I. Operating Segment Information

The table below summarizes select financial information, for the periods indicated, related to each of the company’s reportable operating segments. The North American Furniture Solutions segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture, and sale of furniture products for work-related settings, including office, education, and healthcare environments, throughout the United States and Canada. The business associated with the company's owned contract furniture dealers is also included in the North American Furniture Solutions segment. Herman Miller has renamed the international reportable business segment "ELA" in order to better describe the geographic regions it serves, which include EMEA, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. Prior to this name change, the company referred to this segment as "non-North America." ELA includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture, and sale of furniture products, primarily for work-related settings, in these aforementioned geographic regions.The Specialty and Consumer segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture, and sale of high-end furniture products including Geiger wood products, a collection of classic products, textiles, and our North American consumer retail business. The Corporate category consists primarily of unallocated corporate expenses including, if applicable to the periods shown, restructuring and impairment costs.

II. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures; including Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Earnings, and Organic Growth (Decline). Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted Operating Earnings are calculated by excluding from Earnings per Share and Operating Earnings items that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. For the periods covered by this release, such items consist of expenses associated with restructuring actions taken to adjust our cost structure to the current business climate and transition-related expenses, including amortization and settlement expenses, relating to defined benefit pension plans that we have terminated, as well as increases in cost of sales related to the fair value step-up of inventories acquired and changes in contingent consideration. We present Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted Operating Earnings because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe them to be useful in analyzing ongoing results from operations. Organic Growth (Decline) represents the change in revenue and orders, excluding currency translation effects, the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, and the impact of changes in pricing.

Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Earnings, and Organic Growth (Decline) are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to the related GAAP measurement. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In addition, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. We compensate for these limitations by providing equal prominence of our GAAP results.
