Non-GAAP Measures

Keysight uses a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business, for making operating decisions and for forecasting and planning for future periods. The definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others, and such non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Keysight generally uses non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management’s comparisons to historic operating results, to competitors’ operating results and to guidance provided to investors. In addition, Keysight believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides greater transparency to investors of information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Segment data reflect the results of our reportable segments under its management reporting system, which are not necessarily in conformity with GAAP financial measures. Segment revenue and income from operations are consistent with the non-GAAP measure as described below. Segment data are provided on page 6 of the attached tables, along with additional information regarding the use of this data.

Non-GAAP revenue excludes the impact of fair value adjustment to acquisition-related deferred revenue balances. Non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share for Q2 FY17, Q2 FY16 and as projected for Q3 FY17 exclude primarily the impacts of share-based compensation, restructuring and related costs, separation and related costs, acquisition and integration costs, acquisition-related fair value adjustments, acquisition-related compensation expense and non-cash intangible amortization. Keysight also excludes any tax benefits or expenses that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. Earnings per share is based on diluted shares.

The reconciliation between GAAP revenue, non-GAAP and non-GAAP core revenue for Q2 FY17 and Q2 FY16 and GAAP revenue and non-GAAP revenue as projected for Q3 FY17 is set forth on page 5, GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP operating margin on page 6, and the reconciliation between GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income is set forth on page 7 of the attached tables, along with additional information regarding the use of these non-GAAP measures.

Keysight utilizes a fixed long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate. When projecting this long-term rate, Keysight excludes any tax benefits or expenses that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. Additionally, Keysight evaluates its current long-term projections, current tax structure and other factors such as existing tax positions in various jurisdictions and key tax holidays in major jurisdictions where Keysight operates. This tax rate could change in the future for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to significant changes in geographic earnings mix including acquisition activity, or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions where Keysight operates. The above reasons also limit our ability to reasonably estimate the future GAAP tax rate and provide a reconciliation of the expected Non-GAAP earnings per share for third quarter 2017 to GAAP amounts.
