This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements give our expectations or forecasts of future events and can generally be identified by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate,"

In addition to the results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or
GAAP, the Company may present financial measures that are non-GAAP measures, such as constant currency financial measures, pre-provision earnings before taxes. Similarly, core earnings and core EPS eliminate non-cash or non-operating items,
including, but not limited to, stock compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangibles, non-cash interest, gain (loss) on the sale of a business, strategic transaction costs, asset impairments, restructuring and other charges, and the
loss on extinguishment of debt. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of the Company’s reported GAAP results, provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s
performance and overall results of operations. Financial Measures 34
