We adjusted our 2021 amounts to reflect the simplified convertible instruments accounting guidance (ASU 2020-06), which we adopted on a full retrospective basis. The adoption eliminates the non-cash interest expense related to the conversion features of the convertible notes beginning in the first quarter of 2020.

(1)		Represents costs related to a patent infringement lawsuit.
(2)		Represents a gain from the sale of an equity investment.
(3)		For the three months ended March 31, 2022, tax adjustments were primarily related to the excess tax benefits from employee stock compensation vesting and the Verily milestone payment. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, tax adjustments were primarily related to the excess tax benefits from employee stock compensation vesting.
(4)		Net income used for calculating diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 includes an interest expense add back, net of tax, under the if-converted method for our senior convertible notes.
(5)		The adjustment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 is for the transition from GAAP diluted net income per share, which excludes diluted shares, to non-GAAP diluted net income per share, which includes diluted shares.
(6)		The sum of the non-GAAP diluted net income per share components may not equal the totals due to rounding.
(7)		The non-GAAP diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2022 excludes 4.8 million shares and 2.0 million shares related to our 2023 and 2025 senior convertible notes, respectively, which were dilutive for GAAP due to the tax benefit. The non-GAAP diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021 excludes 5.2 million shares related to our 2023 senior convertible notes, which were dilutive for GAAP due to the tax benefit. As the tax benefit is excluded from non-GAAP net income, we exclude the dilutive impact of the senior convertible notes from non-GAAP dilutive weighted-average shares outstanding. The 2023 senior convertible notes are also hedged through an anti-dilutive bond hedge arrangement.

ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The accompanying press release dated April 28, 2022 contains non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as well as adjusted EBITDA.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that they provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our operating performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by senior management in our financial and operational decision making. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude amounts that we do not consider part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the organization and our senior management. We compute non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. We may consider whether other significant items that arise in the future should be excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures.

We report non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, differ from GAAP measures with the same names, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measures. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliations between these presentations, to more fully understand our business.

Management believes that presentation of operating results that excludes these items provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Management also believes that this supplemental non-GAAP information is therefore useful to investors in analyzing and assessing our past and future operating performance.

Table E reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures in the press release to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

We exclude the following items from non-GAAP financial measures for non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share:

• Amortization of acquired intangible assets
• Collaborative research and development fees associated with milestone and incentive payments under our collaborative research and development arrangements paid or payable by issuing shares of our common stock
• Business transition and related costs associated with acquisition, integration and business transition activities, including severance, relocation, consulting, leasehold exit costs, third party merger and acquisition costs, and other costs directly associated with such activities
• COVID-19 costs associated with the COVID-19 outbreak related to taking the necessary precautions for essential personnel to operate safely both in person as well as remotely. Costs incurred include items like incremental payroll costs, consulting support, IT infrastructure and facilities related costs
• Income or loss from equity investments
• Intellectual property litigation costs
• Litigation settlement costs
• Loss on extinguishment of debt associated with our senior convertible notes
• Adjustments related to taxes for the excluded items above, as well as excess benefits or tax deficiencies from stock-based compensation, and the quarterly impact of other discrete items

Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash operating charges for share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization as well as non-operating items such as interest income, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, income and loss from equity investments, and income tax expense or benefit. For the reasons explained above, adjusted EBITDA also excludes non-cash collaborative research and development fees, business transition and related costs, COVID-19 costs, litigation settlement costs, and intellectual property litigation costs.
