NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This release references “organic revenue growth,” “adjusted operating profit margin,” “adjusted diluted EPS,” and “adjusted free cash flow conversion,” which are non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of each of the projected organic revenue growth, adjusted operating profit margin, adjusted diluted EPS, and adjusted free cash flow conversion, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because the company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide each reconciliation is due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from the non-GAAP measure.
