Appendix: Non-GAAP Financial Information
Reimbursements for Out-of-Pocket Expenses
In the normal course of our business, we sometimes pay for certain out-of-pocket expenses that are reimbursed by our clients. Under GAAP,
these out-of-pocket expenses and associated reimbursements are reported as revenues and expenses in our Consolidated Statement of
Income. In this presentation, we do not believe it is informative to include the GAAP-required gross up of our revenues and expenses for
these pass-through reimbursed expenses. The amounts of reimbursed expenses and related revenues offset each other in our
Consolidated Statement of Income with no impact to our net income. Unless noted in this presentation, revenue and expense amounts
exclude reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses.
Net debt
Management believes that net debt is useful because it provides investors with an estimate of what the Company’s debt would be if all available
cash
was
used
to
pay
down
the
debt
of
the
Company.
The
measure
is
not
meant
to
imply
that
management
plans
to
use
all
available
cash
to pay down debt.
Deferred Revenues, net
Deferred
Revenues,
net
is
computed
as
the
sum
of
the
current
and
noncurrent
deferred
revenue
as
reported
on
our
consolidated
balance
sheet
less
the
sum
of
the
current
and
noncurrent
receivable
held
in
trust
to
be
released
to
us
as
payment
to
service
this
revenue.
The
current
portion
of
the
receivable
held
in
trust
is
reported
as
a
component
of
Accounts
receivable
and
the
noncurrent
portion
is
reported
as
a
component
of
Other
Noncurrent
Assets
in
our
consolidated
balance
sheet.
The
funds
represented
by
the
amount
of
the
receivable
held
in
trust are released to the Company over time to partially offset the costs of servicing the deferred revenue.  Management believes that
subtracting the receivable held in trust from deferred revenue provides investors with a snapshot of what the net cash costs will be to
service the deferred revenue in the future.
Free Cash Flow
Management believes free cash flow is useful to investors as it presents the amount of cash the Company has generated that can be used for
other purposes, including additional contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans, discretionary prepayments of
outstanding
borrowings
under
our
credit
agreement,
and
return
of
capital
to
shareholders,
among
other
purposes.
It
does
