Acquisition Amortization and Other Costs

Acquisition Amortization and Other Costs represents amortization charges associated with intangible asset values as well as other deal costs associated with the Company's acquisitions. Our Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of the costs the Company incurred in connection with acquisitions. The Acquisition Amortization and Other Costs are recorded in our Cost of revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, there were $4 million in pre-tax charges primarily related to restructuring charges as a result of the termination of the Outsourcing Services Agreement with Penson. These charges are recorded in our Other segment and Cost of revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012.

In fiscal year 2012, Broadridge reviewed its investment in the Penson common stock for impairment during the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011. Based on the Company's review, factoring in the level of decline in the fair value of the Penson common stock, management determined that the market value of the Penson common stock would not equal or exceed the cost basis of its investment within a reasonable period of time. After consideration of the severity and duration of this decline in fair value as well as the reasons for the decline in value, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $10 million in the Other segment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings at December 31, 2011, and established a new cost basis for this investment.

IBM Migration Costs

In March 2010, Broadridge entered into an Information Technology Services Agreement with International Business Machines ("IBM") under which IBM provides us with certain aspects of our information technology infrastructure. Our fiscal year 2012 Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of the costs the Company incurred in connection with the migration of our data center to IBM (the "Migration"). The Migration costs are recorded in our Other segment and Cost of revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The more significant mainframe Migration was successfully completed at the end of our 2012 fiscal year resulting in a pre-tax charge of $25 million.
