Gross margin determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was 41 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2016, consistent with 41 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $1.9 million, or 2 cents per diluted share. By comparison, GAAP net income was $5.7 million, or 6 cents per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2016. GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 included stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, accreting interest expense on convertible notes, amortization of acquisition intangibles, business acquisition costs, other adjustments, the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, and other discrete tax adjustments. Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $16.7 million, or 18 cents per diluted share, compared with $14.9 million, or 16 cents per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As discussed above, in addition to the company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which are presented according to GAAP, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial information that excludes stock-based compensation expense, certain legal and litigation expenses, business acquisition costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, accreting interest expense on convertible notes and other adjustments. The company uses these non-GAAP measures in its own financial and operational decision-making processes. Further, the company believes that these non-GAAP measures offer an important analytical tool to help investors understand the company’s core operating results and trends and facilitate comparability with the operating results of other companies that provide similar non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures have certain limitations as analytical tools and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information. For example, stock-based compensation is an important component of the company’s compensation mix and will continue to result in significant expenses in the company’s GAAP results for the foreseeable future, but it is not reflected in our non-GAAP measures. Also, other companies, including companies in the company’s industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
