Comment Regarding Non-GAAP

Sapiens' management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures can enhance the understanding of the company's ongoing economic performance, and provides useful information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company's financial condition and results of operations. Sapiens therefore uses internally the non-GAAP information to evaluate and manage the Company's operations.

This non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Sapiens believes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Sapiens' results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Sapiens' results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
