Information About Non-GAAP Measures
Verigy is supplementing its financial measures presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP measures to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods to evaluate the operating performance of the company. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful information of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact the overall comparability. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter ended July 31, 2010 excludes the effects of charges related to the company's restructuring actions and manufacturing transition.Management uses this information to make operational decisions and for comparisons to historical operating results and the operating results of its competitors. Management finds the non-GAAP information to be useful and believes that its investors may also benefit from seeing the company's results ?through the eyes? of management in addition to seeing its GAAP results. A reconciliation between the company's GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided in the attached tables. Non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. They should be read and evaluated in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures.
