Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but instead are predictions about future events. Examples of forward-looking statements in this press release include statements about the anticipated results for 2014, which remain subject to the finalization of the company's year-end closing, reporting, and audit processes. Although the company believes that its predictions are reasonable, future events are inherently uncertain, and its forward-looking statements may turn out to be incorrect. The company's forward-looking statements are subject to risks relating to, among other things, its ability to cost-effectively manage its chemistry service offerings, to meet goals for the expansion of its biologics service offerings, to protect its clients' intellectual property, and to compete effectively. Additional information about these and other relevant risks can be found in the company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013. The forward-looking statements in this press release speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful for understanding and assessing underlying business performance and operating trends, and the company believes that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the company's financial performance and liquidity and when planning and forecasting future periods. You should not view non-GAAP results on a stand-alone basis or as a substitute for results under GAAP, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies. Because the company's financial performance is subject to finalization of its year-end closing, reporting, and audit processes, the company does not provide a specific non-GAAP to U.S. GAAP reconciliation. A reconciliation will be provided with the company's earnings release covering its fourth-quarter and full-year 2014 results. The non-GAAP guidance presented above is consistent with the presentation of non-GAAP results as reported in the company's March 5, 2014 press release covering its fourth-quarter and full-year 2013 results.
