Non-GAAP Measures Management believes that the non‐GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the 2018 loss on investment in Persol Holdings, the effect of the 2017 U.S. tax law change and the 2017 restructuring charges is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2018 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that removing the impact of these items allows for a more meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. These non‐GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company's financial performance. Management believes that these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management is evaluating the Company's financial performance. Non‐GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures is included with our earnings release dated February 13, 2019 and is available on our Investor Relations website. 21
