the
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
on
the
Company’s
Form

for
the
quarter

2010
and
in
Note
11
Contingent
Liabilities
and
Commitments
in
the
Company’s
Form
10-K
report
for
the
year ended December 31, 2009. A further discussion of the Company’s risk factors can be found in Item 1A of the Company’s Form  
10-K report for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update the matters covered in
this presentation.
With over 60% of sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, management uses currency-adjusted growth, and believes
it
is
useful
to
investors,
to
judge
the
Company’s
controllable,
local
currency
performance.
Organic
sales
growth
data
presented
in
this
review is proforma
data and excludes currency impacts. While able to report historical currency impacts after the fact, we are unable to
estimate
changes
that
may
occur
later
in
2010
to
applicable
rates
of
exchange
and
thus
will
be
unable
to
reconcile
the
projected
non-
GAAP currency adjusted internal growth rates to reported GAAP growth rates for 2010.  Any significant changes in currency exchange
rates would likely have a significant impact on our reported growth rates due to the volume of our sales denominated in foreign
currencies.
Management
also
uses
proforma
net
income
and
free
cash
flow,
non-GAAP
measures,
to
judge
its
performance
and
ability
to
pursue
opportunities that enhance shareholder value.  Management believes this non-GAAP information is useful to investors as well. 
Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP information are included in the Company’s February 10, 2010 and April 22, 2010 earnings
releases posted on its website, www.sigma-aldrich.com
