To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared under
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), Microsemi uses a
non-GAAP measure of results that does not conform with GAAP.
Microsemi computes non-GAAP results principally by adjusting GAAP
results with a reversal of the impact of acquisition-related charges,
restructuring charges, non-recurring charges and credits, and special
charges and credits, as determined by Microsemi. We believe that
non-GAAP results may give a helpful indication of Microsemi's
baseline performance from its ongoing operations before restructuring
related and other gains, losses or other charges that are considered
by Microsemi's 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 measures and may be materially
different from "non-GAAP" measures or any other metrics used by other
companies.
