About Pro Forma Adjustments We provide pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share data as an alternative for understanding our operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may be materially different from pro forma measures used by other companies. We compute pro forma net income by adjusting GAAP net income with the impact of amortization of acquisition-related charges, the settlement of the company's 1997 shareholder class action lawsuit as well as the tax effect of these charges.
