Item 2.02. Results of Operation and Financial Condition.
On May 1, 2014, the Registrant issued an earnings release announcing its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014. A copy of the earnings release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
This earnings release includes financial measures that are not in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We refer to these as non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, the release refers to statements of operations amounts, including adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expenses and adjusted effective tax rate.
We define adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) as diluted earnings per share, adjusted for certain upfront and milestone payments to partners; acquisition-related and integration items, net; cost reduction and integration-related initiatives; asset impairment charges; amortization of intangible assets related to marketed products and customer relationships; inventory step-up recorded as part of our acquisitions; non-cash interest expense; litigation-related and other contingent matters; certain other items that the we believe do not reflect our core operating performance; the cash tax savings resulting from our recent acquisitions; and the tax effect of the pre-tax adjustments above at applicable tax rates.
We define adjusted gross margin as total revenues, less cost of revenues, adjusted for amortization of intangible assets related to marketed products; certain upfront and milestone payments to partners; cost reduction and integration-related initiatives; inventory step-up recorded as part of our acquisitions; and certain other items that we believe do not reflect our core operating performance.
We define adjusted operating expense as operating expenses, adjusted for amortization of intangible assets related to marketed products and customer relationships; certain upfront and milestone payments to partners; acquisition-related and integration items, net; cost reduction and integration-related initiatives; asset impairment charges; inventory step-up recorded as part of our acquisitions; litigation-related and other contingent matters; and certain other items that we believe do not reflect our core operating performance.
We define adjusted effective tax rate as the effective tax rate, adjusted for certain upfront and milestone payments to partners; acquisition-related and integration items, net; cost reduction and integration-related initiatives; asset impairment charges; amortization of intangible assets related to marketed products and customer relationships; inventory step-up recorded as part of our acquisitions; non-cash interest expense; litigation-related and other contingent matters; certain other items that the we believe do not reflect our core operating performance; the cash tax savings resulting from our recent acquisitions; and the tax effect of the pre-tax adjustments above at applicable tax rates.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We refer to these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating decisions because we believe they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance. For instance, we believe that these measures facilitate internal comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ results. We believe these measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency related to supplemental information used in our financial and operational decision-making. In addition, we have historically reported similar financial measures to our investors and believe that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting at this time. Further, we believe that these measures may be useful to investors as we are aware that certain of our significant stockholders utilize these measures to evaluate our financial performance. Finally, adjusted diluted earnings per share is used by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors in assessing the performance and compensation of substantially all of our employees, including executive officers.
Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings announcement to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided with the financial statements included in this earnings release.
However, with the exception of projected adjusted diluted earnings per share, we have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of projected non-GAAP measures including adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expenses and adjusted effective tax rate. Not all of the information necessary for quantitative reconciliation is available to us at this time without unreasonable efforts. This is due primarily to variability and difficulty in making accurate detailed forecasts and projections. Accordingly, we do not believe that reconciling information for such projected figures would be meaningful.
The information in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 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 of that section. The information contained in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be incorporated into any registration statement or other document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
