Appendix Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Financial Measures 13 We supplement our financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP with certain non - GAAP measures including Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, net, integration and acquisition expense s a nd other similar charges including any severance costs, costs associated with warehouse and office openings or closings, consolidation, and relocation an d other business optimization expenses, stock - based compensation expense, changes in the LIFO reserve, non - restructuring asset impairment charges , non - restructuring severance charges, non - restructuring pension charges, net, fair value adjustments related to contingent liabilities assumed in m ergers and acquisitions and certain other adjustments), free cash flow and other non - GAAP measures such as the Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio. We bel ieve investors commonly use Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and these other non - GAAP measures as key financial metrics for valuing companies. I n addition, the credit agreement governing our Asset - Based Lending Facility (the " ABL Facility") permits us to exclude the foregoing and other charges in calculating "Consolidated EBITDA", as defined in the ABL Facility. We approximate foreign currency effects by applying the foreign currency exchange rate for the prior period to the local currency results for the current period. Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and these other non - GAAP measures are not alternative measures of financial performance or liqui dity under U.S. GAAP. Non - GAAP measures do not have definitions under U.S. GAAP and may be defined differently by, and not be comparable to, sim ilarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, we consider and evaluate non - GAAP measures in connection with a review of the mos t directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non - GAAP me asures and to consider them with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and these other non - GAAP mea sures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as rep ort ed under U.S. GAAP. Please see the following tables for reconciliations of non - GAAP measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures. A reconciliation of the forecasted full year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range cannot be provided without unreasonable effo rts due to the uncertainty and variability on a forward - looking basis of certain items that impact net income including, but not limited to, restructuring charges, LIFO reserves, and taxes, any of which may be significant. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of prec isi on that would be confusing or misleading to investors.
