Nobody talks like that

Original

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Acme’s operating results, primarily because they exclude amounts that we do not consider part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the organization, our individual operating segments or our senior management. Segment managers are not held accountable for share-based compensation expense, amortization, or the other excluded items and, accordingly, we exclude these amounts from our measures of segment performance. We believe that our non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison by management and investors of results for current periods and guidance for future periods with results for past periods.

Original, with commentary

We believe that [there’s nothing technically wrong here, but often you can remove the word “that” without doing any harm to your sentence] these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Acme’s operating results, primarily because they exclude amounts that we do not consider part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the organization, our individual operating segments or our senior management. Segment managers are not held accountable for share-based compensation expense, amortization, or the other excluded items and, accordingly, we exclude these amounts from our measures of segment performance. We believe that [this one is unnecessary too] our non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison by management and investors of results for current periods and guidance for future periods with results for past periods [if you wouldn’t say it when explaining the idea in conversation, why say it in print?].

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Acme’s operating results. Notably, these measures exclude amounts that we do not consider part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the organization, our individual operating segments, or our senior management. Segment managers are not held accountable for share-based compensation expense, amortization, or the other excluded items, so it makes sense to exclude these amounts when we evaluate segment performance. We believe our non-GAAP financial measures also make it more efficient for management and investors to compare results for current periods and guidance for future periods with results for past periods.
