Non-GAAP Measures
This release includes GAAP and non-GAAP income and per-share
earnings data and other GAAP and non-GAAP financial information.
Advanced Energy’s non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of non-cash
related charges such as stock-based compensation and amortization
of intangible assets, as well as discontinued operations, and
non-recurring items such as acquisition-related costs and
restructuring expenses. Beginning in Q2 2020, Advanced Energy’s
non-GAAP measures exclude non-cash unrealized foreign currency
gains or losses that result from remeasurement to functional
currency long-term obligations related to pension and operating
lease liabilities as the remeasurement does not represent current
economic exposure and is unrelated to our overall operating
performance. These long-term obligations were acquired in
connection with the Artesyn acquisition and the Company previously
used derivatives to hedge the exposure; however, the Company has
determined it will no longer hedge these non-economic exposures.
The tax effect of our non-GAAP adjustments represents the
anticipated annual tax rate applied to each non-GAAP adjustment
after consideration of their respective book and tax
treatments.
The non-GAAP measures included in this release are not in
accordance with, or an alternative for, similar measures calculated
under generally accepted accounting principles and may be different
from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these
non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of
accounting rules or principles. Advanced Energy believes that these
non-GAAP measures provide useful information to management and
investors to evaluate business performance without the impacts of
certain non-cash charges, non-economic foreign currency
remeasurements, and other cash charges which are not part of the
company’s usual operations. The company uses these non-GAAP
measures to assess performance against business objectives, make
business decisions, develop budgets, forecast future periods,
assess trends and evaluate financial impacts of various scenarios.
In addition, management’s incentive plans include these non-GAAP
measures as criteria for achievements. Additionally, the company
believes that these non-GAAP measures, in combination with its
financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide
investors with additional perspective. While some of the excluded
items may be incurred and reflected in the company’s GAAP financial
results in the foreseeable future, the company believes that the
items excluded from certain non-GAAP measures do not accurately
reflect the underlying performance of its continuing operations for
the period in which they are incurred. The use of non-GAAP measures
has limitations in that such measures do not reflect all of the
amounts associated with the company’s results of operations as
determined in accordance with GAAP, and these measures should only
be used to evaluate the company’s results of operations in
conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Please refer to
the Form 8‑K regarding this release furnished today to the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
