Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 29
Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains references to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to G&W, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Common Share (EPS), Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Ratio, the Adjusted Free Cash Flow measures of Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Attributable to G&W, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Attributable to G&W and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Attributable to G&W Before New Business Investments and Grant Funded Projects, and Net Adjusted Debt to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), which are non- GAAP financial measures as this term is defined in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In accordance with these rules, G&W has reconciled these non-gaap financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Management views these non-gaap financial measures as important measures of G&W s operating performance or, in the case of the Adjusted Free Cash Flow measures, important financial measures of how well G&W is managing its assets and a useful indicator of cash flow that may be available for discretionary use by G&W. Management also views these non-gaap financial measures as a way to assess comparability between periods. Key limitations of the Adjusted Free Cash Flow measures include the assumptions that G&W will be able to refinance its existing debt when it matures and meet other cash flow obligations from financing activities, such as principal payments on debt. These non-gaap financial measures are not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, their most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-gaap financial measures may be different from similarly-titled non-gaap financial measures used by other companies. The following tables set forth reconciliations of each of these non-gaap financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure (in millions, except percentages and per share amounts). 30
