We provide information on free cash flow to enable investors to assess our ability to generate cash without incurring additional external financings. This information is not a substitute for financial measures prepared under U.S. GAAP.

  2. The supplemental information below identifies certain items included in operating cash flow that may affect comparability between periods.

    • Litigation settlement: Cost to settle litigation arising from proceedings outside the ordinary course of business. See "Note 16.

    • Legal fees: Legal and related fees arising from proceedings outside the ordinary course of business.

    • Restructuring: Restructuring fluctuates in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our restructuring activities.

    • Interest on convertible senior notes: In February 2020, we issued convertible senior notes (the "Notes"), due March 1, 2025, in a private placement. The Notes accrued interest at an annual rate of 0.75%, paid semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1. The outstanding Notes were repaid in their entirety at maturity.
