In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), reported earnings per share include the after-tax impact, using our effective tax rate of 39%, of the items identifiable in this table. For internal purposes, Hub excludes these items from results when evaluating operating performance. This table and Hub’s internal use of non-GAAP earnings per share are not intended to imply, and should not be interpreted as implying, that non-GAAP earnings per share is a better measure of performance than GAAP earnings per share.
