Non-GAAP Appendix Adjusted SG & A Adjusted SG&A expenses (non-GAAP) represents selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A expenses") (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure), adjusted to exclude separation-related costs, IPO-related costs and certain costs primarily related to legal and other professional fees relating to legal and governmental proceedings, investigations and information requests respecting certain of our distribution, marketing, pricing, disclosure and accounting practices and separation-related and IPO-related costs. See the discussion under "Other Non-GAAP charges" above. Management uses Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP), along with GAAP measures, as a supplemental measure for period-to-period comparison to understand and evaluate each segment's ability to control costs and direct additional cash investments in each business. The Company believes that Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP) is useful to investors as it provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our SG&A expenses, and operations, as this measure eliminates the effects of separation-related costs, IPO-related costs and legal and other professional fees which given their nature and frequency, are outside the ordinary course and relate to unique circumstances. Adjusted Tax Rate Adjusted Tax Rate (the most directly comparable financial measure for which is our GAAP tax rate) includes the tax impact of the various non-GAAP adjustments used in calculating our non-GAAP measures. However, due to the differences in the tax treatment of items excluded from non-GAAP earnings, our adjusted tax rate will differ from our GAAP tax rate and from our actual tax liabilities. Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) Adjusted earnings per share or Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) is calculated as Diluted income per share attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation ("GAAP EPS") (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure), adjusted for the per diluted share impact of each adjustment made to reconcile Net income to Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) as discussed above. Like Adjusted net income (non-GAAP), Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of certain items that may obscure trends in the Company's underlying performance on a per share basis. By disclosing this non-GAAP measure, it is management's intention to provide investors with a meaningful, supplemental comparison of the Company's results and trends for the periods presented on a diluted share basis. Accordingly, the Company believes that Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) is useful to investors in their assessment of the Company's operating performance, the valuation of the Company and an investor's return on investment. It is also noted that, for the periods presented, our GAAP EPS was significantly lower than our Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP). 40
