Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We supplement our reporting of revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations and earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by using “adjusted revenue,” “adjusted internal revenue growth,” “adjusted operating income,” “adjusted income from continuing operations,” “adjusted earnings per share,” “adjusted operating margin,” and “free cash flow” in this earnings release. Management believes that adjustments for certain non-cash or other items and the exclusion of certain pass-through revenue and expenses enhance our shareholders’ ability to evaluate our performance because such items do not reflect how we manage our operations. Therefore, we exclude these items from GAAP revenue, operating income, operating margin, income from continuing operations and earnings per share to calculate these non-GAAP measures.

Examples of non-cash or other items may include, but are not limited to, non-cash intangible asset amortization expense associated with acquisitions, severance costs, merger costs, certain integration expenses related to acquisitions, certain costs associated with the achievement of the company’s operational effectiveness objectives and certain discrete tax benefits. We exclude these items to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are pertinent to the management of our operations, and we use this information to allocate resources to our various businesses.

Free cash flow and adjusted internal revenue growth are non-GAAP financial measures and are described on page 11. We believe free cash flow is useful to measure the funds generated in a given period that are available for strategic capital decisions. We believe adjusted internal revenue growth is useful because it presents revenue growth excluding all acquired revenue and postage reimbursements in our Output Solutions business. We believe this supplemental information enhances our shareholders’ ability to evaluate and understand our core business performance.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, revenue, operating income, operating margin, income from continuing operations and earnings per share or any other amount determined in accordance with GAAP.

The 2012 adjustment represents a charge of $4 million of interest expense associated with hedge ineffectiveness of interest rate swap agreements settled in September 2012 in conjunction with the company’s bond offering. The 2011 adjustment represents costs associated with the early retirement of debt.

The tax impact for all periods presented is calculated using a tax rate of approximately 36 percent, which approximates the company’s annual effective tax rate exclusive of any tax benefit adjustments.

3 

The tax benefit in 2012 represents certain discrete income tax benefits related to prior years recognized for GAAP purposes in the second quarter of 2012 that have been excluded from adjusted earnings per share. The tax benefit in 2011 relates to the resolution of a purchase accounting income tax reserve.

See page 4 for disclosures related to the use of non-GAAP financial information. Earnings per share is calculated using actual, unrounded amounts.

Adjusted internal revenue growth is measured as the increase in adjusted revenue (see page 8), excluding acquired revenue for the current period, divided by adjusted revenue from the prior year period. Acquired revenue was $11 million (all in the Payments segment) for the third quarter of 2012, reflecting the partial period during which the company owned the acquired company, and was $41 million ($40 million in the Payments segment and $1 million in the Financial segment) for the first nine months of 2012.

Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and excludes items which management believes may not be indicative of the future free cash flow of the company.

3 

Free cash flow excludes the net change in settlement assets and obligations as well as tax-effected severance, merger and integration payments. Free cash flow in 2011 excludes a dividend from an unconsolidated affiliate and a cash tax benefit on early debt extinguishment.
