Our disclosures in this presentation, including without limitation, those relating to future financial results
guidance,
and
in
our
other
public
documents
and
comments
contain
forward-looking
statements
within
the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  Those statements provide our future expectations or
forecasts and can be identified by our use of words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend,"
"plan," "believe," "outlook," "target," "predict," "may," "will," "would," "could," "should," "seek," and other words or
phrases of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. 
Forward-looking statements, by their nature, address matters that are uncertain and involve risks because they
relate
to
events
and
depend
on
circumstances
that
may
or
may
not
occur
in
the
future.
As
a
result,
our
actual
results
may
differ
materially
from
our
expected
results
and
from
those
expressed
in
our
forward-looking
statements.  A more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our ability to achieve the
projected
performance
is
included
in
the
“Risk
Factors”
and
“Management’s
Discussion
and
Analysis”
sections
of our reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the
date they are made.  We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements beyond what is
required under applicable securities law.
In
addition,
we
will
be
referring
to
non-GAAP
financial
measures
within
the
meaning
of
SEC
Regulation
G.
A
reconciliation of the differences between these measures with the most directly comparable financial measures
calculated in accordance with GAAP are included within this presentation and available on the Investor
Relations page of our website at
The guidance in this presentation is only effective as of the date given, October 27, 2014, and will not be
updated or affirmed unless and until we publicly announce updated or affirmed guidance.

All
figures
throughout
the
presentation
are
in
$
millions
unless
otherwise
noted.
Figures
may
not
add
due
to
rounding.
When reporting our financial results within this presentation, we make several adjustments.
Management uses the non-GAAP measures below in managing the business and believes the
adjustments provide meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods.  As reported
results will be footnoted throughout the presentation. 
Basis of Presentation Explanation
We report in comparable dollars to remove
the effects of currency translation on the
P&L.  The budgeted exchange rate for 2014
is used for all currency translations in 2014
and prior years. Guidance is presented using
the 2014 budgeted exchange rate for the
year.  
We remove the impact of discrete expenses
and income.  Examples include plant
closures, restructuring actions, and other
large unusual items. 
Taxes for normalized Net Income and EPS
are calculated using a constant 39% for 2014
results and guidance, and 2013 results,
which are based on the expected full year
historical tax rate.
