 Appendix 26 |
 In addition to the GAAP financial measures included in this presentation, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial
measures (i.e., adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin,
adjusted earnings per share, adjusted tax rate and free cash flow). These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain expenses and benefits as detailed in the accompanying reconciliation
tables.
This presentation also includes forward-looking guidance for certain
non-GAAP financial measures including adjusted EBITDA,
adjusted earnings per share and adjusted tax rate. The Company excludes
certain expenses and benefits from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted
earnings per share and adjusted tax rate, such as impairment of long-lived assets, reorganization and realignment costs and system optimization gains, net. Due to the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of certain future
expenses and benefits related to our system optimization
initiative, the Company is unable without unreasonable effort to provide projections of net income, earnings per share or reported tax rate or a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA,
adjusted earnings per share or adjusted tax rate to
projected net income, earnings per share or reported tax rate.
