GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented
on a GAAP basis, Polycom uses non-GAAP measures of operating
results, net income and income per share, which are adjusted
to exclude certain costs, expenses, gainslosses we believe
appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past
financial performance and also our prospects for the future.
These adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made
with the intent of providing both management and investors a
more complete understanding of Polycom's underlying
operational results and trends and our marketplace
performance. For example, the non-GAAP results are an
indication of our baseline performance before gains, losses,
or other charges that are considered by management to be
outside of our core operating results. In addition, these
adjusted non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators
management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting
of future periods. The presentation of this additional
information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as
a substitute for net income or diluted net income per share
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States.
