About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Amortization of convertible note discount. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the amortization of the imputed discount on our convertible notes. Under
GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion are required to be bifurcated into separate liability (debt) and equity (conversion
option) components in a manner that reflects the issuer's assumed non-convertible debt borrowing rate. For GAAP purposes, we are required to recognize imputed
interest expense on the difference between our assumed non-convertible debt borrowing rate and the coupon rate on our $400.0 million of 1.50% convertible notes. This
difference is excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that this expense is based upon subjective assumptions and does not reflect the cash
cost of our convertible debt.

Losses and expenses on early retirements or modifications of debt. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures losses on early retirements of debt
attributable to refinancing or repaying our debt, and expenses incurred to modify debt terms, because we believe they are not reflective of our ongoing operations.
Acquisition expenses, net. In connection with acquisition activity (including with respect to acquisitions that are not consummated), we incur expenses, including legal,
accounting, and other professional fees, integration costs, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations, and other costs. Integration costs may
consist of information technology expenses as systems are integrated across the combined entity, consulting expenses, marketing expenses, and professional fees, as
well as non-cash charges to write-off or impair the value of redundant assets. We exclude these expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures because they are
unpredictable, can vary based on the size and complexity of each transaction, and are unrelated to our continuing operations or to the continuing operations of the
acquired businesses.
Restructuring expenses. We exclude restructuring expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures, which include employee termination costs, facility exit costs,
certain professional fees, asset impairment charges, and other costs directly associated with resource realignments incurred in reaction to changing strategies or
business conditions. All of these costs can vary significantly in amount and frequency based on the nature of the actions as well as the changing needs of our business
and we believe that excluding them provides easier comparability of pre- and post-restructuring operating results.
Impairment charges and other adjustments. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures asset impairment charges (other than those associated with
restructuring or acquisition activity), rent expense for redundant facilities, gains or losses on sales of property, gains or losses on settlements of certain legal matters,
and certain professional fees unrelated to our ongoing operations, including $1.9 million of fees and expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2019 related to a
shareholder proxy contest, all of which are unusual in nature and can vary significantly in amount and frequency.
