    Appendix 1


    Note:                 Management believes that presenting non-
                          GAAP measures is useful because they
                          enhance investors' understanding of how
                          management assesses the performance of
                          the Company's businesses. Management uses
                          non-GAAP measures for budgeting
                          purposes, measuring actual results to
                          budgeted projections, allocating
                          resources, and in certain circumstances
                          for employee incentive compensation.
                          Effective first quarter 2015, the Company
                          is using a constant non-GAAP tax rate,
                          which management believes reflects the
                          long-term average tax rate based on our
                          international structure and geographic
                          distribution of earnings. In addition,
                          the Company is also using constant
                          currency which removes estimated currency
                          rate impacts and related hedge gains and
                          losses from key performance indicators,
                          which management believes facilitates a
                          better understanding of trends in our
                          business. Adjustments to GAAP results in
                          determining non-GAAP results fall into
                          the categories that are described below:




                         1) Restructuring charges and project costs
                         In recent years, the Company has initiated
                          restructuring plans which have resulted
                          in operating expenses which otherwise
                          would not have been incurred. The size of
                          these items can vary significantly from
                          period to period, and the Company does
                          not consider these items to be part of
                          core operating expenses of the business.
                          Restructuring and related charges that
                          are excluded from GAAP earnings to
                          determine non-GAAP earnings consist of
                          accelerated depreciation, asset
                          impairments, employee termination
                          benefits, pension and postretirement plan
                          curtailments, inventory-related charges
                          and contract termination and lease
                          charges. They also include project costs
                          that relate to the execution of the
                          restructuring plans. These project costs
                          are incremental to normal operating
                          charges and are expensed as incurred,
                          such as compensation costs for overlap
                          staffing, travel expenses, consulting
                          costs and training costs.





                          2) Acquisition and divestiture-related
                          adjustments
                         In connection with acquisitions,
                          management provides supplementary non-
                          GAAP financial measures of revenue and
                          expenses to normalize for the impact of
                          business combination accounting rules as
                          well as to exclude certain expenses which
                          would not have been incurred otherwise.




                         a. Adjustments to Revenue
                         Due to business combination accounting
                          rules, deferred revenue balances for
                          service contracts assumed as part of
                          acquisitions are adjusted down to fair
                          value. Fair value approximates the cost
                          of fulfilling the service obligation,
                          plus a reasonable profit margin.
                          Subsequent to acquisitions, management
                          adds back the amount of amortized revenue
                          that would have been recognized had the
                          acquired company remained independent and
                          had the deferred revenue balances not
                          been adjusted to fair value.  Management
                          reviews non-GAAP revenue to allow for
                          more complete comparisons to historical
                          performance as well as to forward-
                          looking projections and also uses it as a
                          metric for employee incentive
                          compensation.




                         b. Amortization of intangible assets
                         Due to business combination accounting
                          rules, intangible assets are recognized
                          which were not previously presented on
                          the balance sheet of the acquired
                          company. These intangible assets consist
                          primarily of purchased technology,
                          customer relationships, trade names, in-
                          process R&D and non-compete agreements.
                          Subsequent to the acquisition date, some
                          of these intangible assets begin
                          amortizing and represent an expense that
                          would not have been recorded had the
                          acquired company remained independent.
                          The total amortization of the acquired
                          intangible assets varies from period to
                          period, due to the mix in value and
                          useful lives of the different assets. For
                          the purpose of comparing financial
                          results to historical performance as well
                          as for defining targets for employee
                          incentive compensation, management
                          excludes the amortization of the acquired
                          intangible assets on a non-GAAP basis.




                         c. Acquisition and integration costs
                         In connection with its acquisitions, the
                          Company incurs expenses that would not
                          have been incurred otherwise. The
                          acquisition costs include items such as
                          investment banking fees, legal and
                          accounting fees, stock based compensation
                          expense related to replacement awards
                          issued to employees of acquired companies
                          and costs of retention bonus programs for
                          the senior management of acquired
                          companies. Integration costs may consist
                          of information technology expenses
                          including software and systems to be
                          implemented in acquired companies,
                          consulting costs and travel expenses as
                          well as non-cash charges related to the
                          abandonment of assets under construction
                          by the Company that are determined to be
                          duplicative of assets of the acquired
                          company and non-cash charges related to
                          certain assets which are abandoned as
                          systems are integrated across the
                          combined entity. Acquisition and
                          integration expenses also include costs
                          associated with the Company's  rebranding
                          announcement in April 2015 as well as
                          related non-cash charges for the
                          abandonment of certain obsolete marketing
                          assets. The costs are expensed as
                          incurred and can vary substantially in
                          size from one period to the next. For
                          these reasons, management excludes these
                          expenses from non-GAAP earnings in order
                          to evaluate the Company's performance on
                          a continuing and comparable basis.




                         d. Divestiture-related adjustments
                         In connection with divestitures,
                          management provides supplementary non-
                          GAAP financial measures of expenses to
                          normalize for the impact of certain
                          earnings and expenses which would not
                          have been incurred otherwise. In 2013 the
                          Company recognized a net gain on the sale
                          of inkjet-related technology and assets,
                          which consisted of a subsidiary,
                          intellectual property and other assets,
                          and transition services.  In addition,
                          the Company has incurred costs related to
                          the divestiture, such as employee travel
                          expenses and compensation, consulting
                          costs, training costs, and transition
                          services. These costs are incremental to
                          normal operating charges and are expensed
                          as incurred. Management excluded the
                          income and expenses from non-GAAP
                          earnings in order to evaluate the
                          Company's performance on a continuing and
                          comparable basis.




                         3) Actuarial gain/loss on pension plan
                         Lexmark elected during the fourth quarter
                          of 2013 to change its method of
                          accounting for mark-to-market ("MTM")
                          asset and actuarial gains and losses for
                          its pension and other postretirement
                          plans to improve transparency of
                          operational performance. MTM is also a
                          more preferable approach under generally
                          accepted accounting principles. Under
                          this MTM accounting approach, asset and
                          actuarial gains and losses will be
                          recognized in net periodic benefit cost
                          in the period in which they occur, rather
                          than being recognized in accumulated
                          other comprehensive income and amortized
                          over future periods. Lexmark management
                          believes that it is appropriate to
                          exclude MTM asset and actuarial gains and
                          losses from non-GAAP financial measures
                          due to the nature and underlying
                          volatility of these gains and losses.
                          Further, management believes that MTM
                          asset and actuarial gains and losses
                          relate to market performance of assets,
                          discount rates, and actuarial
                          assumptions, which do not directly arise
                          from the Company's core operations, and
                          the exclusion of these items from non-
                          GAAP financial measures facilitates
                          meaningful comparison both across periods
                          and among entities.




                         4) Remediation-related adjustments
                         The Company implemented various remedial
                          actions to address previously identified
                          material weaknesses in internal control
                          over accounting for income taxes. In
                          connection with its remediation actions,
                          the Company incurs expenses that would
                          not have been incurred otherwise. The
                          remediation-related costs include
                          professional fees associated with the
                          remediation actions being taken. These
                          costs are incremental to normal operating
                          charges and are expensed as incurred.
                          Management excluded these expenses from
                          non-GAAP earnings in order to evaluate
                          the Company's performance on a continuing
                          and comparable basis.




                         Tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments
                         Effective this first quarter of 2015,
                          Lexmark is using a constant non-GAAP tax
                          rate of 30%, which management believes
                          reflects the long-term average tax rate
                          based on our global supply chain,
                          including our geographic distribution of
                          earnings. The long-term average rate is
                          calculated after excluding the tax effect
                          of the non-GAAP items described above.
                          Further, the non-GAAP tax rate removes
                          the variability introduced by discrete
                          events such as tax law changes, tax
                          authority settlements and other non-
                          recurring items.  The Company believes
                          the long-term non-GAAP tax rate
                          eliminates the effects of non-recurring
                          and period specific items which can vary
                          in size and frequency, facilitating a
                          meaningful comparison across periods.
                          This rate is subject to change over time
                          for various reasons, including material
                          changes in our geographic business mix,
                          acquisitions and/or modifications to
                          statutory tax rates.





                         Constant Currency
                         Lexmark presents certain measures, such as
                          period-over-period revenue growth and
                          operating income, on a constant currency
                          basis, which excludes the effects of
                          foreign currency translation. Due to the
                          continuing strengthening of the U.S.
                          dollar against foreign currencies and the
                          overall variability of foreign exchange
                          rates from period to period, Lexmark's
                          management uses these measures on a
                          constant currency basis to evaluate
                          period-over-period operating
                          performance. Measures presented on a
                          constant currency basis are calculated by
                          translating prior period results at
                          current period exchange rates and

                         In addition to GAAP results, management
                          presents these non-GAAP financial
                          measures to provide investors with
                          additional information that they can
                          utilize in their own methods of
                          evaluating the Company's performance.
                          Management compensates for the material
                          limitations associated with the use of
                          non-GAAP financial measures by having
                          specific initiatives associated with
                          restructuring actions and acquisitions
                          approved by management, along with their
                          budgeted costs. Subsequently, actual
                          costs incurred as a part of these
                          approved restructuring plans and
                          acquisitions are monitored and compared
                          to budgeted costs to assure that the
                          Company's non-GAAP financial measures
                          only exclude pre-approved restructuring-
                          related costs and acquisition-related
                          adjustments. Any non-GAAP measures
                          provided by the Company may not be
                          comparable to similar measures of other
                          companies as not all companies calculate
                          these measures in the same manner.
