However, in an effort to provideinvestors with additional perspective regarding the company's results asdetermined by GAAP, the company also discusses, in its earnings press releaseand/or earnings presentation materials, non-GAAP information which managementbelieves provides useful information to investors. Our management usessupplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage andevaluate our business and assess operational alternatives. These non-GAAPmeasures may include non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, free cash flow, andfree cash flow before pension contributions.Our non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or assubstitutes for results determined in accordance with GAAP and should be readonly in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared inaccordance with GAAP. (See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations attached.)(1) Constant currency - The company refers to growth rates at constant currencyor adjusting for currency so that the business results can be viewed withoutthe impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to facilitatecomparisons of the company's business performance from one period to another.Constant currency for revenue is calculated by retranslating current and priorperiod results at a consistent rate. This approach is based on the pricingcurrency for each country which is typically the functional currency.Generally, when the dollar either strengthens or weakens against othercurrencies, the growth at constant currency rates will be higher or lower,respectively, than growth reported at actual exchange rates.(2) Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share - The company recorded pension expenseof $17.9 million and $22.6 million during the third quarters of 2014 and 2013,respectively. In an effort to provide investors with a perspective on thecompany's earnings without these expenses, they are excluded from the non-GAAPdiluted earnings per share calculations.(3) Free cash flow - To better understand the trends in our business, webelieve that it is helpful to present free cash flow, which we define as cashflow from operations less capital expenditures. Management believes thismeasure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operatingactivities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment. Because of thesignificance of the company's pension funding obligations, free cash flowbefore pension funding is also provided.Conference CallUnisys will hold a conference call today at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time to discussits results.
