 31 Non-GAAP Reconciliation Footnote (1) Operating earnings (“Operating Earnings”) is defined by the Company as net income attributable to AmTrust common
stockholders less realized gain (loss) on investments, non-cash amortization of
intangible assets, non-cash interest on convertible senior notes,
loss on extinguishment of debt, foreign currency transaction gain (loss), gain resulting from decrease in ownership percentage of equity investment in unconsolidated subsidiary (related party), acquisition gain, and
gain on sale, and should not be considered an alternative to net income. Operating
diluted earnings per share is defined by the Company as Operating
Earnings divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the period and should not be considered an alternative to diluted earnings per share. Operating return on common equity is defined by the
Company as Operating Earnings divided by the average common equity for the period and
should not be considered an alternative to return on common equity.
The Company believes Operating Earnings, operating diluted earnings per share and operating return on common equity are more relevant measures of the Company's profitability because Operating
Earnings, operating diluted earnings per share and operating return on common equity
contain the components of net income upon which the Company's management
has the most influence and excludes factors outside management's direct
control and non-recurring items. The Company's measure of Operating Earnings, operating diluted earnings per share and operating return on common equity, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies. (2) The Company calculated the income tax effect of certain adjustments using the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate
of 35%. Specifically, gross realized gain on investments is predominantly U.S. sourced
and, therefore, is subject to tax at 35%. In addition, the gain resulting
from a decrease in ownership percentage of equity investment in unconsolidated subsidiary (related party) is U.S. sourced income subject to tax at 35%. Gain on sale is U.S. sourced income subject to tax
at 35%. Acquisition gain is both U.S. and foreign sourced gain that is ultimately
subject to tax at 35%. The Company does not report non-cash
amortization of intangible assets, non-cash impairment of goodwill, non-cash interest on convertible senior notes, loss on extinguishment of debt, or foreign currency transaction gain/(loss) net of tax. |
