ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis The J. M. Smucker Company NoN - G A AP Me A SureS We use non-GAAP financial measures including: net sales adjusted for the noncomparable impact of acquisition, divestiture, and foreign exchange; gross profit, operating income, income, and income per diluted share, excluding special project costs; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization; and free cash flow, as key measures for purposes of evaluating performance internally. We believe that these measures provide useful information to investors because they are the measures we use to evaluate performance on a comparable year-over-year basis. The special project costs relate to specific restructuring, merger and integration, and pension settlement projects that are each nonrecurring in nature and can significantly affect the year-overyear assessment of operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Rather, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures supplements other metrics we use to internally evaluate our businesses and facilitate the comparison of past and present operations and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and may exclude certain nondiscretionary expenses and cash payments. The following table reconciles certain non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure. See page 26 for a reconciliation of net sales adjusted for the noncomparable impact of acquisition, divestiture, and foreign exchange to the comparable GAAP financial measure. See page 31 for a reconciliation of free cash flow to the comparable GAAP financial measure.
