Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management believes the disclosure of certain non-GAAP financial measures enhances investor understanding of our financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report include: EBITDA, Pro Forma Revenue and Pro Forma Operating Income.

EBITDA is presented here not as an alternative to net income, but rather as a measure of the Company's operating performance and is not intended to be a presentation in accordance with GAAP. Since EBITDA (generally, net income plus interest expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is not calculated identically by all companies, this presentation may not be comparable to EBITDA presentations disclosed by other companies. Management believes that EBITDA is useful in evaluating the Company's operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry because the calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of certain non-cash and other items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

The Pro Forma Revenue and Pro Forma Operating Income measures exclude the Medical Products business, which was divested in May 2016.

These financial measures are not recognized measurements under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the most directly comparable measures presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included within this news release.
