Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted net income as follows: net income before debt refinancing costs and other financing transactions, unrealized loss/(gain) on other hedges and loss/(gain) on currency translation on debt, net, amortization and depreciation expense related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets, deferred income tax and other tax expense, amortization of deferred financing costs, restructuring and special charges, and other costs. The Company believes Adjusted net income provides investors with helpful information with respect to the performance of the Company's operations and management uses Adjusted net income to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted net income is not a measure of liquidity. See the tables below which reconcile Net income to Adjusted net income and Projected GAAP earnings per share to Projected Adjusted net income per share.
The following unaudited table reconciles the Company's Net income to Adjusted net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Debt refinancing costs and other financing transactions
Unrealized loss/(gain) on other hedges and loss/(gain) on currency
translation on debt, net
Amortization and depreciation expense related to the step-up in fair
value of fixed and intangible assets
Deferred income tax and other tax expense
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding used in Adjusted net income per share calculation
Adjusted net income per share
The Company's definition of Adjusted net income includes the current tax expense (benefit) that will be payable (realized) on the Company's income tax return and excludes deferred income tax and other tax expense. As the Company treats deferred income tax and other tax expense as an adjustment to compute Adjusted net income, the deferred income tax effect associated with the reconciling items would not change Adjusted net income for each period presented. The theoretical current income tax associated with the reconciling items above would be as follows: Amortization and depreciation expense related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets: $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively; Restructuring and special charges: $1.3 million and $0.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The following unaudited table identifies where in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations the adjustments to reconcile Net income to Adjusted net income were recorded for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
