NON-GAAP MEASURES Management believes that the non‐GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the 2019 and 2018 gains and losses on the investment in Persol Holdings, the 2019 restructuring charges, the 2019 acquisitions, and the 2019 gain on sale of assets are useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2019 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that removing the impact of these items allows for a meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. Additionally, the Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle and the terms of each acquisition are unique and may vary significantly. Management also believes that such measures are used by those analyzing performance of companies in the staffing industry to compare current performance to prior periods and to assess future performance. 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 August 7, 2019 and is available on our Investor Relations website. 18
