(1)The primary measure of segment operating performance is Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and select other items impacting operating results. These other items impacting operating results are items that management has concluded are (i) non-cash items included within net income, (ii) items the Company does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance or (iii) non-recurring, unusual or infrequent items that have not occurred within the last two years or the Company believes are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts and prior year financial results, providing a measure that management believes reflects the Company's core operating performance, which represents Segment EBITDA adjusted for the select items referred to above.
(a)Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to employee termination benefits, consulting, legal and other employee-related costs associated with restructuring programs and other employee-related costs. We do not consider these amounts indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(b)Represents merger and acquisition-related expenses, including costs related to financial, tax and legal advisory services, associated with both consummated and unconsummated transactions, all of which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(c)Represents costs related to the closure of certain manufacturing sites, including impairment charges, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(d)Represents foreign exchange losses resulting from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, net of the impacts of our foreign currency instruments used to hedge our balance sheet exposures.
(e)Represents the non-cash, non-service cost components of long-term employee benefit costs.
(f)Represents non-cash impacts associated with stock-based compensation.
(g)Represents (benefits) costs for certain non-operational or non-cash (gains) losses, net, unrelated to our core business and which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
