The GAAP results include certain costs, charges and expenses which are excluded from non-GAAP results. By publishing the non-GAAP measures, management intends to provide investors with additional information to further analyze the Company's performance, core results and underlying trends. Cree's management evaluates results and makes operating decisions using both GAAP and non-GAAP measures included in this press release. Non-GAAP results are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and non-GAAP information should be considered a supplement to, and not a substitute for, financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures attached to this press release.
Forward Looking Statements:
The schedules attached to this release are an integral part of the
release. This press release contains forward-looking statements
involving risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, that may
cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the
forward-looking statements. Actual results, including with respect to
our targets and prospects, could differ materially due to a number of
factors, including the risk that we may not obtain sufficient orders to
achieve our targeted revenues; price competition in key markets; the
risk that we or our channel partners are not able to develop and expand
customer bases and accurately anticipate demand from end customers,
which can result in increased inventory and reduced orders as we
experience wide fluctuations in supply and demand; the risk that our
commercial Lighting results will continue to suffer if new issues arise
regarding the new ERP system we implemented in the third quarter of
fiscal 2016 for this business; the risk that we may experience
production difficulties that preclude us from shipping sufficient
quantities to meet customer orders or that result in higher production
costs and lower margins; our ability to lower costs; the risk that our
results will suffer if we are unable to balance fluctuations in customer
demand and capacity; product mix; risks associated with the ramp-up of
production of our new products, and our entry into new business channels
different from those in which we have historically operated; the risk
that customers do not maintain their favorable perception of our brand
and products, resulting in lower demand for our products; the risk that
our products fail to perform or fail to meet customer requirements or
expectations, resulting in significant additional costs, including costs
associated with the potential recall of our products; the risk that
retail customers may alter promotional pricing, increase promotion of a
competitor's products over our products or reduce their inventory
levels, all of which could negatively affect product demand; the risk
that the sale of our Wolfspeed business to Infineon may be delayed or
may not occur; the ability to obtain regulatory approval or the
possibility that such regulatory approval may result in the imposition
of conditions that could cause the parties to abandon the Wolfspeed
transaction; the risk that one or more of the conditions to closing of
the Wolfspeed transaction may not be satisfied; the possibility that
anticipated benefits of the proposed Wolfspeed transaction will not be
realized, including the amount of cash to be realized by Cree from the
transaction or our resulting ability to pursue select strategic
transactions and stock repurchases; potential business uncertainty,
including changes to existing business relationships during the pendency
before closing that could affect our financial performance; the risk
that our investments may experience periods of significant stock price
volatility causing us to recognize fair value losses on our investment;
the risk that we have an increasingly complex supply chain and its
ability to scale to enable maintaining a sufficient supply of raw
materials; ongoing uncertainty in global economic conditions,
infrastructure development or customer demand that could negatively
affect product demand, collectability of receivables and other related
matters as consumers and businesses may defer purchases or payments, or
default on payments; the risk we may be required to record a significant
charge to earnings if our goodwill or amortizable assets become
impaired; our ability to complete development and commercialization of
products under development, such as our pipeline of improved LED chips,
LED components and LED lighting products; risks resulting from the
concentration of our business among few customers, including the risk
that customers may reduce or cancel orders or fail to honor purchase
commitments; risks related to our multi-year warranty periods for LED
lighting products; risks associated with acquisitions, divestitures or
investments generally; the rapid development of new technology and
competing products that may impair demand or render our products
obsolete; the potential lack of customer acceptance for our products;
risks associated with ongoing litigation; and other factors discussed in

Reportable Segments Description
The Company's Lighting Products segment primarily consists of LED lighting systems and bulbs. The Company's LED Products segment includes LED components, LED chips, and silicon carbide materials. The Company's Power and RF Products segment includes power devices and RF devices.
Financial Results by Reportable Segment
The Company's CODM reviews gross profit as the lowest and only level of segment profit. As such, all items below gross profit in the consolidated statements of income must be included to reconcile the consolidated gross profit presented in the preceding table to the Company's consolidated income before taxes.
The Company allocates direct costs and indirect costs to each segment's cost of revenue. The allocation methodology is based on a reasonable measure of utilization considering the specific facts and circumstances of the cost being allocated.
Certain costs are not allocated when evaluating segment performance. These unallocated costs consist primarily of manufacturing employees' stock-based compensation, expenses for profit sharing and quarterly or annual incentive plans and matching contributions under the Company 401(k) Plan.
Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Cree uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP non-operating income, net, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and free cash flow.
Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all historical non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables included with this press release. In this press release, Cree also presents its target for non-GAAP expenses, which are expenses less expenses in the various categories described below. Both our GAAP targets and non-GAAP targets do not include any estimated changes in the fair value of our Lextar investment.
Non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not in accordance with or an alternative to measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Cree's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate Cree's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Cree believes that these non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, enhance investors' and management's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and the Company's prospects for the future, including cash flows available to pursue opportunities to enhance shareholder value. In addition, because Cree has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the Company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the Company's financial reporting.
For its internal budgeting process, and as discussed further below, Cree's management uses financial statements that do not include the items listed below and the income tax effects associated with the foregoing. Cree's management also uses non-GAAP measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the Company's financial results.
Cree excludes the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP measures when applicable:
Contract manufacturer dispute related expenses. The Company has recognized charges associated with a dispute with a former Lighting Products contract manufacturer, whom Cree ceased utilizing as of the end of 2014. Because these charges relate to amounts from prior fiscal years, Cree does not consider these charges to be reflective of ongoing operating results.
T8 product recall charges. The Company has recognized charges associated with the product recall of its Linear LED T8 Replacement Lamps and the associated discontinuance of this product line. Because these charges relate to the exit from a market segment, Cree does not consider these charges to reflective of ongoing operating results.
Stock-based compensation expense. This expense consists of expenses for stock options, restricted stock, performance stock awards and employee stock purchases through its ESPP. Cree excludes stock-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures because they are non-cash expenses that Cree does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results.
Amortization or impairment of acquisition-related intangibles. Cree incurs amortization or impairment of acquisition-related intangibles in connection with acquisitions. Cree excludes these items because they arise from Cree's prior acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the ongoing operating results of Cree's business.
Asset retirement charges. Cree has recognized charges for the impact of the decision to abandon or retire certain property and equipment prior to the end of their estimated useful lives. Because these charges relate to assets which have been or will be retired prior to the end of their estimated useful lives, Cree does not consider these charges to be reflective of ongoing operating results.
LED business restructuring charges or gains. In
Changes in the fair value of our Lextar investment. The Company's
common stock ownership investment in Lextar Electronics Corporation is
accounted for utilizing the fair value option. As such, changes in fair
value are recognized in income, including fluctuations due to the
exchange rate between the New
Recognition of deferred IPO (Initial Public Offering) costs. The
Company has recognized an expense for previously deferred IPO costs due
to the delay in the anticipated timing of the planned initial public
offering of Wolfspeed, our Power and RF Products segment plus the
non-LED Materials and gemstones business, as required by
Transaction costs associated with the sale of the Wolfspeed business. The Company has incurred transaction costs in conjunction with the proposed sale of its Wolfspeed business to Infineon. Because these costs were incurred relative to a portion of the business which will be reported as discontinued operations in fiscal 2017, Cree does not consider these charges to be reflective on ongoing operating results.
Income tax effects of the foregoing non-GAAP items. This amount is used to present each of the amounts described above on an after-tax basis consistent with the presentation of non-GAAP net income.
Cree expects to incur many of these same expenses, including income taxes associated with these expenses, in future periods. In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, Cree also uses free cash flow as a measure of operating performance and liquidity. Free cash flow represents operating cash flows less net purchases of property and equipment and patent and licensing rights. Cree considers free cash flow to be an operating performance and a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property and equipment, a portion of which can then be used to, among other things, invest in Cree's business, make strategic acquisitions, strengthen the balance sheet and repurchase stock. A limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of operating performance and liquidity is that it does not represent the residual cash flow available to the company for discretionary expenditures, as it is excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as debt service.
