| 1 Q4 - 19 and 2019 Earnings Call February 6, 2020

 

 

| 2 | 2 This press release contains forward - looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “could” “predict” and similar expressions, and the negatives thereof, often identify forward - looking statements, which are not limited to historical facts. Forward - looking statements include, among other things, guidance for first quarter 2020 results; statements, express or implied, concerning future operating results or margins, the ability to generate sales and income or cash flow, and expected revenue mix; and Benchmark’s business and growth strategies. Although Benchmark believes these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they involve risks and uncertainties relating to operations, markets and the business environment generally. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materializes, or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated. Readers are advised to consult further disclosures on these risks and uncertainties, particularly in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10 - Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and in its subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward - looking statements included in this document are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this document, and it assumes no obligation to update them. . This document includes certain financial measures that exclude items and therefore are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A detailed reconciliation between GAAP results and results excluding special items (“non - GAAP”) is included in the Appendix of this document. Management discloses non - GAAP information to provide investors with additional information to analyze the Company’s performance and underlying trends. Management uses non - GAAP measures that exclude certain items in order to better assess operating performance and help investors compare results with our previous guidance. This document also references “free cash flow”, which the Company defines as cash flow from operations less additions to property, plant and equipment and purchased software. The Company’s non - GAAP information is not necessarily comparable to the non - GAAP information used by other companies. Non - GAAP information should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other data prepared in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity. Readers should consider the types of events and transactions for which adjustments have been made. Forward - Looking Statements Non - GAAP Financial Information
