1 - See Note 1 below for Non-GAAP adjustments to net sales, gross profit and operating expenses, which include selling and administrative expenses, research, development and engineering expenses, gain/loss on sale of assets, net, and impairment of assets, and Note 2 for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss).
2 - With respect to the company’s adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow conversion (free cash flow / adjusted EBITDA) outlook for 2024, it is not providing reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty those items that may affect such measures calculated and presented by GAAP without unreasonable effort. These measures primarily exclude future restructuring and refinancing actions and net non-routine items. These reconciling items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, operating profit and net income calculated and presented by GAAP.
