Analog Devices Raises Third Quarter Fiscal 2020 Guidance - Seite 3

²Restructuring-Related Expense: Expenses incurred in connection with facility closures, consolidation of manufacturing facilities, severance, other accelerated stock-based compensation expense and other cost reduction efforts. We excluded these expenses from our non-GAAP measures because apart from ongoing expense savings as a result of such items, these expenses have no direct correlation to the operation of our business in the future.

³Acquisition-Related Transaction Costs: Costs directly related to certain acquisitions, including legal, accounting and other professional fees, as well as integration-related costs. We excluded these costs from our non-GAAP measures because they relate to a specific transaction and are not reflective of our ongoing financial performance.

⁴Tax-Related Items: Income tax effect of the non-GAAP items discussed above and income tax from certain discrete tax items. We excluded these tax-related items from our non-GAAP measures because they are not associated with the tax expense on our current operating results.
