(2)   Working capital (WC) is defined in this context as current assets minus current liabilities excluding cash, assets held for sale, and short-term debt, based on end of period balances. Average working capital represents a two-point average of working capital.
(3)   Represents working capital at the end of the period divided by annualized net sales (current quarter net sales x 4).
(4)   Represents a two-point average of working capital divided by annualized net sales (current quarter net sales x 4).

Net sales $5,591 $5,623

(1)        In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, this schedule provides the definition of certain non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. Management uses free cash flow and free cash flow as a percent of sales to help assess the cash generation ability of the business and funds available for investing activities, such as acquisitions, investing in the business to drive growth, and financing activities, including debt payments, dividend payments and share repurchases. Free cash flow does not represent cash available only for discretionary expenditures, since the Company has mandatory debt service requirements and other contractual and non- discretionary expenditures. In addition, free cash flow may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded.

Economic profit (1) (Adjusted after-tax profit less capital charge) $ 405 $ 426 $ 402

(1)        In accordance with SEC's Regulation G, this schedule provides the definition of a non-GAAP measure and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. Economic profit (EP), a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the company as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, noncash restructuring-related and asset impairment costs, and interest expense; less an amount of tax based on the effective tax rate and less a charge equal to average capital employed multiplied by the weighted-average cost of capital. Management uses EP to evaluate business performance and allocate resources, and is a component in determining management’s incentive compensation. Management believe EP provides additional perspective to investors about financial returns generated by the business and represents profit generated over and above the cost of capital used by the business to generate that profit.
 
(2) The tax rate applied is the effective tax rate on continuing operations, which was 34.7%, 32.7% and 31.4% in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
(3) Total capital employed represents total assets less non-interest bearing liabilities. Adjusted capital employed represents total capital employed adjusted to add back current year noncash restructuring-related and asset impairment costs. Average capital employed represents the average of adjusted capital employed for the current year and total capital employed for the prior year, based on year-end balances. See below for details of the average capital employed calculation:
 
FY14 FY13 FY12
Total assets       $       4,258       $       4,311       $       4,355
Less:
       Accounts payable 440 413 412
       Accrued liabilities 472 490 494
       Income taxes payable 8 29 5
       Other liabilities 768 742 739
       Deferred income taxes 103 119 119
              Non-interest bearing liabilities 1,791 1,793 1,769
Total capital employed 2,467 2,518 2,586
Noncash restructuring-related and asset impairment costs - - 4
Adjusted capital employed $ 2,467 $ 2,518 $ 2,590
Average capital employed $ 2,493 $ 2,552 $ 2,544

(4)        Capital charge represents average capital employed multiplied by the weighted-average cost of capital. The weighted-average cost of capital used to calculate capital charge was 9% for all fiscal years presented.

(1)        In accordance with SEC's Regulation G, this schedule provides the definition of a non-GAAP measure and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. Return on invested capital (ROIC), a non-GAAP measure, is calculated as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and interest expense, computed on an after-tax basis as a percentage of average invested capital. Management believes ROIC provides additional information to investors about current trends in the business. ROIC is a measure of how effectively the company allocates capital.
 
(2) The tax rate applied is the effective tax rate on continuing operations, which was 34.7%, 32.7% and 31.4% in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
(3) Average invested capital represents a five quarter average of total assets less non-interest bearing liabilities.
