In addition to net income determined in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures in
assessing our operating performance. We believe GAAP measures “As Adjusted” serve as appropriate measures
to be used in evaluating the performance of our business and we adjust incentive compensation metrics for our
executive management team for these same items. Furthermore, we believe our use of GAAP measures “As
Adjusted,” including Diluted Income per Share “As Adjusted,” provides an appropriate measure to use in
assessing our performance across periods, given that this measure provides an adjustment for certain significant
items, the magnitude of which may vary significantly from period to period and, thereby, have a disproportionate
effect on the earnings we report for a given period. Accordingly, we consider the aggregate impact of these items,
along with reported results, in reviewing and evaluating our financial performance. However, we do not, and do
not recommend that you solely use GAAP measures “As Adjusted” to assess our financial performance or to
formulate investment decisions, as the measures may exclude a number of important cash and non-cash recurring
items. The following tables set forth results of operations on a GAAP and “As Adjusted” basis, as well as the
impact each significant item had on specific income and expense amounts reported in our Consolidated
Statements of Income during fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007.
