Appendix: Regulation G Disclosure
Amounts may not foot due to rounding.
(a) Non-GAAP adjustments in Q3-11 and Q2-11 reflect revenues from businesses acquired during Q2-11. Non-GAAP adjustments in Q4-10 result from the Company’s
52/53 week fiscal year. The Q4-10 Non-GAAP adjustments reflect the impact of the additional week in Q4-10 and are calculated by dividing contract revenues by 14
weeks. The result, representing one week of contract revenues, is subtracted from the GAAP-contract revenues to calculate 13 weeks of revenue for Q4-10 on a Non-
GAAP basis for comparison purposes. The Non-GAAP adjustments in Q3-09, Q2-09, and Q1-09 reflect storm restoration revenues recognized during those periods.
