Fiscal Fiscal

2015 2014
Net cash provided by continuing operations – GAAP $267 $222
Less: Capital expenditures 60 63
Free cash flow – non-GAAP (1) $207 $159
       Free cash flow as a percent of sales – non-GAAP (1) 7.7% 6.0%
Net sales $2,697 $2,651

(1)      In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, this schedule provides the definition of certain non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. Management uses free cash flow and free cash flow as a percent of sales to help assess the cash generation ability of the business and funds available for investing activities, such as acquisitions, investing in the business to drive growth, and financing activities, including debt payments, dividend payments and share repurchases. Free cash flow does not represent cash available only for discretionary expenditures, since the Company has mandatory debt service requirements and other contractual and non-discretionary expenditures. In addition, free cash flow may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded.
