(1) To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we
use non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per share, which
exclude certain expenses that we believe are helpful in
understanding our past financial performance and prospects for
the future. Management uses the non-GAAP financial results as one
factor in its planning and forecasting of future periods. The
non-GAAP financial results are presented here with the intent of
providing additional information about our operating results and
trends. We believe the non-GAAP measures are useful in that they
enable investors to compare our results to our performance in
prior periods. The presentation of non-GAAP financial results is
not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
net income or earnings per share prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Investors should be aware that non-GAAP measures have
inherent limitations and should be read only on conjunction with
our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with
GAAP.
(2) Non-GAAP adjustment represents stock-based compensation
associated with stock options and restricted shares issued to
executive officers and employees.
(3) Non-GAAP adjustment represents the amortization of intangible
assets in connection with our acquisitions.
(4) Non-GAAP adjustment primarily reflects severance and related
benefits.
(5) Non-GAAP adjustment represents the provision from the settlement
of our patent infringement litigation.
