Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, Depomed includes information about non-GAAP adjusted earnings (loss), non-GAAP adjusted earnings (loss) per share and adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP financial measures, as useful operating metrics for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 and its full year 2015 financial outlook. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides supplementary information to investors. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its own planning and forecasting purposes and for measuring the Company's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings (loss) and non-GAAP adjusted earnings (loss) per share are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and represent GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP earnings (loss) per share adjusted to exclude (1) non-cash PDL royalty revenue, net of related costs, (2) non-cash interest expense on the liability related to the sale of future royalties and milestones to PDL, (3) amortization related to product acquisitions, (4) stock-based compensation expense, (5) non-cash interest expense related to convertible debt, and to adjust (6) the income tax provision to reflect the estimated amounts payable in cash. Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (1) non-cash PDL royalty revenue, net of related costs, (2) interest income (3) interest expense, (4) amortization related to product acquisitions, (5) stock-based compensation expense, (5) depreciation, (6) taxes and (7) transaction costs associated with product acquisitions. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
