In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the press release, commentary and summary results and guidance furnished herewith contain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted selling, general and administrative expense, operating earnings, pretax earnings, earnings from continuing operations and earnings per share from continuing operations, as discussed in the text of the release and commentary and as detailed on the reconciliation schedule attached to the press release and commentary.
