s a 5.6 to 9.5 percent reduction versus prior year. The prior revenue guidance range was $1.375 to $1.470 billion. Our GAAP loss per fully diluted share from continuing operations is expected to be in the range of $6.61 to $6.91, versus a prior earnings range of $0.66 to $1.05. Adjusted earnings per fully diluted share are now expected to be $0.85 to $1.15. The prior guidance range was $0.82 to $1.18. Financial guidance in tabular format is included in the attached schedule.

Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. provides earnings per share guidance on an adjusted basis from continuing operations because the company's management believes that the presentation provides useful information to investors. This measure excludes strategic developments, special charges, the impact of significant litigation and impairment charges. Such items may be highly variable, difficult to predict and of a size that sometimes have substantial impact on the company's reported operations for a period. Often, quantification of such items is not feasible. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the business, including evaluating results relative to employee performance compensation targets. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
