Safe Harbor & Non-GAAP Financial Metrics
Forward Looking Statements:
Forward-looking statements in this communication are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the
Securities
Exchange
Act
of
1934
and
other
federal
securities
laws.
Investors
are
cautioned
that
statements
in
this
presentation,
which
are
not
strictly
historical
statements,
including
without
limitation,
the
statements
related
to
the
timing
associated
with
completing
the
merger
with
Danaher’s
communication
business
and
the
financial
guidance
for
NetScout’s
fourth
fiscal
quarter
and
other
financial
guidance,
constitute
forward-looking
statements
which
involve
risks
and
uncertainties.
Actual
results
could
differ
materially
from
the
forward-looking
statements
due
to
known
and
unknown
risk,
uncertainties,
assumptions
and
other
factors.
Such factors
include slowdowns or downturns in economic conditions generally and in the market for advanced network and service assurance solutions specifically, the
Company’s relationships with strategic partners, dependence upon broad-based acceptance of the Company’s network performance management solutions, the
presence of competitors with greater financial resources than ours and their strategic response to our products, our ability to retain key executives and employees, the
failure to obtain, delays in obtaining or adverse conditions related to obtaining shareholder or regulatory approvals; the anticipated tax treatment of the transaction and
related transactions; risks relating to any unforeseen changes to or the effects on liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenue, expenses, synergies, indebtedness,
financial condition, losses and future prospects; failure to consummate or delay in consummating the transaction for other reasons; and the ability of NetScout to
successfully
integrate
the
merged
assets
and
the
associated
technology
and
achieve
operational
efficiencies.
For
a
more
detailed
description
of
the
risk
factors
associated with the Company, please refer to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2014 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014, all of which are on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  NetScout assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information contained in this communication or with respect to
the announcements described herein.
Regulation G Disclosure:
This presentation makes reference to certain non-GAAP measures such as non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share. 
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP (revenue,
net income and diluted net income per share), and may have limitations in that they do not reflect all of NetScout’s results of operations as determined in accordance
with GAAP.  These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate NetScout’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. 
The presentation of non-GAAP information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation from or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with
GAAP. NetScout believes these non-GAAP financial measures will enhance the reader’s overall understanding of NetScout’s current financial performance and
NetScout's prospects for the future by providing a higher degree
of transparency for certain financial measures and providing a level of disclosure that helps investors
understand
how
the
Company
plans
and
measures
its
own
business.
NetScout
believes
that
providing
these
non-GAAP
measures
affords
investors
a
view
of
NetScout’s operating results that may be more easily compared to peer companies and also enables investors to consider NetScout’s operating results on both a
GAAP and non-GAAP basis during and following the integration period of NetScout’s acquisitions. Presenting the GAAP measures on their own would not be
indicative of NetScout’s core operating results.   Furthermore, NetScout believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures when shown in conjunction with the
corresponding GAAP measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding present and future business trends relating to its financial
condition and results of operations. NetScout management regularly uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate
its
business
and
to
make
operating
decisions.
These
non-GAAP
measures
are
among
the
primary
factors
that
management
uses
in
planning
and
forecasting.
The
reconciliation
of
these
non-GAAP
metrics
to
the
comparable
GAAP
metrics
are
set
forth
in
the
accompanying
tables
in
the
index
of
this
presentation
and
are
available
on
our
website
