Non-GAAP Financial Information
In the commentary set forth above, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: gross profit, gross margin, operating income, operating margin, net income and earnings per share. In computing each of these non- GAAP financial measures, we exclude charges or gains relating to: stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring costs (including employee severance and benefits costs and charges related to excess facilities and assets), integration costs (consisting of costs associated with the integration of acquired businesses into our operations), impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets, amortization expense and other infrequent or unusual items, to the extent material or which we consider to be of a non-operational nature in the applicable period.
We have furnished these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide useful supplemental information to investors in that they eliminate certain financial items that are of a non-recurring, unusual or infrequent nature or are not related to the Company's regular, ongoing business. Our management also uses this information internally for forecasting, budgeting and other analytical purposes. Therefore, the non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to analyze the core financial and operating performance of our Company and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of operating trends. A reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP results is contained in the attached financial summary and is available on the Investor Relations section of our website at http://www.sanmina-/ sci.com. Sanmina-SCI provides earnings guidance only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent uncertainties associated with forecasting the timing and amount of restructuring, impairment and other unusual and infrequent items.
The non-GAAP financial information presented in this release may vary from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, non-GAAP financial information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
