Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting in the United States GAAP include the standards conventions and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions in the preparation of financial statements  In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP we have provided certain non-GAAP financial measures including adjusted revenue adjusted operating income adjusted segment income adjusted cost of revenue and adjusted operating expenses

We believe non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the underlying fundamentals and true operations of our business  The non-GAAP financial measures presented eliminate one-time deconversion fees and acquisitions divestitures and gain/loss all of which management believes are not indicative of the Company's operating performance Such adjustments give investors further insight into our performance For these reasons management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its assessment and management of the Company's performance

Any non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to related GAAP measures are included

COVID-19 Impact and Response

Since its outbreak in early 2020 COVID-19 has rapidly spread and continues to represent a public health concern The health safety and well-being of our employees and customers is of paramount importance to us In March 2020 we established an internal task force composed of executive officers and other members of management to frequently assess updates to the COVID-19 situation and recommend Company actions We offered remote working as a recommended option to employees whose job duties allowed them to work off-site and we suspended all non-essential business travel This company-wide recommendation extended until July 1 2021 at which point we began transition to a return to our facilities and normalization of travel activities Individual decisions on returning to the office were manager-coordinated and based on conversations with specific teams and departments  A large number of our employees requested to remain fully remote or participate in a hybrid approach where they would split their time between remote and in-person working We have not required employees who return to our facilities to receive vaccinations but we have provided information on vaccine providers as well as hosted on-site COVID-19 vaccination clinics at several of our facilities for our employees and their families On August 3 2021 we reimplemented our company-wide recommendation for remote work and are encouraging a cautious approach to business travel based on the spread of the Delta variant and increased infection rates For those employees who are at our facilities we have introduced enhanced sanitation procedures and we require face masks for both vaccinated and unvaccinated employees As of August 13 2021 the majority of our employees were continuing to work remotely either full time or in a hybrid capacity

Customers

We work closely with our customers who are scheduled for on-site visits to ensure their needs are met while taking necessary safety precautions when our employees are required to be at a customer site Delays of customer system installations due to COVID-19 have been limited and we have developed processes to handle remote installations when available We expect these processes to provide flexibility and value both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic Even though a substantial portion of our workforce has worked remotely during the outbreak and business travel has been curtailed we have not yet experienced significant disruption to our operations We believe our technological capabilities are well positioned to allow our employees to work remotely without materially impacting our business

Financial impact

Despite the changes and restrictions caused by COVID-19 the overall financial and operational impact on our business has been limited and our liquidity balance sheet and business trends remain strong We experienced positive operating cash flows during fiscal 2021 and we do not expect that to change in the near term However we are unable to accurately predict the future impact of COVID-19 due to a number of uncertainties including further government actions; the duration severity and recurrence of the outbreak including the onset of variants of the virus; the speed and effectiveness of vaccine and treatment developments; the speed of economic recovery; the potential impact to our customers vendors and employees; and how the potential impact might affect future customer services processing and installation-related revenue and processes and efficiencies within the Company directly or indirectly impacting financial results We will continue to monitor COVID-19 and its possible impact on the Company and to take steps necessary to protect the health and safety of our employees and customers
