Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have presented supplemental non-GAAP financial measures as part of this
earnings release. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information
should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our
financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Core net income and core
earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial
measures exclude certain items, specifically amortization of intangible assets,
equity-based compensation, acquisition and integration-related expenses,
restructuring related costs, non-cash pension expenses, non-core charges
associated with our convertible notes, charges related to reserves established
or released against our deferred tax assets and other non-core or non-recurring
gains or losses that arise from time to time.
Non-core charges associated with our convertible notes consist of non-cash
interest expense. Acquisition and integration-related expenses include legal and
professional fees and other direct transaction costs associated with our
business and asset acquisitions, costs associated with integrating acquired
businesses, including costs for transitional employees or services, integration
related professional services costs and other incremental charges we incur as a
direct result of our acquisition and integration efforts. Periodically, such as
in periods that include significant foreign currency volatility, we present
certain metrics on a "constant currency" basis, to show the impact of period to
period results normalized for the impact of foreign currency rate changes. We
calculate constant currency information by translating prior period financial
results using current period foreign exchange rates.
We believe that these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures are useful to
investors because they allow for an evaluation of the company with a focus on
the performance of its core operations, including more meaningful comparisons of
financial results to historical periods and to the financial results of less
acquisitive peer and competitor companies. Our executive management team uses
these same non-GAAP financial measures internally to assess the ongoing
performance of the company. Additionally, the same non-GAAP information is used
for planning purposes, including the preparation of operating budgets and in
communications with our board of directors with respect to our core financial
performance. Since this information is not a GAAP measurement of financial
performance, there are material limitations to its usefulness on a stand-alone
basis, including the lack of comparability of this presentation to the GAAP
financial results of other companies. In computing diluted core earnings per
share, we exclude the effect of shares issuable under our convertible notes to
the extent that any such dilution would be offset by our note hedges; the note
hedges would be considered an anti-dilutive security under GAAP.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures Continued
A reconciliation of our GAAP results to our non-GAAP results for the three and
