ADJUSTED SALES GROWTH
Management believes that presentation of sales growth, adjusted to eliminate the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and the impact of currency translation, provides useful information to investors because it enhances comparability between the current year and prior year reporting periods. Elimination of the currency translation effect provides constant currency comparisons without the distortion of currency rate fluctuations.
