(2) We are not able to provide a reconciliation between forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP Net income as we cannot, without unreasonable effort, forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP Net Income and predict certain components of such reconciliation as they arise from events in future periods. This is due to the unpredictable nature of these reconciling items, which would require an unreasonable effort to forecast, and would result in a large range of projected values that would not be meaningful to investors. See Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of SEC Regulation S-K. (3) Excludes certain costs expected to be incurred related to the Transformation Program. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this release. (4) Changes in foreign currency exchange rates
