Our forward - looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we will not update these forward - looking statements unless th e securities laws require us to do so. With regard to these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward - looking events discussed in this document may not occur, and we caution you against unduly relying on these forward - looking statements.
wtwco.com WTW Non - GAAP Measures 3 © 2022 WTW. All rights reserved. In order to assist readers of our consolidated financial statements in understanding the core operating results that WTW’s ma nag ement uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning, we present the following non - GAAP measures: (1) Constant Currency Change, (2) Organic Change, (3) Adjusted Operating Income/Margin, (4) Adjusted EBITDA/Margin, (5) Adjusted Net Income, (6) Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, (7) Adjusted Income Before Taxes, (8) Adjusted Income Taxes/Tax Rate and (9) Free Cash Flow. The Company believes that these measures are relevant and provide useful information widely used by analysts, investors and o the r interested parties in our industry to provide a baseline for evaluating and comparing our operating performance, and in the case of free cash flow, our liquidity results. Reconciliations of these measures are included in the accompanying appendix of these earning release supplemental materials. The Company does not reconcile its forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, due to v ariability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible; and because not all of the information, such as foreign currency impacts necessary for a quantit ati ve reconciliation of these forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is available to the Company without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to a ddr ess the probable significance of the unavailable information. The Company provides non - GAAP financial measures that it believes will be achieved, however it cannot accurately predict all of the components of the adjusted calculations an d t he U.S. GAAP measures may be materially different than the non - GAAP measures.
