Financial outlook and guidance

The non-GAAP financial guidance discussed below excludes the following items (see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Guidance” for a reconciliation of these GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures):

  • Charges associated with relocating the company’s corporate headquarters including an estimated non-cash charge related to a cease-use loss to account for the remaining lease payments on the company's current headquarters reduced by estimated sublease proceeds, accelerated depreciation on existing leasehold improvements abandoned upon the relocation to the new facility, and anticipated double rent expense incurred during the transition to the new facility.
  • Incremental non-cash interest expense associated with the company's convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash and the double dilution associated with the accounting treatment of the company's outstanding convertible debt and the corresponding call option overlay.
  • Amortization expense related to intangible assets.

The company expects:

Statement regarding use of non-GAAP financial measures

The company reports non-GAAP results for diluted net income per share, net income, gross margins, operating margins, other income, and free cash flow in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The company’s financial measures under GAAP include substantial non-cash and other charges related to stock compensation expense, the impairment of a cost-method investment, a gain recorded for the change in fair value of contingent consideration, expenses related to our new lease, including a cease use loss, accelerated depreciation, and anticipated double rent expense, incremental interest expense associated with the company’s convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash, a gain on the acquisition of an investee accounted for using the cost method of accounting prior to acquisition, amortization expense related to intangible assets, in-process research and development and contingent compensation expense, acquisition related transaction expenses, expense related to acquired research and development, and a gain on the extinguishment of debt. Per share amounts also include the double dilution associated with the accounting treatment of the company’s convertible debt outstanding and the corresponding call option overlay. Management believes that presentation of operating results that excludes these charges and per share double dilution provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the company’s core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Management also believes that this supplemental non-GAAP information is therefore useful to investors in analyzing and assessing the company’s past and future operating performance.

The company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP results are presented in the tables of this release.
