Forrester

use of pro forma financial results as the basis for setting targets for various compensation programs. Our pro forma presentation excludes the following, as well as their related tax effects:
Amortization of intangibles—we exclude the effect of the amortization of intangibles from our pro forma results in order to more
consistently present our ongoing results of operations.
Gains and losses from investments—we have consistently excluded both gains
and losses related to our investments in
non-marketable
securities and sales of marketable securities from our pro forma results in order to keep quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons consistent.
Stock-based compensation expense—we exclude stock-based compensation from our pro forma results in order to keep
quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons consistent.
Acquisition and integration costs—we exclude the direct costs of
acquiring and integrating companies from our pro forma results in order to keep quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons consistent.
Fair Value Adjustment of Pre-Acquisition Revenue—we exclude from adjusted revenues the non-cash fair value adjustment to pre-acquisition
deferred revenue from acquired companies, in order to more consistently present our ongoing results of operations.
However, these
measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as more fully discussed in our
financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
