GAAP (we refer to these as “non-GAAP financial measures”).
Organic Growth
−Removed: Our non-GAAP financial measure of organic growth represents revenue growth excluding revenues from acquisitions within the preceding 12 months.

Although these charges may increase as we complete more acquisitions, we believe we will be growing the value of our intangible assets such as customer relationships.

Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure of income and does not include the effects of preferred stock dividends, interest and taxes.
