uncertainties, including forward-looking statements about our expected future financial and operating
performance, demand for our products, and industry and economic outlook. Our actual results may differ

capacity in China to meet demand; commodity and component price increases or shortages; international
sales and operations; competition; soundness of suppliers and customers; our effective tax rate; future
restructurings; soundness of financial institutions; our debt obligations; restrictions in our credit
agreement; litigation and warranty costs related to our discontinued operation and court approval of the
recently filed settlement; our acquisition strategy; protection of patents and proprietary rights; failure of
our information systems or breaches of data security; fluctuations in our share price; and anti-takeover

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including increases
or decreases in revenues excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, adjusted operating
income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), and adjusted EBITDA.

A reconciliation of those numbers to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures
