Non-GAAP Measures
23
Western
Union's
management
believes
the
non-GAAP
measures
presented
provide
meaningful
supplemental
information
regarding
our
operating
results
to
assist
management,
investors,
analysts,
and
others
in
understanding
our
financial
results
and
to
better
analyze
trends
in
our
underlying
business,
because
they
provide
consistency
and
comparability
to
prior
periods.
These
non-GAAP
measurements
include
revenue
change
constant
currency
adjusted,
operating
income
margin
and
earnings
per
share
excluding
restructuring
expenses,
effective
tax
rate
excluding

consumer-to-consumer

revenue

constant

2011
earnings

outlook
excluding
restructuring
expenses,
and
2011
operating
income
margin
outlook
excluding
restructuring
expenses.
A
non-GAAP
financial
measure
should
not
be
considered
in
isolation
or
as
a
substitute
for
the
most
comparable
GAAP
financial
measure.
A
non-GAAP
financial
measure
reflects
an
additional
way
of
viewing
aspects
of
our
operations
that,
when
viewed
with
our
GAAP
results
and
the
reconciliation
to
the
corresponding
GAAP
financial
measure,
provide
a
more
complete
understanding
of
our
business.
Users
of
the
financial
statements
are
encouraged
to
review
our
financial
statements
and
publicly-filed
reports
in
their
entirety
and
not
to
rely
on
any
single
financial
measure.
A
reconciliation
of
non-GAAP
measures
to
the
most
directly
comparable
GAAP
financial
measures
is
included
below.

Footnote explanations

a)
Represents
the
impact
from
the
fluctuation
in
exchange
rates
between
all
foreign
currency
denominated
amounts
and
the
United
States
dollar.
Constant
currency
results
exclude
any
benefit
or
loss
caused
by
foreign
exchange
fluctuations
between
foreign
currencies
and
the
United
States
dollar,
net
of
foreign
currency
hedges,
which
would
not
have
occurred
if
there
had
been
a
constant
exchange
rate.
In
addition,
to
compute
constant
currency
earnings
per
share,
the
Company
assumes
the
impact
of
fluctuations
in
foreign
currency
derivatives
not
designated
as
hedges
and
the
portion
of
fair
value
that
is
excluded
from
the
measure
of
effectiveness
for
those
contracts
designated
as
hedges
was
consistent
with
the
prior
year.
b)
Restructuring
and
related
expenses
consist
of
direct
and
incremental
expenses
including
the
impact
from
fluctuations
in
exchange
rates
associated
with
restructuring
and
related
activities,
consisting
of
severance,
outplacement
and
other
related
benefits;
facility
closure
and
migration
of
the
Company's
IT
infrastructure;
and
other
expenses
related
to
the
relocation
of
various
operations
to
new
or
existing
Company
facilities
and
third-party
providers,
including
hiring,
training,
relocation,
travel,
and
professional
fees.
Also
included
in
the
facility
closure
expenses
are
non-cash
expenses
related
to
fixed
asset
and
leasehold
improvement
write-offs
and
the
acceleration
of
depreciation
and
amortization.
Restructuring
and
related
expenses
were
not
allocated
to
the
segments.
