ⁱ Constant currency is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated by comparing the company’s quarterly average foreign exchange rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The constant currency disclosures take current local currency revenue and translate 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. The company believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in assessing the operating performance of the business. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to GAAP measures.

The Company makes reference in this press release to “non-GAAP net income” which excludes research and development expense recorded for a one-time upfront license and option fee, for the Company’s collaboration with Biocartis N.V.; and certain other non-recurring income and expenses.

In addition, the Company’s management uses such non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate and assess its core operations and to make ongoing operating decisions. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income (loss) from operations, net loss or other income (expense) information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
