Schedule F of this press release provides the reconciliation of the Company’s historical adjusted cash flow measures to its cash flow measures.
Management uses adjusted free cash flow to measure the liquidity of its continuing operations and evaluate the Company’s operating cash performance against past periods. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is defined by the Company as free cash flow adjusted for payments (refunds) that are not reflective of our ongoing operating cash performance. Management believes that the presentation of this adjusted financial measure is useful to investors because it provides investors with the operating cash flow results that management uses to manage the Company and enables investors and analysts to evaluate the Company’s liquidity from continuing operations.
The following item is excluded from our fourth quarter fiscal 2015 adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow margin:
Pension Conversion Payments: Costs incurred as a result of the conversion of the benefits provided to participants in the Company’s Irish defined benefit pension plan to benefits provided under the Company’s Irish defined contribution plan including settlement charges, legal, accounting, tax and other professional fees. We excluded these costs from our adjusted financial measures because they relate to a specific transaction and are not reflective of our ongoing financial performance.
Analog Devices believes that these non-GAAP measures have material limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. In addition, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to the non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company’s use of non-GAAP measures, and the underlying methodology when excluding certain items, is not necessarily an indication of the results of operations that may be expected in the future, or that the Company will not, in fact, record such items in future periods.
Investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
