Summary
Salesforce.com, Inc. (CRM) filed an 8-K on May 18, 2005, to announce its financial results for the first quarter ended April 30, 2005. The report primarily references a press release detailing these results. A key aspect of the disclosure is the presentation of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, particularly for net income and earnings per diluted share. This allows investors to analyze the company's performance with and without the impact of a specific, one-time non-cash income item. The non-GAAP adjustments are made to exclude a $285,000 one-time, non-cash income gain recognized in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. This gain arose from an agreement with the company's landlord to modify a lease abandonment liability related to office space vacated in December 2001. Management asserts that these non-GAAP figures provide a more insightful view of the company's ongoing operational results and performance trends, which is crucial for investors assessing the core business momentum.
