Non-GAAP Measures Management believes that the non‐GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding 2018 loss on investment in Persol Holdings is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2018 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that removing the impact of this item allows for a more meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. This non‐GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because it excludes items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management considers this measure, along withreportedresults,whenitreviewsandevaluatesthe Company's financial performance. Management believes that this measure provides greater transparency to investors and provides insight into how Management is evaluating the Company's financial performance. Non‐GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures is included with our earnings release dated August 8, 2018 and is available on our Investor Relations website. 15
