Safe Harbor Statement
All figures throughout the presentation are in $ millions unless otherwise noted. Figures may not add due to rounding. When reporting our financial results within this presentation, we make several adjustments. Management uses the non-GAAP measures below in managing the business and believes the adjustments provide meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods. As reported results will be footnoted throughout the presentation. Basis of Presentation Explanation We report in comparable dollars to remove the effects of currency translation on the P&L. The budgeted exchange rate for 2016 is used for all currency translations in 2016 and prior years. Guidance is presented using the 2016 budgeted exchange rate for the year. We remove the impact of discrete expenses and income. Examples include plant closures, restructuring actions, separation costs and other large unusual items. We also remove the non-cash impact of our U.S. Pension Plan. Taxes for normalized Net Income and EPS are calculated using a constant 39% for 2016 guidance, and 2016 and 2015 results, which are based on the expected long term tax rate. Results throughout this presentation are presented on a continuing operations basis. As a result of the April 1, 2016 AFI separation, the majority of the AWI corporate support functions were incorporated into the Americas segment. Results throughout this presentation reflect the allocation of corporate costs into the segments and were held constant in 2015 for comparability purposes.
