Page 23 Non - GAAP Measures Disclosure To supplement our consolidated financial statements and our business outlook, we use the following non - GAAP financial measures: (i) non - GAAP adjusted net income, and (ii) non - GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share, which exclude, as applicable, amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step - up to fair values of intangible and tangible assets related to past business combinations, gain/loss on foreign currency transactions, gain/loss o n d erivative instruments and any related tax effects. Also set forth above under the heading “FORWARD - LOOKING” are reconciliations of forward - looking non - GAAP financial meas ures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management recognizes that the use of these non - GAAP measures has limitations, including the fact that they might not be compara ble with similar non - GAAP measures used by other companies and that management must exercise judgment in determining which types of charges and other items shou ld be excluded from its non - GAAP financial measures. Management currently compensates for these limitations by providing full disclosure of each non - GAAP financ ial measure and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in iso lat ion or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use these non - GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period - to - peri od comparisons. Our management believes that these non - GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our "core operating perfor mance". Management believes that "core operating performance" represents Sirona’s operating performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of its o per ations. Accordingly, management excludes from "core operating performance" the impact of acquisition - related intangible depreciation and amortization in order t o compare our underlying financial performance to prior periods, certain charges related to currency revaluation of assets and liabilities that do not reflect our period - to - period core operating performance, and to the extent relevant in a particular period, any other cash or non - cash items that management does not view as indicative of its on - going operating performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non - GAAP financial measures in assessing our performa nce and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non - GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal evaluation of period - to - period comparisons. We believe these non - GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metr ics used by management in its financial and operational decision making and (2) they are provided to and used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to fa cilitate comparisons with prior and subsequent reporting periods. Local Currency: We have included certain revenue information on a local currency basis. This information is a non - GAAP financial measure. We present revenue on a local currency basis because we believe it facilitates a comparison of our operating results from period to period without regard t o m any changes resulting solely from fluctuations in currency rates. Sirona calculates local currency revenue growth by comparing current - period local revenues to prior - period local revenues with b oth periods converted at the U.S. Dollar/local currency average foreign exchange rate for each month of the current period for all the currencies in which we d o b usiness.
