evaluating core operating results because the tax effect related to
stock-based compensation expenses is inconsistent in amount and
frequency.
c) We concluded under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
that a portion of our tax valuation allowance on specific deferred tax
assets was no longer required, primarily as a result of achieving
sustained profitability in certain tax jurisdictions. Therefore, we
reversed a portion of our tax valuation allowance which favorably
impacted income tax expense and net income.
As stated above, we present non-GAAP financial measures because we
consider them to be important supplemental measures of performance.
However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool
and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Omnicell's
GAAP results. In the future, we expect to incur expenses similar to the
non-GAAP adjustments described above and expect to continue reporting
non-GAAP financial measures excluding such items. Some of the limitations
in relying on non-GAAP financial measures are:
-- Omnicell's stock option and stock purchase plans are important
components of incentive compensation arrangements and compensation
related to these plans will be reflected as expenses in Omnicell's
GAAP results for the foreseeable future under SFAS No. 123R.
-- Other companies, including other companies in Omnicell's industry, may
calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than Omnicell,
limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.
Pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G, a detailed
reconciliation between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial results is set forth
in the financial statements at the end of this press release. Investors are
advised to carefully review and consider this information strictly as a
