* Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company's non-GAAP revenue excludes the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to deferred revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations and projections of these items also exclude equity-based compensation, amortization expenses, non-recurring tax adjustments and related interest, restructuring costs, excise and sales tax expense and related interest, asset impairments, net legal settlements and related expenses, acquisition-related costs, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses and the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to deferred revenue. Normalized free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations before payments for restructuring costs and cash paid for acquisition-related costs less capital expenditures. Management uses these measures internally as a means of analyzing the company's current and future financial performance and identifying trends in our financial condition and results of operations. We have provided this information to investors to assist in meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of ongoing core operations. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from comparable or similarly titled measures provided by other companies and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

** Constant Currency

These constant currency adjustments convert current period results using prior period (Q4-13 or FY-2013) average exchange rates calculated in the same manner as in footnote 5 to the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures table.

     (1)  Management believes that presenting non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP operating income, adjusted EBITDA, non-
           GAAP net income from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations provide
           useful information regarding underlying trends in the company's continuing operations.  Management
           expects  equity-based compensation and amortization expenses to be recurring costs and presents non-
           GAAP operating income, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations and non-GAAP
           diluted EPS from continuing operations to exclude these non-cash items, as well as non-recurring items
           that are unrelated to the company's ongoing operations, including the impact of purchase accounting
           adjustments related to deferred revenue, non-recurring tax adjustments and related interest, excise and
           sales tax expense, excise and sales tax interest, restructuring costs, asset impairments, net legal
           settlements and related expenses, acquisition-related costs and foreign exchange transaction gains and
           losses. These non-cash and non-recurring items are presented net of taxes for non-GAAP net income from
           continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations.


     (2)  Business combination accounting principles require us to write-down the deferred revenue associated with
           software licenses and related support contracts assumed in our acquisitions. The revenue for these
           support contracts is deferred and typically recognized over a one-year period, so our GAAP revenue for
           the one-year period after an acquisition does not reflect the full amount of revenue that would have
           been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value. The non-GAAP
           adjustment eliminates the effect of the deferred revenue write-down.  We believe this adjustment to the
           revenue from these contracts is useful to investors as an additional means to reflect revenue trends of
           our business.
