(a) The foreign currency adjusted information assumes a constant exchange rate between the periods being compared for purposes of currency translation into
U.S. dollars (i.e., assumes the foreign exchange rates used to determine results for the current year apply to the corresponding year-earlier period against which
such results are being compared). We believe the presentation of information on a foreign currency adjusted basis is helpful to investors by making it easier to
compare our performance in one period to that of another period without the variability caused by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
(b) Captions in the table above not designated as “proprietary” or “GNS” include both proprietary and GNS data.
(c) Included in the GNMS segment.
(d) Included in the USCS segment.
(e) Included in the GCS segment.
(f) Included in the ICS segment.
