In the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2008, Cadence's non-GAAP net loss also excludes the impact of tax expense associated with recording a valuation allowance against Cadence's deferred tax assets. Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude the tax expense associated with this valuation allowance as Cadence does not expect changes in the valuation allowance of the magnitude recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 to be recorded frequently.
In fiscal year 2008, Cadence's non-GAAP net loss also excludes the impact of tax expense associated with Cadence's repatriation of foreign earnings. Cadence's management believes it is useful to exclude the tax expense associated with the repatriation of foreign earnings as it resulted from an event which is not expected to occur frequently.
In fiscal year 2008, Cadence's non-GAAP net loss also excludes costs related to Cadence's withdrawn proposal to acquire Mentor Graphics Corporation and losses on the sale of Mentor Graphics Corporation shares Cadence acquired as part of the proposed acquisition. Cadence's management believes that in measuring Cadence's operations it is useful to exclude the costs and the losses associated with this proposed acquisition as these items are not directly related to Cadence's operating performance and resulted from events which are not expected to occur frequently.
In the fourth quarter of 2007, Cadence's non-GAAP measure also excluded the income tax benefit of settling a dispute with the Internal Revenue Service related to Cadence's tax years 1997-1999. This benefit had no impact on Cadence's non-GAAP measure of net income for 2007. Management believes it is useful to exclude the income tax benefit associated with this settlement from Cadence's non-GAAP measure of net income as this tax benefit resulted from an event which is not expected to occur frequently.
Cadence's management believes that non-GAAP net income or net loss provides useful supplemental information to Cadence's management and investors regarding the performance of the company's business operations and facilitates comparisons to the company's historical operating results. Cadence's management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this press release with their most directly comparable GAAP financial results.
The following tables reconcile the specific items excluded from GAAP net income or net loss and GAAP net income or net loss per diluted share in the calculation of non-GAAP net income or net loss and Non-GAAP net income or net loss per diluted share for the periods shown below:
