調整後的淨收入和調整後的每股收益(Adjusted Net Income和Adjusted EPS)是非GAAP財務指標,透露我們的持續營運所產生的收益,我們認爲這個指標對投資者在進行與其他公司有意義的比較時有用,儘管這些指標可能與其他公司使用的類似指標不直接可比,並且期間與期間的比較。調整後的淨收入和調整後的每股收益定義爲除了一筆收購相關的無形資產攤銷費用,投資者可能需要單獨評估的投資(例如基於公正價值的投資)和影響期間對期間比較的某些事件、收益、損失或其他收費的淨收益和普通股股利。由於某些業務(如客戶關係)的商業組合適用了《財務會計準則》第805號話題(combinations),覈算認可的商譽帶來了相關的無形資產,所以對商譽進行攤銷的時機和規模會導致商譽攤銷受到重大影響。對於沒有商業組合的無形資產(如主題公園中使用的軟件和已收購的知識產權),他們的攤銷都包含在調整後的淨收入和調整後的每股收益的範圍內。
Constant currency and constant currency growth rates are calculated by comparing the results for each comparable prior year period adjusted to reflect the average exchange rates from each current year period presented rather than the actual exchange rates that were in effect during the respective periods.
Other Adjustments
We also present adjusted information (e.g., Adjusted Revenues), to exclude the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges. This adjusted information is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe, among other things, that the adjusted information may help investors evaluate our ongoing operations and can assist in making meaningful period-over-period comparisons.
Pro Forma Information
Pro forma information is used by management to evaluate performance when certain acquisitions or dispositions occur. Historical information reflects results of acquired businesses only after the acquisition dates while pro forma information enhances comparability of financial information between periods by adjusting the information as if the acquisitions or dispositions occurred at the beginning of a preceding year. Our pro forma information is adjusted for the timing of acquisitions or dispositions, the effects of acquisition accounting and the elimination of costs and expenses directly related to the transaction, but 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. Pro forma information is not a non-GAAP financial measure under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Our pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of future results or what our results would have been had the acquired businesses been operated by us during the pro forma period.
