Non-GAAP Metrics

Organic revenue includes all sources of revenue growth in a given year, except for all revenue associated with companies acquired for a period of one year following the date of the acquisition. The Company's adjusted net income, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, net foreign currency gains and losses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, legal settlement, stock based compensation, other costs, gains and losses on divestitures, impairment charges, debt restructuring and debt issuance cost amortization, similar adjustments attributable to our non-controlling interests and certain tax related items. We are unable to reconcile our adjusted net income long range target to the comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because of the difficulty in predicting the amounts to be adjusted, including, but not limited to, foreign currency exchange rates, unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, acquisition and divestiture related items and adjustments to the redemption value of a non-controlling interest, which may have a significant impact on our financial results. For 2021, the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in our latest earnings press release dated February 10, 2022 available on our website.
