"Backlog levels for the first quarter of 2016 represent approximately 80 to 85 percent of our anticipated first quarter 2016 revenue. Average selling prices for the first quarter of 2016 are expected to be down approximately two percent when compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The outlook for the first quarter of 2016 includes stock-based compensation expense of approximately $11 million to $13 million."

| **** | Regulation G and other provisions of the securities laws regulate the use of financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to investors. We use these measures, together with GAAP measures, for internal managerial purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, we do not, and you should not, rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that - when taken together with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures that we also provide in our releases - provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names. | ||
