Description of Business Solera Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Solera”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a leading global provider of software and services to the automobile insurance claims processing industry. Our software and services help our customers: estimate the costs to repair damaged vehicles; determine pre-collision fair market values for vehicles damaged beyond repair; automate steps of the claims process; outsource steps of the claims process that insurance companies have historically performed internally; and monitor and manage their businesses through data reporting and analysis. We are active in over 60 countries and derive most of our revenues from our estimating and workflow software. Through our acquisitions of HPI, Ltd. (“HPI”) in December 2008 and AUTOonline GmbH In-formationssysteme (“AUTOonline”) in October 2009, we also provide used vehicle validation services in the United Kingdom and operate an eSalvage vehicle exchange platform in several European and Latin American countries as well as India. Through our acquisition of Explore Information Services, LLC (“Explore”) in June 2011, we also provide data and analytics services used by automotive property and casualty insurers in the United States (“U.S.”). Financial Statement Preparation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 29, 2011. Our operating results for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods. Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Our consolidated, majority-owned subsidiaries include AUTOonline, our subsidiaries located in Belgium, France, Portugal, Spain, and certain of our subsidiaries in Mexico. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are affected by estimates and assumptions which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for sales allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, fair value of derivatives, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, amortization of intangibles, restructurings, liabilities under defined benefit plans, stock-based compensation, redeemable noncontrolling interests and income taxes. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which expands the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements using level 3 inputs. We adopted ASU Topic No. 2011-04 in the third quarter of our fiscal year 2012. The disclosures required by ASU Topic No. 2011-04 are provided in Note 9. 6 New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU Topic No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which updates the presentation requirements related to comprehensive income. The total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income may be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-05 also eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, other than the provisions for which adoption was deferred indefinitely in accordance with ASU Topic No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, issued in December 2011. Upon our adoption of ASU Topic No. 2011-05 in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, we will select a comprehensive income presentation option under the standard. Other than the change in the presentation of comprehensive income, we do not anticipate that our adoption of ASU Topic No. 2011-05 will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU Topic No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amends current guidance on testing goodwill for impairment to provide entities with the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. If it is determined that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount based on qualitative factors, the two-step impairment test would be required. ASU Topic No. 2011-08 is effective for our annual goodwill impairment assessment for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
Our restricted common shares subject to repurchase and substantially all of our restricted stock units have the right to receive non-forfeitable dividends on an equal basis with common stock and therefore are considered participating securities that must be included in the calculation of net income per share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, basic and diluted net income per share is determined by calculating net income per share for common stock and participating securities based on the cash dividends paid and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Diluted net income per share also considers the dilutive effect of in-the-money stock options and unvested restricted stock units and performance share units that have the right to forfeitable dividends, calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount of assumed proceeds from unexercised stock options and unvested restricted stock units includes the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services not yet recognized, proceeds from the exercise of the options, and any excess income tax benefit or liability. 7 The computation of basic and diluted net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. per common share using the two-class method is as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):
The following securities that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future are not included in the determination of diluted net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. per common share (in thousands):
In connection with business combinations completed since fiscal year 2009, we may be required to make contingent cash payments through fiscal year 2014 subject to the achievement of certain financial performance and product-related targets. At March 31, 2012, the maximum aggregate amount of remaining contingent cash payments to be paid is $20.1 million, of which $3.3 million was accrued at the acquisition date and included in the purchase price, and the remaining $16.8 million will be charged to acquisition and related costs in the statement of income as earned. 8
Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):
Goodwill The following table summarizes the activity in goodwill for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 (in thousands):
The objectives of our restructuring initiatives and other exit and disposal activities have primarily been to eliminate waste and improve operational efficiencies. The liabilities associated with our restructuring initiatives and other exit and disposal activities are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and in other noncurrent liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We report all amounts incurred in connection with our restructuring initiatives and other exit and disposal activities in restructuring charges, asset impairments and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. We expect to incur additional restructuring charges in future years as we continue to undertake additional efforts to improve efficiencies in our business. 9 The following table summarizes the activity in the liabilities associated with our restructuring initiatives and other exit and disposal activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 (in thousands):
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, we initiated a restructuring plan in our EMEA segment (the “EMEA 2012 Restructuring Plan”). The primary objective of the EMEA 2012 Restructuring Plan is to better align the skill sets and capabilities of our German operations with our core mission and promote efficiency and profitable innovation within the region. Under the EMEA 2012 Restructuring Plan, we terminated approximately 30 employees and incurred employee termination benefits and related expenses of approximately €4.3 million. The restructuring charges incurred under the EMEA 2012 Restructuring Plan are expected to be paid through fiscal year 2013. In fiscal year 2011, we announced the relocation of our corporate headquarters and global executive team from San Diego, California to the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metroplex (the “Corporate Relocation Plan”). The primary objectives of the Corporate Relocation Plan are to provide us with access to a broader employee recruitment pool; improved labor arbitrage and other cost efficiencies; and improved mobility and access to our markets around the world. The relocation is expected to improve the effectiveness of our senior management team and our operations, and result in long-term cost savings. Under the Corporate Relocation Plan, we anticipate incurring expenses of approximately $2.5 million, primarily consisting of relocation benefits paid to current employees, facility relocation costs and termination benefits for corporate employees that are not relocating. The remaining restructuring charges anticipated to be incurred under the Corporate Relocation Plan of approximately $0.4 million are expected to be paid in fiscal year 2012. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, we reversed previously accrued restructuring charges of $0.1 million and incurred restructuring charges of $0.1 million, respectively, under the Corporate Relocation Plan. In prior fiscal years, we initiated restructuring plans in our Americas and EMEA segments (the “Prior Restructuring Plans”). Under the Prior Restructuring Plans, as of March 31, 2012, we have a remaining liability for employee termination benefits of $0.8 million, which we will pay through fiscal year 2013, and a remaining lease-related restructuring liability of $3.6 million, which we will pay through July 2013. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, we reversed previously accrued restructuring charges of $0.1 million, respectively, under the Prior Restructuring Plans. 10 The following table summarizes restructuring charges, asset impairments and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities for the periods indicated (in thousands):

The following table summarizes the activity in stockholders’ equity and redeemable noncontrolling interests for the periods indicated (in thousands):

In November 2011, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to a total of $180 million of our common stock through November 10, 2013. Share repurchases are made from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program does not require us to purchase any specific number or amount of shares, and the timing and amount of such purchases will be determined by management based upon market conditions and other factors. In addition, the program may be amended or terminated at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Through March 31, 2012, we have repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares for $76.4 million.
Comprehensive income consists of the following for the periods indicated (in thousands):
The majority of our assets and liabilities, including goodwill, intangible assets and long-term debt, are carried in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro, Pound Sterling, and Swiss franc. We translate our local currency financial results into U.S. dollars based on average exchange rates prevailing during a reporting period for our condensed consolidated statement of income and certain components of stockholders’ equity, and the exchange rate at the end of that period for the condensed consolidated balance sheet. These translations resulted in a foreign currency translation adjustment of $(39.2) million during the nine months ended March 31, 2012, which was caused by a strengthening in the value of the U.S. dollar versus certain foreign currencies, including the Euro, during the period. Generally, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 resulted in decreases to the U.S. dollar value of certain of our assets and liabilities from June 30, 2011 to March 31, 2012, as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, although the corresponding local currency balances may have increased or remain unchanged. 14
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities that require fair value measurements on a recurring basis and their respective input levels based on the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, primarily consist of bank deposits, money market funds and bank certificates of deposit. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are determined using quoted market prices for identical assets (Level 1 inputs). Accrued contingent purchase consideration. We accrue contingent future cash payments related to acquisitions completed after June 30, 2009 at fair value as of the acquisition date and re-measure the payments at fair value at each reporting date. We estimate the fair value of future contingent purchase consideration based on the weighted probabilities of potential future payments that would be earned upon achievement by the acquired business of certain financial performance, integration and product-related targets. We determined such probabilities using information as of the reporting date, including recent financial performance of the acquired businesses (Level 3 inputs). The net increase in accrued contingent purchase consideration during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to contingent purchase consideration related to current period business combinations, the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, adjustments to our estimate of the consideration to be earned and paid, and payments of previously accrued contingent consideration. Redeemable noncontrolling interests. We estimate the fair value of our redeemable noncontrolling interests through an income approach, utilizing a discounted cash flow model, and a market approach, which considers comparable companies and transactions, including transactions with the noncontrolling stockholders of our majority-owned subsidiaries. Under the income approach, the discounted cash flow model determines fair value based on the present value of projected cash flows over a specific projection period and a residual value related to future cash flows beyond the projection period. Both values are discounted to reflect the degree of risk inherent in an investment in the reporting unit and achieving the projected cash flows. A weighted average cost of capital of a market participant, which is an unobservable input, is used as the discount rate. The residual value is generally determined by applying a constant terminal growth rate to the estimated net cash flows at the end of the projection period. Alternatively, the present value of the residual value may be determined by applying a market multiple at the end of the projection period. 15 Under the market approach, fair value is determined based on multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for each reporting unit. For our calculation, we determined the multiples based on a selection of comparable companies and acquisition transactions, discounted for each reporting unit to reflect the relative size, diversification and risk of the reporting unit in comparison to the indexed companies and transactions. At March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, we estimated the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in one of our majority-owned subsidiaries based on recent stock transactions with the noncontrolling stockholders, a Level 2 input, and a discounted cash flow model, a Level 3 input. The discount rate used in the determination of the estimated fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests as of March 31, 2012 using the income approach ranged between 13.6% and 14.1%, reflecting a market participant's perspective as a noncontrolling shareholder in a privately-held subsidiary. The following table summarizes the activity in redeemable noncontrolling interests which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) (in thousands):
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis No assets or liabilities were required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012. Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of our senior secured credit facility approximates fair value due to the facility’s variable interest rate. Based on the original issue price of the senior unsecured notes that we issued in April 2012 (as described in Note 14), we believe that the fair value of the senior unsecured notes issued in June 2011 is approximately $462.2 million as compared to the carrying value at March 31, 2012 of $450.0 million. 16
Share-Based Award Activity The following table summarizes restricted common shares subject to repurchase, restricted stock unit, and performance share unit activity during the nine months ended March 31, 2012:
Each performance share unit represents the right to receive one share of our common stock based on our total stockholder return (“TSR”) and/or the achievement of certain financial performance targets during applicable performance periods. The number of shares reflected in the table above assumes the target number of performance share units will be earned. For the performance share units granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2012, approximately 70% of the value of the awards is subject to financial performance targets and approximately 30% of the value of the awards is subject to relative TSR targets. The following table summarizes stock option activity during the nine months ended March 31, 2012:
Of the stock options outstanding at March 31, 2012, approximately 1,870,000 are vested or expected to vest. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $2.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $2.7 million and $9.8 million, respectively. Valuation of Share-Based Awards We utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the grant date fair value of stock options with the following assumptions:
We based the risk-free interest rates on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the 17 time of the grant with remaining terms equivalent to the respective expected terms of the options. Because we have a limited history of stock option exercises, we calculated the expected award life as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. We determined the expected volatility based on a combination of implied market volatilities, our historical stock price volatility and other factors. The dividend yield is based on our quarterly dividend of $0.10 and $0.075 per share declared and paid during fiscal year 2012 and 2011, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock units and performance share units granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, excluding performance share units that are earned based on our relative TSR, was $52.99 and $46.24, respectively, determined based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant, which approximates the intrinsic value. To estimate the grant date fair value of performance share units that are earned based on our relative TSR, we utilized a Monte-Carlo simulation model which simulates a range of our possible future stock prices and certain peer companies and assumes that the performance share units will be earned at target. Based on the Monte-Carlo simulation model, the grant date fair value of performance share units granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 that are earned based on our relative TSR was $54.61 per share. Share-Based Compensation Expense Share-based compensation expense, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income, was $5.8 million and $13.9 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, and $5.6 million and $10.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. At March 31, 2012, the estimated total remaining unamortized share-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, was $37.5 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years. 18
Our foreign subsidiaries sponsor various defined benefit pension plans and individual defined benefit arrangements covering certain eligible employees. We base the benefits under these pension plans on years of service and compensation levels. Funding is limited to statutory requirements. The components of net pension expense were as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):
We recorded an income tax provision of $9.1 million and $33.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, and an income tax benefit of $(35.2) million and $(18.8) million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. The expected tax provision derived from applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to our income before tax provision for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 differed from our recorded income tax provision primarily due to higher earnings in jurisdictions with lower income tax rates which are indefinitely reinvested and the impact of discrete items recorded during the quarter. The income tax benefit recognized during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was the result of our release of $50.7 million of the $54.1 million valuation allowance on our U.S. net deferred tax assets. The release of the valuation allowance on our U.S. net deferred tax assets was the result of our sustained history of operating profitability and the determination by management that the future realization of the net deferred tax assets was judged to be more-likely-than-not. We exercise significant judgment relating to the projection of future taxable income to determine the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet. If judgments regarding recoverability of deferred tax assets change in future periods, we could be required to record valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in future periods. Gross unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011 were $8.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively. No significant interest and penalties have been accrued during fiscal year 2012. We do not anticipate that the amount of existing unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreements, the sellers in our business combinations have indemnified us for all tax liabilities related to the pre-acquisition periods. We are liable for any tax assessments for the post-acquisition periods for our U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.
We have aggregated our operating segments into two reportable segments: EMEA and Americas. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we announced the formation of the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Switzerland (“NGAS”) Region to leverage the operational and technological achievements and investments we made in the Highly Established Markets Initiative (“HEMI”) Region across our markets. As a result of the creation of the NGAS Region, we transferred our Netherlands operating segment from our Americas reportable segment to our EMEA reportable segment in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Accordingly, our EMEA reportable segment encompasses our operations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia, while our Americas reportable segment encompasses our operations in North, Central and South America. All prior period segment information has been restated to conform to the current presentation. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer. We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments based on revenues, income before provision for income taxes and adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure 19 that represents GAAP net income excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, asset impairments and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities, acquisition and related costs, litigation related expenses, and other (income) expense, net. We do not allocate certain costs to reportable segments, including costs related to our financing activities, business development and oversight, and tax, audit and other professional fees, to our reportable segments. Instead, we manage these costs at the Corporate level.

On May 8, 2012, we announced that the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors approved the payment of a cash dividend of $0.10 per share of outstanding common stock and per outstanding restricted stock unit. The Audit Committee has also approved a quarterly stock dividend equivalent of $0.10 per outstanding restricted stock unit granted to certain of our executive officers during fiscal years 2011 and 2012 in lieu of the cash dividend, which dividend equivalent will be paid to the restricted stock unit holders as the restricted stock unit vests. The dividends are payable on June 5, 2012 to stockholders and restricted stock unit holders of record at the close of business on May 22, 2012. On April 13, 2012, we announced the closing of a private offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the “2012 Senior Notes”). The 2012 Senior Notes accrue interest at 6.75% per annum, payable semi-annually, were issued at an original issue price of 102.72% plus accrued interest from December 15, 2011 and become due and payable on June 15, 2018. The 2012 Senior Notes were issued as additional notes pursuant to an indenture, dated June 14, 2011, under which we previously issued $450 million of 6.75% senior notes due 2018 (the “2011 Senior Notes”). The proceeds from the issuance of the 2012 Senior Notes were used to repay approximately $246.7 million of the outstanding term loans under our existing senior credit facility that did not elect to extend their loans, and we intend to use the remainder of any such net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including strategic initiatives such as future acquisitions, joint ventures, investments or other business development opportunities. On April 13, 2012, we also entered into an Amended and Restated First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”), which agreement amended and restated the Amended and Restated First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2007. The Amended Credit Facility consists of a U.S. term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $106.5 million and European term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately €142.8 million. The U.S. term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.0% and the European term loans bear interest at EUROLIBOR plus 3.0%. The maturity date for all of the term loans is May 16, 2017. 22 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.

All percentage amounts and ratios were calculated using the underlying data in whole dollars and may reflect rounding adjustments. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period. We describe the effects on our results that are attributed to the change in foreign currency exchange rates by measuring the incremental difference between translating the current and prior period results at the monthly average rates for the same period from the prior year. 23 Overview of the Business We are the leading global provider of software and services to the automobile insurance claims processing industry. At the core of our software and services are our proprietary databases, each of which has been adapted to our local markets. We also provide products and services that complement our insurance claims processing software and services and extend beyond our core offerings. These products and services include used vehicle validation, fraud detection software and services, disposition of salvage vehicles and data and analytics services used by automotive property and casualty insurers in the U.S. Our automobile insurance claims processing customers include insurance companies, collision repair facilities, independent assessors and automotive recyclers. We help our customers:
We serve over 75,000 customers and are active in over 60 countries across six continents with approximately 2,400 employees. Our customers include more than 1,500 automobile insurance companies, 36,500 collision repair facilities, 7,000 independent assessors and 30,000 automotive recyclers, auto dealers and others. We derive revenues from many of the world’s largest automobile insurance companies, including the ten largest automobile insurance companies in Europe and eight of the ten largest automobile insurance companies in North America. At the core of our software and services are our proprietary databases, which are localized to each geographical market we serve. Our insurance claims processing software and services are typically integrated into our customers’ systems, operations and processes, making it costly and time consuming to switch to another provider. This customer integration, along with our long-standing customer relationships, has contributed to our successful customer retention rate. Segments We have aggregated our operating segments into two reportable segments: EMEA and Americas. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we announced the formation of the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Switzerland (“NGAS”) Region to leverage the operational and technological achievements and investments we made in the Highly Established Markets Initiative (“HEMI”) Region across our markets. As a result of the creation of the NGAS Region, we transferred our Netherlands operating segment from our Americas reportable segment to our EMEA reportable segment in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Accordingly, our EMEA reportable segment encompasses our operations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia, while our Americas reportable segment encompasses our operations in North, Central and South America. All prior period segment information has been restated to conform to the current presentation. We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments based on revenues, income before provision for income taxes and adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, asset impairments and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities, acquisition and related costs, litigation related expenses and other (income) expense. We do not allocate certain costs to reportable segments, including costs related to our financing activities, business development and oversight, and tax, audit and other professional fees, to our reportable segments. Instead, we manage these costs at the Corporate level. The table below sets forth our revenues by reportable segment and as a percentage of our total revenues for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):
