Use of Non-GAAP Information

     In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), PDF Solutions also provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges as additional information relating to its operating results. PDF’s management believes that the presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. PDF has also chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform meaningful comparisons of its past, present and future operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The calculations of non-GAAP financial measures have been adjusted to exclude the effects of amortization of stock-based compensation and intangibles.
