In inclusion for the causes stated above, that are usually applicable to each of the items Glu excludes from its non-GAAP monetary measures, Glu believes it is appropriate for you to exclude specific objects for your next reasons: Change throughout Deferred Revenues along with Deferred Expense involving Revenues. With your date we offer specific premium games as well as micro-transactions, Glu comes together with an obligation to provide extra services and also incremental unspecified digital content material in the future without one more fee. Within these cases, we recognize the actual revenues and then pertaining to any related expense associated with revenues, including platform commissions and also royalties, on a straight-line basis more than the estimated existence of the paying user. Internally, Glu's management excludes your impact of the modifications in deferred income and deferred price regarding revenues associated to its premium along with free-to-play games within its non-GAAP monetary measures when evaluating the particular company's operating performance, when planning, forecasting as well as analyzing future periods, and when assessing the performance regarding its management team.

While analyzing the particular operating performance regarding an acquired entity, Glu's management focuses about the total return provided by the investment (i.e., operating profit generated in the acquired entity as in contrast to the buy value paid) with out using into thought virtually any allocations made for accounting purposes. Simply Because purchasing price to have an acquisition automatically reflects the actual accounting value assigned for you to intangible assets (including acquired in-process technology and goodwill), when analyzing your operating performance regarding an acquisition in subsequent periods, Glu's management excludes the particular GAAP impact of acquired intangible assets for you to its monetary results. Glu believes in which such an approach is advantageous throughout knowing the long-term return provided by an acquisition and also that investors take benefit of a supplemental non-GAAP monetary measure in which excludes the actual accounting expense associated using acquired intangible assets. Non-cash Warrant Expense. Inside the third quarter involving 2013, Glu recorded a non-cash charge associated towards the vesting regarding warrants to buy shares regarding typical stock issued to a brand name holder as portion of a 3rd party licensing, development along with publishing arrangement. These kinds of fees had been computed making use of your Black-Scholes valuation model along with had been recorded in cost associated with revenues. Whenever evaluating the actual performance associated with its consolidated results, Glu does not think about non-cash warrant expense as it places a greater emphasis about all round stockholder dilution as opposed to the actual accounting charges associated using the vesting involving any kind of warrants. Because the actual non-cash warrant expense impacts comparability from period for you to time period Glu believes that will investors reap your benefits of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measure which excludes these charges. Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Glu adopted ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" starting within its fiscal yr ended December 31, 2006. Included inside the stock compensation expense may be the contingent thought potentially issuable towards the Blammo employees who were former shareholders regarding Blammo, that is recorded as research along with development expense more than the term of the earn-out periods, as these employees are primarily employed in item development. Glu re-measures your fair worth of your contingent consideration each reporting time period and just records a new compensation expense for that part of the earn-out target that is most likely to be achieved. in addition, Glu is confronted with potential continued fluctuations in the fair marketplace worth of the contingent thought within each as well as every reporting period, since re-measurement is actually impacted simply by alterations in Glu's reveal value and in addition the assumptions utilized by Glu. Any time evaluating the performance associated with its consolidated results, Glu does not contemplate stock-based compensation charges. Likewise, Glu's management team excludes stock-based compensation expense coming from its short along with long-term operating plans. Throughout contrast, Glu's management team is held accountable for cash-based compensation and such amounts are generally included within its operating plans. Further, when considering your impact involving equity award grants, Glu places the greater emphasis about all round stockholder dilution as opposed to the actual accounting charges related with your grants. Glu believes it is effective to always be able to give a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes stock-based compensation to always be able to better view the long-term performance involving its business. Restructuring Charges. Glu undertook restructuring activities in the very first and 2nd quarters involving 2013 as well as the 2nd quarter regarding 2014 as well as recorded (1) non-cash restructuring fees thanks to be able to vacating the portion regarding its offices throughout Washington, vacating its Brazil workplace and writing-off your cumulative translation adjustment upon significant liquidation involving its Brazilian entity; and (2) money restructuring charges due towards the termination associated with specific employees within its Brazil, China, Europe as well as U.S. offices. Glu recorded your severance expenses being an operating expense in the wedding it communicated the actual benefit arrangement for the employee and no significant future services, additional than a minimum retention period, were necessary with the employee in order to create the termination benefits. Glu believes in which these restructuring fees do not reflect its ongoing operations as well as which investors benefit from a new supplemental non-GAAP economic measure that excludes these charges. Change inside Fair value of Blammo Earnout. Because part of the particular acquisition involving Blammo, Glu dedicated in order to issue additional thought within the kind of Glu's typical stock to the former, non-employee Blammo shareholders if certain revenue targets are usually achieved. Glu recorded the estimated contingent thought liability at acquisition and will modify the particular fair worth of the particular liability every reporting period. Any time analyzing the operating performance regarding an acquired entity, Glu's management focuses about the total return provided through the investment (i.e., operating gain generated from the acquired entity as compared for the obtain cost paid such as the final quantities paid out regarding contingent consideration) without having getting into thought just about any expenses acknowledged post- acquisition associated towards the change in fair value of your contingent consideration. Since the ultimate buy price compensated for an acquisition necessarily reflects your accounting value assigned to be able to both the particular consideration, such as the contingent consideration, paid out and also for the intangible assets (including goodwill) acquired, when analyzing the particular operating performance associated with an acquisition inside subsequent periods, the particular Company's management excludes your GAAP impact regarding any kind of adjustments for the fair value of these acquisition-related balances for you to its financial results. Glu believes that the fair worth adjustments affect comparability through period to end up being able to period along with which investors reap your benefits of a new supplemental non-GAAP financial measure which excludes these charges. Transitional Costs.

Glu has incurred various costs associated for the acquisition and also integration involving PlayFirst in to Glu's operations. Glu recorded these non-recurring acquisition and transitional expenses as operating expenses when these were incurred.

Release involving tax liabilities. Throughout the second quarter of 2013, Glu recorded the non-cash earnings tax advantage related to the relieve specific foreign earnings tax liabilities upon your expiration of the statute involving limitations. Glu believes this one-time tax advantage will not reflect its ongoing operations as well as which investors reap your advantages of a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure which excludes this benefit. Foreign foreign exchange gains along with losses. Foreign currency exchange gains and also losses represent your net acquire as well as loss that Glu has recorded for that impact involving currency exchange charge actions on cash and other assets as well as liabilities denominated throughout foreign currencies related to the revaluation associated with assets and also liabilities. Accordingly, foreign forex gains and losses are typically unpredictable as well as can cause Glu's reported results to vary significantly. due towards the unusual magnitude of these gains along with losses, and the fact that Glu has certainly not engaged within hedging as well as taken some other actions to lessen the actual likelihood regarding incurring any sizeable net gain as well as loss inside future periods, Glu began, using the quarter ended December 31, 2008, to become able to present non-GAAP net loss along with net loss for each reveal excluding foreign exchange gains along with losses pertaining to comparability purposes. Glu believes in which these gains as well as losses do not reflect its ongoing operations and also that will investors benefit from a new supplemental non-GAAP economic measure in which excludes these items, enabling investors to check Glu's core operating results in numerous durations without having this variability.
