GSI Group Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financials and other Financial Information
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial
measures, including non-GAAP revenues, adjusted EBITDA, and net debt. Non-GAAP adjustments include: net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation
and amortization, Semiconductor Systems revenues and cost of sales adjustments that had been deferred from customer orders shipped prior to 2009, but
had not been recognized in the period in which the orders were shipped due to previously undelivered elements or unresolved commitments; share-based
compensation; impairment of intangibles; restructuring and restatement costs; pre-petition and post-emergence professional fees; reorganization costs,
earnings from equity method investments, loss on discontinued operations, and other non-recurring items.  Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and
cash equivalents.
Management believes non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operating results because it
excludes amounts that management does not consider part of operating results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of
the Company. Management believes non-GAAP measures allow a useful alternative for viewing operating trends and performing analytical comparisons.
Accordingly, the Company believes non-GAAP measures provide greater transparency and insight into management’s method of analysis. While
management believes  non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information, these are not measures under U.S. GAAP, and therefore, should not be
considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures such as income from operations or net income.
Non-GAAP
financial
measures
are
also
used
by
our
management
to
evaluate
our
operating
performance,
communicate
our
financial
results
to
our Board of
Directors, benchmark our operating results against our historical performance and the performance of our peers, evaluate investment opportunities including
acquisitions and divestitures, and determine the bonus payments for senior management and other employees.
