Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial results and financial guidance that are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), this press release also contains the following Non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP cost of revenues, Non-GAAP R&D expense, Non-GAAP SG&A expense, Non-GAAP other income (expense), net, Non-GAAP net income and earnings per share. When preparing the Non-GAAP financial results and guidance, the Company excludes certain GAAP items that management does not consider to be normal, including recurring cash operating expenses that might not meet the definition of unusual or non-recurring items. In particular, these Non-GAAP financial measures exclude: non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, amortization expense related to acquisition-date inventory fair value step-up, stock based compensation expense related to the acceleration of vesting of equity awards for Soleno employees, changes in fair value of equity investments, acquisition-related transaction and integration costs, gains on sales of businesses, net of transaction costs, other divestiture-related transaction costs, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and certain adjustments to income tax expense. These Non-GAAP financial measures are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP as management believes these Non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they help indicate underlying trends in the Company's business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results and provide additional information regarding the Company's financial position. Management also uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals that are communicated internally and externally and to manage the Company's business and evaluate its performance. The Company provides guidance regarding combined R&D and SG&A expenses on both a GAAP and a Non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of these GAAP financial results to Non-GAAP financial results is included in the attached financial information.
In connection with the Soleno acquisition, this press release also includes unaudited pro forma full quarter VYKAT XR net product sales and total revenue, Non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses, and believes is useful to investors, to provide supplemental information regarding VYKAT XR net product sales for the full second quarter of 2026, including the period from April 1, 2026 through May 17, 2026, prior to the closing of the acquisition on May 18, 2026.
