Ikanos reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and additionally on a non-GAAP basis. These financial results are unaudited and may require certain adjustments that will be reflected in Ikanos– Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2014. These adjustments may include (a) retroactive application of a previously announced reverse stock split, if effected, which will impact all share and share-related amounts including the weighted average shares and related earnings per share calculations within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the earnings per share guidance provided below; and (b) a reclassification between prepaid expenses and stockholders– equity within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2014, as a result of the allocation of expenses recognized as issuance costs upon the completion of the rights offering, which is expected to be completed on January 30, 2015.
Non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP gross profits and non-GAAP operating expenses, where applicable, exclude the income statement effects of stock-based compensation and the amortization of intangible assets. Ikanos has provided these measures because its management believes these additional non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for performing financial analysis, as these additional measures highlight Ikanos– recurring operating results. Ikanos– management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate its operating performance and to plan for its future. However, non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP reporting.
