SECTION 2 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On October 16, 2008, Gilead Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation, issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Non-GAAP net income and net income per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and nine months ended September 30, 2007, are presented excluding the after-tax impact of stock-based compensation expense and the related methodology for computing dilutive securities for net income per diluted share purposes. Non-GAAP net income and net income per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are presented excluding the after-tax impact of the purchased in-process research and development expense incurred in connection with the acquisition of all of Navitas Assets, LLC’s assets related to its cicletanine business, as well as the after-tax impact of stock-based compensation expense and the related methodology for computing dilutive securities for net income per diluted share purposes. Non-GAAP research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2008 and 2007 periods are presented excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense. Management believes this non-GAAP information is useful for investors, taken in conjunction with Gilead’s GAAP financial statements, because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of the company’s operating results as reported under United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The information in this Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
