- 21. Western Union's management believes the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results to assist management, investors, analysts, and others in understanding our financial results and to better analyze trends in our underlying business, because they provide consistency and comparability to prior periods. These non-GAAP financial measures include revenue change constant currency adjusted; operating income margin, excluding Joint Settlement Agreements and expenses related to the WU Way initiative; EBITDA margin; adjusted EBITDA margin, excluding Joint Settlement Agreements and expenses related to the WU Way initiative; diluted earnings per share, excluding Joint Settlement Agreements and expenses related to the WU Way initiative; effective tax rate, excluding Joint Settlement Agreements and expenses related to the WU Way initiative; Consumer-to-Consumer segment revenue change constant currency adjusted; Consumer-to-Consumer segment principal per transaction change constant currency adjusted; Consumer-to-Consumer segment cross-border principal change constant currency adjusted; Consumer-to-Consumer segment region and westernunion.com revenue change constant currency adjusted; Consumer-to-Business segment revenue change constant currency adjusted; Business Solutions segment revenue change constant currency adjusted; Business Solutions segment EBITDA margin; operating margin outlook excluding expenses related to the WU Way initiative; earnings per share outlook excluding expenses related to the WU Way initiative; effective tax rate outlook, excluding expenses related to the WU Way initiative; and cash flow from operating activities outlook, excluding expected payments for IRS Agreement, Joint Settlement Agreements and the WU Way initiative. Although the expenses related to the WU Way are specific to that initiative, the types of expenses related to the WU Way initiative are similar to expenses that the Company has previously incurred and can reasonably be expected to incur in the future. Constant currency results assume foreign revenues are translated from foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar, net of the effect of foreign currency hedges, at rates consistent with those in the prior year. A non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measure. A non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of our business. Users of the financial statements are encouraged to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included below. All adjusted year-over-year changes were calculated using prior year reported amounts. Amounts included below are in millions, unless indicated otherwise. Non-GAAP Measures 21
