FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than
statements of historical fact included in this presentation are forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements discuss our current expectations and
projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans,
objectives, future performance and business. These statements may be preceded
by, followed by or include the words "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate,"
"expect," "forecast," "intend," "likely," "outlook," "plan," "potential," "projection,"
"continue," "goal," "objective," "opportunity," "near-term," "long-term," "assumption,"
"project," "guidance," "target," "trend," "seek," "can," "could," "may," "should," "would,"
"will," the negatives thereof and other words and terms of similar meaning.
Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and
assumptions; they are not guarantees of performance. You should not place undue
reliance on these statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on
our current expectations and projections about future events. Although we believe
that our assumptions made in connection with the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot assure you that the assumptions and expectations will prove
to be correct. Factors that could contribute to these risks, uncertainties and
assumptions include, but are not limited to, the factors described in "Risk Factors" in
our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. All forward-looking statements
attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their
entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. In addition, all forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. We undertake no
obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise other than as required under
the federal securities laws.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To evaluate our performance, we monitor a number of key indicators at the
consolidated level and, in certain cases, at the segment level. As appropriate,
we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP
financial measurements that are used by management, and which we believe
are useful to investors, as supplemental operational measurements to evaluate
our financial performance. These measurements should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because they may include
or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measurements,
and such measurements may not be comparable to similarly-titled
measurements reported by other companies. Rather, these measurements
should be considered as an additional way of viewing aspects of our
operations that provide a more complete understanding of our business. We
do not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because
we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable
effort items such as acquisition-related charges, the costs associated with
integrating acquired businesses, the timing and amount of future restructuring
actions, and the early retirement of debt.
We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial
statements in their entirety and not rely solely on any one, single financial
measurement. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures is included in the
appendix of this presentation.
