Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations also exclude equity-based compensation, amortization expenses, non-recurring tax adjustments and related interest, restructuring costs, excise and sales tax expense and related interest, asset impairments, net legal settlements and related expenses, acquisition-related costs, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses and the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to deferred revenue.
