Non-GAAP Measures

The Company's results are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain information presented reflects adjustments to GAAP measures that are referred in this presentation as “non-GAAP measures.” Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide a more comparable analysis of the underlying operating performance of the business.

These non-GAAP measures include the following: Non-GAAP loss from operations and non-GAAP gross margin. Each of these metrics reflects certain adjustments. Non-GAAP loss from operations excludes depreciation, amortization, merger and acquisition-related expenses, inventory write-offs and stock-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, inventory write-offs and stock-based compensation expenses.

These non-GAAP measures provide the Company with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of its business. The Company uses these metrics because management believes they provide more comparable measures to evaluate period-over-period operating performance since they exclude special items that are not indicative of the Company's core business or operations. These measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of the Company's business.

Because all companies do not use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the tables herein.
