Explanation of Non-GAAP MeasuresThis communication includes supplemental information related to organic revenue, free cash flow and several additional measures including expenses, margins and incomeper share, that exclude the effects of restructuring charges, intangible asset amortization, capital expenditures, transaction and integration costs and certain othernoteworthy items that affected results for the comparable periods. Organic revenue excludes from reported revenues the impact of foreign exchange, acquisitions,divestitures, transfers between business units, reimbursable expenses and unusual items. The impact of foreign exchange is determined by translating last year's revenue,expense or net income at this year's foreign exchange rates. Reconciliations are provided in the attached schedules. Supplemental organic revenue information andadditional measures that exclude the effects of the restructuring charges and certain other items do not affect net income or any other GAAP reported amounts. Free cashflow is cash flow from operating activity less capital expenditures. Management believes that these measures are important to make meaningful period-to-periodcomparisons and that this supplemental information is helpful to investors. They should be viewed in addition to, not in lieu of, the Company’s Consolidated FinancialStatements. Industry peers provide similar supplemental information regarding their performance, although they may not make identical adjustments.
