RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (FOOTNOTES) 33 1) During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company recorded net restructuring and special items of $54.0 million. The charges included $25.3 million in severance and other personnel costs along with $17.0 million in facility-related costs associated with facility closures and general integration initiatives. A substantial portion of these costs relates to the planned closure of two Covance Drug Development segment (“CDD”) operations that serviced a minimum volume contract that expired on October 31, 2015. In addition, the Company recorded asset impairments of $11.9 million relating to CDD customer service applications that will no longer be used. The Company reversed previously established reserves of $0.2 million in unused facility- related costs. The Company incurred additional legal and other costs of $5.7 million relating to the wind-down of the minimum volume contract operations. The Company also recorded $10.1 million in consulting expenses relating to fees incurred as part of its Covance integration costs and compensation analysis, along with $1.1 million in short-term equity retention arrangements relating to the acquisition of Covance and $0.3 million of accelerated equity compensation relating to the announced retirement of a Company executive (all recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses). During the fourth quarter, the Company paid $12.2 million in settlement costs and litigation expenses related to the resolution of a federal court putative class action lawsuit. In addition, the Company incurred $3.0 million of non-capitalized costs associated with the implementation of a major system as part of its Project LaunchPad business process improvement initiative. The after tax impact of these charges decreased net earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, by $63.2 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.61 ($63.2 million divided by 103.2 million shares). During the first three quarters of 2015, the Company recorded net restructuring and other special charges of $59.9 million. The charges included $33.9 million in severance and other personnel costs along with $12.1 million in costs associated with facility closures and general integration initiatives. The Company reversed previously established reserves of $0.9 million in unused facility-related costs. In addition, the Company recorded asset impairments of $14.8 million relating to lab and customer service applications that will no longer be used. The Company also recorded $15.3 million of consulting expenses relating to fees incurred as part of Project LaunchPad as well as Covance integration costs, along with $4.3 million in short-term equity retention arrangements relating to the acquisition of Covance (all recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses). In addition, the Company recorded a non-cash loss of $2.3 million, upon the dissolution of one of its equity investments (recorded in other, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations). During the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded $166.0 million of one-time costs associated with its acquisition of Covance. The costs included $79.5 million of Covance employee equity awards, change in control payments and short-term retention arrangements that were accelerated or triggered by the acquisition transaction (recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations). The acquisition costs also included advisor and legal fees of $33.9 million (recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations), $15.2 million of deferred financing fees associated with the Company’s bridge loan facility as well as a make-whole payment of $37.4 million paid to call Covance’s private placement debt outstanding at the purchase date (both amounts recorded in interest expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations). The after tax impact of these charges decreased net earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, by $245.7 million and diluted earnings per share by $2.44 ($245.7 million divided by 100.6 million shares).


 
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (FOOTNOTES) 34 2) During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded net restructuring and special items of $2.4 million. The charges included $0.7 million in severance and other personnel costs along with $1.7 million in facility-related costs associated with facility closures and general integration initiatives. In addition to these net restructuring charges, the Company recorded $13.2 million in consulting expenses relating to fees incurred as part of Project LaunchPad as well as legal fees associated with its Covance, Inc. acquisition (all such fees are recorded in selling, general and administrative). In conjunction with the financing of the Covance transaction, the Company incurred $4.7 million in bridge financing fees and wrote-off $1.3 million in deferred financing costs relating to its prior credit agreement which was replaced with a new credit facility. These Covance-related financing costs are recorded in interest expense. The after tax impact of these combined charges decreased net earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2014, by $13.3 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.15 ($13.3 million divided by 86.3 million shares). During the first three quarters of 2014, the Company recorded net restructuring and special items of $15.4 million. The charges included $9.9 million in severance and other personnel costs along with $6.6 million in costs associated with facility closures and general integration initiatives. The Company reversed previously established reserves of $0.4 million in unused severance and $0.7 million in unused facility-related costs. In addition, the Company recorded $10.1 million in consulting expenses relating to fees incurred as part of Project LaunchPad as well as legal fees associated with its LipoScience acquisition and one-time CFO transition costs (all such fees are recorded in selling, general and administrative). The after tax impact of these combined charges decreased net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2014, by $29.1 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.34 ($29.1 million divided by 86.4 million shares). 3) The Company continues to grow the business through acquisitions and uses Adjusted EPS Excluding Amortization as a measure of operational performance, growth and shareholder returns. The Company believes adjusting EPS for amortization provides investors with better insight into the operating performance of the business. For the quarters ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, intangible amortization was $38.3 million and $15.4 million, respectively ($26.9 million and $9.5 million net of tax, respectively) and decreased EPS by $0.26 ($26.9 million divided by 103.2 million shares) and $0.11 ($9.5 million divided by 86.2 million shares), respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, intangible amortization was $164.5 million and $76.7 million, respectively ($113.5 million and $47.3 million net of tax, respectively) and decreased EPS by $1.13 ($113.5 million divided by 100.6 million shares) and $0.55 ($47.3 million divided by 86.4 million shares), respectively.
