Non-GAAP Measurements Our management, as well as certain investors, use certain non-GAAP measures to analyze our current and future financial performance. These historical and prospective non-GAAP measures include adjusted operating cash flow, adjusted return on invested capital and adjusted comparisons, including adjusted earnings per share and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). These non-GAAP measurements do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results. These measurements simply provide supplemental information to assist our management and certain investors in analyzing our performance. We have provided this information to investors to enable them to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future performance and as a means to better understand the results of our core on-going operations. This section contains forward-looking statements of expected future developments. These forward-looking statements reflect management's expectations and are based on currently available data; however, actual results are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could materially affect actual performance. Risks and uncertainties that could affect our future performance include, but are not limited to, the following: competition, including product and pricing pressures; changing trends in consumer tastes; changes in our relationship and/or support programs with PepsiCo and other brand owners; market acceptance of new product and packaging offerings; weather conditions; cost and availability of raw materials; changing legislation; outcomes of environmental claims and litigation; availability of capital including changes in our debt ratings; labor and employee benefit costs; unfavorable interest rate and currency fluctuations; costs of legal proceedings; and general economic, business and political conditions in the countries and territories where we operate. Any forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with information about risks and uncertainties set forth in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007.
Adjusted Operating Cash Flow: Adjusted operating cash flow is a measure of cash that is available for financing and other investing activities, including discretionary distributions in the form of dividends, reduction of borrowings and reinvestments in our business, as well as non-discretionary expenditures. Such non-discretionary expenditures include mandatory debt service requirements and other contractual cash obligations relating to our advertising commitments and exclusivity rights, raw material purchase obligations and lease obligations. These contractual obligations are described in our most recent annual report, and there have been no significant changes since that time. This non-GAAP measure is provided as supplemental information and should not be considered in lieu of the GAAP measures.
Adjusted operating cash flow can be defined as a formula as follows:
Beginning in the second quarter of 2007, the definition was modified to include the proceeds from the sale of property. This modification was made as management believed these proceeds should be included in the measure of cash that is available for financing and other investing activities. Adjusted operating cash flow in any one year may be affected by investment initiatives or by the timing of routine cash receipts and disbursements. Our capital spending in the first quarter of 2008 was $31.5 million compared to $60.8 million in the first quarter of 2007. The reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measurement was calculated as follows (in millions and unaudited):
The GAAP measures of cash flows from investing and financing activities for the periods presented above are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and are as follows (in millions):
Adjusted Return on Invested Capital
In calculating Adjusted ROIC, management excludes the impact of the 53rd week, other income (expense), and loss from discontinued operations. Management excludes these items because we do not consider them to be components of Adjusted ROIC. The 53rd week represents an item that, due to our fiscal year, occurs every five or six years. Discontinued operations represent items that we do not consider to be a component of our ongoing core operations. Other income (expense), net of tax, is excluded from the Adjusted ROIC calculation, as this line item in the income statement includes such items as realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which we do not consider to be components of our Adjusted ROIC. The impact of these adjustments immaterially increases Adjusted ROIC in our two most recent fiscal years. There are limitations in the use of Adjusted ROIC due to the subjective nature of items excluded by management in calculating Adjusted ROIC. This non-GAAP measure is provided as supplemental information and should not be considered in lieu of the GAAP measures. Management uses Adjusted ROIC to measure how effectively we are allocating capital in our core operations, and therefore, management believes this information is useful to investors. We define Adjusted ROIC as follows:
At the end of the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, we had an Adjusted ROIC of 7.7 percent and 6.9 percent, respectively. In the first quarter of 2008, Adjusted ROIC was negatively impacted by 10 basis points from special charges. Excluding the impact of special charges, Adjusted ROIC was 7.8 percent at the end of the first quarter 2008 and 7.1 percent at the end of the first quarter 2007. The reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measurements for the numerator and denominator are as follows (in millions and unaudited):
Adjusted Comparisons Management believes that the adjusted comparisons provide a supplemental view of operations that excludes items that are unusual, infrequent or unrelated to the ongoing core operations. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors through the summarization of transactions comparable with prior period results. These non-GAAP measures are provided as supplemental information, and should not be considered in lieu of the GAAP measures. There are limitations in the use of adjusted comparisons due to the subjective nature of items excluded by management in calculating adjusted comparisons. These supplemental comparisons are consistent with the manner in which management internally reviews results of operations and evaluates performance in that management reviews the results of operations on both a GAAP basis and using adjusted comparisons. Management does not use the adjusted comparisons in lieu of the comparable GAAP measures, but rather uses the adjusted comparisons to supplement its review of operations. We have provided the table below that summarizes the adjustments discussed above that impact comparability of fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005 (in millions except per share data). Details of the adjustment items can be found in our Form 10-K Annual Report for December 29, 2007.
Non-GAAP Measurements Referenced at Conferences EBITDA In calculating EBITDA, management excludes interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization. There are limitations in the use of EBITDA due to the nature of items excluded by management. We define EBITDA as follows:
Operating Margin
In calculating our operating margin, management excludes special charges and certain one time events for comparability. There are limitations in the use of this measure due to the nature of items excluded by management. We calculate our operating margin as follows:
Cash Flow Yield
We calculate our cash flow yield as follows:
