Microsemi computes non-GAAP results principally by adjusting GAAP results with a reversal of the impact of acquisition-related charges, restructuring charges, and non-recurring charges and credits. We believe that non-GAAP results may give a better indication of Microsemi's baseline performance from its ongoing operations before restructuring related and other gains, losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the company's core ongoing operating results. In addition, Microsemi's management uses non-GAAP results to measure performance and as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be materially different from "non-GAAP" measures or any other metrics used by other companies.
