The non-GAAP financial measures include forecasted sales growth on a constant currency basis, forecasted adjusted operating margin and forecasted free cash flow conversion. Forecasted net sales growth on a constant currency basis provides information about the expected percentage change in net sales growth assuming foreign currency exchange rates remain constant in future periods. Forecasted adjusted operating margin represents forecasted adjusted operating income (forecasted operating income excluding special items that may occur during the forecast period) divided by forecasted net sales. Forecasted free cash flow conversion represents forecasted free cash flow (forecasted operating cash flow less forecasted capital expenditures) divided by forecasted adjusted net income attributable to Baxter stockholders (forecasted net income attributable to Baxter stockholders excluding special items that may occur during the forecast period).</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Franklin Gothic Book',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Non-GAAP financial measures may enhance an understanding of the company&#8217;s operations and may facilitate an analysis of those operations, particularly in evaluating performance from one period to another. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliations to corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, may enhance an investor&#8217;s overall understanding of the company&#8217;s past financial performance and prospects for the future. Accordingly, management uses these non-GAAP measures internally in financial planning, to monitor business unit performance, and, in some cases, for purposes of determining incentive compensation. This information should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Franklin Gothic Book',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The company has not provided a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis for its long-range financial guidance for 2022 to 2025 because it is unable to provide a meaningful calculation or estimation of the reconciling items and that information is not available without unreasonable effort.
