Definitions Related to Certain Components of Non-GAAP Measures • “Acquisition/Integration Costs” means the acquisition and integration costs (e.g., costs associated with regulatory filings; costs for third-party professional services, including legal, accounting, consulting, financial advisory and due diligence; costs and fees associated with entry into the bridge financing commitment; costs of integrating or streamlining processes and information technology systems, including data migration and system integration; costs associated with optimizing vendor agreements and leased office space, including exit costs related to location combinations; and employment-related costs, including severance payments, costs associated with the transition of certain legacy compensation programs, retention-related compensation expenses, and incentive payments) arising out of our acquisition of Accession and acquisitions previously completed by Accession, which are not considered to be normal, recurring or part of ongoing operations. • “Foreign Currency Translation” means the period-over-period impact of foreign currency translation, which is calculated by applying current-year foreign exchange rates to the various functional currencies in our business to our reporting currency of U.S. dollars for the same period in the prior year. 32 • “(Gain)/loss on disposal” is a caption on our consolidated statements of income which reflects net proceeds received as compared to the net book value related to sales of books of business and other divestiture transactions. • “Mark-to-market of escrow liability” is a caption on our consolidated statements of income which reflects the non-cash change in the fair value associated with certain shares of the Company’s common stock held in escrow.
The amounts recorded as earn-out payables are based upon the terms of the purchase agreements and the present value of expected future payments to be made to the sellers resulting from estimated future operating results of the acquired entities over a period subsequent to the acquisition date, typically one to three years.
If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss would be recorded for the amount of carrying value in excess of fair value. 34 We typically use a combination of market and income approach methodologies to estimate the fair value of our reporting units.
