(1) Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures that QIAGEN believes
should be considered in addition to the reported results prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be
considered a substitute. QIAGEN believes certain items - such as those
listed above - should be excluded from adjusted results when they are
outside the ongoing core operations, vary significantly from period to
period, or affect the comparability of results with its competitors and its
own prior periods. Includes non-GAAP sales related to the bioinformatics
acquisitions.
