Nevertheless, we believe the long-term fundamentals of these healthcare markets remain solid,” commented Mr. Cheng Minghe, Mindray’s Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Strategic Officer. “To achieve sustainable growth for our company in the long run, we will continue to strengthen our sales, marketing, distribution and product development capabilities as well as evaluate M&A and other collaboration opportunities.”

The company computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter.

Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results on a stand-alone basis or as a substitute for results under GAAP, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies, and should refer to the reconciliation of GAAP results with non-GAAP results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively, in the attached financial information.
