     Free cash flow as a percentage of net sales – non-GAAP (1) 5.4% 4.0%

(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 percentage of net 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)      EBIT (a non-GAAP measure) represents earnings from continuing operations before income taxes (a GAAP measure), excluding interest income and interest expense, as reported above. EBIT margin is the ratio of EBIT to net sales.
(2) EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) represents earnings from continuing operations before income taxes (a GAAP measure), excluding interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, as reported above. EBITDA margin is the ratio of EBITDA to net sales.
(3) 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 believes the presentation of EBIT, EBIT margin, EBITDA, EBITDA margin and debt to EBITDA provides additional useful information to investors about current trends in the business.
(4) Total debt represents the sum of notes and loans payable, current maturities of long-term debt, and long-term debt. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Cost”, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 and retrospectively applied the standard to all periods presented.
(5) Debt to EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) represents total debt divided by EBITDA for the trailing four quarters.
