Selected Operating Data
In the press release above we provide non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015. We also provide non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014. We present these non-GAAP amounts to demonstrate the impact of the consolidation of J-Devices, the sale of our subsidiary to J-Devices, the early extinguishment of debt and the charges we recognized related to the settlement of our litigation with Tessera. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). These measures have limitations, including that they exclude the charges for the settlement payments, which are amounts that the company will ultimately have to pay in cash, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, gross margin, net income and earnings per diluted share prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Below is the reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share to U.S. GAAP gross margin, net income and earnings per diluted share.
