NON-GAAP MEASURES

 Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, other financial
 measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The
 company’s methods of determining these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used
 by other companies for these or similar non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, these non-GAAP
 financial measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies. Investors are advised
 to carefully review and consider this information as well as the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in
 the company’s earnings releases and annual and quarterly SEC filings.

RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL (ROIC)
      Management is using non-GAAP financial measures in this document because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of the company’s
      performance. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the company’s
      financial and operating performance.

      The company defines ROIC as the trailing four quarters’ after tax operating profit, utilizing the company's adjusted effective tax rate, excluding discrete Q4 2017 income
      tax items affecting comparability of results from period to period, divided by the total invested capital, which is the average of ending debt and equity for the last five
      quarters. The company believes ROIC is a useful measure of how effectively the company uses capital to generate profits.
