As a result of the Freescale Semiconductor (“Freescale”) Merger, NXP has included previously reported Freescale product group revenue into its various existing High Performance Mixed Signal (HPMS) and Standard Products (STDP) segments.

2. The preceding table sets forth our unaudited combined adjusted quarterly financial information, including estimates of segment and relative business line allocations, for the three-month and full-year period ended December 31, 2015 in addition to the as reported information for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2016, October 2, 2016, and December 31, 2015, as well as the full-year period ending December 31, 2016.  This combined adjusted financial information has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of NXP for the years ended December 31, 2015 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Freescale for the period ended October 2, 2015. In each case, we have excluded revenue generated in our RF Power business, which was divested in connection with the closing of the Freescale Merger on December 7, 2015, and our Bi-Polar business, which was divested on November 9, 2015 but have not otherwise made adjustments to the historical figures.  In addition, the preceding information   does not give effect to the financial impact on our statement of operations for any other acquisitions or divestitures made by NXP or Freescale during the periods presented.

Neither the assumptions underlying the adjustments nor the resulting adjusted financial information have been audited or reviewed in accordance with any generally accepted auditing standards. The information presented should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of NXP and Freescale, which are filed with the SEC.

3. Combined adjusted revenue is the combined consolidated revenue of NXP and Freescale for each of the quarterly periods presented. The information excludes the divestment of previously announced business and the creation of joint-ventures.  The unaudited adjusted financial information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the revenue performance that would have been achieved had the acquisition taken place at the beginning of the periods shown.  In addition, this information is not intended to be a projection of future results from the combined operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In managing NXP's business on a consolidated basis, management develops an annual operating plan, which is approved by our Board of Directors, using non-GAAP financial measures. In measuring performance against this plan, management considers the actual or potential impacts on these non-GAAP financial measures from actions taken to reduce costs with the goal of increasing our gross margin and operating margin and when assessing appropriate levels of research and development efforts. In addition, management relies upon these non-GAAP financial measures when making decisions about product spending, administrative budgets, and other operating expenses. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting NXP’s business. We believe that they enable investors to perform additional comparisons of our operating results, to assess our liquidity and capital position and to analyze financial performance excluding the effect of expenses unrelated to operations, certain non-cash expenses and share-based compensation expense, which may obscure trends in NXP's underlying performance.  This information also enables investors to compare financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management. 

These non-GAAP financial measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of these and other similar items in NXP’s non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual.  Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are provided in the financial statements portion of this release in a schedule entitled “Financial Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Results (unaudited).” Please refer to the NXP Historic Financial Model file found on the Financial Information page of the Investor Relations section of our website at www.nxp.com/investor for additional information related to our rationale for using these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as the impact of these measures on the presentation of NXP's operations. 

In addition to providing financial information on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), NXP also provides the following selected financial measures on a non-GAAP basis: (i) Gross profit, (ii) Gross margin, (iii) Research and development, (iv) Selling, general and administrative, (v) Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, (vi) Other income, (vii) Operating income (loss), (viii) Operating margin, (ix) Financial Income (expense), (x) EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and trailing 12 month adjusted EBITDA, and (xi) non-GAAP free cash flow and free cash flow as a percent of Revenue. The non-GAAP information excludes the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, the purchase accounting effect on inventory and property, plant and equipment, merger related costs (including integration costs), certain items related to divestitures, share-based compensation expense, restructuring and asset impairment charges, non-cash interest expense on convertible notes, extinguishment of debt, changes in the fair value of the warrant liability prior to January 1, 2016 and foreign exchange gains and losses.
