Non-GAAP Measure Description   The Company calculates “CROCE,” or Cash Return on Capital Employed, by dividing the Company's net cash provided by operating activities from its Statements of Cash Flows, excluding changes in working capital (referred to as Adjusted Cash Flows From Operations, or "ACFFO"), by the Company's average total debt and stockholders' equity for each calendar year, with average total debt and stockholders' equity being based on the simple average of such values as of the first and last day of the applicable calendar year. See Appendix A for additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measures.
