supplement netapp’s condensed consolidated financial statement information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the united states (gaap), netapp provides investors with certain non-gaap measures, including, but not limited to, historical non-gaap operating results, non-gaap net income, non-gaap effective tax rate, free cash flow, billings, and historical and projected non-gaap earnings per diluted share. netapp also presents the hardware and software components of our gaap product revenues. because our revenue recognition policy under gaap defines a configured storage system, inclusive of the operating system software essential to its functionality, as a single performance obligation, hardware and software components of our product revenues are considered non-gaap measures. the hardware and software components of our product revenues are derived from an estimated fair value allocation of the transaction price of our contracts with customers, down to the level of the product hardware and software components. this allocation is primarily based on the contractual prices at which netapp has historically billed customers for such respective components. netapp believes that the presentation of non-gaap net income, non-gaap effective tax rates, and non-gaap earnings per share data, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding gaap measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. netapp believes that the presentation of free cash flow, which it defines as the net cash provided by operating activities less cash used to acquire property and equipment, to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors because it reflects cash that can be used to, among other things, invest in its business, make strategic acquisitions, repurchase common stock, and pay dividends on its common stock. as free cash flow is not a measure of liquidity calculated in accordance with gaap, free cash flow should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the statement of cash flows. netapp believes that the presentation of the software and hardware components of our product revenues is meaningful to investors and management as it illustrates the significance of the company’s software and provides improved visibility into the value created by our software innovation and r&d investment. netapp approximates billings by adding net revenues as reported on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the period to the change in total deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue as reported on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the same period. billings is a performance measure that netapp believes provides useful information to management and investors because it approximates the amounts under purchase orders received by us during a given period that have been billed. netapp’s management uses these non-gaap measures in making operating decisions because it believes the measurements provide meaningful supplemental information regarding netapp’s ongoing operational performance. these non-gaap financial measures are used to: (1) measure company performance against historical results, (2) facilitate comparisons to our competitors’ operating results and (3) allow greater transparency with respect to information used by management in financial and operational decision making. netapp excludes the following items from its non-gaap measures when applicable: a. amortization of intangible assets. netapp records amortization of intangible assets that were acquired in connection with its business combinations. the amortization of intangible assets varies depending on the level of acquisition activity. management finds it useful to exclude these charges to assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods and in measuring operational performance. b. stock-based compensation expenses. netapp excludes stock-based compensation expenses from its non-gaap measures primarily because the amount can fluctuate based on variables unrelated to the performance of the underlying business. while management views stock-based compensation as a key element of our employee retention and long-term incentives, we do not view it as an expense to be used in evaluating operational performance in any given period. c. litigation settlements. netapp may periodically incur charges or benefits related to litigation settlements. netapp excludes these charges and benefits, when significant, because it does not believe they are reflective of ongoing business and operating results. d. acquisition-related expenses. netapp excludes acquisition-related expenses, including (a) due diligence, legal and other one-time integration charges and (b) write down of assets acquired that netapp does not intend to use in its ongoing business, from its non-gaap measures, primarily because they are not related to our ongoing business or cost base and, therefore, are less useful for future planning and forecasting. e. restructuring charges. these charges consist of restructuring charges that are incurred based on the particular facts and circumstances of restructuring decisions, including employment and contractual settlement terms, and other related charges, and can vary in size and frequency. we therefore exclude them in our assessment of operational performance. f. asset impairments. these are non-cash charges to write down assets when there is an indication that the asset has become impaired. management finds it useful to exclude these non-cash charges due to the unpredictability of these events in its assessment of operational performance. g. gains/losses on the sale or derecognition of assets. these are gains/losses from the sale of our properties and other transactions in which we transfer control of assets to a third party. management believes that these transactions do not reflect the results of our underlying, on-going business and, therefore, are less useful for future planning and forecasting. h. gains/losses on the sale of investments in equity securities. these are gains/losses from the sale of our investment in certain equity securities. typically, such investments are sold as a result of a change in control of the underlying businesses. management believes that these transactions do not reflect the results of our underlying, on-going business and, therefore, are less useful for future planning and forecasting. i. debt extinguishment costs. netapp excludes certain non-recurring expenses incurred as a result of the early extinguishment of debt. management believes such nonrecurring costs do not reflect the results of its underlying, on-going business and, therefore, are less useful for future planning and forecasting. j. income tax adjustments. netapp’s non-gaap tax provision is based upon a projected annual non-gaap effective tax rate for the first three quarters of the fiscal year and an actual non-gaap tax provision for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. the non-gaap tax provision also excludes, when applicable, (a) tax charges or benefits in the current period that relate to one or more prior fiscal periods that are a result of events such as changes in tax legislation, authoritative guidance, income tax audit settlements, statute lapses and/or court decisions, (b) tax charges or benefits that are attributable to unusual or non-recurring book and/or tax accounting method changes, (c) tax charges that are a result of a non-routine foreign cash repatriation, (d) tax charges or benefits that are a result of infrequent restructuring of the company’s tax structure, (e) tax charges or benefits that are a result of a change in valuation allowance, and (f) tax charges resulting from the integration of intellectual property from acquisitions. management believes that the use of non-gaap tax provisions provides a more meaningful measure of the company’s operational performance. these non-gaap measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with gaap, and may be different from non-gaap measures used by other companies. in addition, these non-gaap measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. netapp believes that non-gaap measures have 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 that these measures should only be used to evaluate the company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding gaap measures. netapp management compensates for these limitations by analyzing current and projected results on a gaap basis as well as a non-gaap basis. the presentation of non-gaap financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the united states. the non-gaap financial measures are meant to supplement, and be viewed in conjunction with, gaap financial measures. constant currency netapp presents certain constant currency growth rates or quantifies the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on year-over-year fluctuations, including for net revenues, billings, and earnings. this constant currency information assumes the same foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect for the comparable prior-year period were used in translation of the current period results. about netapp netapp is a global, cloud-led, data-centric software company that empowers organizations to
