GAAP收益净值与调整后收益净值、调整后每股收益和调整后所得税调节表

调整后收益净值为非公认会计准则（GAAP）财务衡量指标，体现的是收益净值扣除某些一次性成本和收益后所得收益数值。该非GAAP准则财务衡量指标具有一定局限性，其内涵无标准化界定，所以，我们的定义可能与其他公司/或分析师使用的类似非GAAP财务衡量指标有所不同。因此，就我们公司的财务业绩与其他公司进行比较可能更为困难。我们认为这些指标将有助于投资者评估公司运营表现。然而，鉴于它们并非按GAPP进行计算的财务业绩或所得税费用衡量指标，因此应将其作为其他符合GAAP财务业绩衡量指标的补充加以考量，而非GAAP之替代指标。

¹Adjusted income tax benefit/(expense) reflects the Company's GAAP income tax benefit/(expense) adjusted for (a) taxable or deductible items affecting income tax benefit/(expense) that are unrelated to pre-tax (loss)/income in the period and (b) the tax effect of other taxable adjustments made to the Company's pre-tax income. The tax effect of the adjustments to pre-tax (loss)/income are calculated using the tax rate applicable for the jurisdiction within which each of the adjustments arose. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with a more consistent and stable basis for determining the impact of taxes on the Company's core continuing operations.

²Q319 YTD represents a contingency related to a legacy US regulatory matter. Q318 and Q318 YTD represent a prior year contractual dispute with a service provider.
