average accounts payable / [(cost of products sold + change in inventory)
/ 90]. | |
| (2) | Working capital (WC) is defined in this context as
current assets minus current liabilities excluding cash and short-term
debt, based on end of period balances. Average working capital represents
a two-point average of working capital. | |
| (3) | Represents working capital at the end of the period
divided by annualized net sales (current
quarter net sales x 4). | |
| (4) | Represents a two-point average of working capital
divided by annualized net sales (current
quarter net sales x 4). | |

| (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. |

| (1) | In accordance with the SEC’s Item 10(e) of Regulations S-K, this schedule provides the definition of a non-GAAP measure and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. Economic profit (EP) is defined by the Company as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, excluding noncash U.S. GAAP restructuring and intangible asset impairment costs, and interest expense; less an amount of tax based on the effective tax rate, and less a charge equal to average capital employed multiplied by the weighted-average cost of capital. EP is a key financial metric the Company’s management uses to evaluate business performance and allocate resources, and is a component in determining management’s incentive compensation. The Company’s management believes EP provides additional perspective to investors about financial returns generated by the business and represents profit generated over and above the cost of capital used by the business to generate that profit. |
| (2) | The tax rate applied is the effective tax rate on continuing operations, which was 34.2%, 34.6% and 32.7% in fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
| (3) | Total capital employed represents total assets less non-interest bearing liabilities. Adjusted capital employed represents total capital employed adjusted to add back current year noncash U.S. GAAP restructuring and intangible asset impairment costs. Average capital employed represents a two-point average of adjusted capital employed for the current year and total capital employed for the prior year, based on year-end balances. See below for details of the average capital employed calculation: |

| Average capital employed | $ | 2,393 | $ | 2,494 | $ | 2,552 | |||
| (4) | Capital charge represents average capital employed multiplied by the weighted-average cost of capital. The weighted-average cost of capital used to calculate capital charge was 9% for all fiscal years presented. The calculation of capital charge includes the impact of rounding numbers. |
