Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that represent the
company's current expectations and beliefs. All statements other than statements of historical fact are "forward-looking statements" for purposes of federal and state securities laws and include, but are not limited to, statements of management's
expectations regarding the macro environment and the company's performance, growth and growth opportunities, strategies, initiatives, areas of focus, sales force, shareholder value, product previews and launches, product portfolio optimization,
transformation, evolution, operational and financial initiatives, digital tools and initiatives, new market expansion, and plans for developing and emerging markets; projections regarding revenue, expenses, margins, tax rates, earnings per share,
foreign currency fluctuations, future dividends, uses of cash, financial position and other financial items; statements of belief; and statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. In some cases, you can identify these statements by
forward-looking words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "become," "plan," accelerate," "project," "continue," "outlook," "guidance," "improve," "enhance," "will," "would," "could," "may," "might," the negative of these words and other
The forward-looking statements and related assumptions involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ
materially from any forward-looking statements or views expressed herein. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:
The company's financial performance and the forward-looking statements contained herein are further qualified by a detailed discussion of associated
risks set forth in the documents filed by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements set forth the company's beliefs as of the date that such information was first provided, and the company assumes no
duty to update the forward-looking statements contained in this release to reflect any change except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Constant-currency revenue change is a non-GAAP financial measure that removes the impact of fluctuations in foreign-currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of the company's performance. It is calculated by
translating the current period's revenue at the same average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior-year period and then comparing that amount to the prior-year period's revenue. The company believes that constant-currency revenue
change is useful to investors, lenders and analysts because such information enables them to gauge the impact of foreign-currency fluctuations on the company's revenue from period to period.
Earnings per share, gross margin, operating margin and income tax rate, each excluding restructuring and impairment charges and/or inventory
write-off charges, also are non-GAAP financial measures. Restructuring and impairment charges and inventory write-off charges are not part of the ongoing operations of our underlying business. The company believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures are useful to investors, lenders and analysts because removing the impact of these charges facilitates period-to-period comparisons of the company's performance. Please see the reconciliations of these items to our earnings per share,
gross margin, operating margin and income tax rate calculated under GAAP, below.
