Exhibit 99.1
Non-GAAP Reconciliation, page 12
1.We note your response to our prior comment; however, please more fully explain and
address the following items regarding the Impact of convertible notes - other adjustment.
•You state this non-GAAP adjustment represents the impact the call spread overlay
would have on your earnings per share calculation since the call spread overlay
effectively negates the dilutive impact if the convertible debt was converted into
shares. Explain how you calculated the amount of the non-GAAP adjustment related
to the impact of the call spread overlay in each annual and interim period presented.
In this regard, it appears the amount of the adjustment may represent the difference
between GAAP basic EPS and GAAP diluted EPS.

•You state that you do not believe your presentation of Adjusted diluted income per
share has the effect of changing the recognition and measurement principles required
to be applied in accordance with GAAP. Explain why you do not believe this is an
individually tailored non-GAAP adjustment since it appears to result in the
presentation of diluted earnings per share without applying the if-converted method,
which is required by GAAP.
•You state that you adjust Adjusted diluted income per share for the impact of the call
spread overlay to demonstrate to investors that if the convertible debt had been
converted into shares, the call spread overlay would be triggered and the dilutive
impact would be fully offset. Explain why you believe it is appropriate to reflect the
effect of the call spread overlay through a non-GAAP adjustment given the apparent
absence of events that would trigger its recognition in your historical financial
statements.

            Please contact Dale Welcome at 202-551-3865 or Anne McConnell at 202-551-3709 if
you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters.
Sincerely,
