Additional 402(v) Disclosure In calculating the ‘compensation actually paid’ amounts reflected in these columns, the fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of the equity award adjustments included in such calculations was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. This valuation assumption used to calculate such fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant. We do not have pensions in the U.S.; therefore, an adjustment to the 2025 Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) totals related to pension value for any of the years reflected in this table is not needed. The most important performance measures include our company selected measure and the two financial metrics used for long-term incentive awards with performance-based vesting, as described in the section titled "—Elements of our Compensation Program—Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Program". Each of these measures is a critical operational metric reported to shareholders. See footnote (7) above for the definition of adjusted operating profit. Adjusted EPS - diluted is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted net income is defined as income from continuing operations before amortization of acquired intangible assets (net of tax), discrete tax items and other items that are non-recurring (net of tax). See the section titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliations and Supplementary Information” for more information. ROCE is defined as adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”) divided by average capital employed. Adjusted EBIT is defined as operating profit excluding certain non-recurring items (non-GAAP adjustments), as further described in the section titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliations and Supplementary Information,” and including the impact of acquisition related intangible amortization. Average capital employed is defined as the sum of average net debt and average shareholders’ equity and excludes average assets held for sale. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliations and Supplementary Information” for more information.

Non-GAAP Measure Description Our company-selected measure, which is the measure we believe represents the most important financial performance not otherwise presented in the table above that we use to link CAP to our NEOs for fiscal 2025 to our Company’s performance, is adjusted operating profit, a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit before acquisition related intangible amortization and certain other non-GAAP adjustments, as further described in the section titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliations and Supplementary Information.”
