  • Unable to predict with reasonable certainty certain items that may affect such measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort.
  • Expected non-GAAP organic revenue, operating margin, tax rate and EPS ranges exclude primarily the future impact of restructuring actions, unusual gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses and purchase accounting fair value adjustments.
  • Reconciling items are uncertain and depend on various factors outside of management's control.
  • These items could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, future period operating margins, EPS and tax rate calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
