RAI management uses ‘adjusted’ (non-GAAP) measurements to set performance goals and to measure the performance of the overall company, and believes that investors’ understanding of the underlying performance of the company’s continuing operations is enhanced through the disclosure of these metrics. ‘Adjusted’ (non-GAAP) results are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for ‘reported’ (GAAP) results. A reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted results is at the end of this presentation.
