Local currency revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth rate and internal revenue growth rate measures Percentage revenue and adjusted EBITDA variances presented on a local currency basis are calculated by translating the current period results of our non - US dollar denominated operations to US dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the periods against which the current period results are being compared. Percentage revenue variances presented on an internal growth basis are calculated assuming no impact from acquired entities in the current and prior periods. Revenue from acquired entities, including any foreign exchange impacts, are treated as acquisition growth until the respective anniversaries of the acquisitions. We believe that these revenue growth rate methodologies provide a framework for assessing the Company’s performance and operations excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. Since these revenue growth rate measures are not calculated under GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. Assets under management We use the term assets under management (“AUM”) as a measure of the scale of our Investment Management operations. AUM is defined as the gross market value of operating assets and the projected gross cost of development assets of the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide management and advisory services, including capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts have the right to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments. Our definition of AUM may differ from those used by other issuers and as such may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. Fee paying assets under management We use the term fee paying assets under management (“FPAUM”) to represent only the AUM on which the Company is entitled to receive management fees. We believe this measure is useful in providing additional insight into the capital base upon which the Company earns management fees. Our definition of FPAUM may differ from those used by other issuers and as such may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. Recurring revenue percentage Recurring revenue percentage is computed on a trailing twelve - month basis and represents the proportion that is derived from Engineering, Outsourcing and Investment Management service lines. All these service lines represent medium to long - term duration revenue streams that are either contractual or repeatable in nature. Revenue for this purpose incorporates the expected full year impact of acquisitions and dispositions. Adjusted EBITDA from recurring revenue percentage Adjusted EBITDA from recurring revenue percentage is computed on a trailing twelve - month basis and represents the proportion of adjusted EBITDA that is derived from Engineering, Outsourcing and Investment Management service lines. All these service lines represent medium to long - term duration revenue streams that are either contractual or repeatable in nature. Adjusted EBITDA for this purpose is calculated in the same manner as calculated for our debt agreement covenant calculation purposes, incorporating the expected full year impact of business acquisitions and dispositions.
