This compares with previous local currency sales growth guidance of approximately 4% and Adjusted EPS guidance of $45.35 to $46.00. The Company does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the timing and amount of future restructuring and other non-recurring items.
