99.1 April 22, 2004 Press Release: Microchip Technology Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2004 Financial Results.
Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
This information is being furnished pursuant to Item 12 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition – as provided in SEC Release No. 34-47226.
On April 22, 2004, we announced the results of our operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The complete release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1.
The attached press release includes information regarding certain of our historical results on a pro forma basis (a non-GAAP financial measure). To supplement our consolidated condensed financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP additional measures of operating results, net earnings and earnings per share adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses in order to enhance the overall understanding of our past financial performance and also the prospects for our future. These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the underlying operational results and trends and our performance. For example, the non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operational results. In addition, these adjusted non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for reviewing our financial results, budget planning and for planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings or diluted earnings per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
