(a)
In the United States, where a majority of our franchises operate, revenues from services included fees received from the related franchise offices of $3.2 for both the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. These fees are primarily based on revenues generated by the franchise offices, which were $155.1 and $164.4 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
(b)
Our consolidated revenues from services include fees received from our franchise offices of $5.3 and $5.4 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These fees are primarily based on revenues generated by the franchise offices, which were $234.7 and $253.9 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(c)
We evaluate segment performance based on operating unit profit ("OUP"), which is equal to segment revenues less cost of services and branch and national headquarters operating costs. This profit measure does not include goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges or amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, interest and other income and expense amounts or income taxes.

(d)
The French business tax was reported in provision for income taxes rather than in cost of services, in accordance with the current accounting guidance on income taxes. However, we view this tax as operational in nature. Accordingly, the financial information reviewed internally continues to include the French business tax within the OUP of our France reportable segment. Therefore, we have shown the amount of the French business tax separately to be able to reconcile to our earnings before income taxes.
