Forward-looking Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Adjusted EBITDA margin is not a measure defined in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This non-GAAP measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for the applicable GAAP measure, and may be different from similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net earnings excluding interest expense, the provision or benefit for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, other income and expense, restructuring expenses, impairment charges, and certain other gains or charges. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA margin provides a relevant measure of profitability and earnings power and views it as being useful in assessing operating performance by excluding certain items that it believes are not representative of its core business.

The Company's fiscal 2027 target for adjusted EBITDA margin excludes the impact of certain cash and non-cash expenses or gains. These expenses and gains may be significant and include items such as restructuring expenses (including severance and equipment transfer costs), acquisition and integration costs, impairment charges and certain other items. Estimates of these expenses and gains for fiscal 2027 are not available due to the low visibility and unpredictability of these items.
