These non-GAAP financial measures contain limitations and should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, disclosures made in accordance with GAAP.

EXPLANATORY NOTES TO RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP ITEMS 28 Note A: Non-GAAP net revenues. Non-GAAP net revenues exclude the fair value decrease (step-down) in deferred revenue at acquisition. Note B: Non-GAAP net revenues at constant currency. Verifone determines non-GAAP net revenues at constant currency by recomputing non-GAAP net revenues denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars in the current fiscal period using average exchange rates for that particular currency during the corresponding financial period of the prior year. Verifone uses this non-GAAP measure to evaluate performance on a comparable basis excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Note C: Merger and Acquisition Related. Verifone adjusts certain revenues and expenses for items that are the result of merger and acquisitions. Acquisition related adjustments include the amortization of intangible assets, fixed asset fair value adjustments, contingent consideration adjustments, incremental costs associated with acquisitions, acquisition integration expenses and changes in estimate on contingencies that existed at the time of acquisition. Note D: Stock-Based Compensation. Our non-GAAP financial measures eliminate the effect of expense for stock-based compensation. Note E: Other Charges and Income. Verifone excludes certain revenue, expenses and other income (expense) that are the result of unique or unplanned events, such as litigation settlement and loss contingency expense, certain costs incurred in connection with senior executive management changes, certain personnel and outside professional service fees incurred on initiatives to transform, streamline and centralize our global operations, and restructure and impairment charges related to certain exit activities initiated as part of our global transformation initiatives and gain or loss on financial transactions, such as the accelerated amortization of capitalized debt issuance costs due to the early repayment of debt. In addition, income taxes are adjusted for the tax effect of the adjusting items related to our non-GAAP financial measures and to reflect our estimate of cash taxes on a non-GAAP basis. Under GAAP our Income tax provision (benefit) as a percentage of Income (loss) before income taxes was 12.6% for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2015, 7.6% for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2015, (25.5)% for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2014, 9.3% for the nine months ended July 31, 2015 and 2.7% for the nine months ended July 31, 2014. For non-GAAP purposes, we used a 14.5% rate for the fiscal quarters ended July 31, 2015, April 30, 2015 and July 31, 2014 and the nine months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014. Note F: Non-GAAP diluted shares. Diluted non-GAAP weighted average shares include additional shares that are dilutive for non-GAAP computations of earnings per share in periods when we have a non-GAAP net income and a GAAP basis net loss. Note G: Free Cash Flow. Verifone determines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
