Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On July 22, 2010, the Registrant reported the financial results for its fiscal first quarter
ended June 27, 2010. A copy of the press release issued by the Registrant concerning the foregoing
results is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained herein and in the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 shall not be
incorporated by reference into any filings of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth
by specific reference in such filing. The information in this report, including Exhibit 99.1
hereto, shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
basis in the press release included in Exhibit 99.1, the Registrant has also included certain
non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP net income and
non-GAAP net income per diluted share.
The Registrant believes that these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, when presented in
conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide useful information to investors
and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its results of operations.
However, non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of
the costs associated with the operations of the Registrants business as determined in accordance
with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and
not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in
accordance with GAAP.
The Registrant has presented non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share, on
a basis consistent with its historical presentation, to assist investors in understanding the
Registrants core net income and core net income per diluted share on an on-going basis. These
non-GAAP financial measures may also assist investors in making comparisons of the Registrants
core net profitability with historical periods. Although the non-GAAP financial measures presented
by the Registrant may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies,
the Registrant believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may also assist investors in making
comparisons of the Registrants core net profitability with the corresponding results for its
competitors. Management also believes that non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted
share are important measures in the evaluation of the Registrants profitability.
Management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share in its
evaluation of the Registrants core after-tax results of operations and trends between fiscal
periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance
measurement process. In addition, the Registrant prepares and maintains its budgets and forecasts
for future periods on a basis consistent with these non-GAAP financial measures. Management
believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors to view the Registrants
financial results in the way that management views the financial results.
The Registrant excludes the following items from its non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation consists of expenses associated with stock
options and restricted stock units granted by the Registrant, purchases of common stock under the
Registrants Employee Stock Purchase Plan and a stock-based performance plan entered into by the
Registrant in connection with an acquisition. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that
varies in amount from period to period as a result of factors that are difficult to predict and are
generally outside the control of the Registrant, such as the market price and associated volatility
of the Registrants common stock. Accordingly, management believes these expenses are not
reflective of the Registrants core operating expenses and excludes them when assessing its core
operating results and from its internal budgets and forecasts.
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. In connection with acquisitions, the
Registrant records purchased intangible assets (consisting primarily of purchased technology and
customer relationships) which are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The amortization is
a non-cash expense which is not considered by management when assessing the core operating results
of the Registrant. The acquisition-related intangible assets and the related amortization can vary
significantly based on the size and frequency of acquisitions.
Special charges. Special charges consist of costs related to severance benefits for
involuntarily-terminated employees. Management believes these charges are unrelated to the
Registrants core business and does not consider these special charges when assessing the core
operating results of the Registrant.
Gains recognized on previously impaired investment securities. The Registrant recognized gains
on investment securities that were previously impaired. The Registrant had previously recognized
impairment charges on certain of its investment securities due to declines in the fair value of
these investments below their cost basis that management had deemed to be other-than-temporary.
Management believes that these gains are unrelated to the Registrants core business and does not
consider the gains recognized on previously impaired investment securities when assessing the core
operating results of the Registrant.
Income tax effect. Income tax expense is adjusted by the amount of tax benefit or expense
(including any valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets) that would result from the use
of the non-GAAP results instead of the GAAP results when calculating the Registrants tax expense.
Management believes changes in valuation allowances related to the Registrants
deferred tax assets associated with non-core assets (i.e., investment securities) are unrelated to
the Registrants core business. Accordingly, management does not consider valuation allowances
related to such deferred tax assets when assessing the core operating results of the Registrant.
Each of the foregoing items has been excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures presented
by the Registrant. Management believes that such exclusion is appropriate since these items are not
reflective of the Registrants core operating activities and thus excludes them from their internal
budgets and forecasts, as well as their assessment of core operating performance.
