extraordinary items

extraordinary items
Items that are material, not expected to recur frequently and derive from outside the ordinary activities of the company. Contrast this with an exceptional item, which is derived from within the ordinary activities of the company. The impact that extraordinary items have on profit does not give a true indication of the profitability of the company's business.
