Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance, including net loss, net loss per common share and a pro forma consolidated statement of operations, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP. Although “as adjusted” financial measures are non-GAAP financial measures, the Company believes that the presentation of “as adjusted” financial measures calculated to reflect the Baxano acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of 2013 and to exclude “special items” are useful adjuncts to the GAAP “as reported” financial measures. Pro forma adjustments include amortization of intangibles, interest costs associated with Baxano preferred stock and convertible debt, and elimination of intercompany general and administrative expenses. “Special items” consist of merger and integration expenses related to the merger with Baxano, Inc. and charges related to the settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, including related legal fees. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and the Company’s prospects for the future. We believe that providing non-GAAP measures that adjust for the combined historical results of Baxano Surgical and Baxano and for significant non-recurring expenses allows comparison of our core operations from period to period. These non-GAAP measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
