2Represents adjustments to cost of service to exclude acquisition intangible amortization expense from net income and the related income tax benefit.


We supplemented our reporting of income and the related earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by reporting income and the related earnings per share for the three months ended May 31, 2014 and 2013 on a "cash earnings" basis in this earnings release as a measure to help evaluate performance. We calculated income and earnings per share on a cash basis by excluding amounts related to the processing system intrusion, acquisition intangible amortization, acceleration of equity awards and other costs associated with the retirement of our former Chairman and CEO, a nonrecurring charge associated with our retained interest in Brazil, non-cash losses from the retirement of fixed assets, employee termination benefits and an adjustment to the costs associated with the debt refinancing.We exclude these charges in order to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are pertinent to the daily management of our operations. Our income and earnings per share reported on a cash earnings basis should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, income and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. Our measures of income and earnings per share on a cash earnings basis reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
