Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To provide investors and others with additional information regarding Spansion's operating results, we have disclosed in this press release certain non-GAAP financial measures, including earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures are a supplement to, and not a substitute for or superior to, the company's results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of the company's operating performance. Specifically, the company believes the non-GAAP information provides useful measures to investors regarding the company's financial performance by excluding certain expenses that the company believes are not indicative of its core operating results such as the amortization of intangibles, stock compensation expense, and acquisition related expenses.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Spansion's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in Spansion's business, as they exclude expenses that are not reflective of ongoing operating results and provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Spansion's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. Adjustments due to amortization, acquisition related expense and stock compensation expense attempt to exclude items that are either non-cash or non-recurring in nature.
