Bottomline believes that these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because it allows for an evaluation of the company with a focus on the performance of its core operations. Bottomline's executive management team uses these same non-GAAP measures internally to assess the ongoing performance of the company. Since this information is not a GAAP measurement of financial performance there are material limitations to its usefulness on a stand-alone (jargon) stand-alone - Capable of operating without other programs, libraries, computers, hardware, networks, etc. Exactly what is absent is presumed to be obvious from context.
