(1) This represents the net impact on net sales growth/ (decrease) from pricing actions, mix and other factors.
(2) Organic sales growth/ (decrease) is defined as net sales growth/ (decrease) excluding the effect of any acquisitions and divestitures and foreign exchange rate changes. See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for reconciliation of organic sales growth/ (decrease) to net sales growth/ (decrease), the most directly comparable GAAP financial information.
(3) Organic volume represents volume excluding the effect of any acquisitions and divestitures.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
Management believes that the presentation of organic sales growth / (decrease) is useful to investors because it excludes sales from any acquisitions and divestitures, which results in a comparison of sales only from the businesses that the company was operating throughout the relevant periods, and the impact of foreign exchange rate changes, which are out of the control of the company and management. However, organic sales growth / (decrease) may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded.

(1)In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, this schedule provides the definition of certain non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. Management uses free cash flow and free cash flow as a percentage of net sales to help assess the cash generation ability of the business and funds available for investing activities, such as acquisitions, investing in the business to drive growth, and financing activities, including debt payments, dividend payments and stock repurchases. Free cash flow does not represent cash available only for discretionary expenditures since the Company has mandatory debt service requirements and other contractual and non-discretionary expenditures. In addition, free cash flow may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be read in connection with the company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.

(1)EBIT (a non-GAAP measure) represents earnings before income taxes (a GAAP measure), excluding interest income and interest expense, as reported above.  EBIT margin is the ratio of EBIT to net sales.
(2)Adjusted EBIT (a non-GAAP measure) represents earnings before income taxes (a GAAP measure), excluding interest income, interest expense and other significant items that are nonrecurring or unusual, (such as significant losses/(gains) related to acquisitions, impairment charges and other nonrecurring or unusual items as reported above). Adjusted EBIT margin is the ratio of adjusted EBIT to net sales.
(3)In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, this schedule provides the definition of certain non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. Management believes the presentation of EBIT, EBIT margin, adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBIT margin provides useful additional information to investors about trends in the company's operations and is useful for period-over-period comparisons. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. They should be read in connection with the company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.

(4)On July 9, 2020, the company increased its investment in each of the two entities comprising its joint venture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Saudi joint venture). As a result of this transaction, a noncash nonrecurring net gain was recognized of $82 ($76 after tax) in Other (income) expense, net in the quarter ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to the remeasurement of the carrying value of the company’s previously held equity investment to fair value.

However, adjusted EPS may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation or differences in which items are incorporated into these adjustments.
