Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On November 12, 2015 Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended September 30, 2015. The earnings release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report.
Non-GAAP measures: The Company uses non-GAAP presentations to illustrate the development of the order entry and sales figures, taking into account exchange rate fluctuations. The non-GAAP presentation shows the fourth quarter 2015 figures when applying the average exchange rates of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.
Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that non-GAAP information is useful because it can enhance the understanding of its ongoing economic performance. The Company has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform comparisons of order entry and sales results.
Item 8.01 Other Events
The Board of Directors authorized the Company to initiate a share buyback of up to $50 million of the Company's Common Stock, to be executed over the next eighteen months. The Company expects the purchases to be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at the Company's discretion.
