Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, estimates, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: our ability to achieve and effectively manage growth, including our ability to integrate our acquisitions and consummate and integrate future acquisitions; our ability to pay our debt; our ability to maintain and expand our products and services; our ability to expand or retain our customer base; our ability to grow or sustain revenue from individual customers; our ability to attract and retain a professional staff of research analysts and consultants as well as experienced sales personnel upon whom we are dependent; our ability to achieve continued customer renewals and achieve new contract value, backlog and deferred revenue growth in light of competitive pressures; our ability to carry out our strategic initiatives and manage associated costs; our ability to successfully compete with existing competitors and potential new competitors; our ability to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights; additional risks associated with international operations, including foreign currency fluctuations; the U.K.’s planned exit from the European Union and its impact on our results; the impact of restructuring and other charges on our businesses and operations; cybersecurity incidents; general economic conditions; risks associated with the creditworthiness, budget cuts, and shutdown of governments and agencies; the impact of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017; uncertainty from the expected discontinuance of LIBOR and transition to any other interest rate benchmark; changes to laws and regulations; and other factors described under “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, which can be found on Gartner’s website at https://investor.gartner.com and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Certain financial measures used in this Press Release are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and as such are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We provide these measures to enhance the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and the Company’s prospects for the future. Investors are cautioned that these non-GAAP financial measures may not be defined in the same manner by other companies and, as a result, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Also, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as alternatives, or superior, to other measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this Press Release are defined below.
Adjusted Revenue: Represents GAAP revenue plus: (i) revenue from pre-acquisition periods, as applicable, and (ii) the amortization of non-cash fair value adjustments on pre-acquisition deferred revenues, as applicable; less (iii) revenue related to divested operations. Non-cash fair value adjustments on pre-acquisition deferred revenues are generally recognized ratably over the remaining period of the underlying revenue contract. We believe Adjusted Revenue is an important measure of our recurring operations as it provides a more accurate period-over-period comparison of trends in revenues.
Adjusted Contribution and Adjusted Contribution Margin: GAAP gross contribution is derived from our GAAP-based financial statements and represents revenue less direct expense. Adjusted Contribution represents GAAP gross contribution plus: (i) contribution from pre-acquisition periods, as applicable, and (ii) the amortization of non-cash fair value adjustments on pre-acquisition deferred revenues, as applicable; less (iii) contribution related to divested operations; and (iv) an adjustment for unallocated corporate costs. Adjusted Contribution Margin represents the contribution margin on Adjusted Revenue. We believe these are important measures of our recurring operations as they provide a more accurate and consistent period-over-period comparison of our segment results.
Adjusted EBITDA: Represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted for: (i) interest expense, net; (ii) tax provision (benefit); (iii) other operating expense/income, net; (iv) stock-based compensation expense; (v) depreciation, amortization, and accretion; (vi) the amortization of non-cash fair value adjustments on pre-acquisition deferred revenues, as applicable; (vii) acquisition and integration charges and certain other non-recurring items; (viii) EBITDA from pre-acquisition periods, as applicable; (ix) gain/loss on divestitures, as applicable; and (x) EBITDA from divested operations, as applicable. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our recurring operations as it excludes items not representative of our core operating results.
Adjusted Net Income: Represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted for the impact of certain items directly related to acquisitions and other non-recurring items. These adjustments include: (i) the amortization of acquired intangibles; (ii) acquisition and integration charges and other non-recurring items; (iii) the amortization of non-cash fair value adjustments on pre-acquisition deferred revenues, as applicable; (iv) the non-recurring impact from the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, as applicable; (v) gain/loss on divestitures and other similar items, as applicable; and (vi) the related tax effect, as applicable. Adjusted Net Income includes the operating results of our divested operations. We believe Adjusted Net Income is an important measure of our recurring operations as it excludes items that may not be indicative of our core operating results.
Adjusted EPS: Represents GAAP EPS adjusted for the impact of certain items directly related to acquisitions and other non-recurring items. These adjustments include on a per share basis: (i) the amortization of acquired intangibles; (ii) acquisition and integration charges and other non-recurring items; (iii) the amortization of non-cash fair value adjustments on pre-acquisition deferred revenues, as applicable; (iv) the non-recurring impact from the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, as applicable; (v) gain/loss on divestitures and other similar items, as applicable; and (vi) the related tax effect, as applicable. Adjusted EPS includes the operating results of our divested operations. We believe Adjusted EPS is an important measure of our recurring operations as it excludes items that may not be indicative of our core operating results.
Free Cash Flow: Represents cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP: (i) plus payments for acquisition and integration items directly-related to our acquisitions and certain other non-recurring items; (ii) less payments for capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow includes the results of our divested operations. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important measure of the recurring cash generated by the Company’s core operations that may be available to be used to repay debt obligations, repurchase our stock, invest in future growth through new business development activities, or make acquisitions.
Foreign Currency Neutral (FX Neutral): We provide foreign currency neutral dollar amounts and percentages for our contract values, revenues, certain expenses, and other metrics. These foreign currency neutral dollar amounts and percentages eliminate the effects of exchange rate fluctuations and thus provide a more accurate and meaningful trend in the underlying data being measured. We calculate foreign currency neutral dollar amounts by converting the underlying amounts in local currency for different periods into U.S. dollars by applying the same foreign exchange rates.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
The tables below provide reconciliations of certain Non-GAAP financial measures used in this Press Release with the most directly comparable GAAP measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" above for definitions of these measures.
