For internal purposes, we exclude the impact of foreign exchange, revenues attributed to acquisitions closed within the preceding 12 months, and revenue from our regulated returns and recall management services when we evaluate organic revenue growth.

This table and the Company’s internal use of non-GAAP adjusted revenues are not intended to imply, and should not be interpreted as implying, that non-GAAP adjusted revenues are a better measure of internal growth or the Company’s performance, as compared to GAAP revenues.

In accordance with GAAP, reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) include the after-tax impact of the items identified. For internal purposes, including the determination of management compensation, the Company excludes these items from results when evaluating operating performance.

 

(3b)

For purposes of determining non-GAAP EPS, the Company (1) adds back the mandatory convertible preferred stock dividend; and (2) deducts the EPS impact of the items identified above and the mandatory convertible preferred stock dividend using the “if-converted” method.  Under the “if-converted” method used in determining our non-GAAP EPS, the items identified above and the preferred dividend applicable to the convertible preferred stock is added back to net income attributable to Stericycle, the numerator. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred shares are assumed to be converted to common shares at the beginning of the period or, if later, at the time of issuance, and the resulting common shares are included in the denominator.

 

(3c)

Beginning the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company has started to exclude amortization expense from non-GAAP EPS. For comparable reporting, the Company’s previously reported 2015 results are adjusted to reflect the change.  

This table and the Company’s internal use of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are not intended to imply, and should not be interpreted as implying, that non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is a better measure of operating performance than GAAP earnings per diluted share.
