1. Organic Sales Growth:
Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of sales growth excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We believe this provides investors with a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. Organic sales is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. The reconciliation of reported sales growth to organic sales is as follows:

AMJ 2012 | -1% | 4% | 0% | 3% | |||

*Acquisition/Divestiture Impact includes rounding impacts necessary to reconcile net sales to organic sales.
2. Core EPS: This is a measure of the Company’s diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding certain items that are not judged to be part of the Company’s sustainable results or trends. This includes FY 2013 holding gain on the buyout of our Iberian joint venture, FY 2013 and 2012 charges related to incremental restructuring due to increased focus on productivity and cost savings, FY 2013 charge from the balance sheet impact of the Venezuela devaluation, charges in FY’s 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010 related to European legal matters, FY 2013 and 2012 impairment charges for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, a significant benefit in FY 2011 from the settlement of U.S. tax litigation primarily related to the valuation of technology donations, a FY 2010 charge related to a tax provision for retiree healthcare subsidy payments in the U.S. healthcare reform legislation, and incremental restructuring charges in FY 2009 to offset the dilutive impact of the Folgers divestiture. We believe the Core EPS measure provides an important perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides a more comparable measure of year-on-year earnings per share growth. Core EPS is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. The tables below provide a reconciliation of diluted net earnings per share to Core EPS:

7. Free Cash Flow:
Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital spending. We view free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor in determining the amount of cash available for dividends and discretionary investment. Free cash flow is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. The reconciliation of free cash flow is provided below (amounts in millions):
Operating Cash Flow | Capital Spending | Free Cash Flow | |
AMJ 2013 | $4,392 | ($1,582) | $2,810 |
FY 2013 | $14,873 | ($4,008) | $10,865 |
8. Free Cash Flow Productivity / Adjusted Free Cash Flow Productivity:
Free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings. Adjusted free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings excluding the gains from major divestitures and impairment charges. Given the size of these gains and the impairment charges, as well as our view that they are not part of our sustainable results, we have excluded these from our calculation. We believe this provides a better perspective of our underlying liquidity trends. The Company’s long-term target is to generate free cash flow at or above 90 percent of net earnings. We view free cash flow productivity and adjusted free cash flow productivity as important measures because they are factors in determining the amount of cash available for dividends and discretionary investment. Free cash flow productivity and adjusted free cash flow productivity are also measures used to evaluate senior management and are factors in determining their at-risk compensation. The reconciliation of free cash flow productivity and adjusted free cash flow productivity is provided below (amounts in millions):
Free Cash Flow | Net Earnings | Gain on buyout of Iberian JV | Impairment Charges | Net Earnings excluding Gain and Impairment | Adjusted Free Cash Flow Productivity | |
FY 2013 | $10,865 | $11,402 | $623 | ($290) | $11,069 | 98% |
Free Cash Flow | Net Earnings | Free Cash Flow Productivity | |
FY 2013 | $10,865 | $11,402 | 95% |
