(1) See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
(A) NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Adjusted earnings from continuing operations before provision for taxes on income, adjusted net earnings from continuing operations, adjusted net earnings per share (diluted) from continuing operations, and adjusted effective tax rate from continuing operations are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered replacements for GAAP results. The Company provides earnings from continuing operations before provision for taxes on income, net earnings from continuing operations, net earnings per share (diluted) from continuing operations, and effective tax rate from continuing operations on an adjusted basis because management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors. Among other things, these measures may assist investors in evaluating the Company's results of operations period over period. In various periods, these measures may exclude such items as intangible asset amortization expense, significant gains from divestitures, significant costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring, litigation, and changes in applicable laws and regulations (including significant accounting or tax matters). Special items may be highly variable, difficult to predict, and of a size that sometimes has substantial impact on the Company's reported results of operations for a period. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performances of the Company's businesses, including allocating resources and evaluating results relative to employee performance compensation targets. Unlike earnings from continuing operations before provision for taxes on income, net earnings from continuing operations, net earnings per share (diluted) from continuing operations, and effective tax rate from continuing operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, adjusted earnings from continuing operations before provision for taxes on income, adjusted net earnings from continuing operations, adjusted net earnings per share (diluted) from continuing operations, and adjusted effective tax rate from continuing operations may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. The limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures are that they provide a view of the Company's results of operations without including all events during a period, such as intangible asset amortization expense, significant gains from divestitures, the effects of an acquisition, restructuring, litigation, and changes in applicable laws and regulations (including significant accounting or tax matters) and do not provide a comparable view of the Company's performance to other companies in the health care industry. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Notes
1 COVID-19 Vaccine related costs include remaining commitments and obligations, including external manufacturing network exit costs and required clinical trial expenses, associated with the Company's completion of its COVID-19 vaccine contractual commitments.
2 In fiscal 2023, the company completed a prioritization of its research and development (R D) investment within the Innovative Medicine segment to focus on the most promising medicines with the greatest benefit to patients. This resulted in the exit of certain programs within therapeutic areas. The R D program exits are primarily in infectious diseases and vaccines including the discontinuation of its respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) adult vaccine program, hepatitis and HIV development. The restructuring expenses of $144 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2024 and $130 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2023 include the termination of partnered and non-partnered program costs and asset impairments. In fiscal 2023, the company initiated a restructuring program of its Orthopaedics franchise within the MedTech segment to streamline operations by exiting certain markets, product lines and distribution network arrangements. The restructuring expenses of $27 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2024 primarily includes costs related to market and product exits.
3 European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) costs represent one-time compliance costs for the Company's previously registered products. MDR is a replacement of the existing European Medical Devices Directive regulatory framework, and manufacturers of currently marketed medical devices were required to comply with EU MDR beginning in May 2021. The Company considers the adoption of EU MDR to be a significant one-time regulatory change and is not indicative of on-going operations. The Company has excluded only external third-party regulatory and consulting costs from its MedTech operating segments' measures of profit and loss used for making operating decisions and assessing performance which will be completed during 2024.
4 The tax impact related to special item adjustments reflects the current and deferred income taxes associated with the above pre-tax special items in arriving at adjusted earnings.
