The Earnings Release included the following non-GAAP financial measures (the “non-GAAP Measures”):
| (i) | net income before restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs on a consolidated
basis, also referred to as net income before special items, which is equal to GAAP net
income plus restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs, each item net of tax, on a
consolidated basis; |
||
| (ii) | diluted earnings per Class A share and per Class B share before restructuring charges
and acquisition-related costs on a consolidated basis, also referred to, with respect to the Class A shares, as diluted Class A
earnings per share before special items, which is equal
to GAAP diluted earnings per Class A share and per Class B share plus restructuring charges
and acquisition-related costs, each item net of tax, on a consolidated basis; |
||
| (iii) | operating profit before restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs on a
consolidated basis, also referred to as operating profit before special items, which is
equal to GAAP operating profit plus restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs on
a consolidated basis; |
||
| (iv) | operating profit before restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs with
respect to the Company’s Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services segment and Flexible
Products & Services segment, which is equal to each segment’s GAAP operating profit plus
that segment’s restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs; |
||
| (v) | operating profit before restructuring charges with respect to the Company’s Paper
Packaging segment, which is equal to that segment’s GAAP operating profit plus that
segment’s restructuring charges; |
||
| (vi) | net working capital on a consolidated basis, which is equal to current assets less
current liabilities less cash and cash equivalents; and |
||
| (vii) | net debt on a consolidated basis, which is equal to long-term debt plus current
portion of long-term debt plus short-term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. |
Management of the Company uses the non-GAAP Measures to evaluate ongoing operations and believes
that these non-GAAP Measures are useful to enable investors to perform meaningful comparisons of
