7 NON-GAAP DISCLAIMER Colfax has provided financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are projected adjusted net income, projected adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income and organic sales growth (decline). Projected adjusted net income, projected adjusted net income per share and adjusted operating income exclude expenses related to major restructuring programs, to the extent they impact the periods presented. Organic sales growth (decline) and organic order growth (decline) exclude the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. These non-GAAP financial measures assist Colfax in comparing its operating performance on a consistent basis because, among other things, they remove the impact of expense related to major restructuring programs. Sales and order information by end market are estimates. We periodically update our customer groupings order to refine these estimates.
