Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The information included in this presentation includes the non-GAAP financial measures of organic net sales (decline) growth, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted effective tax rate, free cash flow, and consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement). A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the appendix. The company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding its operational performance because they enhance an investor’s overall understanding of our core financial performance and facilitate comparisons to historical results of operations, by excluding items that are not related directly to the underlying performance of our fundamental business operations or were not part of our business operations during a comparable period. The company believes that free cash flow is a useful measure of its ability to generate cash. The company believes that consolidated net leverage ratio is a useful measure of its credit position. Management additionally uses these measures when assessing the performance of the business and for business planning purposes. Note that our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those terms as defined or used by other companies. DISCLAIMERS
