(1) Supplemental non-GAAP financial measures are not based on
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but are provided to
explain the impact of certain significant items. The Company believes
that the disclosure of non-GAAP gross margin, net income, and earnings
per share is useful to investors and creditors of the Company as it is
a way to explain the impact of certain accounting charges included in
the Company's operating results due to acquisitions, restructuring
activities, valuation of deferred taxes, and other charges in a way
that allows for comparison to prior periods and expectations about the
ongoing financial condition and results of operations exclusive of
historical or contemplated acquisitions or other transactions. In
addition, management uses each of these measures in evaluating the
ongoing operational performance of its business. Management bonus
calculations are based on each of these same measures, in order to
isolate the controllable performance of the operations from the impact
of negotiated acquisition costs, restructuring measures, or tax
consequences.
