Non-GAAP measures and other key financial information
Throughout this presentation, the term "adjusted earnings" means adjusted income (loss) from operations, and "adjusted earnings per share" or "adjusted EPS" means adjusted income (loss) from operations on a diluted per share basis.
Adjusted income (loss) from operations is a principal financial measure of profitability used by

Note Regarding Outlook
The Company's long-term outlooks include future share repurchases and anticipated dividends, but does not include the potential effects from other business combinations or divestitures that may occur after the date of this presentation.
Management is not able to provide a reconciliation of adjusted income from operations to shareholders' net income (loss) (including on a per share basis), adjusted revenues to total revenues, adjusted SG&A expense ratio to SG&A expense ratio, or adjusted effective tax rate to effective tax rate on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, certain components thereof including (i) future net realized investment results (from equity method investments with respect to adjusted revenues) and (ii) future special items. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. As such, any associated estimate and its impact on shareholders' net income and total revenues could vary materially.
Note Regarding Share Repurchases and Dividends
The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, and alternate uses of capital. The share repurchase program may be effected through open market purchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, or privately negotiated transactions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
