Exhibit 1: Non-GAAP Measures
In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in the earnings release and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure.
EPS Growth Excluding One-time Tax Benefit. The company incurred a favorable tax benefit that was one-time in nature and not related to any underlying operating business decision. The company believes that reporting EPS growth excluding this one-time item is beneficial to investors as it provides additional clarity and transparency into the true underlying business performance of the company.
