"Revenue during the quarter also reflected sequential improvement, primarily due to strength in the networking market. Looking forward, we expect to demonstrate additional leverage from our financial model as we further expand content in high-growth applications, such as USB Type-C connectors."

To facilitate the complete understanding of comparable financial performance between periods, Pericom also presents performance results net of certain non-cash and one-time items as non-GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this announcement of operating results contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the statement of operations effects of share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, fair value adjustments to depreciation expense on acquired fixed assets, acquisition-related costs, restructuring charges, asset write-offs, discrete adjustment to deferred tax assets and the corresponding tax effects and the effects of excluding share-based compensation upon the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP earnings per share.
We have excluded share-based compensation expense in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures. These expenses are non-cash in nature and rely on valuations of the future market price of our common stock that is difficult to predict and is affected by market factors that are largely not within the control of management. We have excluded amortization of intangible assets, amortization of fair value adjustments to depreciation expense on acquired fixed assets, acquisition-related costs, restructuring charges, asset write-offs, discrete adjustment to deferred tax assets and the corresponding tax effects because we do not consider them to be related to our core operating performance. We also use non-GAAP data in calculating certain metrics such as non-GAAP cost of revenues in computing inventory days of supply.
We use the non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate the Company's current operating performance. We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items is useful to investors because we do not consider these charges either part of the day-to-day business or reflective of the core operational activities of the Company that are within the control of management or that are used to evaluate the Company's operating performance.
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
