alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles (gaap) and may be different from non-gaap measures presented by other companies. in addition, these non-gaap measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. these non-gaap measures have material limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with gaap and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the company’s financial results presented in accordance with gaap. the company’s use of non gaap measures, and the underlying methodology when including or excluding certain items, is not necessarily an indication of the results of operations that may be expected in the future, or that the company will not, in fact, record such items in future periods. you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these non-gaap measures. reconciliations of these non-gaap measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with gaap are provided in the financial tables included in this release. management uses non-gaap measures internally to evaluate the company’s operating performance from continuing operations against past periods and to budget and allocate resources in future periods. these non-gaap measures also assist management in evaluating the company’s core business and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis. management also uses these non-gaap measures as the primary performance measurement when communicating with analysts and investors regarding the company’s earnings results and outlook and believes that the presentation of these non-gaap measures is useful to investors because it provides investors with the operating results that management uses to manage the company and enables investors and analysts to evaluate the company’s core business. management also believes that the non-gaap liquidity measure free cash flow is useful both internally and to investors because it provides information about the amount of cash generated after capital expenditures that is then available to repay debt obligations, make investments and fund acquisitions, and for certain other activities. the non-gaap financial measures referenced by adi in this release include: adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin percentage, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating expenses percentage, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted nonoperating expense
