Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
To supplement our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented in accordance with
GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial information, which is adjusted from results based on
GAAP to exclude certain costs and expenses, as well as other supplemental information. The non-
GAAP and supplemental information is provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our
operating performance and our prospects in the future. Specifically, we believe that the non-GAAP
information, including non-GAAP net income attributable to KLA, non-GAAP net income per diluted
share attributable to KLA, non-GAAP R&D expenses, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating
margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, Free Cash Flow, FCF Conversion and FCF Margin, provides
useful measures to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to
our financial performance by excluding certain costs and expenses that we believe are not indicative of
our core operating results to help investors compare our operating performances with our results in
prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies. The non-GAAP information is among
the budgeting and planning tools that management uses for future forecasting. However, because there
are no standardized or generally accepted definitions for most non-GAAP financial metrics, definitions
of non-GAAP financial metrics are inherently subject to significant discretion (for example, determining
which costs and expenses to exclude when calculating such a metric). As a result, non-GAAP financial
metrics may be defined very differently from company to company, or even from period to period within
the same company, which can potentially limit the usefulness of such information to an investor. The
presentation of non-GAAP and supplemental information is not meant to be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for results prepared and presented in accordance with United States GAAP. The
following are descriptions of the adjustments made to reconcile GAAP net income attributable to KLA to
non-GAAP net income attributable to KLA:
a) Acquisition-related charges primarily include amortization of intangible assets and other acquisition-
related adjustments including adjustments for the fair valuation of inventory and backlog, and
transaction costs associated with our acquisitions.
b) Restructuring, severance and other charges primarily include costs associated with employee
severance, acceleration of certain stock-based compensation arrangements, charges related to
liquidation of legal entities and other exit costs.
c) Debt extinguishment loss in the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 includes a pre-tax loss on
early extinguishment of the $500 million 4.125% Senior Notes due in November 2021. Debt
extinguishment loss and recapitalization charges in the twelve months ended December 31, 2014
includes a pre-tax loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the 6.900% Senior Notes due in 2018,
net and certain other expenses incurred in connection with the leveraged recapitalization plan which
was completed in the quarter ended December 31, 2014.
d) Goodwill impairment includes non-cash expense recognized as a result of the company's annual
testing for goodwill impairment performed in the third quarter of the fiscal year. The impairment charge
resulted from the downward revision of financial outlook for the acquired Orbotech business as well as
the impact of elevated risk and macroeconomic slowdown driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.
e) Merger-related charges associated with the terminated merger agreement between KLA-Tencor and
Lam Research Corporation ("Lam") primarily include employee retention-related expenses, legal
expenses and other costs.
f) Restatement related charges include legal and other expenses related to the investigation regarding the
company's historical stock option granting process and related stockholder litigation and other matters.
KLA has paid or reimbursed legal expenses incurred by a number of its current and former directors,
officers and employees in connection with the investigation of the company's historical stock option
practices and the related litigation and government inquiries.
g) Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments includes the income tax effects of the excluded items
noted above.
h) Discrete tax items consist of consist of certain income tax expenses/benefits that, by excluding, help
investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the
performance of other companies.
