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, core
earnings per share and constant currency information are non-GAAP financial
measures.
Core net income and core earnings per share 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, global ERP
system implementation costs 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. Global enterprise
resource planning (ERP) system implementation costs relate to direct and
incremental costs incurred in connection with our implementation of a new,
global ERP solution and the related technology infrastructure.
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.
