Forward-looking statements cover all matters which are not historical facts and include, without limitation, statements or guidance regarding or relating to our future financial position, results of operations and growth, plans and objectives for the future including our capabilities and priorities, risks associated with changes in global and regional economic, market and political conditions, ability to manage supply chain challenges, ability to manage the impact of product price fluctuations, our financial condition and liquidity, legal or regulatory changes and other statements concerning the success of our business and strategies.

These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share - diluted, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted effective tax rate, net debt and net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide users of the Company&#8217;s financial information with additional meaningful information to assist in understanding financial results and assessing the Company&#8217;s performance from period to period. Management believes these measures are important indicators of operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses, and they are consistent with how business performance is planned, reported and assessed internally by management and the Board. Such non-GAAP adjustments include amortization of acquired intangible assets, discrete tax items, and any other items that are non-recurring. Non-recurring items may include various restructuring charges, gains or losses on the disposals of businesses which by their nature do not reflect primary operations, as well as certain other items deemed non-recurring in nature and&#47;or that are not a result of the Company&#8217;s primary operations. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results reported under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of operations that, when viewed with U.S. GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of the business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review the Company&#8217;s financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty or without unreasonable effort non-recurring items, such as those described above, that may arise in the future. The variability of these items is unpredictable and may have a significant impact.</font></div><div style="height:82.35pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="margin-bottom:6pt"><font><br></font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt"><font><br></font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:700;line-height:133%">8</font></div></div></div><div id="i9713e599656a4085b7bf6c8149f6326f_16"></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:43.2pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-bottom:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:700;line-height:133%"> </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt"><font><br></font></div></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;text-align:center"><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Summary of Organic Revenue</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Management evaluates organic revenue as it provides a consistent measure of the change in revenue year-on-year.
