Note on Adjusted Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP Measures
To supplement financial guidance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, Hanes provides quarterly and full-year results and guidance concerning certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EPS. Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS excluding actions and the tax effect on actions.
Actions during the first quarter of 2017 were adjustments for acquisition-related integration costs. Acquisition-related integration costs include adjustments directly related to the integration of completed acquisitions. These costs include legal fees, consulting fees, severance costs, certain purchase accounting items, facility closures, inventory write-offs, information technology integration costs, and similar charges. While these costs are not operational in nature and are not expected to continue for any singular transaction on an ongoing basis, similar types of costs, expenses and charges have occurred in prior periods and may recur in the future as the company continues to integrate prior acquisitions and pursues any future acquisitions. Hanes has chosen to present non-GAAP measures excluding the effects of these actions to investors to enable additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means of evaluating operations absent the effect of acquisition‐related expenses and other actions. Hanes believes these non-GAAP measures provide management and investors with valuable supplemental information for analyzing the operating performance of the company’s ongoing business without giving effect to costs or foreign currency gains associated with the execution and integration of any of the aforementioned actions taken.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP measures presented may be different from non-GAAP measures with similar or identical names presented by other companies.
In the first quarter of 2017, Hanes expects to incur approximately
