Revenues from Global Clients represented approximately 76.8% of Genpact's total revenues, or $387 million, with the remaining 23.2% of revenues, or $117 million, coming from GE. GE revenues increased 1.0% from the first quarter of 2012.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the following measures defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as non-GAAP financial measures:

• Adjusted income from operations;
• Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited, or adjusted net income; and
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited, or adjusted diluted earnings per share.

These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations of Genpact's GAAP financial statements to such non-GAAP measures should be carefully evaluated.

Prior to July 2012, for its internal management reporting and budgeting purposes, Genpact's management used financial statements that excluded significant acquisition related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles on such acquisitions for financial and operational decision-making, for evaluating period-to-period comparisons and for comparing Genpact's operating results to that of its competitors. However, considering Genpact's frequent acquisitions of varying scale and size, and the difficulty in predicting expenses relating to acquisitions and amortization of acquired intangibles thereof, since July 2012 Genpact's management has considered financial statements that exclude all acquisition related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles for its internal management reporting, budgeting and decision making purposes.

Additionally, for its internal management reporting and budgeting purposes, Genpact's management uses financial statements that exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles at formation in 2004 and expenses related to the change of shareholding and capital restructuring in 2012. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when adopting ASC 718 "Compensation-Stock Compensation," Genpact's management believes that providing financial statements that do not include stock-based compensation allows investors to make additional comparisons between Genpact's operating results and those of other companies. In addition, Genpact's management believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude all of the above expenses allows investors to make additional comparisons between Genpact's operating results and those of other companies. Genpact also believes that it is unreasonably difficult to provide its financial outlook in accordance with GAAP for a number of reasons including, without limitation, its inability to predict its stock-based compensation expense under ASC 718, the amortization of intangibles associated with further acquisitions and acquisition related expenses, if any.  Accordingly, Genpact believes that the presentation of adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can provide useful supplemental information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

A limitation of using adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income versus income from operations and net income calculated in accordance with GAAP is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs, namely stock-based compensation, that are recurring. Stock-based compensation has been and will continue for the foreseeable future to be a significant recurring expense in Genpact's business. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income and evaluating such non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The following tables show the reconciliation of these adjusted financial measures from GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013:
