| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On November 3, 2005, Exelixis, Inc. issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. A copy of such press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this report, including the exhibit hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information contained herein and in the accompanying exhibit shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by Exelixis, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
The information furnished in this report, including the exhibit hereto, shall not be deemed to constitute an admission that such information or exhibit is required to be furnished by Regulation FD or that the information or exhibit in this report contains material information that is not otherwise publicly available.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Exelixis provides certain historical net loss information in the press release to illustrate the company’s results from operations excluding acquired in-process research and development, restructuring charges and certain non-cash charges, including (a) stock-based compensation expense and (b) amortization of purchased intangibles related to business combinations. Exelixis’ management believes the non-GAAP results are a useful measure of the company’s results from continuing operations because, in management’s view, the excluded charges are not necessarily reflective of or directly attributable to operations. These non-GAAP results are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
