The non-GAAP adjustments\nabove may or may not be infrequent or nonrecurring in nature, but are a result\nof periodic or non-core operating activities. We believe this non-GAAP\ninformation is helpful in understanding trends and in analyzing our operating\nresults and earnings. We are providing this information to investors to assist\nin performing analysis of our operating results. When evaluating performance\nand making decisions on how to allocate our resources, management uses this\nnon-GAAP information and believes investors should have access to similar data\nwhen making their investment decisions. We believe these non-GAAP financial\nmeasures increase transparency by providing investors with useful supplemental\ninformation about the financial performance of our business, enabling enhanced\ncomparison of our operating results between periods and with peer companies.\nThe presentation of these adjusted amounts varies from amounts presented in\naccordance with U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to amounts\nreported by other companies. Our management excludes the following items as\napplicable in analyzing our operating results and understanding trends in our\nearnings:\n* Stock-based compensation;\n* Gains and losses from settlements;\n* Gains and losses from debt prepayments;\n* Restructure and asset impairments; and\n* The estimated tax effects of above, non-cash changes in net deferred income\ntaxes, assessments of tax exposures, certain tax matters related to prior\nfiscal periods, and significant changes in tax law. The divergence between our\nGAAP and non-GAAP income tax (provision) benefit relates to the difference in\nour GAAP and non-GAAP estimated annual effective tax rates, which are computed\nseparately.\nNon-GAAP diluted shares are adjusted for the impact of additional shares\nresulting from the exclusion of stock-based compensation from non-GAAP income.\n\n MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.

The non-GAAP adjustments\nabove may or may not be infrequent or nonrecurring in nature, but are a result\nof periodic or non-core operating activities. We believe this non-GAAP\ninformation is helpful in understanding trends and in analyzing our operating\nresults and earnings. We are providing this information to investors to assist\nin performing analysis of our operating results. When evaluating performance\nand making decisions on how to allocate our resources, management uses this\nnon-GAAP information and believes investors should have access to similar data\nwhen making their investment decisions. We believe these non-GAAP financial\nmeasures increase transparency by providing investors with useful supplemental\ninformation about the financial performance of our business, enabling enhanced\ncomparison of our operating results between periods and with peer companies.\nThe presentation of these adjusted amounts varies from amounts presented in\naccordance with U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to amounts\nreported by other companies. Our management excludes the following items as\napplicable in analyzing our operating results and understanding trends in our\nearnings:\n* Stock-based compensation;\n* Gains and losses from settlements;\n* Gains and losses from debt prepayments;\n* Restructure and asset impairments; and\n* The estimated tax effects of above, non-cash changes in net deferred income\ntaxes, assessments of tax exposures, certain tax matters related to prior\nfiscal periods, and significant changes in tax law. The divergence between our\nGAAP and non-GAAP income tax (provision) benefit relates to the difference in\nour GAAP and non-GAAP estimated annual effective tax rates, which are computed\nseparately.\nNon-GAAP diluted shares are adjusted for the impact of additional shares\nresulting from the exclusion of stock-based compensation from non-GAAP income.\n\n MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
