Guidance for Q2 2015
"Despite a challenging first quarter due to the rapid strengthening of
the U.S. dollar, I am pleased to see all regions delivering revenue
growth on a constant currency basis. In Q2, we will continue to execute
on our long-term strategy for mitigating the impact of the strengthening
U.S. dollar," said
The company expects to see a significant headwind on its U.S. dollar revenue growth for the rest of 2015 due to the impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Currently, NI expects this impact to reduce its YOY U.S. dollar revenue growth by approximately 700 basis points in Q2, so that its constant currency growth would be 7 percentage points higher than its U.S. dollar revenue growth. This estimate is based on current exchange rates and this estimate can change as exchange rates fluctuate over the rest of the quarter.
As a result, NI currently expects Q2 revenue to be in the range of
Non-GAAP Presentation
In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with GAAP, NI
discloses certain non-GAAP operating results and non-GAAP information
that exclude certain charges. In this news release, the company has
presented its gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, operating
income, operating margin, income before income taxes, provision for
income taxes, net income and basic and fully diluted EPS for the three
month periods ending
When presenting non-GAAP information, the company includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the GAAP results. Management believes that including the non-GAAP results assists investors in assessing the company's operational performance and its performance relative to its competitors. The company presents these non-GAAP results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP, and these results should not be regarded as a substitute for GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability and performance of its business and does not consider stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition-related transaction costs and restructuring charges in managing its operations. Specifically, management uses non-GAAP measures to plan and forecast future periods; to establish operational goals; to compare with its business plan and individual operating budgets; to measure management performance for the purposes of executive compensation, including payments to be made under bonus plans; to assist the public in measuring the company's performance relative to the company's long-term public performance goals; to allocate resources; and, relative to the company's historical financial performance, to enable comparability between periods. Management also considers such non-GAAP results to be an important supplemental measure of its performance.
This news release also discloses the company's EBITDA and EBITDA diluted
EPS for the three-month periods ending
