Non-GAAP Financial Information
This
release includes non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance
with, nor an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles
and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In
addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set
of accounting rules or principles.
Schedule E of this press release provides the reconciliation of the Company’s historical non-GAAP revenue and earnings measures to its GAAP measures.
Management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance from continuing operations against past periods and to budget and allocate resources in future periods. These non-GAAP measures also assist management in evaluating the Company’s core business and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis. Management also believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP items is useful to investors because it provides investors with the operating results that management uses to manage the Company and enables investors and analysts to evaluate the Company’s core business.
The following item is excluded from our non-GAAP revenue:
Hittite Operations: The results of operation of Hittite from July 22, 2014 through August 2, 2014 have been excluded from our non-GAAP measures because they are not reflective of ongoing operating results.
The following items are excluded from our non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share:
Hittite Operations: The results of operation of Hittite from July 22, 2014 through August 2, 2014 have been excluded from our non-GAAP measures because they are not reflective of ongoing operating results.
Acquisition-Related Expenses: Expenses incurred in fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 as a result of the Hittite acquisition primarily include: severance payments, expense associated with the fair value adjustments to inventory and property, plant and equipment; and amortization of acquisition related intangibles, which include acquired intangibles such as purchased technology and customer relationships. We excluded these costs from our non-GAAP measures because they relate to a specific transaction and are not reflective of our ongoing financial performance.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense: In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded $3.0 million of stock-based compensation expense for one of its former executive officers due to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock units and a reduction in the requisite service period for stock options in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreements. In addition, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded $1.3 million of stock-based compensation expense due to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock units and stock options in conjunction with the restructuring charge recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company canceled certain stock awards in conjunction with the restructuring charge which resulted in the recognition of income from stock-based compensation expense recorded in prior periods for these awards. These stock-based compensation expenses and income and the related tax effect have no direct correlation to the operation of our business in the future.
The following items are excluded from our non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share:
Other Operating Expense: Costs incurred as a result of the conversion of the benefits provided to participants in the Company’s Irish defined benefit pension plan to benefits provided under the Company’s Irish defined contribution plan including settlement charges, legal, accounting and other professional fees. We excluded these costs from our non-GAAP measures because they relate to a specific transaction and are not reflective of our ongoing financial performance.
Acquisition-Related Transaction Costs: Costs incurred as a result of the Hittite acquisition in fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 including legal, accounting and other professional fees directly related to the Hittite acquisition. We excluded these costs from our non-GAAP measures because they relate to a specific transaction and are not reflective of our ongoing financial performance.
Restructuring-Related Expenses: These expenses are incurred in
connection with facility closures, consolidation of manufacturing
facilities, severance, and other cost reduction efforts. Apart from
ongoing expense savings as a result of such items, these expenses and
the related tax effects have no direct correlation to the operation of
our business in the future.
