1See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for important information about our use of non-GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: a) constant currency and b) non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS").

Constant currency. The Company's constant currency revenue disclosures estimate the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on the translation of the Company's current period revenue as compared to the applicable comparable period in the prior year. This impact is derived by taking the current local currency revenue and translating it into U.S. dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates used to translate the local currency revenue for the applicable comparable period in the prior year, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period. It does not include any other effect of changes in foreign currency rates on the Company's results or business.

Non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted EPS. The adjustments to the GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of:

  • the effects of non-recurring expenses associated with the achievement of R&D milestones for our Thunderbolt product and our Lightning launch;
  • the effects of the one-time expense associated with the accelerated vesting of options and the amortization of acquired intangible assets over their estimated useful lives in connection with the Sixense acquisition; and
  • the excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation arrangements.

Full reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is set forth in the tables below.

Our management believes the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this press release are useful to investors in assessing the operating performance of our business and provide meaningful comparisons to prior periods and thus a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Specifically, we consider the change in constant currency revenue as a useful metric as it provides an alternative framework for assessing how our underlying business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We consider non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted EPS useful metrics as they provide an alternative framework for assessing how our underlying business performed excluding the items referred to above.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to GAAP measures. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Forward-Looking Statements
Except for historical information, certain statements in this press release are forward-looking in nature and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us. Our business and operations are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and, consequently, actual results may differ materially from those projected by any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those projected include, but are not limited to: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition; failure to sustain or grow profitability or generate positive cash flows; failure to effectively introduce and market new products; delays in product introductions; significant competition; inability to further penetrate our current customer base, expand our user base and increase the frequency of use of our products by our customers; inability to achieve or maintain satisfactory pricing and margins; manufacturing difficulties; permanent write-downs or write-offs of our inventory; product defects or failures; unfavorable outcomes in clinical trials; inability to maintain our culture as we grow; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; potential adverse regulatory actions; and the potential impact of any acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make. These risks and uncertainties, as well as others, are discussed in greater detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which we expect to file with the SEC on or before March 1, 2022. There may be additional risks of which we are not presently aware or that we currently believe are immaterial which could have an adverse impact on our business. Any forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and assumptions regarding future events and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements. We make no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may change.

2For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021, management used a combined federal and state tax rate of 23.29% to compute the tax effect of non-GAAP measures. The $9.0 million tax effect above excludes stock-based compensation related to any early exercises and replacement options exercised by foreign employees in connection with the acquisition of Sixense. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, management used a combined federal and state tax rate of 23.16% to compute the tax effect of non-GAAP measures.

3For the purposes of calculating Non-GAAP diluted EPS for the three months ended December 31, 2021, non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 38,706,721 was used, as the Company had non-GAAP net income in the period.

4GAAP and Non-GAAP net loss and diluted EPS for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, include the one-time unfavorable impact of $18.4 million from the December 2020 voluntary recall.
