Non-GAAP Measures Adj. EBITDA and Adj. EBIT (the “Non-GAAP Measures”) are performance measures that provide supplemental information that Middleby believes is useful to analysts and investors to evaluate ongoing results of operations, when considered alongside other GAAP measures such as net income, operating income and gross profit. These Non-GAAP Measures exclude the financial impact of items management does not consider in assessing the ongoing operating performance of Middleby and thereby facilitate review of its operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Other companies may have different capital structures and comparability to the results of operations of Middleby, which may be impacted by the effects of acquisition accounting on its depreciation and amortization. As a result of the effects of these factors and factors specific to other companies, Middleby believes these Non-GAAP Measures provide helpful information to analysts and investors to facilitate a comparison of their operating performance to that of other companies. The presentation of Non-GAAP Measures in this presentation should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
