SAN MATEO, Calif—November 4, 2010—NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry’s leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP software suites, today announced operating results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was $49.7 million, representing a 19% increase over the prior year. Subscription and support revenue for the third quarter was $41.8 million, representing 19% growth over the same period in the prior year.

GAAP operating loss for the third quarter of 2010 was $6.6 million, compared to a GAAP
operating loss of $8.0 million in the third quarter of 2009. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter of 2010 was $7.0 million, or $(0.11) per share, as compared to a net loss of $8.0 million, or $(0.13) per share in the third quarter of 2009.

Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2010 improved 600% year-over-year,
growing to $2.9 million, as compared to non-GAAP operating income of $419,000 in the third quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $2.6 million, or $0.04 per share, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $348,000, or $0.01 per share, for the third quarter of 2009.

“It was another great quarter at NetSuite, and our record results and raised outlook reinforce that customers are running to the NetSuite Cloud from pre-Web applications like Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains. We are hitting the tipping point as traditional, inflexible mid-market ERP approaches are thrown out in favour of NetSuite’s modern cloud-based approach to running a business," said Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite. “We are again raising our 2010 outlook for revenue, operating cash flow and non-GAAP net income based on the accelerating adoption of NetSuite’s cloud computing applications by enterprises around the world.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company’s stated results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non- GAAP operating income/(loss), net income/(loss), weighted average shares outstanding, and net income/(loss) per share. Non-GAAP operating income/(loss) and Non-GAAP net income/(loss) excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and transaction costs for business combinations. Non-GAAP operating income/(loss) and Non-GAAP net income/(loss) excludes these expenses as they are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business, and in the case of stock-based compensation, can be difficult to predict. The Company believes these adjustments provide useful comparative information to investors.

The Company considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating 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 operating 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.
