Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the restructuring and impairment charges is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2011 financialperformance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that excluding these items allows for a more meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company's financial performance. Management believes that these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management is evaluating the Company's financial performance. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(1) In 2010, restructuring costs related primarily to severance and lease termination costs for branches in the EMEA and APAC Commercial segments that were in the process of closure at the end of 2009, as well as severance costs related to the corporate headquarters. In 2011, restructuring costs relate primarily to revisions of the estimated lease termination costs for EMEA Commercial branches that closed in prior years.
(2) Asset impairment charges relate to the write-off of incomplete software projects in Europe.
