Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
Neustar reports its results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).  In this section, Neustar
is
also
providing
certain
non-GAAP
financial
measures
and
reconciliations
to
the
most
directly
comparable
GAAP
measure.
Neustar
cautions investors that the non-GAAP financial measures presented are intended to supplement Neustar’s GAAP results and are not 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.  In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be
comparable with similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  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.

Amounts represent costs incurred by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Targus Information Corporation (TARGUSinfo).
(2)
Amounts represent costs incurred by the Company to repurchase 7.2 million shares of its Class A common stock through a modified “Dutch auction” tender offer which closed
on December 8, 2011.  These costs were not deductible for income tax purposes.
(3)
Adjustment reflects the estimated tax effect of adjustments for stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets and approximately $6.3 million of 
tax deductible TARGUSinfo acquisition-related costs based on the effective tax rate for income from continuing operations for the applicable period.
(4)
Quarterly amounts for the adjustment for provision for income taxes do not add to the full year amount due to differences in the effective tax rate for income from continuing
operations for the applicable quarters compared to effective annual tax rate.
(5)
Adjusted net income margin is a measure of adjusted net income from continuing operations as a percentage of revenue.
(6)
Quarterly amounts for adjusted net income from continuing operations per diluted share may not add to the full year amount due to differences in the adjustment for provision for
income taxes discussed in (4) above.
