Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As used in this press release, the term adjusted refers to the operating performance measures that exclude the Medi-Cal charge, restructuring and integration charges, transaction costs related to acquisitions, CEO succession costs and the estimated impact of severe weather. Adjusted measures are presented because management believes those measures are useful adjuncts to reported results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Adjusted measures should not be considered as an alternative to the corresponding measures determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

2) Adjusted amounts for operating income, operating income as a percentage of net revenues, income from continuing operations, and diluted earnings per common share represent the Company's results before the impact of the Medi-Cal charge, restructuring and integration charges, transaction costs related to the acquisitions of Athena Diagnostics and Celera Corporation, CEO succession costs, and the estimated impact of severe weather. Adjusted measures are presented because management believes those measures are useful adjuncts to reported results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States when comparing results of operations from period to period.

4) Other operating expense, net includes special charges, and miscellaneous income and expense items related to operating activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, other operating expense, net included a pre-tax charge of $236 million associated with the Medi-Cal settlement.
5) Other (expense) income, net represents miscellaneous income and expense items related to non-operating activities, such as gains and losses associated with investments and other non-operating assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, other (expense) income, net includes gains of $3.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, associated with investments held in trusts pursuant to our supplemental deferred compensation plans.
6) In January 2012, our Board of Directors authorized $1.0 billion of additional share repurchases, bringing the total available under share repurchase authorizations at that time to $1.1 billion. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 882 thousand shares of its common stock at an average price of $56.70 per share for $50 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 1.7 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $57.83 per share for $100 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company reissued 0.7 million shares and 2.2 million shares, respectively, for employee benefit plans. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $965 million remaining under share repurchase authorizations.
7) The outlook for adjusted diluted earnings per common share and adjusted operating income as a percentage of net revenues represent management's estimates for the full year 2012 before the impact of the restructuring and integration charges and CEO succession costs. These measures are presented because management believes they are useful adjuncts to the corresponding amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States since they are meaningful to evaluate the Company's ongoing operating performance and are on a basis consistent with previous estimates of diluted earnings per common share and operating income as a percentage of net revenues. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share and adjusted operating income as a percentage of net revenues are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative to the corresponding amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The following table reconciles our 2012 outlook, on an adjusted basis, to the corresponding amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The outlook, on an adjusted basis, excludes the impact of the restructuring and integration charges and CEO succession costs. |
