Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, SYNNEX uses non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the amortization of intangible assets and acquisition and integration related expenses. These non-GAAP measures provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate operating results. Because these non-GAAP measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
SYNNEX management uses the non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the business. SYNNEX management believes it is useful for the company and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information, and the non-GAAP measures in order to assess the performance of SYNNEX’ continuing businesses and for planning and forecasting in future periods. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide investors with an understanding of SYNNEX’ operational results and trends that more readily enable investors to analyze SYNNEX' base financial and operating performance and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of operational trends. The management of SYNNEX believes the non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. A reconciliation of SYNNEX’ non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the supplemental information table at the end of this press release.
Safe Harbor Statement
Statements in this press release regarding SYNNEX Corporation, which are not historical facts, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as believe, foresee, expect, may, will, provide, could and should and the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These statements, including statements regarding SYNNEX’ expectations for the fiscal 2015 first quarter as to revenue, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and after-tax amortization of intangibles, and statements regarding, acquisition and integration success and completion timing, benefits of efforts in high value industry verticals and other investments and timing of realization of such benefits, advancement of strategic initiatives and the benefits of such initiatives, growth ahead of the market, our ongoing commitment to return cash to shareholders, debt repayment and share repurchases, the frequency and occurrence of dividend declarations, and the anticipated benefits of the non-GAAP financial measures, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully integrate our recent acquisitions; diversion of management as a result of our recent and pending acquisitions; loss of vendors and suppliers as a result of our recent acquisitions; general economic conditions and any weakness in IT and consumer electronics spending; the loss or consolidation of one or more of our significant OEM suppliers or customers; market acceptance and product life of the products we assemble and distribute; competitive conditions in our industry and their impact on our margins; pricing, margin and other terms with our OEM suppliers; our ability to gain market share; variations in supplier-sponsored programs; changes in our costs and operating expenses; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; changes in the tax laws; risks associated with our international operations; uncertainties and variability in demand by our reseller and contract assembly customers; supply shortages or delays; any termination or reduction in our floor plan financing arrangements; credit exposure to our reseller customers and negative trends in their businesses; any future incidents of theft; risks associated with our global business services and contract assembly business; risks associated with our anti-dilution share repurchase program; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2014 and from time to time in our SEC filings.

(1) For fiscal year ended November 30, 2013, net income for the purpose of computation of diluted EPS was adjusted for the change in the estimated value of the conversion premium of the convertible notes from April 2013 through the final settlement date. The convertible notes were settled in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013.
(2) The tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments was calculated using the applicable effective tax rate during the periods, except for IBM CRM acquisition and other integration expenses for the three and twelve months ended November 31, 2013, which was calculated using the tax deductible portion of the expenses and applying the entity-specific, U.S. Federal and blended state tax rates.
