      omissions, breaches of fiduciary duty or other claims against us in our 
      capacity as a broker or investment advisor; 
 
   -- increased regulatory activity and scrutiny by regulatory or law 
      enforcement authorities;

Overview 
 
 
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States (referred to in this 
release as in accordance with "GAAP" or "reported" results). The Company also 
refers to and presents certain additional non-GAAP financial measures, within 
the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These 
measures are: adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating margin, 
adjusted income, net of tax and adjusted earnings per share (EPS). The Company 
has included reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most 
directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP in 
the following tables. 
 
The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful 
supplemental information that enables investors to better compare the 
Company's performance across periods. Management also uses these measures 
internally to assess the operating performance of its businesses, to assess 
performance for employee compensation purposes, and to decide how to allocate 
resources. However, investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in 
isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information that the 
Company reports in accordance with GAAP. The Company's non-GAAP measures 
include adjustments that reflect how management views its businesses, and may 
differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. 
 
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Operating Margin 
 
Adjusted operating income (loss) is calculated by excluding the impact of 
certain noteworthy items from the Company's GAAP operating income (loss). The 
following tables identify these noteworthy items and reconcile adjusted 
operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income (loss), on a consolidated and 
reportable segment basis, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 
2021 and 2020. The following tables also present adjusted operating margin. 
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, adjusted 
operating margin is calculated by dividing the sum of adjusted operating 
income and identified intangible asset amortization by consolidated or segment 
adjusted revenue.

Adjusted income, net of tax is calculated as the Company's GAAP income from 
continuing operations, adjusted to reflect the after tax impact of the 
operating income adjustments in the preceding tables and the additional items 
listed below. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing the Company's adjusted 
income, net of tax, by average number of shares outstanding-diluted for the 
relevant period. The following tables reconcile adjusted income, net of tax to 
GAAP income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS to GAAP EPS for the 
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
