NON-GAAP DISCLOSURE ("ADJUSTED")
To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Longtop's management reports and uses non-GAAP ("Adjusted") measures of revenues, cost of revenues, operating expenses, net income and net income per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP. To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measures to exclude certain business combination accounting entries and expenses related to acquisitions, as well as other significant expenses including stock-based compensation that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the user's overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation from or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with US GAAP. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures contained in this release and which we discuss below. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results on a stand-alone basis or as a substitute for results under GAAP, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies.
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted Cost of Revenue is defined as cost of revenue excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense and (2) amortization of acquired intangibles.
Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Revenue less Adjusted Cost of Revenue.
Adjusted Operating Expenses is defined as operating expenses excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization of acquired intangibles, deferred compensation arising on acquisition and goodwill impairment, and (3) one-time items.
Adjusted Operating Income is defined as Adjusted Gross Margin less Adjusted Operating Expenses.
Adjusted Net Income is defined as Adjusted Operating Income plus/minus other income/(expenses), less income taxes, excluding: (1) one-time items and (2) discontinued operations.
Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares.
One-Time Items, if applicable, are excluded from Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Net Income. These items are one-time in nature and non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, and have not occurred in the past two years or are not expected to recur in the next two years. GAAP results include one-time items.
Expenses That Are Excluded From Our Non-GAAP Measures
Non-cash compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding, which, for restricted stock units and stock options, are included on a treasury method basis. Longtop's management believes excluding the share-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measure is useful for itself and investors. Further, the amount of share-based compensation expense cannot be anticipated by management and business line leaders and these expenses were not built into the annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which have been the basis for information Longtop provides to analysts and investors as guidance for future operating performance. Although share-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, and we believe such compensation contributed to the revenues earned during the periods presented and also believe it will contribute to the generation of future period revenues, and as share-based compensation expense does not involve any upfront or subsequent cash outflow, Longtop does not factor this in when evaluating and approving expenditures or when determining the allocation of its resources to its business segments. As a result, the monthly financial results for internal reporting and any performance measure for commission and bonus are based on non-GAAP financial measures that exclude share-based compensation expense.
Amortization of acquired intangibles is a non-cash expense relating to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the intangible assets of the acquired company, such as backlog, customer relationships, and intellectual property, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. While it is likely that we will have significant intangible amortization expense as we continue to acquire companies, we have excluded the effect of amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP financial measures. Amortization of intangible assets is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well.
Acquisition proceeds allocated to deferred compensation arises where a portion of the purchase price paid to shareholders is considered compensation expense rather than purchase price under US GAAP. Deferred compensation arising on acquisition is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of deferred compensation arising on acquisition contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well.
