Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Three Months Ended December 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 in accordance with "GAAP" or
"reported" results). The Company also refers to and presents
certain additional non-GAAP financial measures, within the meaning
of Regulation G in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. These measures are: adjusted operating income (loss),
adjusted operating margin, adjusted income, net of tax and adjusted
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,
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 its 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 (loss). The following tables identify these
noteworthy items and reconcile adjusted operating income (loss) to
GAAP operating income (loss), on a consolidated and reportable
segment basis, for the three and twelve month periods ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020. The following tables also present
adjusted operating margin. For the three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020, adjusted operating margin is calculated
by dividing the sum of adjusted operating income and identified
intangible asset amortization by consolidated or segment adjusted
revenue.
