On June 5, 2003, National Semiconductor Corporation issued a news release
announcing earnings for the quarter ended May 25, 2003. The earnings news
release, which has been attached as Exhibit 99.1, contains Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations, Balance Sheets, and Statements of Cash
Flows that are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles, or GAAP. The news release also contains certain
reconciliations of net loss as reported to net income (loss) excluding license
writedowns and special items in 2003 and a tax refund in 2002 that are not
presented in accordance with GAAP. These reconciliations are presented as
supplemental information because we believe it provides investors with
additional information on the components of special items and provides a better
understanding of the underlying performance of our business. These non-GAAP
reconciliations should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for
or superior to, the financial statements prepared in accordance the GAAP that
are contained in the news release.
