___________
(1) This press release uses non-GAAP financial metrics that are adjusted for the impact of various GAAP items. See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the tables entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for details.
(2) Veeva is not able, at this time, to provide GAAP targets for operating income and fully diluted net income per share for the second fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2025 or the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 because of the difficulty of estimating certain items excluded from non-GAAP operating income and
non-GAAP fully diluted net income per share that cannot be reasonably predicted, such as charges related to stock-based compensation expense. The effect of these excluded items may be significant.

Supplemental disclosures of other cash flow information:
Excess tax benefits from employee stock plans $2,579 $3,121
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In Veeva's public disclosures, Veeva has provided non-GAAP measures, which it defines as financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. In addition to its GAAP measures, Veeva uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally for budgeting and resource allocation purposes and in analyzing its financial results. For the reasons set forth below, Veeva believes that excluding the following items provides information that is helpful in understanding its operating results, evaluating its future prospects, comparing its financial results across accounting periods, and comparing its financial results to its peers, many of which provide similar non-GAAP financial measures.
-- Excess tax benefits. Excess tax benefits from employee stock plans are
dependent on previously agreed-upon equity grants to our employees,
vesting of those grants, stock price, and exercise behavior of our
employees, which can fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Because these
fluctuations are not directly related to our business operations, Veeva
excludes excess tax benefits for its internal management reporting
processes. Veeva management also finds it useful to exclude excess tax
benefits when assessing the level of cash provided by operating
activities. Given the nature of the excess tax benefits, Veeva believes
excluding it allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between our
operating cash flows from quarter to quarter and those of other
companies.
-- Stock-based compensation expenses. Veeva excludes stock-based
compensation expenses primarily because they are non-cash expenses that
Veeva excludes from its internal management reporting processes. Veeva's
management also finds it useful to exclude these expenses when they
assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses and resource
allocations when budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods.
Moreover, because of varying available valuation methodologies,
subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can
use, Veeva believes excluding stock-based compensation expenses allows
investors to make meaningful comparisons between our recurring core
business operating results and those of other companies.
-- Amortization of purchased intangibles. Veeva incurs amortization expense
for purchased intangible assets in connection with acquisitions of
certain businesses and technologies. Amortization of intangible assets
is a non-cash expense and is inconsistent in amount and frequency
because it is significantly affected by the timing, size of acquisitions
and the inherent subjective nature of purchase price allocations.
Because these costs have already been incurred and cannot be recovered,
and are non-cash expenses, Veeva excludes these expenses for its
internal management reporting processes. Veeva's management also finds
it useful to exclude these charges when assessing the appropriate level
of various operating expenses and resource allocations when budgeting,
planning and forecasting future periods. Investors should note that the
use of intangible assets contributed to Veeva's revenues earned during
the periods presented and will contribute to Veeva's future period
revenues as well.
-- Litigation settlement. We exclude costs related to the settlement of
certain litigation matters because they are non-recurring and outside
the ordinary course of business. Because these costs are unrelated to
our day-to-day business operations, we believe excluding them enables
more consistent evaluation of our operating results.
-- Income tax effects on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and
expenses. The income tax effects that are excluded relate to the imputed
tax impact on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and
expenses due to stock-based compensation and purchased intangibles for
GAAP and non-GAAP measures.
There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures because non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by Veeva's management about which items are adjusted to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures. Veeva compensates for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in its public disclosures.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Veeva encourages its investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business, and to view its non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables below.
