company’s and our business segments’ ongoing performance and financial results, as well as assessing our prospects for future performance. the adjusted operating financial measures facilitate a meaningful analysis and allow more accurate comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to the company’s and our business segments’ core operating performance, and are better measures for assessing trends in our underlying businesses. these notable items are consistent with how management views our businesses. management uses these non-gaap financial measures in making financial, operational and planning decisions and evaluating the company’s and our business segment’s ongoing performance. pretax operating income (loss) in the servicing segment eliminates the effects of mark-to-market adjustments which primarily reflects unrealized gains or losses based on the changes in fair value measurements of msrs and their related financing liabilities for which a fair value accounting election was made. these adjustments, which can be highly volatile and material due to changes in credit markets, are not necessarily reflective of the gains and losses that will ultimately be realized by the company. pretax operating income (loss) in each segment also eliminates, as applicable, transition and integration costs, gains (losses) on sales of fixed assets, certain settlement costs that are not considered normal operational matters, intangible amortization, and other adjustments based on the facts and circumstances that would provide investors a supplemental means for evaluating the company’s core operating performance. forward-looking statements any statements in this release that are
