* The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted adjusted earnings per share to forecasted GAAP earnings per share because the Company cannot, without unreasonable effort, calculate certain reconciling items with confidence due to the variability, complexity, and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from forecasted earnings per share. These items include but are not limited to: severance costs; acquisition, separation, and integration costs; amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets; non-cash tax impacts of the Company’s international reorganization; and income taxes associated with these adjustments. The variability of these items could have a significant impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results.
