Our non-GAAP free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less investment in property and equipment. Investment in property and equipment fluctuates in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of investments in our facilities and equipment. We provide information on free cash flow to enable investors to assess our ability to generate cash without incurring additional external financings. This information is not a substitute for financial measures prepared under U.S. GAAP.
The supplemental information below identifies certain items included in operating cash flow that may affect comparability between periods.
Litigation settlement: Cost to settle litigation arising from proceedings outside the ordinary course of business. See "Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies" in Item 1 of our Quarterly Report filing on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2026 and prior filings for further information.
Legal fees: Legal and related fees arising from proceedings outside the ordinary course of business.
Restructuring: Restructuring fluctuates in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our restructuring activities.
Interest on convertible senior notes: In February 2020, we issued convertible senior notes (the "Notes"), due March 1, 2025, in a private placement. The Notes accrued interest at an annual rate of 0.75%, paid semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1. The outstanding Notes were repaid in their entirety at maturity.
Other: One-time cash flow items not part of our ongoing operations.
