A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most nearly comparable GAAP measure follows the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows included in this release. It is notable that in this report in addition to excluding the effects of non-recurring income and special charges such as restructuring charges and acquisition related charges, management has initiated the removal of the amortization of intangibles in its adjusted gross margin and non-GAAP earnings per share calculations to provide investors with measures more comparable to common industry reporting and more reflective of Brooks' day to day operational performance. This adjustment is clarified in the referenced reconciliation.
Management Comments
"The strong results in the quarter reflect the focus we have had on operational execution and improving our strategic portfolio," stated Dr.

Notes on Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
The information in this press release is for: internal managerial purposes; when publicly providing guidance on future results; and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. These financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management believes these financial measures provide an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations, that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single measure.
The press release includes financial measures which exclude the effects of non-recurring income and special charges such as restructuring charges and acquisition related charges. Management believes these measures are useful to investors because it eliminates accounting charges that do not reflect Brooks' day-to-day operations. Tables reconciling GAAP to the non-GAAP measures are presented below.
