consistency and enhances investors' ability to compare our performance

across financial reporting periods;

3) These non-GAAP financial measures are employed by Omnicell's management

4) These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons to the

operating results of other companies in our industry, which use similar

financial measures to supplement their GAAP results, thus enhancing the

perspective of investors who wish to utilize such comparisons in their

analysis of our performance.

Set forth below are additional reasons why specific items are excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures:

a) While stock-based compensation calculated in accordance with SFAS

No.123R constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense of Omnicell, it is

not an expense which requires cash settlement by Omnicell. We therefore

exclude these charges for purposes of evaluating core operating

stock-based compensation expenses to assist management and investors in

evaluating our core operating results.

b) We present our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures on a net

of SFAS No. 123R, is dependent upon the trading price of Omnicell's

common stock and the timing and exercise by employees of their stock

options. We analyze and measure operating results n
