Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Consolidated Results of Operations
Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 24

1.     Please remove the total segment profit and total segment profit margin
non-GAAP
       measures from your filings or remove the corporate expense adjustment,
since this
       adjustment appears to result in the exclusion of normal, recurring, cash
operating
       expenses from these non-GAAP measures. Refer to Questions 100.01 and
104.04 of the
       Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.
Consolidated Financial Statements
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page 41

2.     Please revise the other assets and liabilities line item to present
changes in other assets
       separately from other liabilities and further breakout any material
components. Also,
       present acquisitions separately from other investing activities and
further breakout any
       material components. Refer to ASC 230-10-45-7 and 45-29.

3.     Please disclose in greater detail the types of amounts included in the
corporate expense
       line item of your segment reconciliation. Refer to ASC 280-10-50-31.
Also, revise your
       management's discussion and analysis section to discuss with
quantification the business
       reasons for material changes between periods in (a) each segment's
profit and (b) any
       material reconciling items of the segment reconciliation in Note 2, such
as corporate
       expense. In circumstances where there are more than one business reason
for the change,
       such as in your Industrial segment discussion on page 24, please
quantify the incremental
       impact of each individual business reason discussed on the overall
change in the line item.
       Refer to Item 303 of Regulation S-K and SEC Release No. 33-8350.
        We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.
