Appendix: Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

Appendix: Definitions

  • 1. Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is calculated by dividing the Company's last twelve months after-tax Non-GAAP operating income by the net invested capital asset base as of each
  • date. After-tax non-GAAP operating income excludes charges for stock-based compensation expense, contingencies, distressed customer asset impairment, and certain other charges
  • r income. The net invested capital asset base is defined as the sum of shareholders' equity plus total debt less cash and cash equivalents averaged over the last five quarters. We

believe ROIC is a useful measure in providing investors with information regarding our performance. ROIC is a widely accepted measure of earnings efficiency in relation to total capital

  • employed. We believe that increasing the return on total capital employed, as measured by ROIC, is an effective method to sustain and increase shareholder value. ROIC is not a

measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. ROIC should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or loss as an indicator of performance.

  • 2. Corporate services and other: corporate service costs that are not included in the assessment of the performance of each of the identified business groups.
  • 3. Net Working Capital is calculated as accounts receivable (AR), net adding back the reduction in AR resulting from the non-cash AR sales plus inventories less accounts payable.
