A copy of the news release is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. All information in the news release is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise be subject to the liability of that Section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporated it by reference.
The news release furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 includes an adjusted earnings per share amount that excludes a one-time net favorable tax benefit, restructuring and acquisition-related costs, loss on extinguishment of debt and an accrual related to a litigation award in China. Also included for purposes of comparison is an adjusted earnings per share amount for the three months ended December 31, 2016, which excludes certain restructuring and acquisition-related costs, and an adjusted earnings per share amount for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, which excludes certain restructuring and acquisition-related costs and asset impairments. In addition, with respect to the Company’s full year earnings outlook, the Company uses an adjusted earnings per share amount that excludes restructuring and acquisition-related costs. These adjusted earnings per share measures are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are referred to as “non-GAAP financial measures” in Regulation G under the Exchange Act. The Company believes these adjusted earnings per share amounts are of interest to investors and facilitate useful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s financial results, and this information is used by the Company in evaluating internal performance. The adjusted earnings per share amounts are reconciled to earnings per share in a table at the end of the news release, except for the adjusted earnings per share amount included in the full year outlook, which the Company is not able to reconcile because certain items have not yet occurred or are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted.
