On a GAAP basis, net loss for the full year 2012 was $4.068 billion, or $2.89 per share. Reported results included goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, acquisition- and divestiture-related net credits, restructuring- and litigation-related charges, discrete tax items and amortization expense (after-tax) of $5.001 billion, or $3.55 per share. Adjusted net income for the full year 2012, excluding these net charges, was $933 million, or $0.66 per share.
On a GAAP basis, net income for the full year 2011 was $441 million, or $0.29 per share.

Adjusted net income for the full year 2011, excluding these net charges, was $1.018 billion, or $0.67 per share.
Expansion of 2011 Restructuring Program
The company also announces an expansion of its 2011 restructuring program (the "Expansion") intended to build on the progress made under that program to strengthen our operational effectiveness and efficiencies and support new growth investments, which we expect will increase shareholder value. The company estimates that the Expansion will reduce gross annual pre-tax operating expenses by approximately $100 million to $115 million exiting 2013; and that the total 2011 restructuring program, including the Expansion (the "Total Program"), will reduce gross annual pre-tax operating expenses by approximately $340 million to $375 million exiting 2013. The company expects that a substantial portion of the Total Program savings will be reinvested in targeted areas for future growth, including strategic growth initiatives and emerging markets. Key activities under the Total Program are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2013.
The company anticipates the reduction of 900 to 1,000 positions worldwide through a combination of employee attrition and targeted headcount reductions as a result of the Expansion. Plans detailing specific employee impacts will be developed for each affected region and business, and the company will work with employee representative bodies where required under local laws.
The company estimates that the implementation of the Expansion will result in total pre-tax charges of approximately $140 million to $160 million, and that approximately $100 million to $120 million of these charges will result in future cash outlays. The company estimates that the implementation of the Total Program will result in total pre-tax charges of approximately $300 million to $355 million, and that approximately $270 million to $300 million of these charges will result in future cash outlays.
Guidance for First Quarter and Full Year 2013
The company estimates sales for the first quarter of 2013 in a range of $1.740 to $1.815 billion. The company estimates earnings on a GAAP basis in a range of $0.04 to $0.07 per share. Adjusted earnings, excluding acquisition- and restructuring-related charges; and amortization expense, are estimated in a range of $0.14 to $0.17 per share.
The company estimates sales for the full year 2013 in a range of $7.050 to $7.350 billion. The company estimates earnings on a GAAP basis in a range of $0.29 to $0.37 per share. Adjusted earnings, excluding divestiture-related net credits, acquisition- and restructuring-related charges; and amortization expense, are estimated in a range of $0.64 to $0.70 per share.

An explanation of the Company's use of these non-GAAP measures is provided at the end of this document.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Boston Scientific's consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share that exclude certain amounts and regional and divisional revenue growth rates that exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to adjusted net income is GAAP net income and the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to adjusted net income per share is GAAP net income per share. To calculate regional and divisional revenue growth rates that exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company converts actual net sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and prior period. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to this non-GAAP financial measure is growth rate percentages using net sales on a GAAP basis. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measure are included in the accompanying schedules.
Management uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in the Company's business, to assess its performance relative to its competitors, and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to further its understanding of the performance of the Company's operating segments. The adjustments excluded from the Company's non-GAAP financial measures are consistent with those excluded from its operating segments' measures of profit or loss. These adjustments are excluded from the segment measures that are reported to the Company's chief operating decision maker that are used to make operating decisions and assess performance.
The Company believes that presenting adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and regional and divisional revenue growth rates that exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, in addition to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides investors greater transparency to the information used by Boston Scientific management for its financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see Boston Scientific's results "through the eyes" of management. The Company further believes that providing this information assists Boston Scientific's investors in understanding the Company's operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.
The following is an explanation of each of the adjustments that management excluded as part of these non-GAAP financial measures for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the forecasted three month period ending March 31, 2013 and full year ending December 31, 2013, as well as reasons for excluding each of these individual items:
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share:
Goodwill and other intangible
asset impairment charges - These
amounts represent non-cash
write-downs of the Company's
goodwill balances attributable to
its (a) U.S. Cardiac Rhythm
Management reporting unit in the
third quarter of 2012, (b)
Europe/Middle East/Africa
(EMEA) reporting unit recorded in
the second quarter of 2012, and
(c) U.S. Cardiac Rhythm
Management reporting unit
recorded in the first quarter of
2011 and non-cash write-downs
of certain other intangible asset
balances. Management removes the
impact of non-cash goodwill and
other intangible asset impairment
charges from the Company's
operating performance to assist
in assessing the Company's cash
generated from operations.
Management believes this is a
critical metric for the Company
in measuring the Company's
ability to generate cash and
invest in the Company's growth.
Therefore, these charges are
excluded from management's
assessment of operating
performance and are also excluded
for purposes of calculating these
non-GAAP financial measures to
facilitate an evaluation of the
Company's current operating
performance and a comparison to
the Company's past operating
performance, particularly in
terms of liquidity.
---------------------------------
Acquisition-related charges
(credits) - These adjustments
consist of (a) acquisition-
related gains on previously held
investments, (b) contingent
consideration fair value
adjustments, (c) inventory step-
up adjustments, (d) due diligence
and other fees, exit costs and
other costs and credits related to
current and prior period
acquisitions, . The acquisition-
related gains on previously held
investments are non-recurring
benefits associated with
acquisitions completed in the
second quarter of 2012 and the
first quarter of 2011. The
contingent consideration
adjustments represent accounting
adjustments to state contingent
consideration liabilities at their
estimated fair value. These
adjustments can be highly variable
depending on the assessed
likelihood and amount of future
contingent consideration payments.
The inventory step-up adjustment
is a charge related to acquired
inventory directly attributable to
prior acquisitions and is not
indicative of the Company's on-
going operations, or on-going
cost of products sold. Due
diligence, exit costs and other
costs and credits include legal,
tax, severance and other expenses
and credits associated with prior
acquisitions that are not
representative of on-going
operations. Accordingly,
management excluded these amounts
for purposes of calculating these
non-GAAP financial measures to
facilitate an evaluation of the
Company's current operating
performance and a comparison to
the Company's past operating
performance.
----------------------------------
Divestiture-related net credits -
These amounts represent (a) gains
resulting from business
divestitures and (b) fees and
separation costs associated with
business divestitures. The Company
completed the sale of its
Neurovascular business in January
2011 and the resulting gains are
not indicative of future operating
performance and are not used by
management to assess operating
performance. Fees and separation
costs represent those associated
with the Company's divestiture of
its Neurovascular business and are
not representative of on-going
operations. Accordingly,
management excluded these amounts
for purposes of calculating these
non-GAAP financial measures to
facilitate an evaluation of the
Company's current operating
performance and a comparison to
the Company's past operating
performance.
----------------------------------
Restructuring and restructuring-
related costs - These
adjustments represent primarily
severance, costs to transfer
production lines from one
facility to another, and other
direct costs associated with the
Company's 2011 Restructuring
plan, 2010 Restructuring plan
and Plant Network Optimization
program. These expenses are
excluded by management in
assessing the Company's
operating performance, as well
as from the Company's operating
segments' measures of profit and
loss used for making operating
decisions and assessing
performance. Accordingly,
management excluded these
charges for purposes of
calculating these non-GAAP
financial measures to facilitate
an evaluation of the Company's
current operating performance
and a comparison to the
Company's past operating
performance.
--------------------------------
Litigation-related net charges -
These adjustments include certain
significant product liability and
other litigation-related charges
and credits. These amounts are
excluded by management in
assessing the Company's operating
performance, as well as from the
Company's operating segments'
measures of profit and loss used
for making operating decisions
and assessing performance.
Accordingly, management excluded
these amounts for purposes of
calculating these non-GAAP
financial measures to facilitate
an evaluation of the Company's
current operating performance and
a comparison to the Company's
past operating performance.
---------------------------------
Discrete tax items - These items
represent adjustments of certain
tax positions, which were
initially established in prior
periods as a result of
intangible asset impairment
charges; acquisition-,
divestiture-, restructuring-
or litigation-related charges
(credits). These adjustments do
not reflect expected on-going
operating results. Accordingly,
management excluded these
amounts for purposes of
calculating these non-GAAP
financial measures to facilitate
an evaluation of the Company's
current operating performance
and a comparison to the
Company's past operating
performance.
--------------------------------
Amortization expense -
Amortization expense is a non-
cash charge and does not impact
the Company's liquidity or
compliance with the covenants
included in its credit facility
agreement. Management removes the
impact of amortization from the
Company's operating performance to
assist in assessing the Company's
cash generated from operations.
Management believes this is a
critical metric for the Company in
measuring the Company's ability to
generate cash and invest in the
Company's growth. Therefore,
amortization expense is excluded
from management's assessment of
operating performance and is also
excluded from the measures
management uses to set employee
compensation. Accordingly,
management has excluded
amortization expense for purposes
of calculating these non-GAAP
financial measures to facilitate
an evaluation of the Company's
current operating performance,
particularly in terms of
liquidity.
----------------------------------
Regional and Divisional Revenue Growth Rates Excluding the Impact of Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Changes in foreign currency
exchange rates -The impact of
changes in foreign currency
exchange rates is highly
variable and difficult to
predict. Accordingly,
management excludes the impact
of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates for purposes of
reviewing regional and
divisional revenue growth rates
to facilitate an evaluation of
the Company's current operating
performance and a comparison to
the Company's past operating
performance.
-------------------------------
Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and regional and divisional revenue growth rates that exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and should not be considered in isolation from or as a replacement for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Further, other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than Boston Scientific does, which may limit the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
