Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This press release provides financial measures for gross margin, net loss, net loss per basic and diluted share, which exclude one-time expenses relating to the merger with Candela Corporation and an expense charge related to stock-based compensation and amortization and are therefore not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance because it reflects our operational results and enhances management's and investors' ability to evaluate the Company's gross margin, net loss and net loss per basic and diluted share. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when evaluating the business internally and, therefore, felt it important to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors. A reconciliation of each GAAP to non-GAAP financial measure discussed in this press release is contained in the accompanying financial tables.
