Use of Non-GAAP Financial
MeasuresWe disclose non-GAAP gross margin percentage,
operating margin percentage, pre-tax EPS and income from continuing
operations as a supplemental measure to U.S. GAAP income from
continuing operations regarding our operational performance. These
financial measures exclude the impact of certain items that we do
not believe are indicative of our core operating results;
therefore, it has not been calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP pre-tax income from continuing
operations to GAAP income from continuing operations, which
identifies the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures, are
provided in the table below titled "Reconciliation of GAAP to
Non-GAAP Financial Measures".
We believe that these additional non-GAAP financial measures are
useful to investors in assessing our operating performance. We also
use these financial measures internally to evaluate our operating
performance and for planning and forecasting of future periods. In
addition, financial analysts that follow us may focus on and
publish both historical results and future projections based on our
non-GAAP financial measures. We also believe that it is in the best
interests of our investors to provide this non-GAAP
information.
While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations
associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. Our
non-GAAP financial measures may not be reported by all of our
competitors and it may not be directly comparable to similarly
titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in
calculation. We compensate for these limitations by using these
non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to U.S. GAAP and by
providing a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to
its most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with or an
alternative for U.S. GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not
meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and it should be read only
in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared
in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
