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.
