The presentation contains disclosure regarding free cash flow, which is defined as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. Our management believes that free cash flow can be a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating the cash flow performance of multi-industrial companies, since it provides insight into the amount of cash available to fund such things as equity repurchases, dividends, debt reduction and acquisitions or other strategic investments. In addition, free cash flow is one of the factors used by our management in internal evaluations of the overall performance of our business. Free cash flow, however, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, should not be considered a substitute for cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, free cash flow is not a direct measure of cash flow available for discretionary spending, since non-discretionary expenditures, such as debt service, are not deducted from free cash flow.

 

The presentation contains disclosure regarding organic revenue growth, which is defined as revenue growth excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations and acquisitions and divestitures.  Our management believes that this metric can be a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating the normal operating performance of the company for the periods presented because it excludes items that are either not completely under management’s control or not an accurate reflection of the underlying growth of the company.  In addition, organic revenue growth is one of the factors used by our management in internal evaluations of the overall performance of our business.  This metric, however, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for revenue growth as determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

The presentation contains disclosure regarding EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and ratios related to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.  EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA less special charges, non-cash asset impairments, non-cash pension expense (income), non-cash stock compensation expense, inventory write-downs, a note receivable write-off, non-cash expenses related to executive retirement and other non-recurring non-cash items.  Our management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA can be useful financial measures for investors in evaluating the earnings performance and cash generation of multi-industrial companies, since they provide insight into the amount of cash generated to fund such things as equity repurchases, dividends, debt reduction and acquisitions or other strategic investments. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are two of the factors used by our management in internal evaluations of the overall performance of our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, however, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, should not be considered a substitute for net income or income from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

 

The presentation also includes pro forma 2004 balance sheet items.  The pro forma 2004 balance sheet items are financial results for 2004 excluding discontinued operations and assuming $1.7 billion of debt repurchased and 10 million shares of common stock repurchased at $45 per share.  Our management believes that the pro forma 2004 financial results can be useful

The pro forma 2006E growth percentages, however, are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP measures.
