Section 2 – Financial Information

 

Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On February 17, 2005, salesforce.com, inc. issued a press release announcing its results for the quarter ended January 31, 2005. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The press release attached to this current report on Form 8-K contains non-GAAP financial information. In addition to providing the registrant’s net income and earnings per diluted share financial measures on a GAAP basis for the periods discussed, the press release also provides non-GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share figures. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived from the applicable GAAP figures by excluding a one-time, non-cash expense of $897,000 recorded by the registrant in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year as a result of increasing its accrued liability associated with the remaining available office space that was abandoned in December 2001. Management believes that by providing these non-GAAP financial measures investors will have a more complete understanding of salesforce.com’s underlying operational results and trends in its performance.

 

The information in this current report on Form 8-K and the exhibits attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
