Enzo Biochem, Inc. (NYSE:ENZ) Files An 8-K Results of Operations and Financial ConditionItem 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On September 27, 2017, Enzo Biochem, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its operating results for its fourth fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2017. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
In its press release, the Company discloses items not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), or non-GAAP financial measures (as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) that exclude certain significant charges or credits that are important to an understanding of the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company believes that its inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates analysis by investors in evaluating the Company’s performance and trends. The determination of significant charges or credits may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and may vary from period to period. The Company uses both GAAP financial measures and the disclosed non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define non-GAAP net income as consolidated net income / (loss) for such period adjusted for the following net of tax (i) litigation charges and settlements, (ii) business restructuring or other restructurings of a similar nature, and (iii) other unusual charges or expenses. We define adjusted EBITDA as an amount equal to consolidated net income / (loss) for such period adjusted for the following (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization expenses, (v) litigation charges and settlements, (vi) business restructuring charges or other restructurings of a similar nature, and (vii) other unusual charges or expenses.
