Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As a supplement to United States Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company provides
non-GAAP financial measures such as operating income before
provision for income taxes ("EBIT"), operating net income or
operating net loss, operating earnings per share ("EPS"), revenues
excluding foreign currency, adjusted operating income, Earnings
Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"),
Operating EBITDA and free cash flow to illustrate the Company's
operational performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not
prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not reported by all of the
Company's competitors and may not be directly comparable to
similarly-titled measures of the Company's competitors due to
potential differences in the exact method of calculation. However,
each of the amounts included in the calculation of non-GAAP
financial measures are computed in accordance with GAAP. See below
for reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial
measures (a) to evaluate the Company's historical and prospective
financial performance as well as its performance relative to its
competitors, (b) to set internal sales targets and associated
operating budgets, (c) to allocate resources and (d) to measure
operational profitability. Management uses similar non-GAAP
measures as an important factor in determining variable
compensation for Management and its team members.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in
accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP financial measures.
The Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP
financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP.
Operating EBIT, operating net income and
operating EPS
Management believes that operating EBIT, defined
by the Company as net income (loss) plus provision (benefit) for
income taxes and adjustments, operating net income, defined by the
Company as operating EBIT less operational income taxes, and
operating EPS, defined as operating net income divided by weighted
average common shares outstanding (diluted), provide investors
additional important information to enable them to assess, in the
way Management assesses, the Company's current and future
operations. Adjustments include intangibles amortization, which is
a non-cash charge, and restructuring expense and gains/losses on
sales of facilities, each of which are cash charges.
A reconciliation of Net income (loss) to
operating EBIT and Operating net income (loss) is presented
below:

Segment Information
Management is presented with and reviews
Revenues, Gross profit, Operating income (loss) and Adjusted
operating income by segment. Management believes that Adjusted
operating income, defined by the Company as Operating income (loss)
plus adjustments, provides investors additional important
information to enable them to assess, in the way Management
assesses, the Company's current and future operations. Adjustments
include intangibles amortization, which is a non-cash charge, and
restructuring expense and gains/losses on sales of facilities, each
of which are cash charges.

Adjusted operating income (by segment) is presented below:

EBITDA and Operating EBITDA
Management believes that EBITDA, defined as Net
income (loss) plus provision (benefit) for income taxes, interest,
depreciation and amortization, is a widely-accepted measure of
profitability that may be used to measure the Company's ability to
service its debt. Operating EBITDA, defined as EBITDA plus stock
compensation expense, accounts receivable impairment loss,
inventory impairment loss, and asset impairment loss (consisting of
fixed assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill) may
also be used to measure the Company's ability to service its
debt.
A reconciliation of Net income (loss) to EBITDA
and Operating EBITDA is presented below:

Pursuant to the First Amendment to its Credit
Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), the Company was required to
maintain a minimum trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) of $17.0 million at the end of the
second quarter of Fiscal 2018. Actual trailing twelve month
Adjusted EBITDA for the period was $24.3 million, or $7.3 million
higher than the required minimum. The Adjusted EBITDA
definition in the Credit Agreement incorporates Operating EBITDA
and adds back ERP implementation costs and certain other
charges.
Free cash flow
Management believes that free cash flow, defined
by the Company as Net cash provided by (used for) operating
activities less net capital expenditures, plus or minus Foreign
currency exchange impact on cash, plus Proceeds from stock option
exercises, is an important measurement of liquidity as it
represents the total cash available to the Company.
A reconciliation of Net cash provided by (used
for) operating activities to free cash flow is presented below:
