In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), CBOE Holdings has disclosed certain non-GAAP measures of operating performance. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP measures, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP measures provided in this presentation include core operating expenses, core operating expenses excluding continuing stock-based compensation, adjusted operating revenues, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income allocated to common stockholders and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in our core operations and a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by management are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with an alternative method for assessing our financial condition and operating results. Core operating expenses is the company's operating expenses after excluding (i) depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) accelerated stock-based compensation expense, (iii) volume-based expenses and (iv) other unusual or one-time expenses. Specific quantifications of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the company's core operating expenses guidance are not available. The company believes that there is a degree of volatility with respect to certain of its GAAP measures, primarily related to volume-based expenses, which include royalty fees and order routing fees, the items that would be required to reconcile to GAAP operating expenses, which preclude the company from providing accurate guidance on certain forward-looking GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations. The company believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the range of the company's core operating expenses would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for the reasons identified above.
