II. Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA and Organic Growth (Decline). Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by excluding depreciation and amortization from operating earnings and including other income and expenses. Organic Growth (Decline) represents the change in sales and orders, excluding currency translation effects and the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and the extra week in fiscal 2017. The company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful for investors as they provide financial information on a more comparative basis for the periods presented. The nine months ended March 4, 2017 included 40 weeks of operations as compared to a standard 39-week period. The additional week is required periodically in order to more closely align Herman Miller’s fiscal year with the calendar months.

Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA 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. 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.
