TABLE 7
Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
Operating Cash Flow is the primary basis used to measure the operational
strength and performance of our businesses. Free Cash Flow is an additional
performance measure used as an indicator of our ability to repay debt, make
investments and return capital to investors, principally through stock
repurchases. We also adjust certain historical data on a pro forma basis
following certain acquisitions or dispositions to enhance comparability.
Operating Cash Flow is defined as operating income before depreciation and
amortization, excluding impairment charges related to fixed and intangible
assets and gains or losses on sale of assets, if any. As such, it eliminates
the significant level of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that
results from the capital intensive nature of our businesses and intangible
assets recognized in business combinations, and is unaffected by our capital
structure or investment activities. Our management and Board of Directors use
this measure in evaluating our consolidated operating performance and the
operating performance of all of our operating segments. This metric is used to
allocate resources and capital to our operating segments and is a significant
performance measure in our annual incentive compensation programs. We believe
that Operating Cash Flow is also useful to investors as it is one of the bases
for comparing our operating performance with other companies in our
industries, although our measure of Operating Cash Flow may not be directly
comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
As Operating Cash Flow is the measure of our segment profit or loss, we
reconcile it to operating income, the most directly comparable financial
measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), in the business segment
footnote of our quarterly and annual financial statements. Therefore, we
believe our measure of Operating Cash Flow for our business segments is not a
"non-GAAP financial measure" as contemplated by Regulation G adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Consolidated Operating Cash Flow is a non-
GAAP financial measure.
Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as "Net
Cash Provided by Operating Activities From Continuing Operations" (as stated
in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures
and cash paid for intangible assets; increased by any payments related to
certain nonoperating items, net of estimated tax benefits (such as income
taxes on investment sales, and nonrecurring payments related to income tax and
litigation contingencies of acquired companies) and decreased by any proceeds
from the sale of trading securities. We believe that Free Cash Flow is also
useful to investors as it is one of the bases for comparing our performance
with other companies in our industries, although our measure of Free Cash Flow
may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
Pro forma data is used by management to evaluate performance when certain
acquisitions or dispositions occur. Historical data reflects results of
acquired businesses only after the acquisition dates while pro forma data
enhances comparability of financial information between periods by adjusting
the data as if the acquisitions or dispositions occurred at the beginning of
the prior year. Our pro forma data is only adjusted for the timing of
acquisitions or dispositions and does not include adjustments for costs
related to integration activities, cost savings or synergies that have been or
may be achieved by the combined businesses. We believe our pro forma data is
not a non-GAAP financial measure as contemplated by Regulation G.
In certain circumstances we also present data, as adjusted, in order to
enhance comparability between periods.
Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow should not be considered as
substitutes for operating income (loss), net income (loss), net cash provided
by operating activities or other measures of performance or liquidity reported
in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, in the opinion of management, our pro
forma data is not necessarily indicative of future results or what results
would have been had the acquired businesses been operated by us after the
assumed earlier date.
We provide reconciliations of Consolidated Operating Cash Flow in Table 1,
Free Cash Flow in Table 4, Pro Forma in Table 7-A and Adjusted Net Income in
Table 7-B.
