Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin
We calculate non-GAAP Gross Profit and non-GAAP Gross Margin excluding the items below from cost of goods sold in applicable periods and we calculate non-GAAP Gross Margin as non-GAAP Gross Profit divided by total net sales.
- PSL and Sanken Distribution Agreement - Represents the elimination of inventory cost amortization and foundry service payment related to one-time costs incurred in connection with the disposition of Polar Semiconductor, LLC (“PSL”) during the fiscal year ended March 26, 2021 (the “PSL Divestiture”).
- Stock-based compensation - Represents non-cash expenses arising from the grant of stock-based awards.
- AMTC Facility consolidation one-time costs - Represents one-time costs incurred in connection with closing of our manufacturing facility in Thailand (the “AMTC Facility”) and transitioning of test and assembly functions to our manufacturing facility in the Philippines (the “AMPI Facility”) announced in fiscal year 2020 consisting of: moving equipment between facilities, contract terminations and other non-recurring charges. The closure and transition of the AMTC Facility was substantially completed as of the end of March 2021. These costs are in addition to, and not duplicative of, the adjustments noted in note (*) below.
- Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets - Represents non-cash expenses associated with the amortization of intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of Voxtel, Inc., which closed in August 2020.

The closure and transition of the AMTC Facility was substantially completed as of the end of March 2021.
