Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Includes Revenue Standard Impact
Three Months Ended March 31
(Millions) (Unaudited)
Overview
The Company reports its financial results in accordance
with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (referred to in this release as "GAAP" or "reported"
results). The Company also refers to and presents
below certain additional non-GAAP financial
measures, within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. These measures are:adjusted operating income
(loss),adjusted operating margin, adjusted
income, net of taxandadjusted earnings per share (EPS). The Company has included
reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable
financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP in the following tables.
The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures
provide useful supplemental information that
enables investors to better compare the Company's
performance across periods. Management also
uses these measures internally to assess the operating
performance of its businesses, to assess
performance for employee compensation purposes and to decide how to allocate resources.
However, investors should not consider these non-GAAP
measures in isolation from, or as a substitute
for, the financial information that the Company reports in accordance with GAAP. The
Company's non-GAAP measures include adjustments that
reflect how management views our businesses,
and may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Operating Margin
Adjusted operating income (loss)is calculated by excluding the impact of certain
noteworthy items from the Company's GAAP operating income or loss. The
following tables identify these noteworthy items and reconcileadjusted operating
income (loss)to GAAP operating income or loss, on a consolidated
and segment basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The following
tables also present adjusted operating margin. For the three months
ended March 31, 2018,adjusted operating marginis calculated by dividingadjusted
operating incomeby consolidated or segment GAAP revenue.
