"Consistent with what we have said over the past year, our strategic intent is to drive growth through wireless, modular and software solutions. We will continue to focus on these areas going forward, as well as on meeting our commitments as we did this quarter," Nersesian added.
Keysight's first-quarter 2015 revenues are expected to be in the range of $675 million to $715 million. First-quarter non-GAAP operating margin is expected to be in the range of 14 to 17 percent

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbors created therein. The forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to, information regarding Keysight's separation of the electronic measurement business; future revenues, earnings and profitability; the future demand for the company's products and services; and customer expectations. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause Keysight's results to differ materially from management's current expectations. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unforeseen changes in the strength of our customers' businesses; unforeseen changes in the demand for current and new products, technologies, and services; customer purchasing decisions and timing, and the risk that we are not able to realize the savings expected from integration and restructuring activities.

Non-GAAP Measures
Keysight uses a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business, for making operating decisions and for forecasting and planning for future periods. The definition of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others, and such non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Keysight generally uses non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's comparisons to historic operating results, to competitors' operating results and to guidance provided to investors. In addition, Keysight believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provide greater transparency to investors of information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.
(1) Non-GAAP operating margin exclude the impacts of acquisition and integration costs, pre- separation costs, transformational initiatives, asset impairment charges, restructuring-related costs, and non-cash intangibles amortization. A reconciliation between GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP operating margin is set forth on the attached tables.
With respect to guidance, most of these excluded amounts pertain to events that have not yet occurred and are not currently possible to estimate with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Therefore, no reconciliation to GAAP amounts has been provided.
