The combination of our technology leadership, disciplined operational execution and close partnerships with customers positions us for our fifth straight calendar year of revenue growth of approximately 18% annually over that period, record performance in 2016 and a favorable forward looking multi-year growth outlook."

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results
Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash and investments balances increased to $7.5 billion at the end of the September 2016 quarter compared to $7.1 billion at the end of the June 2016 quarter. This increase was primarily the result of approximately $473 million in cash flows from operating activities which was partially offset by approximately $42 million of capital expenditures; and approximately $48 million of dividends paid to stockholders during the September 2016 quarter. As a result of the October 5, 2016 termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with KLA-Tencor, our Senior Notes maturing in 2023 and 2026 were redeemed on October 13, 2016 under the Special Mandatory Redemption terms of the indenture governing these Notes, thereby reducing our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments balance by approximately $1.6 billion.
Deferred revenue at the end of the September 2016 quarter increased to $704 million as compared to $566 million at the end of the June 2016 quarter. Deferred profit at the end of the September 2016 quarter increased to $418 million as compared to $349 million at the end of the June 2016 quarter. Lam’s deferred revenue balance does not include shipments to Japanese customers, to whom title does not transfer until customer acceptance. Shipments to Japanese customers are classified as inventory at cost until the time of acceptance. The estimated future revenue from shipments to Japanese customers was approximately $65 million as of September 25, 2016.

The geographic distribution of shipments and revenue during the September 2016 quarter is shown in the following table:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results
In addition to U.S. GAAP results, this press release also contains non-GAAP financial results. The Company’s non-GAAP results for both the September 2016 and June 2016 quarters exclude amortization related to intangible assets acquired in the Novellus transaction, costs associated with campus consolidation, the amortization of note discounts, costs associated with the KLA-Tencor acquisition and tax benefit of non-GAAP items. Additionally, the June 2016 quarter non-GAAP results exclude Novellus acquisition-related inventory fair value impact, restructuring charges, gain on sale of real property, net of associated exit costs, amortization of bridge loan issuance costs and other related fees associated with the KLA-Tencor acquisition, change in income tax benefit from a court ruling, and income tax benefit on resolution of certain tax matters.
Management uses non-GAAP gross margin, operating income, operating expenses, operating margin, net income, and net income per diluted share to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial results. The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing investors’ ability to view the Company’s results from management’s perspective. Tables presenting reconciliations of non-GAAP results to U.S. GAAP results are included at the end of this press release and on the Company’s website at http://investor.lamresearch.com .
