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, constant currency information and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial
measures.
Core net income and core earnings per share exclude certain items, specifically
amortization of acquired intangible assets, goodwill impairment charges, stock-
based compensation, acquisition and integration-related expenses, restructuring
related costs, minimum pension liability adjustments, non-core charges
associated with our convertible notes and revolving credit facility, global
enterprise resource planning (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 and revolving credit
facility consist of the amortization of debt issuance and debt discount costs.
Acquisition and integration-related expenses include legal and professional fees
and other direct transaction costs associated with 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
acquisition and integration efforts. Global 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.
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.
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.
Adjusted EBITDA represents our GAAP net income or loss, adjusted for charges
related to interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and
other charges, as noted in the reconciliation that follows.
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.
