To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial information, which is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain costs and expenses, as well as other supplemental information. The non-GAAP and supplemental information is provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our operating performance and our prospects in the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP information provides useful measures to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial performance by excluding certain costs and expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. The non-GAAP information is among the budgeting and planning tools that management uses for future forecasting. The presentation of non-GAAP and supplemental information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared and presented in accordance with United States GAAP.

a Acquisition related charges include amortization of intangible assets, inventory fair value adjustments, in-process research and development associated with acquisitions, and unrealized gains resulting from Euro call option contracts entered into in connection with our acquisition of ICOS Vision Systems Corporation NV. Management believes that the expense associated with the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets is appropriate to be excluded because a significant portion of the purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have short lives, and exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both KLA-Tencor's newly acquired and long-held businesses. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude inventory fair value adjustments, in-process research and development and gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts associated with business acquisitions as they are not indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit comparability. Management believes excluding these items helps investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies.

b Restructuring, severance and other includes gains and costs associated with the company's facilities divestment program, reductions in force, entry into a severance and consulting agreement with the company's former president/chief operating officer, and gains from sale of facilities. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude those items as they are not indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit comparability. Management believes excluding these items helps investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies.

c Restatement related charges include compensation related to reimbursement payments by KLA-Tencor to non-executive employees for penalty taxes under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as legal and other expenses related to the stock option investigation, shareholder litigation and related matters. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude those items as they are not indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit comparability. Management believes excluding these items helps investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies.

d Goodwill and intangible asset impairment includes non-cash expense recognized as a result of the company's annual testing for goodwill impairment performed in the second quarter of every fiscal year and testing for intangible asset impairment driven by certain macroeconomic and company-specific triggering events, as well as the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets as a result of discontinuing acquired products and making acquired products available for sale. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude those items as they are not indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit comparability. Management believes excluding these items helps investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies.

e Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments includes the income tax effects of the excluded items noted above. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude the tax effects of the items noted above in order to present a more meaningful measure of non-GAAP net income.

f Non recurring tax item includes the U.S. tax impact associated with the implementation of our global manufacturing strategy and a benefit from revision of the amount of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries considered to be permanently reinvested outside the United States. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude these items as they are not indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit comparability. Management believes excluding these items helps investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies.
