Such statements may contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “predict,” “seek,” “continue,” “outlook,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “can have,” “have,” “likely,” “potential,” “target,” “indicative,” “illustrative,” and variations of such words and similar expressions.
The absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Such statements are based on the Company’s expectations, intentions, and projections regarding its future performance, anticipated events or trends, and other matters that are not historical facts.
This document contains non-U.S. GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G. Management uses these measures to evaluate the Company's performance and believes they are useful to investors because they (a) reflect the same tools management uses to assess performance and prospects, (b) facilitate peer comparison, (c) provide consistent period-to-period comparisons, and (d) in the case of adjusted EBITDA, determine certain elements of executive incentive compensation.
Adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted EPS exclude amortization of intangible assets, restructuring costs, contingent consideration and compensation, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, systems and business enablement expenses, business process transformation expenses, and other miscellaneous items, as further described in the reconciliation tables.
These adjustments remove items management does not consider indicative of the Company's core ongoing operational performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, further adjusted to exclude the same items listed above plus non-service pension cost.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues.
Organic net revenue growth excludes the impacts of material acquisitions, material divestitures, and foreign currency translation from year-over-year revenue comparisons.
Fixed currency measures translate results at exchange rates established by management at the beginning of 2026.
An acquisition or divestiture is considered material based on management's assessment of its significance to comparability; this threshold is applied consistently across periods.
Adjusted free cash flow is cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for the cash impact of the same items excluded from adjusted EBITDA, less capital expenditures.
Adjusted free cash flow conversion is adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted net income.
Net leverage ratio is calculated in accordance with the Company’s debt agreements and includes pro forma adjustments for acquisitions and cost savings not reflected in adjusted EBITDA; see the Company’s SEC filings for the covenant EBITDA definition.
These measures are supplemental and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP financial measures, and may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this document.
The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA, organic net revenue growth, and adjusted free cash flow conversion to GAAP without unreasonable effort, as the amounts and timing of reconciling items – including acquisition-related costs, systems and business enablement expenses, and other charges – are inherently uncertain and could be significant.
18 boilerplate lines (safe-harbor disclaimer, contacts, call details) are set aside.
