33 About Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresWe believe that the presentation of non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share, free cash flow and other non-GAAP measures in this presentation providessupplemental information that is important to understanding financial and business trends and other factors relating to our financial condition and results ofoperations. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary indicators used by management as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods, and bymanagement and our board of directors to determine whether our operating performance has met certain targets and thresholds. Management uses non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share and other non-GAAP measures when evaluating operating performance because itbelieves that the exclusion of the items indicated herein, for which the amounts or timing may vary significantly depending upon our activities and otherfactors, facilitates comparability of our operating performance from period to period. We use free cash flow to conduct and evaluate our business as anadditional way of viewing our liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting ourcash flows. Many investors also prefer to track free cash flow, as opposed to only GAAP earnings. Free cash flow has limitations due to the fact that it does notrepresent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, and therefore it is important to view free cash flow as a complement to our entireconsolidated statements of cash flows. We have chosen to provide non-GAAP information to investors so they can analyze our operating results closer to theway that management does, and use this information in their assessment of our business and the valuation of our company. We compute non-GAAPoperating income (loss) and non-GAAP fully-diluted earnings per share by adjusting GAAP operating income (loss) and GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share toremove the impact of certain items and the tax effect of those adjustments. These and other non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or analternative to, GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income (loss) orearnings per fully-diluted share and other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do notreflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. We may expect to continue to incur expenses of a nature similarto these non-GAAP adjustments, and exclusion of these items should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.For more information on non-GAAP measures and adjustments, please see the Supplemental Information in this presentation and availableathttp://investors.formfactor.comfor reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
