losses on investments; and
other non-recurring or unusual items that may arise from time to
time.
Non-GAAP net income per share – Non-GAAP net income
divided by basic weighted average or diluted common shares
outstanding. Basic weighted average shares outstanding are those
used in GAAP net income per share calculations. Diluted weighted
average shares outstanding are adjusted in non-GAAP per share
calculations for the shares that would be delivered to Akamai
pursuant to the note hedge transaction entered into in connection
with the issuance of $690 million of
convertible senior notes due 2019. Under GAAP, shares delivered
under hedge transactions are not considered offsetting shares in
the fully-diluted share calculation until they are delivered.
However, the company would receive a benefit from the note hedge
transaction and would not allow the dilution to occur, so
management believes that adjusting for this benefit provides a
meaningful view of operating performance. Unless and until Akamai's
weighted average stock price is greater than $89.56, the initial conversion price, there will
be no difference between GAAP and non-GAAP diluted weighted average
common shares outstanding.
Adjusted EBITDA – GAAP net income excluding the following
items: interest income; income taxes; depreciation and amortization
of tangible and intangible assets; stock-based compensation;
amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation;
acquisition-related costs; restructuring charges; benefit from
adoption of software development activities; gains and other
activity related to divestiture of a business; gains and losses on
legal settlements; costs incurred with respect to Akamai's internal
FCPA investigation; foreign exchange gains and losses; loss on
early extinguishment of debt; amortization of debt discount and
issuance costs; amortization of capitalized interest expense;
certain gains and losses on investments; and other non-recurring or
unusual items that may arise from time to time.
Adjusted EBITDA margin – Adjusted EBITDA stated as a
percentage of revenue.
Capital expenditures, or capex, excluding stock-based
compensation and interest expense – Purchases of property and
equipment and capitalization of internal-use software development
costs presented on an accrual basis, which differs from the
cash-basis presentation included in the statements of cash flows.
The primary difference between the two is the change in purchases
of property and equipment and capitalization of internal-use
software development costs accrued for, but not paid, at period
end.
Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates – Revenue and
earnings from international operations have historically been an
important contributor to Akamai's financial results. Consequently,
Akamai's financial results have been impacted, and management
expects they will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates. For example, when the local
currencies of our foreign subsidiaries weaken, our consolidated
results stated in U.S. dollars are negatively impacted.
Because exchange rates are a meaningful factor in understanding
period-to-period comparisons, management believes the presentation
of the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on revenue and
earnings enhances the understanding of our financial results and
evaluation of performance in comparison to prior periods. The
dollar impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
presented is calculated by translating current period results using
monthly average foreign currency exchange rates from the
comparative period and comparing them to the reported amount.
The percentage change at constant currency presented is calculated
by comparing the prior period amounts as reported and the current
period amounts translated using the same monthly average foreign
currency exchange rates from the comparative period.

Akamai Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act
This release and/or our quarterly earnings
conference call scheduled for later today contain information about
future expectations, plans and prospects of Akamai's management
that constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe
harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995, including statements about expected revenue growth and
future profitability levels. Actual results may differ materially
from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a
result of various important factors including, but not limited to,
failure of our investments in innovation to generate solutions that
are accepted in the market; inability to increase our revenue at
the same rate as in the past and keep our expenses from increasing
at a greater rate than our revenues; delay in developing or failure
to develop new service offerings or functionalities, and if
developed, lack of market acceptance of such service offerings and
functionalities or failure of such solutions to operate as
