    (1)Represents insurance proceeds associated with processing system intrusion charges incurred in FY 2012.


    2 For the period ended November 30, 2013, represents one-time charges primarily related to employee termination benefits and a one-time credit related to the gain on the sale of an interest in a business.  For the prior period,
     represents HSBC's share of GPAP dividends declared and the net income attributable to our Asia-Pacific redeemable noncontrolling interest.


    (3)Represents adjustments to cost of service to exclude acquisition intangible amortization expense from net income and the related income tax benefit.


    We supplemented our reporting of income and the related earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by reporting income and the related earnings per share for the three months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 on
     a "cash earnings" basis in this earnings release as a measure to help evaluate performance. We calculated income and earnings per share on a cash basis by excluding amounts related to the processing system intrusion, acquisition
     intangible amortization, one-time charges related to employee termination benefits, and a one-time credit related to the gain on the sale of an interest in a business.  In November 2012, we also adjusted the net income
     attributable to noncontrolling interests to include HSBC's share of second quarter 2013 GPAP net income and for HSBC's share of GPAP dividends. We exclude these charges in order to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are
     pertinent to the daily management of our operations. Our income and earnings per share reported on a cash earnings basis should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, income and earnings per share determined in
     accordance with GAAP. Our measures of income and earnings per share on a cash earnings basis reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

    (1)Represents insurance proceeds associated with processing system intrusion charges incurred in FY 2012.


    2 For the period ended November 30, 2013, represents one-time charges primarily related to employee termination benefits and resolution of a contract related contingency, and a one-time credit related to the gain on the sale of an
     interest in a business.  For the prior period, represents HSBC's share of GPAP dividends declared and the net income attributable to our Asia-Pacific redeemable noncontrolling interest.


    (3)Represents adjustments to cost of service to exclude acquisition intangible amortization expense from net income and the related income tax benefit.


    We supplemented our reporting of income and the related earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by reporting income and the related earnings per share for the six months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 on a
     "cash earnings" basis in this earnings release as a measure to help evaluate performance. We calculated income and earnings per share on a cash basis by excluding amounts related to the processing system intrusion, acquisition
     intangible amortization, one-time charges related to employee termination benefits and resolution of a contract related contingency, and a one-time credit related to the sale of an interest in a business.  In the six months ended
     November 2012, we also adjusted the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests to include HSBC's share of second quarter 2013 GPAP net income and for HSBC's share of GPAP dividends declared.  We exclude these charges in
     order to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are pertinent to the daily management of our operations. Our income and earnings per share reported on a cash earnings basis should be considered in addition to, and not as a
     substitute for, income and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. Our measures of income and earnings per share on a cash earnings basis reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to
     similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
