These non-GAAP measures, which may be different than similarly-titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define "Non-GAAP gross profit" and "Non-GAAP gross margin" as GAAP gross profit and GAAP gross margin, respectively, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue and amortization of acquired intangible assets included in cost of revenue. We define “Non-GAAP loss from operations” as our GAAP loss from operations adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets. We define “Non-GAAP net loss” as our net loss adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets. We define “Non-GAAP net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted”, as our Non-GAAP net loss divided by our GAAP weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period on a basic or diluted basis, respectively. Management uses this non-GAAP measure to evaluate the performance of our business on a comparable basis from period to period. The above items are excluded from our Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP loss from operations and Non-GAAP net loss because these items are non-cash in nature, or are not indicative of our core operating performance, and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP loss from operations and Non-GAAP net loss provide useful supplemental information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors, even if negative, about the amount of cash used in our operations other than that used for investments in property and equipment. Other Business Metrics Annual Contract Value (ACV) – we define Annual Contract Value for an individual customer agreement as the total fixed fees under the agreement divided by the number of years in the agreement term. Our total ACV is the aggregate ACVs for all our customers as measured at a given point in time. Total fixed fees includes licensing, support and maintenance and other fixed fees under IP licensing or software licensing agreements but excludes variable revenue derived from licensing agreements with customers, particularly royalties. We define ACV plus royalties as ACV plus the trailing-twelve-months variable royalties and other revenue. Confirmed Design Starts – we define Confirmed Design Starts as when customers confirm their commencement of new semiconductor designs using our interconnect IP and notify us. Confirmed Design Starts is a metric management uses to assess the activity level of our customers in terms of the number of new semiconductor designs that are started using our interconnect IP in a given period. We believe that the number of Confirmed Design Starts is an important indicator of the growth of our business and future royalty revenue trends. Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) – we define Remaining Performance Obligations as the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including deferred revenue, billed and unbilled cancelable and non-cancelable contracted amounts.
