We believe that the exclusion of the identified items helps us reflect the fundamentals of our underlying business model and analyze results against our expectations, against prior period, and to plan for future periods by focusing on our underlying operations. We believe that the adjusted results provide relevant and useful information for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by management and improves their ability to understand and assess our operating performance. The nature of these exclusions is for specific items that are not fundamental to our underlying business operations. Since these adjusted financial measures and other non-GAAP metrics are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to their U.S. GAAP measures, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies. *Note fiscal 2018 and 2017 were restated for the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” (a) We include the interest income earned on investments associated with our client funds extended investment strategy and interest expense on borrowings related to our client funds extended investment strategy as we believe these amounts to be fundamental to the underlying operations of our business model. The adjustments in the table above represent the interest income and interest expense that is not related to our client funds extended investment strategy and are labeled as “All other interest expense” and “All other interest income.” 22 (Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts) Years ended June 30, 2018 2017 2016 2015 2019 As Restated* As Restated* As Restated As Restated Net earnings from continuing operations $ 2,292.8 $ 1,884.9 $ 1,787.8 $ 1,493.4 $ 1,376.5 Adjustments: Provision for income taxes 712.8 397.7 829.1 741.3 694.2 All other interest expense (a) 59.9 59.4 59.3 47.9 1.5 All other interest income (a) (32.4) (25.5) (22.4) (13.6) (10.7) Gain on sale of businesses — — (205.4 ) (29.1 ) — Gain on sale of assets (15.7) — — (13.9) — Transformation initiatives (b) 138.3 404.8 85.0 48.2 — Proxy contest matters (c) — 33.3 — — — Adjusted EBIT from continuing operations $ 3,155.7 $ 2,754.6 $ 2,533.4 $ 2,274.2 $ 2,061.5 Net earnings from continuing operations $ 2,292.8 $ 1,884.9 $ 1,787.8 $ 1,493.4 $ 1,376.5 Adjustments: Gain on sale of businesses — — (205.4 ) (29.1 ) — Provision for income taxes on gain on sale of businesses (d) — — 84.0 7.3 — Gain on sale of assets (15.7 ) — — (13.9 ) — Provision for income taxes on gain on sale of assets (e) 3.9 — — 5.3 — Transformation initiatives (b) 138.3 404.8 85.0 48.2 — Income tax benefit for transformation initiatives (e) (34.5) (122.1) (32.0) (16.4) — Proxy contest matters (c) — 33.3 — — — Income tax benefit for proxy contest matters (e) — (10.4) — — — Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (f) (0.5 ) (183.2 ) — — — Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations $ 2,384.3 $ 2,007.3 $ 1,719.4 $ 1,494.8 $ 1,376.5 Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations $ 5.24 $ 4.25 $ 3.97 $ 3.25 $ 2.89 Adjustments: Gain on sale of businesses (d) — — (0.27) (0.05) — Gain on sale of assets (e) (0.03 ) — — (0.02 ) — Transformation initiatives (b) (e) 0.24 0.64 0.12 0.07 — Proxy contest matters (c) (e) — 0.05 — — — Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (f) — (0.41) — — — Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations $ 5.45 $ 4.53 $ 3.82 $ 3.26 $ 2.89
