Financial Information
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we believe non-GAAP measures used in this
presentation, such as non-GAAP Gross Margins, Non-GAAP Operating Expenses and Free Cash Flow, are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We
use such non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP
financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance.
However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their
performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. In addition, the utility of free cash flow as a
measure of our financial performance and liquidity is limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period.
Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Please see the appendix included at the end of this presentation for a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP
measures to historical GAAP measures.
