Reconciliation of Segment Contribution
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
Neustar
presents
certain
non-GAAP
financial
data.
To
place
this
data
in
an
appropriate
context,
above
is
a
reconciliation
of
our
segments’
revenue
and
contribution
to
consolidated income from continuing operations for the periods presented. The reconciliation allows investors to appropriately consider each non-GAAP financial measure.
These non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be considered a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the
financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. Management believes that these measures enhance
investors’
understanding of the company’s financial performance and the comparability of the company’s operating results to prior periods, as well as against the performance of
other companies. However, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable with similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and should not be
considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
