Diluted EPS and Net Income: Q4 and FY 2008
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our "non-GAAP net income" and "non-GAAP diluted EPS" financial
measures exclude the following items from GAAP net income and diluted
EPS:
1. Purchase accounting and merger-related adjustments.
We exclude certain purchase accounting impacts, such as those related
to the 2003 merger between Biogen, Inc. and Idec Pharmaceuticals,
Inc., the acquisitions of Fumapharm AG, Conforma Therapeutics and
Syntonix Pharmaceuticals, and the consolidation of Cardiokine and
Neurimmune. These include charges for in-process research and
development and the incremental charges related to the amortization of
the acquired intangible assets. Excluding these charges provides
management and investors with a supplemental measure of
performance in which the Company's acquired intellectual property is
treated in a comparable manner to its internally developed intellectual
property.
2. Stock option expense recorded in accordance with SFAS 123R.
We believe that excluding the impact of expensing stock options better
reflects the recurring economic characteristics of our business. We also
exclude stock option expense from our non-GAAP R&D expenses and
SG&A expenses, but include P&L impact of restricted stock awards and
cash incentives in our non-GAAP results.
3. Unusual or non-recurring items.
We evaluate these on an individual basis, and consider both the
quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including (i) its size and
nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to our ongoing business operations,
and (iii) whether or not we expect it to occur as part of our normal
business on a regular basis.
We believe it is important to share these non-GAAP financial measures
with shareholders as they better represent the ongoing economics of the
business, reflect how we manage the business internally and set
operational goals, and form the basis of our management incentive
programs. Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS should not be viewed
in isolation or as a substitute for reported, or GAAP, net income and
diluted EPS.

GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation
Diluted EPS and Net Income: Five Year History
Notes: The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this
table are utilized by Biogen Idec management to gain an
understanding of the comparative financial performance of
the Company. Our non-GAAP financial measures are
defined as reported, or GAAP, values excluding (1)
purchase accounting and merger-related adjustments, (2)
stock option expense and the cumulative effect of an
accounting change relating to the initial adoption of SFAS
No. 123R and (3) other items. Our management uses these
non-GAAP financial measures to establish financial goals
and to gain an understanding of the comparative financial
performance of the Company from year to year and quarter
to quarter. Accordingly, we believe investors' understanding
of the Company's financial performance is enhanced as a
result of our disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS should
not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for reported, or
GAAP, net income and diluted EPS.
The GAAP figures reflect:
* 2004 and beyond - the combined Biogen Idec
* 2003 - a full year of IDEC Pharmaceuticals and 7 weeks of
the former Biogen, Inc. (for the period 11/13/03 through
12/31/03)
Numbers may not foot due to rounding.
