Related to Non-GAAP Financial Information
The
Company
analyzes
its
performance
using
historical
and
forward-looking
non-GAAP
financial
measures
called
cash
earnings,
cash
earnings
per
diluted
share,
Adjusted
EBITDA,
adjusted
income
before
management
fees,
management
fees
(excluding
the
accelerated
vesting
of
certain
RSUs),
and
percentages
or
calculations
using
these
measures.
The
Company
believes
these
non-
GAAP
financial
measures
provide
additional
meaningful
methods
of
evaluating
certain
aspects
of
the
Company’s
operating
performance
from
period
to
period
on
a
basis
that
may
not
be
otherwise
apparent
under
GAAP.
Cash
earnings
is
defined
as
net
income
excluding
amortization
of
intangibles,
depreciation,
the
after-tax
impact
of
the
impairment
of
goodwill
and
intangible
assets,
the
after-tax
impact
of
non-cash
interest
expense
and
the
after-tax
impact
of
certain
non-recurring
items.
Cash
earnings
per
diluted
share
is
calculated
by
dividing
cash
earnings
by
the
number
of
weighted
average
diluted
shares
outstanding
for
the
period
indicated.
Cash
earnings
and
cash
earnings
per
diluted
share
should
not
be
viewed
as
substitutes
for
net
income
and
net
income
per
diluted
share,
respectively.
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
defined
as
net
income
excluding
income
tax
expense,
interest
income,
interest
expense,
gain
on
early
extinguishment
of
debt,
other,
net,
amortization
of
intangibles,
depreciation,
impairment
of
goodwill
and
intangible
assets,
(gain)
loss
on
sale
of
businesses,
the
pre-tax
impact
of
the
accelerated
vesting
of
certain
RSUs
and
any
change
in
estimated
contingent
consideration
amounts
recorded
in
accordance
with
purchase
accounting
that
have
been
subsequently
adjusted
and
recorded
in
the
consolidated
statement
of
operations.
Adjusted
EBITDA
should
not
be
viewed
as
a
substitute
for
net
income.
Adjusted
income
before
management
fees
is
defined
as
income
before
management
fees
excluding
corporate
income.
Adjusted
income
before
management
fees
should
not
be
viewed
as
a
substitute
for
income
from
operations.
Management
fees
(excluding
accelerated
vesting
of
certain
RSUs)
shows
management
fees
without
the
one-time
impact
of
the
accelerated
vesting
of
certain
RSUs
on
September
17,
2010.
Management
fees
(excluding
the
accelerated
vesting
of
certain
RSUs)
should
not
be
viewed
as
a
substitute
for
management
fees.
A
reconciliation
of
these
non-GAAP
financial
measures
to
their
GAAP
counterparts
for
the
periods
presented
herein
is
provided
in
the
Company’s
quarterly
financial
supplement
for
the
period
ended
June
