Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared under GAAP, Maxim uses non-GAAP measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP results to exclude special expense items related to intangible asset amortization; acquisition related inventory write up to fair value; impairment charges related to buildings and manufacturing equipment; severance and restructuring; stock option related litigation; certain payroll taxes, interest and penalties; contingent consideration adjustments relating to certain acquisitions; in-process research and development written off; gain on the sale of land and buildings; gain on sale and impairment of investments in privately-held companies; reversal of tax reserves related to audit completion and expiration of statute of limitations; the tax provision impacts due to implementation of international restructuring; and gain on sale, net of tax relating to certain businesses divested. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate Maxim's current performance. Many analysts covering Maxim use the non-GAAP measures as well. Given management's use of these non-GAAP measures, Maxim believes these measures are important to investors in understanding Maxim's current and future operating results as seen through the eyes of management.
