The reported GAAP operating margin and the adjusted margin use different expense treatments. Their gap is not an additional revenue stream or a cash-flow measure. The reconciliation identifies amortization, stock compensation and restructuring adjustments; a comparison should keep those expenses visible even when an adjusted figure is also shown.
