potential unfavorable outcome of the ongoing tax dispute with the IRS could significantly change; increased or new indirect taxes in the United States and throughout the world; changes in laws and

weather conditions; and other risks discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020

and our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which filings are available from the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the

date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

RECONCILIATION TO U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following presentation includes certain "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined in Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A schedule which reconciles our results as reported

under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and the non-GAAP financial measures included in the following presentation is attached as an appendix hereto.

The 2021 outlook information provided in this presentation includes forward-lookingnon-GAAP financial measures, which management uses in measuring performance. The company is not able to

reconcile full year 2021 projected organic revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2021 projected reported net revenues, full year 2021 projected underlying effective tax rate (non-GAAP) to full year 2021

projected reported effective tax rate, full year 2021 projected comparable EPS (non-GAAP) to full year 2021 projected reported EPS or full year 2022 projected comparable cost of goods sold (non-

GAAP) to full year 2022 projected reported cost of goods sold without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of changes in

foreign currency exchange rates; the exact timing and amount of acquisitions, divestitures and/or structural changes; and the exact timing and amount of items impacting comparability throughout 2021.
