Represents the impact from the fluctuation in exchange rates between all foreign currency denominated amounts and the United States dollar. Constant currency results exclude any
benefit or loss caused by foreign exchange fluctuations between foreign currencies and the United States dollar, net of foreign currency hedges, which would not have occurred if there
had been a constant exchange rate. We believe that this measure provides management and investors with information about operating results and trends that eliminates currency volatility
and provides greater clarity regarding, and increases the comparability of, our underlying results and trends.
Represents the impact from an accrual related to a potential resolution with a state regulator related to matters identified as part of the Joint Settlement Agreements. Discussions with the
state regulator are ongoing, and there can be no assurance that we will reach an agreement with the state regulator. The discussions could result in additional future accruals to reach a
settlement agreement with the state regulator. Additionally, if this matter is not settled and proceeds to civil litigation, the state regulator would seek to impose fines, damages, or other
regulatory consequences. Resolution of this matter could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. These expenses have
been excluded from segment operating income, as these expenses are excluded from the measurement of segment operating income provided to the chief operating decision maker for
purposes of assessing segment performance and decision making with respect to resource allocation. We believe that, by excluding the effects of significant charges associated with the
potential settlement of legal matters that can impact operating trends, management and investors are provided with a measure that increases the comparability of our underlying operating
Represents the impact from the settlement agreements related to (1) a Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the United States Department of Justice, and the United States Attorney's
Offices for the Eastern and Middle Districts of Pennsylvania, the Central District of California, and the Southern District of Florida, (2) a Stipulated Order for Permanent Injunction and Final
Judgment with the United States Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), (3) a Consent to the Assessment of Civil Money Penalty with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the United
States Department of Treasury (collectively, the "Joint Settlement Agreements"), to resolve the respective investigations of those agencies, as described in our Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on January 20, 2017, and related matters. Amounts related to these matters were recognized in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2016 and the
full year 2016 results. These expenses have been excluded from our segment operating income, as these expenses are excluded from the measurement of segment operating income
provided to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing segment performance and decision making with respect to resource allocation. Additionally, income tax benefit
was adjusted in the fourth quarter of 2016 to reflect the revised determination, based on final agreement terms. We believe that, by excluding the effects of significant charges associated
with the settlement of litigation that can impact operating trends. management and investors are provided with a measure that increases the comparability of our underlvina operatina
Represents the expenses incurred to transform our operating model, focusing on technology transformation, network productivity, customer and agent process optimization, and
organizational redesign to better drive efficiencies and growth initiatives ("WU Way business transformation expenses"). Amounts related to the WU Way business transformation expenses
were recognized beginning in the second quarter of 2016, and each subsequent quarter. These expenses have been excluded from our segment operating income, as these expenses are
excluded from the measurement of segment operating income provided to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing segment performance and decision making with
respect to resource allocation. We believe that, by excluding the effects of significant charges associated with the transformation of our operating model that can impact operating trends,
management and investors are provided with a measure that increases the comparability of our other underlying operating results. Although the expenses related to the WU Way are
specific to that initiative, the types of expenses related to the WU Way initiative are similar to expenses that the Company has previously incurred and can reasonably be expected to incur in
Represents the impact from a settlement agreement reached with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding the Equity Accelerator service of Paymap, Inc., a subsidiary of the
Company (the "Paymap Settlement Agreement"), included in full year 2015 results. We believe that, by excluding the effects of significant charges associated with the settlement of
litigation that can impact operating trends, management and investors are provided with a measure that increases the comparability of our underlying operating results. See below for
reconciliation of prior year operating income, excluding Paymap Settlement Agreement.
