Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made in this press release and the earnings call
referencing the press release that are not statements of historical
fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
subject to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are
commonly identified by words such as "would," "may," "expects,"
"believes," "plans," "intends," "projects" and other terms with
similar meaning. Investors are cautioned that the forward-looking
statements in this document are based on current beliefs,
assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of this
document and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Such
statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and
uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally
beyond Intermolecular's control, that could cause actual results
and other future events to differ materially from those expressed
in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and
statements. Material factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from current expectations include, without
limitation, the following: our ability to productize our workflows
with existing and future customers; expectations regarding our
future revenue, cash flow and GAAP and non-GAAP net income or loss;
financial condition; the ability of our new business model to
generate profits and long-term shareholder returns; the extent to
which technology developed in collaboration with our customers will
continue to remain on the critical path and have significant value
for such customers and us as well as the industry as a whole; and
anticipated growth in our current markets through expansion of
existing customer programs and the entry into other engagements
with new customers. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from expectations, including but not limited to: our
ability to execute on our strategy, prove our business model and
remain technologically competitive in rapidly evolving industry
conditions; commercial acceptance of our HPC platform and
methodology as effective R&D tools; our ability to achieve and
sustain profitability; the ability of our customers to achieve
their announced product roadmaps in a timely manner; the extent to
which we are able to successfully extend and expand relationships
with existing customers; our ability to manage the growth of our
business; the rapid technology changes and volatility of the
customers and industries we serve; our potential need for future
capital to finance our operations; and other risks described in our
most recent annual report on Form 10-K as updated by our quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission available at www.sec.gov, particularly in the
sections titled "Risk Factors." All forward-looking statements are
based on management's current estimates, projections and
assumptions, and we assume no obligation to update them.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial data presented on a GAAP basis, we
also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude
the effect of stock-based compensation expense. These non-GAAP
financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not
serve as an alternative to GAAP and may be calculated differently
than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies.
These results should only be used to evaluate our results of
operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. We
believe that our non-GAAP financial information provides useful
information to management and investors regarding financial and
business trends relating to our financial condition and results of
operations because the non-GAAP measures exclude charges that
management considers to be outside of Intermolecular's core
operating results. We believe that the non-GAAP measures of
revenue, cost of net revenue, gross profit, gross margin, operating
(loss) income, net (loss) income, earnings per share and net (loss)
income per share, viewed in combination with our financial results
calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with
additional perspective and a more meaningful understanding of our
ongoing operating performance. In addition, management uses these
non-GAAP measures to review and assess financial performance, to
determine executive officer incentive compensation and to plan and
forecast performance in future periods.
