Comparison of Adjusted Information to U.S. GAAP Information: The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Company financial results are presented on an as-reported basis, and on a pro forma basis as if the Mobility spin-off had closed on January 1, 2023, for periods including fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2026; the pro forma basis agrees to the Company's unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information presented in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The Company also refers to and presents certain additional non-GAAP financial measures, within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These measures are: adjusted (as recast) segment revenue; organic revenue; organic constant currency revenue; pro forma organic revenue; pro forma organic revenue constant currency basis; adjusted net income; pro forma non-GAAP adjusted net income; adjusted diluted EPS; pro forma non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS; adjusted operating profit and margin; pro forma non-GAAP adjusted operating profit and margin; adjusted expenses; pro forma non-GAAP adjusted expenses; adjusted corporate unallocated expense; pro forma non-GAAP adjusted corporate unallocated expense; adjusted deal-related amortization; adjusted interest expense, net; pro forma non-GAAP adjusted interest expense, net; adjusted provision for income taxes; pro forma non-GAAP adjusted provision for income taxes; adjusted effective tax rate; pro forma non-GAAP adjusted effective tax rate; adjusted equity in income on unconsolidated subsidiaries; free cash flow; and adjusted free cash flow, excluding certain items.

The Company has included reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP on Exhibits 6, 8, and 9. The Company is not able to provide reconciliations of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort.

The Company's non-GAAP measures include adjustments that reflect how management views our businesses. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that, in the case of non-GAAP financial measures other than free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, excluding certain items, enables investors to better compare the Company's performance across periods, and management also uses these measures internally to assess the operating performance of its business, to assess performance for employee compensation purposes and to decide how to allocate resources. The Company believes that the presentation of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, excluding certain items allows investors to evaluate the cash generated from our underlying operations in a manner similar to the method used by management and that such measures are useful in evaluating the cash available to us to prepay debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments, and repurchase stock. However, investors should not consider any of these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information that the Company reports.
