Non-GAAP Financial Measure. The information included in this presentation includes the non-GAAP financial measure of free cash flow. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth in the appendix. The company believes that free cash flow is a useful measure of its ability to generate cash. The company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is commonly used by financial analysts and others in the industries in which we operate, and thus further provides useful information to investors. Management uses this measure when assessing the performance of the business and for business planning purposes. Note that our definition of this non-GAAP financial measure may differ from those terms as defined or used by other companies.

Littelfuse provides some guidance on a non-GAAP (adjusted) basis. GAAP items excluded may include the after-tax impact of items including acquisition and integration costs, restructuring, impairment and other charges, certain purchase accounting adjustments, non-operating foreign exchange adjustments and significant and unusual items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP. Littelfuse is not able to estimate the excluded items in order to provide the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.
