Section 2 – Financial Information

Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 22, 2006, salesforce.com, inc. (the “Registrant”) issued a press release announcing its results for the quarter ended January 31, 2006. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

The press release attached to this current report on Form 8-K contains non-GAAP financial information. In addition to providing the Registrant’s net income and earnings per diluted share financial measures on a GAAP basis for the three months and year ended January 31, 2006, the press release also provides non-GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share figures.

The non-GAAP financial measures are derived from the applicable GAAP figures by excluding a one-time, non-cash income amount of $285,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 as a result of the reduction in the Registrant’s lease abandonment accrued liability. In March 2005, the Registrant entered into an agreement with its primary landlord that released the Registrant from a portion of the future obligations associated with office space abandoned in December 2001 in exchange for the agreement to lease additional office space elsewhere in the building.

The non-GAAP financial measures also reflect the exclusion of $6,769,000 of income in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 associated with the reversal of a portion of the Registrant’s deferred tax valuation allowance.

Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to give investors a more complete understanding of the Registrant’s underlying operational results and trends in its performance.

The information in this current report on Form 8-K and the exhibits attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
