II. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures; including Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA, and Organic Growth (Decline). Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted Operating Earnings are calculated by excluding from Earnings per Share and Operating Earnings items that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. For the periods covered by this release, such items consist of expenses associated with restructuring actions taken to adjust our cost structure to the current business climate, transition-related expenses, including amortization and settlement expenses relating to defined benefit pension plans that we have terminated, expenses associated with acquisition-related inventory adjustments, and transaction expenses associated with our acquisition of DWR. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by excluding depreciation, amortization and other net income or expenses from Adjusted Operating Earnings. We present Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Earnings, and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe them to be useful in analyzing ongoing results from operations. Organic Growth (Decline) represents the change in revenue and orders, excluding currency translation effects and the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures.

Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA and Organic Growth (Decline) are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to the related GAAP measurement. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. We compensate for these limitations by providing equal prominence of our GAAP results.
