We calculate these non�GAAP financial measures as follows:

• Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income adjusted for the following: amortization of purchased intangibles, expense (income) relating to deferred compensation plan liabilities, acquisition expenses, realignment expenses (income), and stockâ�‘based compensation, for the respective periods;
• Adjusted OI w/SBC is defined as operating income adjusted for the following: amortization of purchased intangibles, expense (income) relating to deferred compensation plan liabilities, acquisition expenses, and realignment expenses (income), for the respective periods;
• Adjusted net income is defined as net income adjusted for the following: amortization of purchased intangibles, stockâ�‘based compensation, expense (income) relating to deferred compensation plan liabilities, acquisition expenses, realignment expenses (income), other nonâ�‘operating (income) expense, net, the tax effect of the above adjustments to net income, and (income) loss from investments accounted for using the equity method, net of tax, for the respective periods. The income tax effect of nonâ�‘GAAP adjustments was determined using the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which income or expense occurred, and represent both current and deferred income tax expense or benefit based on the nature of the nonâ�‘GAAP adjustments, including the tax effects of nonâ�‘cash stockâ�‘based compensation expense;
• Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted net income, less net income attributable to participating securities, plus interest expense, net of tax, attributable to the convertible senior notes using the ifâ�‘converted method, if applicable, (numerator) divided by Adjusted weighted average shares, diluted (denominator). Adjusted weighted average shares, diluted is calculated by adding incremental shares related to the dilutive effect of convertible senior notes using the ifâ�‘converted method, if applicable, to weighted average shares, diluted; and
• Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted for the following: interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stockâ�‘based compensation, expense (income) relating to deferred compensation plan liabilities, acquisition expenses, realignment expenses (income), other nonâ�‘operating (income) expense, net, and (income) loss from investments accounted for using the equity method, net of tax.

During the second quarter of 2022, we modified our definitions of Adjusted net income, Adjusted operating income, and Adjusted EBITDA to adjust for realignment expenses (income) relating to our wind down of business in, and exit from, the Russian market, which were subsequently adjusted during the third and fourth quarters of 2022 for our change in estimates. These realignment expenses (income) are comprised of termination benefits for colleagues whose positions were eliminated and corresponding asset impairments. Amounts for all periods herein reflect application of the aforementioned definitions modification.

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, payments related to the Company’s interest rate swap were recognized in Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and the corresponding prior period amounts, which were previously recognized in Interest expense, net, were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, the amounts reclassified were not material, and Income before income taxes and Net income in the consolidated statements of operations did not change as a result of these reclassifications.
