Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains financial guidance that excludes stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that the presentation of financial guidance excluding stock-based compensation, net of tax, provides meaningful information to both management and investors. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash expenses, we believe that providing this non-GAAP financial measure allows for meaningful comparisons between our operating results from period to period. We believe that all of our non-GAAP financial measures are important tools for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating our operating results.
About IRADIMED CORPORATION
IRADIMED CORPORATION is the only known provider of non-magnetic intravenous (“IV”) infusion pump systems that are designed to be safe for use during magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) procedures. Other electromechanical medical devices and pumps contain magnetic and electronic parts that are potentially dangerous to operate in the presence of the powerful magnet that drives an MRI. Our MRidium 3860+ MRI compatible IV infusion pump system has been designed with non-ferrous parts, ceramic ultrasonic motors, non-magnetic mobile stands and other special features in order to safely and predictably deliver anesthesia and other IV fluids during various MRI procedures. Our pump solution provides a seamless approach to providing IV fluids before, during and after an MRI scan, which is important to critically-ill patients who cannot be removed from their vital medications, and children and infants who must generally be sedated in order to remain immobile during an MRI scan.
