Use of Non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Measures
Management uses non-GAAP adjusted results to evaluate the company’s operating and financial performance in light of business objectives and for planning purposes. These measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Applied believes these measures enhance investors’ ability to review the company’s business from the same perspective as the company’s management and facilitate comparisons of this period’s results with prior periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Webcast Information
Applied Materials will discuss these results during an earnings call that begins at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time today. A live webcast will be available at www.appliedmaterials.com. A replay will be available on the website beginning at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time today.

Results for the three months ended October 25, 2015 included a $2 million favorable adjustment of restructuring reserves related to prior restructuring plans and $1 million of inventory charges related to cost reductions in the solar business. Results for the three months ended July 26, 2015 primarily included $34 million of inventory charges and $17 million of restructuring charges and asset impairments related to the solar business.
 
 
4
Results for fiscal 2015 primarily included $35 million of inventory charges, $17 million of restructuring charges and asset impairments related to cost reductions in the solar business, and a $2 million favorable adjustment of restructuring reserves related to prior restructuring plans.
 
 
5
Results for the three months ended October 26, 2014 included a $2 million favorable adjustment of restructuring reserve, and results for the twelve months ended October 26, 2014 included $5 million of employee-related costs related to the restructuring program announced on October 3, 2012.
 
 
6
Results for the three months ended July 26, 2015 and fiscal 2015 included a $19 million foreign exchange loss due to an immaterial correction of an error related to functional currency change.
 
 
7
These items are significant gains, losses, or charges during a period that are the result of isolated events or transactions which have not occurred frequently in the past and are not expected to occur regularly or be repeated in the future.
 
 
8
Amounts for fiscal 2015 included an adjustment to decrease the provision for income taxes by $35 million with a corresponding increase in net income, resulting in an increase in diluted earnings per share of $0.03. The adjustment was excluded in Applied's non-GAAP adjusted results and was made primarily to correct an error in the recognition of cost of sales in the U.S. related to intercompany sales, which resulted in overstating profitability in the U.S. and the provision for income taxes in immaterial amounts in each year since fiscal 2010.
