To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on
a GAAP basis, Advent uses non-GAAP measures of continuing operations'
operating income, net income and net income per share, which are adjusted
to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses we believe appropriate
to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and
also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period
GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and
investors a more complete understanding of Advent's underlying operational
results and trends and our marketplace performance. In addition, these
adjusted non-GAAP results are among the information management uses as a
basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation
of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on
a GAAP basis, Advent uses non-GAAP measures of continuing operations'
operating income, net income and net income per share, which are adjusted
to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses we believe appropriate
to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and
also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period
GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and
investors a more complete understanding of Advent's underlying operational
results and trends and our marketplace performance. In addition, these
adjusted non-GAAP results are among the information management uses as a
basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation
of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
