(1) eGain defines New Hosting and License Bookings as new contractual commitments (excluding renewals) received by it for the purchase of product licenses and hosting services. Such contracts are not cancelable for convenience but may be subject to termination by our customers for cause or breach of contract by eGain. Furthermore, because eGain offers a hybrid delivery model, the mix of new license and hosting business in a quarter could also have an impact on its revenue in a particular quarter. Due to effects that these trends have on eGain's short-term revenue and profitability, it believes that it is useful to disclose New Hosting and License Bookings detail in this and future financial releases. eGain uses this metric internally to focus management on the productivity of the sales team and period-to-period changes in its core business. Therefore, eGain believes that this information is meaningful and helpful in allowing individuals to better assess the ongoing nature of its core operations.
