A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.

This Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 include a forward-looking financial measure that was not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses (which excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense). Management uses this measure when assessing and identifying operational trends and, in management's opinion, this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors and other users of its financial statements by providing greater transparency into the historical and projected operating performance of the Company and the Company's future outlook. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
