Other Information

All percentage amounts and ratios were calculated using the underlying data in whole dollars. We measure constant currency, or the effects on our results that are attributable to foreign currency changes, by measuring the incremental difference between translating the prior period and the current results at the monthly average rates for the same period from the prior year.

Foreign Currency:

Exchange rates between most of the major foreign currencies we use to transact our business and the U.S. dollar have fluctuated significantly over the last few years and we expect that they will continue to fluctuate. The majority of our revenues and costs are denominated in Euros, Pound Sterling, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars and other international currencies. The following table provides the average quarterly exchange rates for the Euro and Pound Sterling since the beginning of fiscal year 2015:



Period	Average Euro-to-U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate	Average Pound Sterling-to-U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate
Quarter ended September 30, 2014	1.33	1.67
Quarter ended December 31, 2014	1.25	1.58
Quarter ended March 31, 2015	1.13	1.52
Quarter ended June 30, 2015	1.11	1.53
Quarter ended September 30, 2015	1.11	1.55

During three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, the U.S. dollar strengthened against many of the foreign currencies we use to transact our business. The average U.S. dollar strengthened versus the Euro by 16.1% and the Pound Sterling by 7.2%, which decreased our associated revenues and expenses during fiscal year 2016. A hypothetical 5% increase or decrease in the U.S. dollar versus other currencies in which we transact our

business would have resulted in an increase or decrease, as the case may be, to our revenues of $7.7 million during the first quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Net Loss Attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc.:

The net loss attributable to Solera Holding, Inc. reported for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was primarily due to increased expenses related to a decrease in the fair value of our derivative financial instruments, an increase in interest expense due to additional senior unsecured notes issued in November 2014 and July 2015, and professional services and related costs incurred in relation to the proposed acquisition of Solera by Vista.

Quarterly Dividend:

Our Board of Directors approved the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.225 per share of outstanding common stock and per outstanding restricted stock unit. The dividends are payable on December 3, 2015 to stockholders and restricted stock unit holders of record at the close of business on November 19, 2015.

Earnings Conference Call:

Solera will release its financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2015 on Thursday, November 5, 2015, after the market close. A conference call will be hosted by Tony Aquila, Solera's founder, Chairman and CEO, and Renato Giger, Solera's CFO, at 5:00 pm EDT that evening.

(1) During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, we partially settled our foreign exchange forward contract for a cash payment of $8.9 million. This cash payment is excluded from the determination of Adjusted Net Income and Cash EPS as it is of a nonrecurring nature. Settlement of the remaining foreign exchange forward contract with a notional amount of €235.8 million was extended to July 2016. As of the settlement extension date, the unrealized loss on the remaining outstanding notional amount was approximately $8.6 million. This unrealized loss is also excluded from the determination of Adjusted Net Income and Cash EPS consistent with our definition of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

To supplement our financial results on a GAAP basis, we use a number of non-GAAP financial measures that management believes provide additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and are also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to facilitate the evaluation of our business on a comparable basis to other companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The three primary non-GAAP financial measures that we use are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Cash EPS. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Cash EPS are useful to investors in providing information regarding our operating results. We rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management team in connection with our executive compensation and bonus plans. Adjusted EBITDA also allows us to compare our current operating results with corresponding prior periods as well as to the operating results of other companies in our industry. We present Adjusted Net Income and Cash EPS because we believe both of these measures provide useful information regarding our operating results in addition to our GAAP measures. We believe that Adjusted Net Income and Cash EPS provide investors with valuable insight into our profitability exclusive of unusual adjustments, and provide further insight into the cash impact resulting from the different treatments of goodwill for financial reporting and tax purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Cash EPS have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, net income per share and other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Cash EPS should not be considered as a replacement for GAAP net income. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Cash EPS as supplemental information.




	Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) restructuring charges, asset impairments, and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities, (vi) other (income) expense, net, (vii) litigation related expenses (recoveries), and (viii) acquisition and related costs. Acquisition and related costs include costs incurred in relation to the proposed acquisition of Solera by Vista, including professional fees and personnel retention incentives; legal and professional fees and other transaction costs associated with completed and contemplated business combinations and asset acquisitions; costs associated with integrating acquired businesses, including costs incurred to eliminate workforce redundancies and for product rebranding; and other charges incurred as a direct result of our acquisition efforts. These other charges include changes to the fair value of contingent purchase consideration, acquired assets and assumed liabilities subsequent to the completion of the purchase price allocation, purchase price that is deemed to be compensatory in nature and incentive compensation arrangements with continuing employees of acquired companies.

	Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. excluding (i) provision for income taxes, (ii) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (iii) stock-based compensation expense, (iv) restructuring charges, asset impairments, and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities, (v) other (income) expense, net excluding interest income and realized gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments, (vi) litigation related expenses (recoveries), and (vii) acquisition and related costs. From this amount, we subtract an assumed provision for income taxes to arrive at Adjusted Net Income. During fiscal years 2016 and 2015, we assumed a 24% and 26% income tax rate, respectively, as an approximation of our long-term effective corporate income tax rate, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that includes certain benefits from net operating loss carryforwards, tax credits, tax deductible goodwill and amortization, and certain holding companies in low tax-rate jurisdictions.

	Cash EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents Adjusted Net Income (as defined above) divided by the number of diluted shares outstanding for the period used in the calculation of GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. per diluted common share. If we report a net loss attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. for GAAP purposes, the diluted shares outstanding used in the calculation of Cash EPS includes the dilutive effective of common stock equivalents.
