GAAP net loss per share is calculated based upon 255,753 basic and diluted weighted-average shares of common stock. Non-GAAP net income per share is calculated based upon 255,753 basic and 261,777 diluted weighted-average shares of common stock. The numerator used to compute non-GAAP diluted net income per share was increased by $0.9 million for after-tax interest expense on our convertible senior notes in accordance with the if-converted method. |
(2) |
Other operating expenses include amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $21.2 million and employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions of $5.2 million. |
(3) |
We utilize a fixed long-term projected tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the reporting periods. For fiscal 2023, the non-GAAP tax rate is 19%. Included in the per share amount is a dilution impact of $0.02 from the conversion of GAAP diluted net loss per share to non-GAAP diluted net income per share. |

GAAP net income per share is calculated based upon 248,468 basic and 254,760 diluted weighted-average shares of common stock. Non-GAAP net income per share is calculated based upon 248,468 basic and 262,577 diluted weighted-average shares of common stock. The numerator used to compute non-GAAP diluted net income per share was increased by $1.3 million for after-tax interest expense on our convertible senior notes in accordance with the if-converted method. |
(2) |
Other operating expenses include amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $19.7 million and employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions of $7.5 million. |
(3) |
We utilize a fixed long-term projected tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the reporting periods. For fiscal 2022, the projected tax rate was 19%. Included in the per share amount is a dilution impact of $0.02 from the conversion of GAAP diluted net income per share to non-GAAP diluted net income per share. |
