II. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Organic Growth (Decline). Adjusted Earnings per Share represents reported diluted earnings per share excluding an income tax adjustment for provisional estimates related to adoption of U.S. Tax Reform, inventory step up on HAY equity method investment, restructuring and impairment expenses, and other charges or gains, including related taxes. Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) represents reported operating earnings plus restructuring and impairment expenses, and other special charges. These items include certain restructuring and impairment expenses related to actions involving facilities consolidation and targeted workforce reductions, as well as special charges related to the CEO transition and third party consulting costs related to the company's profit enhancement initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by excluding depreciation and amortization from Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) and including other income and expenses, equity income and the inventory step up on HAY equity method investment. Organic Growth represents the change in sales and orders, excluding currency translation effects, the impact of reclassification related to the new revenue recognition standard (ASC 606), the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and changes in shipping terms. 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.
Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss), 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.
