Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company presents non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations and non- GAAP effective tax rate from continuing operations (and presentations derived from these financial measures) on a forward- looking basis. The most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures are earnings from continuing operations and effective tax rate from continuing operations. The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non- GAAP measures to the most comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because the Company cannot reliably forecast special items, impairments, (gain)/loss on sale of assets and other, net and Other Spin-Off Costs, which are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events. Please note
that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the Company's future financial results.
