1 Represents adjustments to revenues for gross-up related payments (included in operating expenses) associated with certain wholesale lines of business to reflect economic benefits to the Company and, in fiscal 2015, a revenue adjustment for select U.K. customer payments related to a vendor outage.

2 Fiscal 2015 reflects acquisition-related amortization expense of $0.67, share-based compensation expense of $0.19 and non-recurring items of $0.06, including a revenue adjustment for select U.K. customer payments related to a vendor outage and expense adjustments for charges related to employee termination benefits, non-cash losses from the retirement of property and equipment, a transaction-related tax associated with the acquisition of Realex, certain business tax assessments in the U.S. for prior periods, a gain on the sale of our Russia ATM business, reversal of previously recorded interest expense associated with a previously uncertain tax position and the related income tax effects of each.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Global Payments supplemented revenues, income and earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by providing income and related earnings per share on a "cash earnings" basis and Adjusted Net Revenue in this earnings release to assist with evaluating performance. In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP measures to focus on the factors we believe are pertinent to the daily management of our operations. Management believes Adjusted Net Revenue more closely reflects the economic benefits to the Company's core business and allows for better comparisons with industry peers. Management uses these non-GAAP metrics, together with other metrics, to set goals for and measure the performance of its business and to determine incentive compensation. Our Adjusted Net Revenue and income and earnings per share reported on a cash earnings basis should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, revenues, income and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. Our measures of Adjusted Net Revenue, income and earnings per share on a cash earnings basis reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted Net Revenue excludes gross-up related payments associated with certain wholesale lines of business to reflect economic benefits to the Company. On a GAAP basis, these payments are presented gross in both revenues and operating expenses.

Income and the related earnings per share on a cash earnings basis exclude acquisition-related amortization expense, share-based compensation and certain other items specific to each reporting period as more fully described in the accompanying reconciliations in Schedule 6, Schedule 7 and Schedule 9. The tax rate used in determining the net income impact of cash earnings adjustments is either the jurisdictional statutory rate in effect at the time of the adjustment or the jurisdictional expected annual effective tax rate for the period, depending on the nature and timing of the adjustment.
