Non-GAAP results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 exclude the impact of business combination activities associated with the acquisitions of Aegis on October 23, 2012 and Contur Industry Holding AB and Contur Software AB (collectively, “Contur”) and VelQuest Corporation (“VelQuest”), both in 2011, and the merger with Symyx Technologies, Inc. (“Symyx”) in 2010, and other nonrecurring items.
Non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP net income for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 include fair value adjustments to deferred revenue ($3.3 million and $11.8 million, respectively). Non-GAAP operating income for such three and twelve-month periods also excludes stock-based compensation expense ($2.5 million and $8.1 million, respectively), business consolidation, transaction and restructuring costs ($6.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively) and purchased intangible asset amortization ($5.2 million and $17.8 million, respectively), offset by an adjustment to include acquisition-related cost of revenue related to VelQuest non-GAAP revenue recognized during such periods ($0.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively). Non-GAAP net income for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 also excludes additional purchased intangible asset amortization ($0.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively) offset by removing the impact of the amortization of note receivable discount related to our promissory note receivable from Intermolecular, Inc. (“Intermolecular”) ($0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively). In addition to the aforementioned items, non-GAAP net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes fair value adjustments to deferred royalty income of $0.6 million and excludes $2.1 million in other non-operating income resulting from our real estate related activities.
Calendar Year 2013 Outlook
For the year ending December 31, 2013, the Company expects non-GAAP revenue to be between $185 and $190 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to be between $0.36 and $0.39 per diluted share on fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 56.6 million and using an effective tax rate of 40%.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release describes financial measures for revenue, operating income, net income, net income per diluted share and free cash flow that exclude deferred revenue fair value adjustments, acquisition-related cost of revenue, business consolidation, transaction and restructuring costs, stock-based compensation expense, purchased intangible asset amortization, royalty income fair value adjustments, amortization of note receivable discount, gain on sale of real estate, gain on sale of equity investments, sale of intangible assets, other non-operating expense and income tax adjustments. These financial measures are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide a useful measure of the Company's operating results, a meaningful comparison with historical results and with the results of other companies, and insight into the Company's ongoing operating performance. Further, management and the Board of Directors utilize these measures, in addition to GAAP measures, when evaluating and comparing the Company's operating performance against internal financial forecasts and budgets. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
For additional information on the items excluded by the Company from its non-GAAP financial measures please refer to the Form 8-K regarding this release that was furnished today to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
