Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”),
the Company uses certain non-GAAP historical financial measures.
Management makes adjustments to the GAAP measures for items (both
charges and gains) that (a) do not reflect the core operational
activities of the Company, (b) are commonly adjusted within the
Company’s industry to enhance comparability of the Company's
financial results with those of its peer group, or (c) are
inconsistent in amount or frequency between periods (albeit such
items are monitored and controlled with equal diligence relative to
core operations) (“Non-GAAP Purposes”). The Company uses the term
“Non-GAAP” to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses to achieve
the Non-GAAP Purposes, including external acquisition-related costs
incurred to effect a business combination; amortization of
intangible assets acquired in a business combination, asset
purchase transaction or other contractual relationship; impairment
of goodwill and intangible assets; certain in-process R&D
charges; fair value adjustments to contingent consideration
liabilities and pre-acquisition contingencies arising from a
business combination; integration and transition costs related to
business combinations; fair market value adjustments to inventories
acquired in a business combination or asset purchase transaction;
restructuring charges, duplicative operating expenses, or asset
write-offs (or reversals) associated with exiting or significantly
downsizing a business; gain or loss from the sale of a business;
gain or loss on the mark-to-market adjustment, impairment, or sale
of long-term investments; mark-to-market adjustments on derivative
instruments that hedge income or expense exposures in a future
period; significant legal litigation costs and/or settlement
expenses or proceeds; legal and other associated expenses that are
both unusual and significant related to governmental or internal
inquiries; expenses, acceleration of amortization of debt issuance
costs and gain or loss on debt extinguishment associated with the
exchange or redemption of convertible senior notes; and significant
discrete income and other tax adjustments related to transactions
as well as changes in estimated acquisition-date tax effects
associated with business combinations, and the impact from
implementation of tax law changes and settlements. See “GAAP to
Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP
measure presented to the comparable GAAP financial measure.
In addition, in order to remove the impact of fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates, the Company also presents certain
net sales information on a constant currency basis, which
represents the outcome that would have resulted had exchange rates
in the current period been the same as the average exchange rates
in effect in the comparable prior period. See “Reported Sales vs.
Prior Periods” for a presentation of certain net sales information
on a reported, GAAP and a constant currency basis.
