Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes Versus Prior Period
Management disclosed that current revenue pacing data is not materially different from the information presented during the first quarter earnings call on May 6, 2011. The pacing data compares revenues booked at a specific date against the comparable date in the prior period. This comparison includes adjustments for acquisitions and divestitures and excludes foreign exchange effects.

The filing notes that pacing data may or may not reflect actual revenue growth at the end of the period. No new forward-looking guidance, specific risks, or contingencies were introduced in this report beyond the pacing update. The information is furnished under Item 7.01 and is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific revenue pacing percentages disclosed during the May 6, 2011, first quarter earnings call.
- Confirm the impact of recent acquisitions and divestitures on the comparative pacing data.
- Monitor subsequent filings for actual revenue growth figures at the end of the reporting period, as pacing data is not a guarantee of final results.
