Non-GAAP Financial Data Included in this presentation, the Company reports two non-GAAP financial measures: Operating Earnings and Adjusted Book Value. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance or financial position that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures because they provide greater transparency and enhanced visibility into the underlying drivers of our business and the impact of certain items that the Company believes will reverse from GAAP book value over time through the GAAP statements of comprehensive income. Operating Earnings and Adjusted Book Value are not substitutes for the Company’s GAAP reporting, should not be viewed in isolation and may differ from similar reporting provided by other companies, which may define non-GAAP measures differently. Operating Earnings The following table reconciles net income attributable to common stockholders to the non-GAAP measure, operating earnings, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively: 13 AMBAC NON-GAAP FINANCIAL DATA Per Diluted Per Diluted ($ in illions, h r than per share data) $ Amount Share $ Amount Share Net inc m attr butable to common stockholders 9.4$ 0.21$ 387.0$ 8.56$ Adjustments: N n-cr dit impairment fair value (gain) loss on credit derivatives (1.3) (0.03) 2.7 0.06 Financial guarantee VIEs consolidated 155.8 3.44 21.1 0.47 Insurance intangible amortization 50.9 1.13 54.4 1.20 Foreign exchange (gain) loss from remeasurement of premiums receivable and loss and loss expenses 7.2 0.16 10.6 0.23 Fair value (gain) loss on derivative products from Ambac CVA (3.9) (0.09) 5.2 0.12 Operating earnings 218.1$ 4.82$ 481.0$ 10.64$ Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding (in millions) 45.2 45.2 Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015
