Item 2.02. Results of Operation and Financial Condition.
On November 5, 2015, the Registrant issued an earnings release announcing its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 (the "Earnings Release"). A copy of the Earnings Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The Earnings Release includes financial measures that are not in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We refer to these measures as non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, the Earnings Release refers to statements of operations amounts, including adjusted diluted earnings per share amounts, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expenses and adjusted effective tax rate. The Earnings Release also refers to Net cash provided by operating activities, excluding the impact of certain legal settlements.
We define adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts as diluted EPS amounts, adjusted for certain upfront and milestone payments to partners; acquisition-related and integration items, including transaction costs, earn-out payments or adjustments, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and bridge financing costs; cost reduction and integration-related initiatives such as separation benefits, retention payments, other exit costs and certain costs associated with integrating an acquired company's operations; excess costs that will be eliminated pursuant to integration plans; asset impairment charges; amortization of intangible assets; inventory step-up recorded as part of our acquisitions; non-cash interest expense; litigation-related and other contingent matters; gains or losses from early termination of debt and hedging activities; foreign currency gains or losses on intercompany financing arrangements; and certain other items that the we believe do not reflect our core operating performance; the cash tax savings from acquired tax attributes; the tax effect of the pre-tax adjustments above at applicable tax rates and certain other tax items.
We define adjusted gross margin as total revenues, less cost of revenues, adjusted for amortization of intangible assets; certain upfront and milestone payments to partners; certain cost reduction and integration-related initiatives; inventory step-up recorded as part of our acquisitions; certain excess costs that will be eliminated pursuant to integration plans and certain other items that we believe do not reflect our core operating performance.
We define adjusted operating expense as operating expenses, adjusted for certain upfront and milestone payments to partners; acquisition-related and integration items, including transaction costs, earn-out payments or adjustments, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and bridge financing costs; cost reduction and integration-related initiatives such as separation benefits, retention payments, other exit costs and certain costs associated with integrating an acquired company's operations; excess costs that will be eliminated pursuant to integration plans; asset impairment charges; litigation-related and other contingent matters; and certain other items that we believe do not reflect our core operating performance.
We define adjusted effective tax rate as the effective tax rate, adjusted for certain upfront and milestone payments to partners; acquisition-related and integration items, including transaction costs, earn-out payments or adjustments, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and bridge financing costs; cost reduction and integration-related initiatives such as separation benefits, retention payments, other exit costs and certain costs associated with integrating an acquired company's operations; excess costs that will be eliminated pursuant to integration plans; asset impairment charges; amortization of intangible assets; inventory step-up recorded as part of our acquisitions; non-cash interest expense; litigation-related and other contingent matters; gains or losses from early termination of debt and hedging activities; foreign currency gains or losses on intercompany financing arrangements; and certain other items that the we believe do not reflect our core operating performance; the cash tax savings from acquired tax attributes; the tax effect of the pre-tax adjustments above at applicable tax rates and certain other tax items.
We define Net cash provided by operating activities, excluding the impact of certain legal settlements as Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, as reported, adjusted for certain legal settlements, which primarily relate to mesh and the Department of Justice settlement related to the sale, marketing and promotion of Lidoderm®.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We refer to these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating decisions because we believe they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance. For instance, we believe that these measures facilitate internal comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ results. We believe these measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency related to supplemental information used in our financial and operational decision-making. In addition, we have historically reported similar financial measures to our investors and believe that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in our current financial reporting. Further, we believe that these measures may be useful to investors as we are aware that certain of our significant stockholders utilize these measures to evaluate our financial performance. Finally, adjusted diluted EPS is used by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors in assessing the performance and compensation of substantially all of our employees, including our executive officers.




Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in the Earnings Release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided with the financial statements included in the Earnings Release.
However, with the exception of projected adjusted diluted EPS and Net cash provided by operating activities, excluding the impact of certain legal settlements, we have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of projected non-GAAP measures including adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expenses and adjusted effective tax rate. Not all of the information necessary for quantitative reconciliation is available to us at this time without unreasonable efforts. This is due primarily to variability and difficulty in making accurate detailed forecasts and projections. Accordingly, we do not believe that reconciling information for such projected figures would be meaningful.
The information in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information contained in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be incorporated into any registration statement or other document filed by the Registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
