Headwinds

- Potential future net effect of foreign currency exchange gains and losses
- Certain discrete tax items
- Any other impacts that may be identified as pro forma adjustments in calculating the non-GAAP measures
- The estimated impact of foreign currency gains and losses cannot be reasonably estimated on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to non-operating foreign currency exchange gains and losses and the related tax effects of such gains and losses
