1 The Company is not providing a reconciliation of certain
forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS, because the Company is unable to
predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of certain
significant items, including restructuring activity and asset
impairment charges, share-based compensation expenses, non-cash
impacts of LIFO reserve adjustments, losses on extinguishments of
debt, business transformation costs, other gains and losses,
business acquisition and integration related costs and diluted
earnings per share. These items are uncertain, depend on various
factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results
for the guidance periods. For the same reasons, the Company is
unable to address the significance of the unavailable information,
which could be material to future results.
