NON-GAAP MEASURES
This report refers to certain non-generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial measures (adjusted diluted EPS). A reconciliation of those non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding financial measures contained in the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP is set forth below.
The 2020 adjusted EPS eliminates intangible amortization, certain targeted restructuring and other activities, novel coronavirus 2019 ("COVID-19") related costs and expenses, and certain tax items.
Management utilizes these adjusted financial measures to assess the run-rate of its continuing operations against those of prior periods without the distortion of these factors. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures will be useful to investors as well to assess the continuing strength of the Company's underlying operations. In addition, adjusted EPS is used as a criterion to measure and pay long-term incentive compensation. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
