costs can be offset with productivity measures and/or passed on to customers through selling price increases, without
a significant loss of volume; (3) competitors' actions, including pricing, expansion in key markets, and product
offerings; and (4) tax laws, regulations, and audits throughout the world.

these
and

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This
presentation
contains
certain
non-GAAP
financial
measures
as
defined
by
SEC
rules.
Reconciliations
of non-GAAP financial
measures
to
the
most
directly
comparable
GAAP
financial
measures
are included with the financial schedules accompanying the
earnings
news
release
for
the
quarter,
along
with
certain
supplemental
analysis
provided
in
this
document.
(See
Attachments
A-2
through A-5 to Exhibit 99.1, news release dated July 26, 2011.)
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain events, activities or strategic decisions.  The
accounting effects of these events, activities or decisions, which are included in the GAAP financial measures, may make it
difficult to
assess
the
underlying
performance
of
the
Company
in
a single period.  By excluding certain accounting effects, both
positive and negative, of certain items (e.g. restructuring costs, asset impairments, legal settlements, certain effects of strategic
transactions and related costs, loss from debt extinguishments, loss from curtailment and settlement of pension obligations, gains
or losses on sale of certain assets and other items) from certain of the Company’s GAAP financial measures, the Company
believes that it is providing meaningful supplemental information to facilitate an understanding of the Company’s core or
underlying operating results and liquidity measures.  These non-GAAP financial measures are used internally to evaluate trends in
the Company’s underlying business, as well as to facilitate comparison to the results of competitors for a single period. While
some of the items the Company excludes from GAAP financial measures recur, these items tend to be disparate in amount,
frequency and timing.  The Company adjusted the estimated GAAP tax rate to exclude the full year estimated tax effect of
restructuring costs and other
items
to
determine
its
adjusted
non-GAAP
tax
rate
to
derive
non-GAAP net income.  (See
Attachment
A-2
to
Exhibit
99.1
for
a
discussion
of
limitations
associated
with
the
use
of
these non-GAAP financial
measures.)
The Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation:
Organic
sales
change
refers
to
the
increase
or
decrease
in
sales
excluding
the
estimated
impact
of
currency
translation;
Operating
margin
(non-GAAP)
refers
to
earnings
before
taxes
and
interest
expense,
excluding
restructuring
costs
and
other
items, as a percentage of sales;
Adjusted
(non-GAAP)
EPS
refers
to
as
reported
net
income
per
common
share,
assuming
dilution,
adjusted
for
the
full
year
estimated tax effect of restructuring costs and other items; and
Free
cash
flow
refers
to
cash
flow
from
operations,
less
net
payments
for
property,
plant,
and
equipment,
software
and
other
deferred charges, plus net proceeds from sale (purchase) of investments. Free cash flow excludes mandatory debt service  
requirements and other uses of cash that do not directly or immediately support the underlying business (such as discretionary
debt reductions, dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions, etc.).
