•Adjusted EBITDAC Margin Excluding Heath Lambert is defined as Adjusted EBITDAC further adjusted to exclude the EBITDAC associated with the acquired Heath
Lambert operations divided by Adjusted Revenues, as further adjusted to exclude the revenues associated with the acquired Heath Lambert operations. 8 The most directly comparable GAAP measure for these non-GAAP earnings measures is earnings from continuing operations. For the Brokerage Segment, the Risk Management Segment, and the two segments on a combined basis, earnings from continuing operations was $136 million, $31 million and $167 million, respectively, in 2010, and $140 million, $34 million and $174 million, respectively, in 2011. For all other measures, please see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” on Gallagher’s Web site at www.ajg.com under “Investor Relations”.
