Management believes that certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures provide investors a more complete understanding of Broadridge’s underlying operational results. These non-GAAP measures are indicators that management uses to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and prior reported results, and as a basis for planning and forecasting for future periods. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not a substitute for the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
