Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: a) non-GAAP revenue, b) non-GAAP cost of revenue, c) constant currency and d) non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS").

Non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP cost of revenue. The Company defines non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP cost of revenue as revenue and cost of revenue excluding the impact of the December 15, 2020 voluntary recall of the Jet 7 Reperfusion Catheter with Xtra Flex technology ("Jet 7 Xtra Flex").

Constant currency. The Company's constant currency revenue adjustment estimates the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on the translation of the Company's current period revenue, excluding the impact of the December 15, 2020 voluntary recall of the Jet 7 Xtra Flex, as compared to the applicable comparable period in the prior year. This impact is derived by taking the current local currency non-GAAP revenue and translating it into U.S. dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates used to translate the local currency revenue for the applicable comparable period in the prior year, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period. It does not include any other effect of changes in foreign currency rates on the Company's results or business.

Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS. The adjustments to the GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of:

• the effects of the impairment loss on an indefinite-lived intangible asset;
• the effects of one-time, non-recurring personnel-related expenses related to the development and launch of the Lightning product;
• the effects of the December 15, 2020 voluntary recall of the Jet 7 Xtra Flex on revenue and cost of revenue; and
• the excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation arrangements.

Full reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is set forth in the tables below.

Our management believes the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this press release are useful to investors in assessing the operating performance of our business and provide meaningful comparisons to prior periods and thus a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures enable comparison of the Company's financial results with other public companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to GAAP measures. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
