Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we present in this earnings press release certain financial measures that facilitate management's review of the operational performance of MiniMed and serve as a basis for strategic planning; however, such financial measures are not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These financial measures are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" and are intended to supplement, and should not be considered as superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This includes Organic Revenue Growth. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance and trends and may facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the medical technologies industry.
In particular, we believe that the use of Organic Revenue Growth is helpful to our investors as it is a metric used by management to assess the health of our business and our operating performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.
In the tables included at the end of this earnings press release, a reconciliation is provided for each historical non-GAAP financial measure included in this release to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
MiniMed calculates forward-looking Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures, based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. MiniMed does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measure because certain items cannot be reasonably predicted without reasonable effort. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.
Forward-Looking Statements

In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words or expressions, such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "looking ahead," "may," "plan," "possible," "potential," "project," "should," "going to," "will," and similar words or expressions, the negative or plural of such words or expressions and other comparable terminology.

Organic Revenue Growth measures revenue growth trends excluding the impacts of foreign currency rate fluctuations and adjustments to MiniMed's Italian payback accrual for certain prior years since 2015. We use Organic Revenue Growth to assess our performance on a consistent basis by removing the impacts of foreign currency rate fluctuations and adjustments to the Italian payback accrual that we believe do not directly reflect our underlying operations. The data in the schedules above have been intentionally rounded to the nearest million and, therefore, may not sum. Percentages have been calculated using actual, non-rounded figures and, therefore, may not recalculate precisely. |
