Intellectual Property
The Company possesses an intellectual property (IP) portfolio, which it protects through licensing and litigation. All income and expenses associated with the IP portfolio, including legal expenses, are classified and reported in the Other Income (Expense), net section of the income statement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Intergraph reported $23.7 million of pre-tax intellectual property income, net of all fees and expenses, compared to $136.1 million in the same period of 2005. As a technology company, Intergraph will continue to consider various licensing and litigation strategies to protect and defend its intellectual capital.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its financial statements, which are prepared on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis, Intergraph reports operating income before restructuring charges; operating margin before restructuring charges; operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); and operating EBITDA before restructuring charges. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and management with additional information to evaluate the Company’s past financial results and ongoing operational performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate making period-to-period comparisons and are indications of its operating performance. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not necessarily be comparable to those of other companies.
Conference Call and Webcast
Due to the pending acquisition by an investor group led by Hellman & Friedman LLC and Texas Pacific Group in a transaction valued at approximately $1.3 billion, the Company will not host a conference call relating to the financial results for its third quarter ending September 30, 2006.
