Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
The Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the accompanying tables to this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
 
The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. SolarEdge believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
 
For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures, please see “Reconciliation on Non-GAAP Measures” below.

GAAP net basic and diluted earnings per share are materially different between fiscal first quarter 2016 and fiscal first quarter 2015 since under GAAP, preferred shares do not participate in the earnings per share calculation and for the fiscal first quarter 2015, prior to the Company’s initial public offering, preferred shares were entitled to a dividend distribution which, if distributed, would have exceeded the net income for the relevant period.
