To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we provide additional measures of income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations per diluted common share and net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted to exclude certain costs, charges, expenses and losses or other amounts.
