Manhattan Associates currently intends to publish in each
quarterly earnings release certain expectations with respect to
future financial performance. Those statements, including the
guidance provided above, are forward looking. Actual results may
differ materially. See our cautionary note regarding
“forward-looking statements” below.
Manhattan Associates will make this earnings release and
published expectations available on the investor relations section
of the Manhattan Associates website at ir.manh.com. Following
publication of this earnings release, any expectations with respect
to future financial performance contained in this release,
including the guidance, should be considered historical only, and
Manhattan Associates disclaims any obligation to update them.
CONFERENCE CALL
Manhattan Associates’ conference call regarding its second
quarter financial results will be held today, July 23, 2024, at
4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The Company will also discuss its business
and expectations for the year and next quarter in additional detail
during the call. We invite investors to a live webcast of the
conference call through the Investor Relations section of the
Manhattan Associates website at ir.manh.com. To listen to the live
webcast, please go to the website at least 15 minutes before the
call to download and install any necessary audio software. The
Internet webcast will be available until Manhattan Associates’
third quarter 2024 earnings release.
GAAP VERSUS NON-GAAP PRESENTATION
Manhattan Associates provides adjusted operating income and
margin, adjusted income tax provision, adjusted net income, and
adjusted diluted earnings per share in this press release as
additional information regarding the Company’s historical and
projected operating results. These measures are not in accordance
with, or alternatives to, GAAP, and may be different from similarly
titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The Company
believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures
facilitates investors’ ability to understand and compare the
Company’s results and guidance, because the measures provide
supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of its
business, as distinct from results that include items not
indicative of ongoing operating results, and because the Company
believes its peers typically publish similar non-GAAP measures.
This release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form
8-K earnings release filing for the three and six months ended June
30, 2024.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted income
tax provision, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings
per share exclude the impact of equity-based compensation – net of
income tax effects. They also exclude the tax benefits or
deficiencies of vested stock awards caused by differences in the
amount deductible for tax purposes from the compensation expense
recorded for financial reporting purposes. We include
reconciliations of the Company’s GAAP financial measures to
non-GAAP adjustments in the supplemental information attached to
this release.

Adjusted results exclude all equity-based

peers and for the other reasons explained in our Current Report on
Form 8-K filed with the SEC. We do not receive a GAAP tax benefit
for a portion of our equity-based compensation, mainly because of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which limits tax
deductions for compensation granted to certain executives.

Adjustments represent the excess tax
benefits and tax deficiencies of the equity awards vested during
the period. Excess tax benefits (deficiencies) occur when the
amount deductible on our tax return for an equity award is more
(less) than the cumulative compensation cost recognized for
financial reporting purposes. As discussed above, we exclude
equity-based compensation from adjusted non-GAAP results to be
consistent with other companies in the software industry and for
the other reasons explained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed
with the SEC. Therefore, we also exclude the related tax benefit
(expense) generated upon their vesting.
