Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

To provide investors and others with additional information regarding Spansion’s operating results, we have disclosed in this press release certain non-GAAP financial measures, including gross profit, operating income, net income, and adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures are a supplement to, and not a substitute for or superior to, the company’s results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of the company’s operating performance. Specifically, the company believes the non-GAAP information provides useful measures to investors regarding the company’s financial performance by excluding certain expenses that the company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. For more information on non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliations of such measures in the tables of this release.

 

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Spansion’s ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in Spansion’s business, as they exclude expenses that are not reflective of ongoing operating results and provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Spansion’s operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. During the quarter ended December 29, 2013, the presentation of non-GAAP financial information included the addition of litigation reserve, interest expense, intangible amortization and stock compensation expense to the net income. Further adjustments due to acquisition related expense, gain on recovery from impaired investment, loss on acquisition, inventory mark-up amortization, financing costs, restructuring charges and others attempt to exclude items that are either non-cash or non-recurring in nature.
