Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 4, 2004, Exelixis, Inc. issued a press release announcing financial
results for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. A copy of such press release is
furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this report, including the exhibit hereto, shall not be
deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or
Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
information contained herein and in the accompanying exhibit shall not be
incorporated by reference into any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission made by Exelixis, whether made before or after the date hereof,
regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
The information furnished in this report, including the exhibit hereto, shall
not be deemed to constitute an admission that such information or exhibit is
required to be furnished by Regulation FD or that the information or exhibit in
this report contains material information that is not otherwise publicly
available.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Exelixis provides certain historical net loss and future operating expense
information in the press release to illustrate the company's results from
operations excluding restructuring charges and certain non-cash charges,
including (a) stock-based compensation expense and (b) amortization of purchased
intangibles related to business combinations. Exelixis' management believes that
the presentation of these non-GAAP results is a useful measure of the company's
results from operations, excluding the restructuring charges and non-cash
charges, which, in management's view, are not necessarily reflective of, or
directly attributable to operations. These non-GAAP results are not in
accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles
and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
