Non-GAAP Financial Measures ACI includes backlog estimates which are all software license fees, maintenance fees and services specified in executed contracts, as well as revenues from assumed contract renewals to the extent that we believe recognition of the related revenue will occur within the corresponding backlog period. We have historically included assumed renewals in backlog estimates based upon automatic renewal provisions in the executed contract and our historic experience with customer renewal rates. Backlog is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Our 60-month backlog estimate represents expected revenues from existing customers using the following key assumptions: • Maintenance fees are assumed to exist for the duration of the license term for those contracts in which the committed maintenance term is less than the committed license term. • License and facilities management arrangements are assumed to renew at the end of their committed term at a rate consistent with our historical experiences. • Non-recurring license arrangements are assumed to renew as recurring revenue streams. • Foreign currency exchange rates are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period for those contracts stated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. • Our pricing policies and practices are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period. Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable. Our backlog estimates requi re substantial judgment and are based on a number of assumptions as described above. These assumptions may turn out to be inaccurate or wrong, including for reasons outside of management’s control. 17

Non-GAAP Financial Measures For example, our customers may attempt to renegotiate or terminate their contracts for a number of reasons, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general changes in economic conditions in the customer’s industry or geographic location, or we may experience delays in the development or delivery of products or services specified in customer contracts which may cause the actual renewal rates and amounts to differ from historical experiences. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also impact the amount of revenue actually recognized in future periods. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in backlog estimates will actually generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within the corresponding 60- month period. Backlog should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, reported revenue and deferred revenue. ACI also includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss) plus income tax expense, net interest income (expense), net other income (expense), depreciation and amortization and non-cash compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, operating income (loss). 18 Adjusted EBITDA (millions) 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 Net income (loss) $52.6 $27.2 $19.6 $10.6 ($13.8) Plus: Income tax expense 18.5 21.5 13.5 17.0 7.7 Net interest expense 1.1 1.3 1.8 2.4 2.6 Net other expense (income) 0.8 3.6 6.6 (8.2) 3.8 Depreciation expense 7.5 6.7 6.3 6.5 6.0 Amortization expense 20.8 19.7 17.4 15.5 14.8 Non-cash compensation expense 11.3 7.8 7.6 7.9 5.8 Adjusted EBITDA $112.6 $87.8 $72.8 $51.7 $26.9 Calendar Year Ended December 31,
