The information in this Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
On August 17, 2015, Agilent Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued its press release announcing financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2015.  A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
 
We provide non-GAAP financial information in order to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and to enhance our investors’ overall understanding of our core current financial performance and our prospects for the future.  We believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results “through the eyes” of management in addition to the GAAP presentation.  Management measures segment and enterprise performance using measures such as those that are disclosed in this release.  This information facilitates management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results.  Non-GAAP information allows for greater transparency to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operations decision making.  Historically, we have reported similar non-GAAP information to our investors and believe that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting.
 
This information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  It excludes items, such as restructuring and amortization, that may have a material effect on the Company’s expenses and earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Management monitors these items to ensure that expenses are in line with expectations and that our GAAP results are correctly stated but does not use them to measure the ongoing operating performance of the Company.  The non-GAAP information we provide may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
 
Additional explanation of non-GAAP information is provided in Exhibit 99.1.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 17, 2015 - Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today reported orders of $953 million, down 6 percent (up 3 percent on a core basis(3)) over one year ago for the third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2015. Third-quarter revenue was $1.01 billion, up 1 percent (up 9 percent on a core basis(3)) compared with one year ago.

Third-quarter GAAP income from continuing operations was $105 million, or $0.31 per share. Last year’s third-quarter GAAP income from continuing operations was $63 million, or $0.19 per share.

During the third quarter, Agilent had intangible amortization of $38 million, transformation costs of $12 million, acquisition and integration costs of $4 million, and a tax benefit of $14 million.

“Our operating model is driving above-market revenue growth and margin expansion,” he added. “In Q3, we delivered an adjusted operating margin of 19.9 percent(4), up 110 basis points from last year.”

Third-quarter revenue of $511 million from Agilent’s Life Sciences and Applied Markets Group (LSAG) grew 1 percent year over year (up 9 percent on a core basis(3)), driven by strong performance in pharma, environmental and forensics markets. LSAG’s Q3 operating margin was 18.7 percent.

Third-quarter revenue of $336 million from the Agilent CrossLab Group (ACG) was flat year over year (up 8 percent on a core basis(3)), led by continued strong acceptance of the company’s CrossLab services and consumables offerings. ACG’s operating margin was 22.6 percent in the quarter.

Agilent expects fourth-quarter 2015 revenue in the range of $1.03 billion to $1.05 billion. Fourth-quarter non-GAAP earnings are expected to be in the range of $0.45 to $0.49 per share(2).

For fiscal year 2015, Agilent expects revenue of $4.03 billion to $4.05 billion and non-GAAP earnings of $1.68 to $1.72 per share(2). The guidance is based on July 31, 2015, exchange rates.

(1)
Non-GAAP income from continuing operations and non-GAAP income from continuing operations per share exclude primarily the impacts of acquisition and integration costs, pre-separation costs, transformation initiatives and restructuring costs, business exit and divestiture costs, and non-cash intangibles amortization. We also exclude any tax benefits that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. A reconciliation between non-GAAP net income and GAAP net income is set forth on page 6 of the attached tables along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure.

(2)
Non-GAAP earnings per share as projected for Q4 FY15 and full fiscal year 2015 excludes primarily the impact of acquisition and integration costs, future restructuring costs, asset impairment charges, business exit and divestiture costs and non-cash intangibles amortization. We also exclude any tax benefits that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. Most of these excluded amounts pertain to events that have not yet occurred and are not currently possible to estimate with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Therefore, no reconciliation to GAAP amounts has been provided. Future amortization of intangibles is expected to be approximately $40 million per quarter.

(3)
Core orders and revenue exclude the impact of currency, the NMR business and acquisitions and divestitures within the past 12 months. Core revenue is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation between GAAP revenue and core revenue is set forth on page 8 of the attached tables along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure.

(4)
Adjusted operating margin is a non-GAAP measure and excludes primarily the impacts of acquisition and integration costs, transformation initiatives and restructuring costs, business exit and divestiture costs, and non-cash intangibles amortization in addition to the costs related to services Agilent is providing to Keysight post separation. A reconciliation is set forth on page 9 of the attached tables along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure.

(a) The adjustment for taxes excludes tax benefits that management believes are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 , management uses a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 20% and 16%, respectively, that we believe to be indicative of on-going operations.

Historical amounts are reclassified to conform with current presentation.
 
We provide non-GAAP income from continuing operations and non-GAAP income from continuing operations per share amounts in order to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and our prospects for the future. These supplemental measures exclude, among other things, charges related to the amortization of intangibles, the impact of restructuring charges, transformational initiatives, acquisition and integration costs, business exit and divestiture and pre-separation costs.

Restructuring costs include incremental expenses associated with publicly announced major restructuring programs, usually aimed at material changes in business and/or cost structure. Such costs may include one-time termination benefits, asset impairments, facility-related costs and contract termination fees.

Business exit and divestiture costs include costs associated with the exit of the NMR business and the divestiture of the XRD business.

Transformational initiatives include expenses associated with targeted cost reduction activities such as manufacturing transfers, small site consolidations, reorganizations, insourcing or outsourcing of activities. Such costs may include move and relocation costs, one-time termination benefits and other one-time reorganization costs. Included in this category are also expenses associated with the post-separation resizing of the IT infrastructure and streamlining of IT systems as well as the expenses incurred to effect the Agile Agilent reengineering.

Acquisition and Integration costs include all incremental expenses incurred to effect a business combination. Such acquisition costs may include advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees. Such integration costs may include expenses directly related to integration of business and facility operations, information technology systems and infrastructure and other employee-related costs.

Pre-separation costs include Agilent-specific incremental expenses incurred in order to effect the separation, through November 1, 2014 distribution date.

Net loss on extinguishment of debt relates to the early redemption of some of our senior notes.

Our management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of our core businesses, to estimate future core performance and to compensate employees. Since management finds this measure to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results “through the eyes” of management in addition to seeing our GAAP results. This information facilitates our management’s internal comparisons to our historical operating results as well as to the operating results of our competitors.
 
Our management recognizes that items such as amortization of intangibles and restructuring charges can have a material impact on our cash flows and/or our net income. Our GAAP financial statements including our statement of cash flows portray those effects. Although we believe it is useful for investors to see core performance free of special items, investors should understand that the excluded items are actual expenses that may impact the cash available to us for other uses. To gain a complete picture of all effects on the company’s profit and loss from any and all events, management does (and investors should) rely upon the GAAP income statement. The non-GAAP numbers focus instead upon the core business of the company, which is only a subset, albeit a critical one, of the company’s performance.

Readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. They should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
 
The preliminary non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS reconciliation is estimated based on our current information.

Income from operations reflect the results of our reportable segments under Agilent's management reporting system which are not necessarily in conformity with GAAP financial measures. Income from operations of our reporting segments exclude, among other things, charges related to the amortization of intangibles, the impact of restructuring charges, transformational initiatives, acquisition and integration costs, business exit and divestiture and pre-separation costs.
 
In general, recorded orders represent firm purchase commitments from our customers with established terms and conditions for products and services that will be delivered within six months.
 
Readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures.  They should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures.  It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

The preliminary segment information is estimated based on our current information.

(a) We compare the year-over-year change in revenue excluding the effect of the NMR business, recent acquisitions and divestitures and foreign currency rate fluctuations to assess the performance of our underlying business. To determine the impact of currency fluctuations, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars at the actual exchange rate in effect during the respective prior periods.


The preliminary reconciliation of GAAP revenue adjusted for the NMR business, recent acquisitions and divestitures and impact of currency is estimated based on our current information.
