To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), we use non-GAAP measures of operating results,
net income and net income per share, which are adjusted from results
based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. These
non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user's
overall understanding of our current financial performance and our
prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP
results provide useful information to both management and investors
as these non-GAAP results exclude certain expenses, gains and losses
that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results and
because they are consistent with the financial models and estimates
published by many analysts who follow us. For example, because the
non-GAAP results exclude the expenses we recorded for share-based
compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets
related to acquisitions of Pliant Technology, Inc. in May 2011,
FlashSoft Corporation in February 2012, Schooner Information
Technology, Inc. in June 2012, SMART Storage Systems in August 2013
and Fusion-io, Inc. in July 2014, impairment of acquisition-related
in-process research and development intangible assets, non-cash
economic interest expense associated with the convertible senior
notes, non-cash change in fair value of the liability component of
the convertible senior notes due to the conversion of a portion of
the 1.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 and related tax
adjustments, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures
provides consistency in our financial reporting. In addition, our
non-GAAP diluted shares are adjusted for the impact of expensing
share-based compensation and include the impact of the call options
which, when exercised, will offset the issuance of dilutive shares
from the convertible senior notes, while our GAAP diluted shares
exclude the anti-dilutive impact of these call options. These
non-GAAP results are some of the primary indicators management uses
for assessing our performance, allocating resources, and planning
and forecasting future periods. Further, management uses non-GAAP
information that excludes certain non-cash charges, such as
share-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related
intangible assets, impairment of acquisition-related in-process
research and development intangible assets, non-cash economic
interest expense associated with the convertible senior notes,
non-cash change in fair value of the liability component of the
convertible senior notes due to the conversion of a portion of the
1.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 and related tax adjustments,
as these non-GAAP charges do not reflect the cash operating results
of the business or the ongoing results. These measures should be
considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP,
but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP
results. These non-GAAP measures may be different than the non-GAAP
measures used by other companies.
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
Share-based compensation expense.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(e)

(1) The 1.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 were convertible
through June 30, 2015 as a result of the Company’s common stock
price exceeding the trigger price set forth in the indenture.
Accordingly, the carrying value of the notes is reported as
short-term debt as of June 28, 2015. Based upon the Company's stock
price not exceeding the trigger price set forth in the indenture at
June 30, 2015, the 1.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 will not
be convertible during the calendar quarter ending September 30,
2015. The Convertible short-term debt conversion obligation
represents the difference between the carrying value of the
convertible debt and the principal amount due in cash upon
conversion.
