FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS AND SCORECARD FOOTNOTES
(b) The Company has excluded the , , and  after-tax merger and acquisition-
related charges of $ million ($. of diluted EPS), $ million ($. of diluted
EPS), and $ million ($. of diluted EPS), respectively, in the calculation of diluted
EPS. These amounts were excluded because the Company believes doing so provides
a better indicator of operating trends when analyzing diluted EPS, due to the unusually
large magnitude of these charges and the fact that they are non-recurring. Therefore,
the Company has provided these measures both including and excluding such charges.
(c) Free Cash Flow = Net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures.
(d) Working Capital turns are computed as year-end working capital (accounts receivable,
inventory, accounts payable, and deferred revenue) divided by fourth quarter sales,
annualized.
(e) Average Capital Employed is computed as the -point average of debt and equity.
(f) CFROI is computed as cash from operations plus after-tax expense, divided by the
-point average of debt and equity.
