Xerox Reports Fourth-Quarter 2010 Earnings

Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) announced today fourth-quarter 2010 results that include adjusted earnings per share of 29 cents and $1.3 billion in operating cash flow. Adjusted EPS excludes 17 cents primarily related to restructuring charges and amortization of intangibles, resulting in GAAP EPS of 12 cents.

"We started 2010 with the acquisition of Affiliated Computer Services, which transformed our company into the world’s leading enterprise for business process and document management. And, we closed the year with results that reflect the benefits of our expanded services and competitive technology as well as the strength of our business model,” said Ursula Burns, Xerox chairman and chief executive officer. "In 2010, we grew adjusted earnings, increased revenue and generated $2.7 billion in operating cash – delivering across the board on our commitments and creating greater value for shareholders.”

Fourth-quarter revenue of nearly $6 billion was up 42 percent including a one point negative impact from currency. On a pro-forma basis, with ACS in the company’s results, total revenue grew 2 percent or 3 percent in constant currency. Revenue from technology, representing the sale of document systems, supplies, technical service and financing of products, was flat or up one percent in constant currency. Total install activity for Xerox equipment was up 6 percent, reflecting solid demand across all product segments. Revenue from services was up 5 percent on a pro-forma basis or 6 percent in constant currency, and represents the company’s business process, IT and document outsourcing offerings.

"Continued growth in our services business was driven by an 11 percent increase in revenue from our BPO offerings and 5 percent revenue growth from IT outsourcing. As important, signings for services were up 13 percent in the quarter,” added Burns. "In our technology business, increased distribution and the launch of 21 products last year led to an overall 6 percent equipment sales growth in the quarter. Combined, strength in services and the sale of more Xerox technology fuels our annuity and positions us well for continued growth this year and for the long term.”

Fourth-quarter gross margin was 33.6 percent, and selling, administrative and general expenses were 20 percent of revenue. On a pro-forma basis, operating margin of 10.4 percent was up one point from fourth-quarter 2009. For the full year, gross margin was 34.4 percent and SAG expenses were 21.2 percent of revenue. Pro-forma operating margin was 9.6 percent, up one point from full-year 2009.

The $1.3 billion in operating cash flow in the fourth quarter contributed to $2.7 billion in cash flow for the full year. From the time of the ACS acquisition in February 2010, Xerox reduced total debt by $1.9 billion to $8.6 billion. Xerox ended the year with a cash balance of $1.2 billion.

The company’s full-year 2010 net income was $606 million. Total revenue was $21.6 billion, up from $15.2 billion in 2009.

The company expects first-quarter 2011 GAAP earnings of 16 to 18 cents per share. First-quarter adjusted EPS is expected to be 20 to 22 cents per share.

Full-year 2011 GAAP earnings are expected to be 90 to 95 cents per share. Full-year adjusted earnings are expected to be $1.05 to $1.10 per share. The company also expects $1 billion to $1.2 billion in available cash for 2011.

Fourth quarter 2010 total revenues increased 42% compared to the fourth quarter 2009. Our consolidated 2010 results include the results of Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. ("ACS”). On a pro-forma3 basis, fourth quarter 2010 total revenue grew 2%. Currency had a 1-percentage point negative impact on total revenues in the quarter. Total revenues included the following:

  • 56% increase in annuity revenue1, or a 1% increase on a pro-forma3 basis. This included a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency. Annuity revenue is comprised of the following:
    • Service, outsourcing and rentals revenue of $3,749 million increased 83%or 3% on a pro-forma3 basis, with a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency. Growth of 11% in Business Process Outsourcing and 5% in Information Technology Outsourcing revenue more than offset a decline in pages. Digital pages declined 2% from fourth quarter 2009, an improvement from the 4% third quarter year over year decline. Color pages grew 11% from fourth quarter 2009, an improvement from the 9% third quarter year over year growth.
    • Supplies, paper and other sales of $867 million declined by 3% on a pro-forma3 basis, with a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency driven by a decline in paper sales.
  • 4% increase in equipment sales revenue, including a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency. Growth in install activity was partially offset by the impact of product mix and price declines.
  • 3% increase in color revenue2, including a 3-percentage point negative impact from currency, reflects:
    • 2% increase in color annuity revenue, including a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency. The increase was driven by higher color page volumes.
    • 6% increase in color equipment sales revenue, including a 3-percentage point negative impact from currency. The increase was driven by strong installs of new products across all product categories.

Notes for Financial Review:

(1) Annuity revenue is largely a function of the equipment placed at customer locations, the volume of prints and copies that our customers make on that equipment, the mix of color pages, as well as revenue associated from outsourcing services. Annuity revenue = Service, outsourcing and rentals + Supplies, paper and other sales + Finance income.

(2) Color revenues represent a subset of total revenues and exclude Global Imaging Systems ("GIS”) revenues.

(3) Growth on a pro-forma basis reflects the inclusion of ACS’s adjusted results from October 1st through December 31st in 2009. See the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for an explanation of this non-GAAP financial measure.

Fourth quarter 2010 Technology revenue of $2,845 million was flat in comparison to fourth quarter 2009, including a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency. Revenue results included the following:

  • 3% increase in equipment sales revenue with a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency driven primarily by growth across all color product categories.
  • 2% decrease in post sale revenue with a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency driven by flat supplies revenue and an improving trend in the decline of pages.
  • Technology revenue mix is 21% entry, 56% mid-range and 23% high-end.

Segment Profit

Fourth quarter 2010 Technology profit of $332 million increased $31 million from fourth quarter 2009. Lower cost and expense reflecting restructuring savings and lower bad debt expense more than offset the gross profit decline which was caused by the unfavorable year-over-year impact of transaction currency and mix.

Installs

Entry

  • 25% increase in installs of A4 black-and-white multifunction devices driven by growth in indirect channels.
  • 27% increase in installs of A4 color multifunction devices driven by strong growth across all regions.
  • 4% increase in installs of color printers.

Mid-Range

  • 2% decrease in installs of mid-range black-and-white devices reflecting continued migration to color.
  • 22% increase in installs of mid-range color devices primarily driven by demand for new products, such as the Xerox Color 550/560, WorkCentre® 7545/7556 and WorkCentre® 7120/ 7700, and the continued strong demand for the ColorQubeTM.

High-End

  • 11% decrease in installs of high-end black-and-white systems driven by declines across most product areas.
  • 19% increase in installs of high-end color systems reflecting strong demand for the recently launched Xerox Color 800 and 1000.

Note: Install activity percentages include installations for Document Outsourcing and the Xerox-branded products shipped to GIS. "Entry”, "Mid-Range” and "High-End” are defined in Appendix II.

Services

Our Services segment comprises three service offerings: Business Process Outsourcing ("BPO”), Information Technology Outsourcing ("ITO”) and Document Outsourcing ("DO”).

Revenue

Fourth quarter 2010 Services total revenue of $2,711 million increased 192%, or 5% on a pro-forma1 basis, and included a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency.

  • BPO delivered pro-forma1 revenue growth of 11% and represented 54% of total Services revenue. BPO growth was driven by healthcare services, customer care, transportation solutions, healthcare payer services and 2010 acquisitions.
  • ITO revenue increased 5%on a pro-forma basis1 and represented 13% of total Services revenue. ITO growth was driven by new business in commercial ITO.
  • DO revenue decreased 2%, including a 2-percentage point negative currency impact, and represented 33% of total Services revenue. This represents an improving trend from the third quarter 2010.

Segment Profit

Fourth quarter 2010 Services profit of $324 million increased $243 million, or $29 million on a pro-forma1 basis, from fourth quarter 2009 driven primarily by revenue growth and lower cost and expense from restructuring.

Metrics

Pipeline

Our BPO and ITO sales pipeline, including synergy opportunities, grew 25% over the fourth quarter 2009. This sales pipeline includes the Total Contract Value ("TCV”) of new business opportunities that potentially could be contracted within the next six months and excludes business opportunities with estimated annual recurring revenue in excess of $100 million. The DO sales pipeline grew approximately 17% over the fourth quarter 2009. The DO sales pipeline includes all active deals with $10 million or greater in TCV.

Signings

Signings are defined as estimated future revenues from contracts signed during the period, including renewals of existing contracts. Services signings were an estimated $3.6 billion in TCV for the quarter. Combined with the previous three quarters, the trailing twelve month growth was 13% as compared to the comparable prior year period.

  • BPO signings of $2.3 billion TCV
  • DO signings of $1.0 billion TCV
  • ITO signings of $0.3 billion TCV

Signings growth was driven by strong signings in our BPO and DO businesses. Signings were primarily driven by the following areas:

  • Customer Care
  • Transportation Services
  • Enterprise Print Services in both US and Europe

Note: TCV is estimated total revenue for future contracts for pipeline or signed contracts for signings as applicable.

Other

Revenue

Fourth quarter 2010 Other revenue of $420 million decreased 3%, including a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency primarily due to a decline in paper sales. Paper comprised approximately 56% of the fourth quarter 2010 Other segment revenue.

Segment Profit

Fourth quarter 2010 Other loss of $66 million improved $13 million from fourth quarter 2009, driven primarily by higher gross profit reflecting an increase in gross margins as a result of the mix of revenues.

Fourth quarter 2010 total gross margin of 33.6% decreased 6.3-percentage points, or 1.2-percentage points on a pro-forma1 basis, as compared to the fourth quarter 2009. This decline was due primarily to the 0.7 point impact of unfavorable year-over-year transaction currency with the remainder due largely to the mix impact from the acceleration of growth in BPO and ITO revenue.

Sales gross margin decreased 1.0-percentage points, or 0.3-percentage points on a pro-forma1 basis, as compared to the fourth quarter 2009. The impact of unfavorable year-over-year transaction currency more than offset the positive impact of cost improvements.

Service, outsourcing and rentals margin decreased 10.6-percentage points, or 1.6-percentage points, as compared to the fourth quarter 2009 on a pro-forma1 basis. The positive impact of cost reductions was more than offset by the mix impact from the acceleration of growth in BPO and ITO revenue and the impact of unfavorable year-over-year transaction currency.

RD&E of $193 million in the fourth quarter 2010 was $32 million lower than the fourth quarter 2009 reflecting the impact of restructuring and productivity improvements. We invest in technological research and development, particularly in color, software and services. We believe that our R&D spending is sufficient to remain technologically competitive. Xerox R&D is strategically coordinated with Fuji Xerox.

SAG expenses of $1,196 million in the fourth quarter 2010 were $71 million higher than the fourth quarter 2009 and $67 million lower on a pro-forma1 basis. There was a $12 million favorable impact from currency for the quarter. The SAG expense impact reflects the following on a pro-forma basis:

  • $35 million increase in selling expenses, reflecting increased demand generation and brand advertising and higher commissions partially offset by the benefits from restructuring and productivity improvements.
  • $57 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, reflecting the benefits from restructuring and operational improvements.
  • $45 million decrease in bad debt expenses to $40 million, reflecting an improving write-off trend. 2010 fourth quarter bad debt expense continued to remain at less than one percent of receivables.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

During the fourth quarter 2010, we recorded an additional $273 million of net restructuring and asset impairment charges, which included the following:

  • $264 million for severance costs related to headcount reductions of approximately 6,000 employees. The functional areas impacted by the actions include services, supply chain and manufacturing, back office administrative functions, and research and development.
  • $11 million for lease termination costs
  • $19 million loss associated with the sale of our Venezuelan operations.4 The loss primarily reflects the write off of our Venezuelan net assets including working capital and long-lived assets given the decision in the fourth quarter 2010 to transition to a distributor model for this market.

These costs were partially offset by $23 million of net reversals for changes in estimated reserves from prior period initiatives.

The restructuring reserve balance as of December 31, 2010, for all programs was $323 million, of which approximately $309 million is expected to be spent over the next twelve months.

Acquisition Related Costs

Costs of $9 million were incurred during the fourth quarter 2010 in connection with our acquisition of ACS. These costs represent incremental external costs such as consulting, systems integration, corporate communication services and consolidation of facilities directly related to the integration of ACS and Xerox as well as the expense associated with performance shares that were granted to ACS management in connection with existing change-in-control agreements.

Acquisition related costs were $63 million in the fourth quarter 2009 primarily reflecting $58 million of costs related to the write-off of fees associated with a Bridge Loan Facility commitment which was terminated as a result of securing permanent financing to fund the ACS acquisition.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

During the fourth quarter 2010, we recorded $85 million of expense related to the amortization of intangible assets, which is $69 million higher than fourth quarter 2009. The increase primarily reflects the amortization of intangibles associated with our acquisition of ACS. As a result of the ACS acquisition, amortization of acquired intangibles for 2010 was approximately $250 million higher than the prior year.

Worldwide Employment

Worldwide employment of 136,500 at December 31, 2010 increased approximately 83,000 from year-end 2009, primarily due to additional headcount associated with the ACS acquisition.

Non-Financing Interest Expense

Fourth quarter 2010 non-financing interest expense of $78 million was $10 million higher than fourth quarter 2009 due to higher debt balances primarily resulting from our acquisition of ACS. Interest expense and average debt balances for the fourth quarter 2010 have decreased as compared to the third quarter reflecting the Senior Note redemption and other repayments of debt.

Currency Gains, Net

Net currency gains of $9 million in the fourth quarter 2010 include a cumulative translation gain of $6 million that was recognized upon the repatriation of cash and liquidation of a foreign subsidiary.

Litigation Matters

Fourth quarter 2010 includes a benefit of $7 million as a result of changes in estimated probable losses from various legal matters.

Fourth quarter 2010 effective tax rate was 13.6%. On an adjusted basis, fourth quarter 2010 tax rate was 29.5%3, which was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the net tax benefits from the geographical mix of income before taxes and the related tax rates in these jurisdictions and tax law changes.

Fourth quarter 2009 effective tax rate was 15.5%. On an adjusted basis, the fourth quarter 2009 tax rate was 21.1%3, which was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the geographical mix of income and the settlement of various tax positions offset by a reduction in foreign tax credit benefits.

Our effective tax rate is based on nonrecurring events as well as recurring factors, including the geographical mix of income and the related tax rates in these jurisdictions and available foreign tax credits. In addition, our effective tax rate will change based on discrete or other nonrecurring events that may not be predictable. We anticipate that our effective tax rate for 2011 will be approximately 31%, excluding the effects of any discrete events.

Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates

Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates, which primarily reflects our 25% share of Fuji Xerox net income, was $26 million, a decrease of $1 million compared to fourth quarter 2009. Fourth quarter 2010 equity income includes charges of $5 million related to our share of Fuji Xerox after-tax restructuring compared to $6 million of charges for the fourth quarter 2009.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,307 million in the fourth quarter 2010 reflecting the inclusion of ACS. The $340 million increase in cash from fourth quarter 2009 was primarily due to the following:

  • $367 million increase in pre-tax income before depreciation and amortization and restructuring.
  • $146 million increase due to a decrease in accounts receivable and collections of deferred proceeds from prior quarter sales of receivables primarily reflecting improved collections and the use of prompt pay discounts.
  • $76 million decrease associated with up-front costs and other customer related spending for service contracts.
  • $54 million decrease due to higher finance receivables of $42 million and equipment on operating leases of $12 million both reflective of increased equipment placements.
  • $26 million decrease due to higher restructuring payments associated with previously reported actions.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $216 million in the fourth quarter 2010. The $147 million increase in the use of cash from fourth quarter 2009 was primarily due to the following:

  • $42 million increase due to the 2010 acquisitions of TMS Health for $48 million and Spur Information Solutions for $12 million as compared to $18 million for GIS acquisition activity in 2009.
  • $122 million increase due to higher capital expenditures (including internal use software) primarily as a result of the inclusion of ACS in 2010.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $863 million in the fourth quarter 2010. The $2,609 million decrease in cash from fourth quarter 2009 was primarily due to the following:

  • $2,669 million decrease from net debt activity. Fourth quarter 2010 reflects net payments of $602 million on the Credit Facility, $550 million early redemption of the 2013 Senior Notes and $23 million on other debt. These payments were partially offset by net proceeds of $300 million from Commercial Paper issued under a program we initiated during the fourth quarter 2010. Fourth quarter 2009 reflects net debt proceeds of $1,982 million from the issuance of Senior Notes in December 2009. These proceeds were partially offset by the repayment of 2009 Senior Notes of $150 million and $33 million of debt issuance costs for the Bridge Loan Facility commitment, which was terminated.
  • $22 million decrease reflecting dividends on a larger number of outstanding shares as a result of the acquisition of ACS.
  • $63 million increase due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock primarily as a result of the exercise of stock options issued under the former ACS plans as well as the exercise of stock options from several expiring grants.

Customer Financing Activities

The reduction of $428 million in Total finance assets, net includes unfavorable currency of $134 million.

(1) Includes (i) billed portion of finance receivables, net, (ii) finance receivables, net and (iii) finance receivables due after one year, net as included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following summarizes our debt as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Less: current maturities and short-term debt   (1,370 )   (988 )
Total Long-Term Debt $ 7,237   $ 8,276  
 

Our lease contracts permit customers to pay for equipment over time rather than at the date of installation, therefore, we maintain a certain level of debt (that we refer to as financing debt) to support our investment in these lease contracts, which are reflected in Total finance assets, net. For this financing aspect of our business, we maintain an assumed 7:1 leverage ratio of debt to equity as compared to our finance assets. Based on this leverage, the following represents the breakdown of total debt between financing debt and core debt:

   
December 31, December 31,
(in millions) 2010 2009
 
Financing Debt(2) $ 6,256 $ 6,631
Core Debt   2,351   2,633
Total Debt $ 8,607 $ 9,264

(2) Financing Debt includes $5,793 million and $6,149 million as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, of debt associated with Total Finance receivables, net and is the basis for our calculation of "Equipment financing interest" expense. The remainder of the financing debt is associated with equipment on operating leases.

Sales of Accounts Receivables

We have facilities in the U.S., Canada and several countries in Europe that enable us to sell to third-parties, on an on-going basis, certain accounts receivable without recourse. The accounts receivables sold are generally short-term trade receivables with payment due dates of less than 60 days. Accounts receivable sales were as follows:

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words "anticipate,” "believe,” "estimate,” "expect,” "intend,” "will,” "should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current beliefs, assumptions and expectations and are subject to a number of factors that may cause actual results to differ materially. These factors include but are not limited to: the unprecedented volatility in the global economy; the risk that unexpected costs will be incurred; the outcome of litigation and regulatory proceedings to which we may be a party; actions of competitors; changes and developments affecting our industry; quarterly or cyclical variations in financial results; development of new products and services; interest rates and cost of borrowing; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; our ability to maintain and improve cost efficiency of operations, including savings from restructuring actions; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; changes in economic conditions, political conditions, trade protection measures, licensing requirements and tax matters in the foreign countries in which we do business; reliance on third parties for manufacturing of products and provision of services; the risk that we will not realize all of the anticipated benefits from the acquisition of Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.; our ability to recover capital investments; the risk that subcontractors, software vendors and utility and network providers will not perform in a timely, quality manner; the risk that multi-year contracts with governmental entities could be terminated prior to the end of the contract term; the risk that individually identifiable information of customers, clients and employees could be inadvertently disclosed or disclosed as a result of a breach of our security; and other factors that are set forth in the "Risk Factors” section, the "Legal Proceedings” section, the "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section and other sections of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010, and our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP”). In addition, we have discussed the non-GAAP measures described below. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth below as well as in the 2010 fourth quarter presentation slides available at www.xerox.com/investor.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Earnings Measures

To better understand the trends in our business and the impact of the ACS acquisition, we believe it is necessary to adjust the following amounts determined in accordance with GAAP to exclude the effects of the certain items as well as their related income tax effects:

  • Net income and Earnings per share ("EPS”)
  • Effective tax rate
  • Operating income and margin

The above have been adjusted for the following items:

  • Restructuring and asset impairment charges (including those incurred by Fuji Xerox): Restructuring and asset impairment charges consist of costs primarily related to severance and benefits for employees terminated pursuant to formal restructuring and workforce reduction plans. We exclude these charges because we believe that these historical costs do not reflect expected future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our current or past operating performance. In addition, such charges are inconsistent in amount and frequency. Such charges are expected to yield future benefits and savings with respect to our operational performance.
  • Acquisition related costs: We incurred significant expenses in connection with our acquisition of ACS which we generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as a part of our continuing operations. Acquisition related costs include transaction and integration costs, which represent external incremental costs directly related to completing the acquisition and the integration of ACS and Xerox. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these costs on our total operating expenses.
  • Amortization of intangible assets: The amortization of intangible assets is driven by our acquisition activity which can vary in size, nature and timing as compared to other companies within our industry and from period to period. Accordingly, due to the incomparability of acquisition activity among companies and from period to period, we believe exclusion of the amortization associated with intangible assets acquired through our acquisitions allows investors to better compare and understand our results. The use of intangible assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to our future period revenues as well. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods.
  • Other discrete, unusual or infrequent costs and expenses: In addition, we have also excluded the following additional items given the discrete, unusual or infrequent nature of these items on our results of operations for the period – 1) loss on early extinguishment of debt (Q4); 2) ACS shareholders litigation settlement (Q2); 3) Venezuela devaluation costs (Q1); and 4) Medicare subsidy tax law change (income tax effect only) (Q1). We believe exclusion of these items allows investors to better understand and analyze the results for the period as compared to prior periods as well as expected trends in our business.

Pro-forma Basis

To better understand the trends in our business, we discuss our 2010 operating results by comparing them against adjusted 2009 results which include ACS historical results for the comparable period. Accordingly, we have included ACS’s 2009 estimated results for the comparable period, October 1st through December 31st, in our reported 2009 results. We refer to comparisons against these adjusted 2009 results as "pro-forma” basis comparisons. ACS 2009 historical results have been adjusted to reflect fair value adjustments related to property, equipment and computer software as well as customer contract costs. In addition, adjustments were made for deferred revenue, exited businesses and other material non-recurring costs associated with the acquisition. We believe comparisons on a pro-forma basis are more meaningful than the actual comparisons given the size and nature of the ACS acquisition. We believe the pro-forma basis comparisons allow investors to have a better understanding and additional perspective of the expected trends in our business as well as the impact of the ACS acquisition on the Company’s operations.

Constant Currency

To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to adjust revenue to exclude the impact of changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We refer to this adjusted revenue as "constant currency.” Currencies for developing market countries (Latin America, Brazil, Middle East, India, Eurasia and Central-Eastern Europe) that we operate in are reported at actual exchange rates for both actual and constant revenue growth rates because (1) these countries historically have had volatile currency and inflationary environments and (2) our subsidiaries in these countries have historically taken pricing actions to mitigate the impact of inflation and devaluation. Management believes the constant currency measure provides investors an additional perspective on revenue trends. Currency impact can be determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the current periods’ results against the corresponding prior periods’ results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth on the following tables:

Diluted Earnings per Share $ 0.12   $ 0.20 $ 0.43   $ 0.55
 

The following securities were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands of shares):

Stock options 54,495 27,799 57,541 27,901
Restricted stock and performance shares 20,963 16,907 25,983 22,574

Dividends per Common Share $ 0.0425   $ 0.0425 $ 0.1700   $ 0.1700
 

Average shares for the calculation of adjusted EPS for the fourth quarter and full year 2010 were 1,458 million and 1,378 million, respectively. The fourth quarter 2010 average shares include 27 million shares associated with the Series A convertible preferred stock and therefore the quarterly dividends of $6 million are excluded. The full year 2010 average shares include a pro-rata share of the 27 million preferred shares and therefore the annual dividends of $21 million are likewise excluded. We evaluate the dilutive effect of the Series A convertible preferred stock on an "if-converted” basis.
