Reconciling items include:

  • Amortization related to intangible assets acquired in the Novellus transaction, $12 million in gross margin.
  • Amortization related to intangible assets acquired in the Novellus transaction, $38 million in operating margin.
  • Amortization related to intangible assets acquired in the Novellus transaction, $38 million; the amortization of convertible note discounts, $8 million; and the associated tax benefit for non-GAAP items ($7) million, in earnings per share.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results

In addition to U.S. GAAP results, this press release also contains non-GAAP financial results. The Company's non-GAAP results for both the March 2014 and December 2013 quarters exclude rationalization of certain product configurations, amortization related to intangible assets acquired in the Novellus transaction, the impairment of long-lived assets, and the amortization of convertible note discounts. Additionally, the March 2014 quarter non-GAAP results exclude expenses associated with the synthetic lease impairment and the December 2013 quarter non-GAAP results exclude costs associated with the fair-value impact of acquisition-related inventory, certain integration-related costs, the gain on sale of an investment, and the tax benefit on successful resolution of certain tax matters.

Management uses non-GAAP gross margin, operating income, operating expenses, operating margin, net income, and net income per diluted share to evaluate the Company's operating and financial results. The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing the investors' ability to view the Company's results from management's perspective. Tables presenting reconciliations of non-GAAP results to U.S. GAAP results are included at the end of this press release and on the Company's web site at http://investor.lamresearch.com.
