Our ability to deliver continued growth in the current market environment is a testament to our unique leadership position and diversified business model. While I am disappointed with certain events that are causing some near-term challenges in the second half of the year, our new business pipeline is strong, and, as a growing number of pharmaceutical companies seek outsourced solutions we continue to be uniquely well positioned to benefit from those trends. Long-term, we remain focused on our vision of building the industry's leading integrated network that will deliver broad, multifaceted solutions to clients."
2008 Financial Targets Update
The Company is targeting adjusted earnings per share for the second half of 2008 of $0.90 - $0.95, equivalent to GAAP earnings per share of $0.88 - $0.93. The Company stated that revised targets for the second half of the year are being driven by certain of its clients' products receiving FDA non-approvals, reductions in client marketing spends, and increased gas prices.
Adjusted guidance figures exclude derivative interest income or expense related to the Company's interest rate hedge on its term loan facility, and assume no additional impairment charges from marketable securities or non-recurring tax adjustments.

(1) USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. The Company's objectives in presenting non-GAAP financial measures are:
* To present the financial statements on a more comparable period-to-period basis; * To enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's past financial performance and its planning and forecasting of future periods; and * To allow investors to assess the Company's financial performance using management's analytical approach.
Table 3 below contains reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The "adjusted" non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release are related to the following two factors:
* Derivative Interest: In October 2005, the Company engaged in an interest rate hedge of its $175 million term loan facility, which the Company did not designate for hedge accounting until July 2006. In July 2006, the Company employed a hypothetical derivative model to assess ineffectiveness. For the three-months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $0.3 million of interest expense (approximately $0.2 million, net of taxes), respectively, relating to the ineffectiveness of the hedge for each quarter. Net interest expense was adjusted to exclude these adjustments in their respective periods. * Certain Receivable Reserves: During the second quarter of 2007, the Company recorded additional reserves for receivables and other related expense of $8.2 million ($4.8 million net of taxes) mainly relating to a collections issue due to the bankruptcy of one of its Commercial clients. Historical write-offs have been minimal and the Company does not believe there is a significant risk that the circumstances giving rise to these additional reserves will recur in future periods.
In addition, this press release contains non-GAAP financial measures related to the pro-forma organic net revenue growth rate for 2008. This growth rate is calculated as if all companies acquired by the Company as of June 30, 2008 were owned by it as of January 1, 2007. Finally, this release contains the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization.
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures included herein, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, is useful to investors for the reasons discussed above. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the performance of the Company's operations on a consistent basis from period to period.
