"We are pleased to report our 16th consecutive year of record revenues and another year of double-digit earnings per share growth. These results are a testament to the remarkable contributions of my colleagues at ICE, the deep and expanding relationship we share with our customers, and the diversity of our business model, which enables us to drive growth through a variety of macroeconomic environments. We begin 2022 better positioned than ever and we are focused on supporting the growth of our customers and connecting them to opportunity through our unique data services, leading technology and network expertise."

We grew revenues across the asset classes in which we operate, generating double-digit growth in our recurring revenues. As we enter 2022, we expect the consistency of our growth and the compounding nature of both our revenues and cash flows to continue to create value as we invest in the many secular growth opportunities that exist across our business while also returning capital to our shareholders."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation

We use non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions. When viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations than GAAP measures alone. In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to investors for period-to-period comparison of results because the items described below as adjustments to GAAP are not reflective of our core business performance. These financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP financial measures and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We use these adjusted results because we believe they more clearly highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures, since these measures eliminate from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance. We strongly recommend that investors review the GAAP financial measures and additional non-GAAP information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributable to ICE common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow for the periods presented below are calculated by adding or subtracting the adjustments described below, which are not reflective of our cash operations and core business performance, and their related income tax effect and other tax adjustments (in millions, except for per share amounts):
