Total revenue for the year was US$108.5 million, a year-over-year increase of 62%. Total revenue for the fourth quarter was US$31.7 million, a 57% increase over the fourth quarter of 2006, and a 13% increase over the third quarter of 2007. The fourth quarter of 2007 marked the 33rd consecutive quarter of increased revenue for NetSuite. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the fourth quarter of 2007 was US$(3.3 million), or US$(0.22) per share, compared to US$(8.1 million), or US$(1.25) per share in the fourth quarter of 2006. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was US$(23.9 million), or US$(2.45) per share, compared to US$(35.7 million), or US$(6.42) per share, in 2006.

These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and beliefs of NetSuite's management as of February 14, 2008 and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, and NetSuite disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements. In particular, the following factors, among others, could cause results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements: the market for on-demand services may develop more slowly than expected; quarterly operating results may fluctuate more than expected; unexpected disruptions of service at the Company's data center may occur; a security breach may impact operations; risks associated with material defects or errors in the Company's software or the effect of undetected computer viruses could impact operations; the risk of technological developments and innovations by others; the risk of loss of power or disruption in Internet service; failure to manage growth; the ability to manage operations when faced with competitive pricing and marketing strategies by competitors; the risk of losing key employees; increased demands on employees and costs associated with operating as a public company; evolving government regulation of the Internet and e-commerce; changes to current accounting rules; general political, economic and market conditions and events, including war, conflict or acts of terrorism; and other risks and uncertainties. For a detailed discussion of these and other cautionary statements, please refer to the risk factors discussed in filings with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including but not limited to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1/A filed on December 19, 2007, and any subsequently filed reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. All documents are available through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system (EDGAR) at http://www.sec.gov or NetSuite's website at http://www.netsuite.com. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company's stated results include certain non-GAAP measures, including net loss, weighted average shares outstanding, and net loss per share. Non-GAAP net loss excludes stock-based compensation as these expenses are non-cash items that are difficult to predict and are often excluded by other companies. Additionally, non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding, the denominator for the non-GAAP net loss per share calculation, assumes the conversion of preferred stock and the issuance of common stock as part of the Company's Initial Public Offering had occurred at the beginning of the applicable period. The Company considers these events to be non-routine, and believes these adjustments provide useful comparative information to investors. The Company considers these non-GAAP measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operational performance of the Company and are used by the Company's management for that purpose. In addition, investors often use measures such as these to evaluate the financial performance of a company. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the Company's operating results. The non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

We believe these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of NetSuite's underlying operating results and trends and our marketplace performance. The non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance that are considered by management for the purpose of making operational decisions. In addition, these non-GAAP results are the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this addition (a) Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) for options granted after January 1, 2006, and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 for options granted before January 1, 2006. While a large component of our expense in certain periods, we believe investors want to exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expense in order to compare our financial performance with that of other companies and between time periods. (b) Represents common shares issued in the company's IPO as if the shares were issued as of the beginning of the comparable periods. We believe investors want to give effect to the issuance for prior periods in order to compare our financial performance with that of other companies and between time periods. (c) Represents common shares from the conversion of convertible preferred shares as if the shares were converted as of the beginning of the comparable periods. Convertible preferred shares were converted into common shares as of December 20, 2007, the date of our IPO. We believe investors want to give effect to the conversion for prior periods in order to compare our financial performance with that of other companies and between time periods. NETSUITE INC.
