(1) We evaluate performance on the basis of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define "EBITDA" as our net income calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, plus the sum of interest expense net of interest income, tax expense and depreciation. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA, plus the sum of stock compensation expense, repositioning costs, foreign exchange (gain) loss on debt net of related hedging gains (loss), discounting costs on factoring, gain on sale of equity investment, other non-operating income, capital structure transformation expenses, net reorganization items and loss on extinguishment of debt (if any). Adjusted EBITDA now also adjusts for acquisition and divestiture expenses, and debt refinancing and redemption costs, but no adjustments were made to the prior period as there were no similar adjustments in the prior period. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important indicators of operating performance and provide useful information for investors because:

   -- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the effects of income taxes, as well 
      as the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the 
      effects of interest-related charges and depreciation expenses and 
      therefore more closely measure our operational performance; and 
 
   -- certain adjustment items, while periodically affecting our results, may 
      vary significantly from period to period and have disproportionate effect 
      in a given period, which affects the comparability of our results. 

In addition, our management may use Adjusted EBITDA in setting performance incentive targets to align performance measurement with operational performance.

(2) Reflects interest income of $0 million and $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $3 million and $6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(3) Stock compensation expense includes only non-cash expenses.

(4) Reflects the non-service component of net periodic pension income.

(5) Reflects the incremental third-party costs incurred for the sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture.

(6) Reflects the third-party incremental costs that were directly attributable to the transformation of the Company's capital structure through the partial repurchase and subsequent conversion of the remaining outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into a single class of common stock in June 2023.

(7) Reflects the third-party costs directly attributable to the repricing of our 2021 Dollar Term Facility.

(8) Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

(1) We define constant currency sales growth as the year-over-year change in reported sales relative to the comparable period, excluding the impact on sales from foreign currency translation. We believe this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.
