Tekelec has cancelled the earnings conference call that was previously scheduled for Wednesday, November 9, 2011.
Certain non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press release. In the calculation of these measures, Tekelec generally excludes certain items such as amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring and other charges, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, and unusual, non-recurring gains and charges. Tekelec believes that excluding such items provides investors and management with a representation of the Company's core operating performance and with information useful in assessing its prospects for the future and underlying trends in Tekelec's operating expenditures and continuing operations. Management uses such non-GAAP measures to (i) evaluate financial results, (ii) manage the Company's operations, and (iii) establish operational goals. Further, non-GAAP measures are utilized by the Company's management and board of directors to assist in determining incentive compensation and evaluating key trends within the business. In addition, since the Company has historically reported non-GAAP measures to the investment community, the Company believes the inclusion of this information provides consistency in our financial reporting. The release and the attachments to this release provide a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP measures referred to in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered a substitute for the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
Certain statements made in this press release, including 2011 Guidance and statements regarding our expectations of the next generation session, policy and subscriber data management solutions orders, are forward-looking, reflect the Company's current intent, belief or expectations and involve certain risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual future performance may differ materially from such expectations as a result of important risk factors, which include, in addition to those identified in the Company's 2010 Form 10-K, 2011 First, Second, and Third Quarter Forms 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the effects on our revenue performance of our year-over-year decline in orders in 2010 and the increasing portion of our orders that are for newer products with longer order-to-revenue conversion cycles and lower margins on initial sales; our increasing dependence on next generation products with which we have less experience forecasting, building, and selling and for which the markets are less mature and more subject to demand and technology changes and increased competition; the effects of an increase in cost associated with selling our next-generation products including the cost associated with customer trials and lab systems, the risk that we may experience detrimental effects, such as employee distraction and litigation, from our 2011 restructuring activities, or may not realize the benefits of such activities, including as a result of delays resulting from the Company's complying with and undertaking, or its noncompliance with, any necessary individual and collective employee information and consultation obligations; the difficulty we may have in transitioning from a hardware-centric to a software-centric business; any adverse outcome from or effects of the securities litigations we currently have filed against us or other current or threatened litigation; the current or further detrimental changes in general economic, social, or political conditions in the countries in which we operate including the impact of credit availability and other economic factors on overall capital spending by our customers and resulting pressure on us to lower our prices; the rate and size of decline in demand for our older SS7-based products from which we still derive a substantial portion of our revenues; our ability to compete with other manufacturers that have lower cost bases than ours, are partially supported by foreign governments, and/or employ unfair trade practices; risks related to our international sales, markets and operations, including but not limited to: import regulations, limited intellectual property protection (including protection of our software source code), increased costs and potential liabilities related to compliance with current and future security provisions in customer contracts and regulations, and security, access, and other regulatory requirements imposed by governments, including in particular the government of India; exposure to increased bad debt expense and product and service disputes as a result of general economic conditions; the timeliness and functional competitiveness of our product releases, the timing and size of any increase in demand for our performance management, SIP, Diameter, policy and subscriber database products; the risk of infringing on, and litigating with others regarding their, intellectual property rights; the timing of our recognition of revenues; the extent to which any customer outsourcing to our competitors or supplier consolidation increases the influence of competitors on our customers' purchases; our ability to protect intellectual property rights; our ability to maintain OEM, partner, reseller, and vendor support and supply relationships; changes in the market price of the Company's common stock; and risks that our previously announced proposed merger transaction disrupts current plans and operations and potential difficulties in employee and customer retention as a result of the proposed transaction.
