Acquisition-related costs in SG&A expenses relate to adjustments to fair-value of contingent consideration related to certain acquisitions. As adjusted earnings are not a measure of performance under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.
