The earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the Company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation within the earnings release of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures used within the Company's earnings release are:

▪ Organic revenue growth, which represents the change in revenue excluding currency translation effects and the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures;

▪ Adjusted operating income (loss), which represents operating income (loss), excluding restructuring costs (benefits); and

▪ Adjusted earnings per share, which represents earnings per share, excluding restructuring costs (benefits), net of tax.

These measures are presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. Therefore, management believes this information is also useful for investors.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 and Item 7.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibit hereto) shall not be considered "filed" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into future filings by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, unless the Company expressly sets forth in such future filing that such information is to be considered "filed" or incorporated by reference therein.
