  1. Targets off 2019 base. Sales and adjusted EBITDA targets reflect organic business growth; adjusted EPS target includes the potential impact of future M&A and share repurchases.

  2. No reconciliations of the forecasted ranges for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS are included in this presentation because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.



  3. Any reference to sales refers to net sales inclusive of allowances and deductions against gross sales.

  4. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation & amortization (EBITDA), adjusted for matters affecting comparability.

  5. Earnings per share (EPS), adjusted for matters affecting comparability.
