Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are
prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use the following non-GAAP financial
measures in this press release or in the earnings webcast: organic revenue and revenue growth on a constant currency basis; non-GAAP
gross profit; non-GAAP gross profit margin; non-GAAP operating income; non-GAAP operating profit; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP
SG&A expense; non-GAAP profit before tax; non-GAAP tax rate; non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share. These non-GAAP
measures exclude costs related to restructuring actions, acquisition and related integration expenses, amortization of acquired
intangible assets and other non-operational costs.
We also refer to organic revenue growth
and free cash flow in this press release or on the earnings webcast, which are also non-GAAP financial measures. We define the
term organic revenue as GAAP revenue excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency translation rates and the effect of acquisitions
and divestitures, and believe it is a useful measure to evaluate our continuing business. Related to organic growth, we
also present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding
the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period results for
entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from
the comparative period rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. We define free cash
flow as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant, and equipment. We believe free cash flow
is a useful measure to evaluate our business because it indicates the amount of cash generated after additions to property, plant,
and equipment that is available for, among other things, acquisitions, investments in our business, repayment of debt and return
of capital to shareholders.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not
intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and may
be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and therefore, may not be comparable among companies. We
believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance, however we urge
investors to review the reconciliation of these financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in the accompanying
tables, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Specifically, management believes that the non-GAAP
measures mentioned above provide relevant and useful information which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in
our industry, as well as by our management, in assessing both consolidated and business unit performance.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our period-over-period
operating performance because our management believes this provides a more comparable measure of our continuing business by adjusting
for certain items that are not reflective of the underlying performance of our business. These measures may also be useful to investors
in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business and forecasting future results. We regularly use these non-GAAP
