Q and A Session

32

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information


In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) included throughout this presentation, the Company has provided information regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include income before interest, other expense and income taxes, income before interest, other expense, income taxes, impairments, restructuring costs and other special items (core operating earnings) and free cash flow. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before the net change in sold accounts receivable, less capital expenditures. The Company believes it is appropriate to exclude the net change in sold accounts receivable in the calculation of free cash flow since the sale of receivables may be viewed as a substitute for borrowing activity. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Companys financial position and results of operations. In particular, management believes that income before interest, other expense and income taxes and core operating earnings are useful measures in assessing the Companys financial performance by excluding certain items that are not indicative of the Companys core operating earnings or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Companys continuing operating activities. Management also believes that these measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company's results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal periods. Management believes that free cash flow is useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Companys ability to service and repay its debt. Further, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting in future periods. Income before interest, other expense and income taxes, core operating earnings and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for net income (loss), cash provided by operating activities or other income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as measures of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of free cash flow does not reflect cash used to service debt and therefore, does not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses. Also, these non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by the Company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Set forth on the following slides are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Given the inherent uncertainty regarding special items in any future period, a reconciliation of forward-looking statements is not feasible. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant.
