Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
We utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance. We consider these measures important indicators of our success. In addition, Citrix provides these non-GAAP measures of the company’s performance to investors to enable them to better compare Citrix’s most recent results of operations against financial models prepared by the company’s investors and securities analysts. These measures should not be considered an alternative to measurements required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) such as net income and earnings per share and should not be considered measures of our liquidity. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.
