NOTES TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
For additional details, please see today’s press release and Safe Harbor Statement.
For additional details, please see today’s press release and Safe Harbor Statement.
These slides use non-GAAP financial measures. West believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful
information to management and investors regarding certain business trends relating to West’s financial condition, results of operations and
the Company’s overall performance. Our executive management team uses adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted EPS to evaluate
the performance of the Company in terms of profitability and to compare operating results to prior periods. Adjusted operating profit is also
used to evaluate changes in the operating results of each segment and to allocate resources to our segments. The Company believes that
the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and
trends in comparing its financial measures with other companies.

the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and

Our executive management does not consider such non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to such measures determined in
accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of such non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income
that are required by GAAP to be recorded. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by
management about which items are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, our
executive management presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its GAAP results. We urge investors and potential
investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, and not rely on any
single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

In calculating adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted EPS, we exclude the impact of items that are not considered representative of

is included below.

The following is a description of the items excluded from adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted EPS:
•Restructuring and related charges: During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010, we incurred restructuring,
impairment and related charges of $14.7 million and $15.9 million, respectively. The majority of these costs related to the restructuring plan

• Acquisition-related contingencies: During the third quarter of 2010, we reduced our liability for contingent consideration
associated with our 2009 Eris™ acquisition by $1.8 million to reflect our revised assessment of fair value, as affected by a
reduction in the probability of attaining certain milestones over the next four years.

• Brazil Tax Amnesty: During September 2009, we enrolled in a tax amnesty program in Brazil which entitled us to a reduction in
certain tax-related penalties, interest and other costs in exchange for our irrevocable declaration of all specified tax obligations.
The fourth quarter 2009 pre-tax charge of $1.9 million was the result of an adjustment to the original amnesty benefit to reflect the
impact of a newly-issued ordinance. The full-year impact was a pre-tax gain of $2.0 million, or $0.4 million after tax.

• Discrete tax items: During the fourth quarter of 2010, we recognized $1.1 million in net discrete tax benefits, the majority of
which resulted from the expiration of open tax audit periods in various tax jurisdictions. During the three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2009, we recognized discrete tax benefits of $4.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively. During 2009, we recognized
tax credits of $2.4 million resulting from the identification of additional qualified R&D activities related to prior years, and other tax
provision benefits of $0.9 million primarily from the reversal of valuation allowances on prior-year tax losses carried forward. We
also recognized a $2.8 million net tax provision benefit, principally resulting from the completion of a tax audit and the expiration of
open tax periods in various tax jurisdictions.
