Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures, including pro forma net income and EPS. Pro forma net income and EPS are adjusted from GAAP-based results to exclude certain costs and expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. Pro forma results are one of the primary indicators management uses for evaluating historical results and for planning and forecasting future periods. We believe pro forma results provide consistency in our financial reporting which enhances our investors' understanding of our current financial performance as well as our future prospects. Pro forma results should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP results.

Pro forma revenues exclude the impact of joint ventures. Pro forma net income excludes the amortization of intangible assets arising from the purchase price allocations performed in our acquisitions, stock and extraordinary compensation plan expenses and mark to market of derivatives and hedged items that Telvent believes are not indicative of its core performance or results. Reconciliation between GAAP and pro forma figures is provided in this release in a table immediately following the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 During the fourth quarter of 2008, we changed our business segments.
 Our former segment, Public Administration, was combined with our
 Global Services segment. In light of our recent acquisition of DTN,
 we created a new Agriculture segment. All prior period results
 appearing in the segment information table included in this release
 have been restated to conform with our new business segments."
