These measures also adjust for expenses related to covered litigation that will be funded by the litigation escrow account. These items have an impact on our financial results but are either non-recurring or have no operating cash impact. - Recognizing that we have a very complex equity structure incorporating multiple classes and series of common stock, the Company has also presented adjusted diluted class A earnings per share calculated below based on adjusted net income and the weighted average number of diluted class A shares outstanding in the periods presented (adjusted in the prior periods presented). This non-GAAP financial measure has been presented to illustrate our per share results reflecting our capital structure after the redemption of all class C (series II) common stock and a portion of class C (series III) common stock, which the Company redeemed inOctober 2008 . Management believes this non-GAAP presentation provides the reader with a clearer understanding of our per share results by excluding these redeemed shares and allocating adjusted net income only to permanent equity.
