Non-GAAP Financial Information
Vanda believes that the Non-GAAP financial information provided in this press release can assist investors in
understanding and assessing the ongoing economics of Vanda s business and reflect how it manages the business internally and sets operational goals. Vanda s Non-GAAP Operating expenses,
excluding cost of goods sold exclude stock-based compensation and intangible asset amortization.
Vanda believes that excluding the impact of these
items better reflects the recurring economic characteristics of its business, as well as Vanda s use of financial resources and its long-term performance.
This press release includes a projection of 2017 Non-GAAP Operating expenses, excluding cost of goods sold, a
forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measure under the heading 2017 Financial Guidance and a projection of 2018 Non-GAAP Operating expenses, excluding cost of
goods sold, a forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measure under the heading 2018 Financial Guidance. This Non-GAAP financial measure is determined by
excluding cost of goods sold, stock-based compensation and intangible asset amortization. Vanda is unable to reconcile this Non-GAAP guidance to GAAP because it is difficult to predict the future impact of
This Non-GAAP financial measure, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures reported by other companies since not all companies may calculate this measure in an identical manner and, therefore, it is not necessarily an accurate measure of comparison between companies.
The presentation of this Non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for guidance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of this Non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant elements that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Vanda s
financial statements. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management in determining this Non-GAAP financial measure. Vanda is unable to reconcile
this non-GAAP guidance to GAAP because it is difficult to predict the future impact of these adjustments.
