What Happened?
On October 22, 2024, before the market opened, Lockheed Martin announced it was forced to recognize losses of $80 million on a classified program at the Company's Aeronautics business segment 'due to higher than anticipated costs to achieve program objectives.' The Company also announced it had recognized a reach-forward loss in its Rotary and Mission Systems segment 'as a result of additional quantity ordering risk identified on fixed-price options.'
On this news, the Company's share price fell $37.63 or 6.12% to close at $576.98 on October 22, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume.
Then, on January 28, 2025, before the market opened, Lockheed Martin announced it was forced to record pre-tax losses of $1.7 billion associated with classified programs at its Aeronautics and Missiles and Fire Control business. The Company explained 'as a result of performance trends' and 'in contemplation of near-term program milestones,' it had 'performed a comprehensive review of the program requirements, technical complexities, schedule, and risks' based on which it recognized $555 million of losses in its Aeronautics program. The Company further reported additional losses of approximately $1.3 billion in its Missiles and Fire Control business due to, among other things, the 'future requirements of the program, discussions with the customer and suppliers.' As a result, the Company's net earnings in 2024 were $5.3 billion, or $22.31 per share, compared to $6.9 billion, or $27.55 per share, in 2023.
On this news, the Company's share price fell $46.24 or 9.2% to close at $457.45 on January 28, 2025 on unusually heavy trading volume.
Then, on July 22, 2025, before the market opened, Lockheed Martin disclosed it was forced to record an additional $1.6 billion in pre-tax losses on classified programs, including $950 million in losses related to its Aeronautics Classified program due to 'design, integration, and test challenges, as well as other performance issues.' The Company also recorded $570 million in losses on its Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program due in part to providing 'additional mission capabilities, enhanced logistical support, fleet life extension, and revised expectations regarding flight hours.' The Company further recorded a $95 million charge related to its Turkish Utility Helicopter Program due to the 'current status of the program.' As a result, the Company reported sharply lower net earnings of $342 million, or $1.46 per share, including $1.6 billion of program losses and $169 million of other charges.
On this news, the Company's share price fell $49.79 or 10.8%, to close at $410.74 on July 22, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.
What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Lockheed Martin lacked effective internal controls regarding its purportedly risk adjusted contracts including the reporting of its risk adjusted profit booking rate; (2) that Lockheed Martin lacked effective procedures to perform reasonably accurate comprehensive reviews of program requirements, technical complexities, schedule, and risks; (3) that Lockheed Martin overstated its ability to deliver on its contract commitments in terms of cost, quality and schedule; (4) that, as a result, the Company was reasonably likely to report significant losses; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired Lockheed Martin securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than 60 days from the date of this notice to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff.

ImmunityBio Reports Q2 Earnings Release Reflecting 60% Increase in Revenue in Q2 2025, With Year-to-Date Sales of $43 Million and 246% Unit Growth Since J-code

Article content Q2 2025 Revenue Growth with Continued Strong Sales Momentum: $26.4 million, up 60% from Q1 2025, with year-to-date sales of approximately $43 million. ANKTIVA ® Unit Growth Since J-code: 246% unit sales volume growth in 1H 2025 compared to 2H 2024. Cash Position: $153.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2025, with additional $80 million equity financing closed in July 2025, with warrants which could result in an additional gross proceeds of up to approximately $96.0 million. Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): ImmunityBio has launched ResQ201A, a randomized controlled trial (RCT), in the U.S., evaluating its IL-15 superagonist N-803 in combination with tislelizumab, a PD-1 CPI from BeOne Medicines in patients with second-line lung cancer who were progressing on checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs). The Company has also submitted clinical trial applications for ResQ201A in the EU and the UK, with Canada expected to be submitted in early Q3 2025, and with plans underway to submit in Asia. Lymphopenia: The Company met with the Division of Non-Malignant Hematology at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June 2025 to present updated data from its lymphopenia program. The Division was supportive of the findings including the underlying science of stimulating lymphocytes with ANKTIVA and expressed a desire to support an efficient path to approval, noting that additional time will be required to finalize the appropriate development plan. Expanded Access Program (EAP) authorization has been activated for the indication for all solid tumors in patients who have failed first-line treatment on chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy and exhibit low absolute lymphocyte counts (ALC < 1,000/μL). Lynch Syndrome: Full enrollment reached in the randomized National Cancer Institute (NCI) cancer prevention clinical trial using ANKTIVA in combination with adenovirus vaccine in 186 patients with Lynch Syndrome. UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approved marketing authorization application of ANKTIVA in combination with BCG for the treatment of adult patients with BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with CIS with or without papillary tumors. Papillary NMIBC: ImmunityBio conducted a Type A meeting with the FDA in June 2025 to discuss its program targeting papillary-only non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and the FDA's response to the supplemental BLA (sBLA) filing. Contrary to the advice the FDA gave the Company in January 2025 to submit the sBLA, the FDA responded with a Refuse to File (RTF) notice in May 2025 on the basis of requiring a randomized control trial (RCT) against chemotherapy. At the June 2025 meeting, ImmunityBio provided new data regarding the updated results since the initial BLA filing of papillary-only data as well as real-world data of chemotherapy just published in this indication. In the papillary-only NMIBC new data based on 26 of the 100 subjects in Cohort A and 80 subjects in Cohort B (Papillary Alone) of our QUILT-3.032 trial, demonstrated long-term (36-month) progression free survival and bladder sparing with ANKTIVA in combination with BCG. ImmunityBio presented the newly published real-world data, which demonstrates that compared to chemotherapy, ANKTIVA in combination with BCG led to improved outcomes of progression-free survival and cystectomy avoidance at 36-months. To our knowledge, the results to date of ANKTIVA in combination with BCG represent the longest duration of follow-up with the longest duration of bladder sparing in these subjects. The Company indicated at the meeting that it would seek a new meeting request with this new data and withdraw the prior sBLA filing; however, the Company is re-evaluating this approach in consultation with its regulatory counsel and may seek to amend the initial filing with the new data rather than withdrawing it, with a commitment to initiate a RCT of chemotherapy-free ANKTIVA in combination with BCG versus chemotherapy in the Papillary Alone indication. Article content In addition, ImmunityBio has applied to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) to seek expansion of the BCG-unresponsive NMIBC guidelines to include papillary-only disease, in addition to the currently recognized CIS with or without papillary disease. The NCCN is expected to review the submission at its August 2025 meeting. Article content CULVER CITY, Calif. — ImmunityBio, Inc. ( NASDAQ: IBRX), a leading immunotherapy company, today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025. Article content In the second quarter of 2025, ImmunityBio reported $26.4 million in revenue, representing a 60% increase from $16.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. This growth reflects continued commercial traction of ANKTIVA in combination with BCG in BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without Papillary tumors. The first half 2025 sales of $42.9 million represents a 246% increase in unit volume during the first two quarters of 2025 since the J-code approval versus the last two quarters of 2024. The Company ended the quarter with $153.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2025. Article content 'ANKTIVA continues to deliver clinical results and promising commercial potential for ImmunityBio,' said Richard Adcock, President and CEO of ImmunityBio. 'We're seeing robust demand across U.S. urology practices of all sizes, driven in part by ANKTIVA's ease of storage and administration. With commercial authorization now in place in the UK, we're actively evaluating our go-to-market strategy for this important initial global market. In parallel, our recombinant BCG (rBCG) therapeutic has been administered safely to more than 150 patients to date in the United States under the expanded access protocol, helping urologists address the ongoing BCG shortage in the U.S. The recent equity financing further strengthens our balance sheet and enables us to accelerate key studies.' Article content 'Our goal has always been to use our innovative science to attack a broad range of cancers, and we are deeply committed to this goal in order to meet the urgent needs of millions of patients,' said Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, Founder, Executive Chairman and Global Chief Scientific and Medical Officer of ImmunityBio. 'To that end, we've begun global expansion of key clinical trials, including those for BCG-naïve NMIBC and second-line lung cancer. In addition, we've initiated enrollment across multiple trials to validate our novel lymphopenia rescue agent in prolonging duration of survival across multiple tumor types—a critical effort to address this life-threatening immune deficiency, and is often triggered by chemotherapy, radiation, or some immunotherapies.' Article content Second-Quarter Ended June 30, 2025 Financial Summary and Comparison to Prior Year Quarter Article content Product Revenue, Net Article content Product revenue, net increased $25.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, due to an increase in sales of ANKTIVA, which was approved in April 2024. Article content Research and Development Expense Article content Research and development (R&D) expense increased $4.1 million to $55.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $51.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to higher manufacturing costs and higher distribution costs driven by more production and clinical trial activities, and higher license fees, partially offset by fewer sponsored research agreements. Article content Selling, General and Administrative Expense Article content Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased $6.9 million to $42.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $49.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to lower costs related to litigation settlements and commercial consulting activities. Article content Net loss attributable to ImmunityBio common stockholders was $92.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $134.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The reduction of loss was primarily driven by increased product revenue, lower SG&A expense described above, lower related-party interest expense, changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and a related-party convertible note, partially offset by changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities and an increase in interest expense related to the revenue interest liability. Article content Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Financial Summary and Comparison to Prior Year Six Months Ended Article content Product Revenue, Net Article content Product revenue, net increased $41.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to an increase in sales of ANKTIVA, which was approved in April 2024. Article content Research and Development Expense Article content R&D expense decreased $1.0 million to $103.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $104.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to a reduction in outside service costs, CMO fees and drug materials purchased and used in manufacturing, partially offset by an increase in clinical trial costs and by higher manufacturing costs driven by increased production activities. Article content SG&A expense decreased $16.1 million to $75.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $91.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower costs related to litigation settlements and commercial consulting activities, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense, recruiting and training expenses, salaries, benefits and commissions, and travel expenses due to growing sales and marketing activities. Article content Net loss attributable to ImmunityBio common stockholders was $222.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $268.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This reduction of loss was primarily driven by increased product revenue, lower R&D and SG&A expense described above, lower related-party interest expense, and changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, partially offset by changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities and a related-party convertible note, an increase in interest expense related to the revenue interest liability and lower interest and investment income. Article content About ANKTIVA Article content The cytokine interleukin-15 (IL-15) plays a crucial role in the immune system by affecting the development, maintenance, and function of key immune cells—NK and CD8+ killer T cells—that are involved in killing cancer cells. By activating natural killer (NK) cells, ANKTIVA overcomes the tumor escape phase of clones resistant to T cells and restores memory T cell activity with resultant prolonged duration of complete response. Article content ANKTIVA is a first-in-class IL-15 agonist IgG1 fusion complex, consisting of an IL-15 mutant (IL-15N72D) fused with an IL-15 receptor alpha, which binds with high affinity to IL-15 receptors on NK, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells. This fusion complex of ANKTIVA mimics the natural biological properties of the membrane-bound IL-15 receptor alpha, delivering IL-15 by dendritic cells and drives the activation and proliferation of NK cells with the generation of memory killer T cells that have retained immune memory against these tumor clones. The proliferation of the trifecta of these immune killing cells and the activation of trained immune memory results in immunogenic cell death, inducing a state of equilibrium with durable complete responses. ANKTIVA has improved pharmacokinetic properties, longer persistence in lymphoid tissues, and enhanced anti-tumor activity compared to native, non-complexed IL-15 in-vivo. Article content ANKTIVA was approved by the FDA in 2024 Article content Article content and by UK MHRA in 2025 for BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer CIS with or without papillary tumors. For more information, visit Article content . Article content About ImmunityBio Article content ImmunityBio is a vertically-integrated commercial stage biotechnology company developing next-generation therapies that bolster the natural immune system to defeat cancers and infectious diseases. The Company's range of immunotherapy and cell therapy platforms, alone and together, act to drive and sustain an immune response with the goal of creating durable and safe protection against disease. Designated an FDA Breakthrough Therapy, ANKTIVA is the first FDA-approved immunotherapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer CIS that activates NK cells, T cells, and memory T cells for a long-duration response. The Company is applying its science and platforms to treating cancers, including the development of potential cancer vaccines, as well as developing immunotherapies and cell therapies that we believe sharply reduce or eliminate the need for standard high-dose chemotherapy. These platforms and their associated product candidates are designed to be more effective, accessible, and easily administered than current standards of care in oncology and infectious diseases.

In rejecting U.S. jobs report, Trump follows his own playbook of discrediting unfavourable data

WASHINGTON — When the coronavirus surged during U.S. President Donald Trump's first term, he called for a simple fix: Limit the amount of testing so the deadly outbreak looked less severe. When he lost the 2020 election, he had a ready-made reason: The vote count was fraudulent. And on Friday, when the July jobs report revisions showed a distressed U.S. economy, Trump had an answer: He fired the official in charge of the data and called the report of a sharp slowdown in hiring 'phony.' Trump has a go-to playbook if the numbers reveal uncomfortable realities, and that's to discredit or conceal the figures and to attack the messenger — all of which can hurt the president's efforts to convince the world that America is getting stronger. 'Our democratic system and the strength of our private economy depend on the honest flow of information about our economy, our government and our society,' said Douglas Elmendorf, a Harvard University professor who was formerly director of the Congressional Budget Office. 'The Trump administration is trying to suppress honest analysis.' The president's strategy carries significant risks for his own administration and a broader economy that depends on politics-free data. His denouncements threaten to lower trust in government and erode public accountability, and any manipulation of federal data could result in policy choices made on faulty numbers, causing larger problems for both the president and the country. The White House disputes any claims that Trump wants to hide numbers that undermine his preferred narratives. It emphasized that Goldman Sachs found that the two-month revisions on the jobs report were the largest since 1968, outside of a recession, and that should be a source of concern regarding the integrity of the data. Trump's aides say their fundamental focus is ensuring that any data gives an accurate view of reality. Not the first time Trump has sought to play with numbers Trump has a long history of dismissing data when it reflects poorly on him and extolling or even fabricating more favorable numbers, a pattern that includes his net worth, his family business, election results and government figures: — Judge Arthur Engoron ruled in a lawsuit brought by the state of New York that Trump and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing loans. — Trump has claimed that the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections were each rigged. Trump won the 2016 presidential election by clinching the Electoral College, but he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton, a sore spot that led him to falsely claim that millions of immigrants living in the country illegally had cast ballots. He lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden but falsely claimed he had won it, despite multiple lawsuits failing to prove his case. — In 2019, as Hurricane Dorian neared the East Coast, Trump warned Alabama that the storm was coming its way. Forecasters pushed back, saying Alabama was not at risk. Trump later displayed a map in the Oval Office that had been altered with a black Sharpie — his signature pen — to include Alabama in the potential path of the storm. — Trump's administration has stopped posting reports on climate change, canceled studies on vaccine access and removed data on gender identity from government sites. — As pandemic deaths mounted, Trump suggested that there should be less testing. 'When you do testing to that extent, you're going to find more people,' Trump said at a June 2020 rally in Oklahoma. 'You're going to find more cases. So I said to my people, 'Slow the testing down, please.'' While Trump's actions have drawn outcry from economists, scientists and public interest groups, Elmendorf noted that Trump's actions regarding economic data could be tempered by Congress, which could put limits on Trump by whom he chooses to lead federal agencies, for example. 'Outside observers can only do so much,' Elmendorf said. 'The power to push back against the president rests with the Congress. They have not exercised that power, but they could.' White House says having its own people in place will make data 'more reliable' Kevin Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council, took aim at the size of the downward revisions in the jobs report (a combined 258,000 reduction in May and June) to suggest that the report had credibility issues. He said Trump is focused on getting dependable numbers, despite the president linking the issue to politics by claiming the revisions were meant to make Republicans look bad. 'The president wants his own people there so that when we see the numbers, they're more transparent and more reliable,' Hassett said Sunday on NBC News. Jed Kolko, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics who oversaw the Census Bureau and Bureau of Economic Analysis during the Biden administration, stressed that revisions to the jobs data are standard. That's because the numbers are published monthly, but not all surveys used are returned quickly enough to be in the initial publishing of the jobs report. 'Revisions solve the tension between timeliness and accuracy,' Kolko said. 'We want timely data because policymakers and businesses and investors need to make decisions with the best data that's available, but we also want accuracy.' Kolko stressed the importance in ensuring that federal statistics are trustworthy not just for government policymakers but for the companies trying to gauge the overall direction of the economy when making hiring and investment choices. 'Businesses are less likely to make investments if they can't trust data about how the economy is doing,' he said. Not every part of the jobs report was deemed suspect by the Trump administration. Before Trump ordered the firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, Erika McEntarfer, the White House rapid response social media account reposted a statement by Vice President JD Vance noting that native-born citizens were getting jobs and immigrants were not, drawing from data in the household tables in the jobs report. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer also trumpeted the findings on native-born citizens, noting on Fox Business Network's 'Varney & Co.' that they are accounting 'for all of the job growth, and that's key.' During his first run for the presidency, Trump criticized the economic data as being fake only to fully embrace the positive numbers shortly after he first entered the White House in 2017. White House says transparency is a value The challenge of reliable data goes beyond economic figures to basic information on climate change and scientific research. In July, taxpayer-funded reports on the problems climate change is creating for America and its population disappeared from government websites. The White House initially said NASA would post the reports in compliance with a 1990 law, but the agency later said it would not because any legal obligations were already met by having reports submitted to Congress. The White House maintains that it has operated with complete openness, posting a picture of Trump on Monday on social media with the caption, 'The Most Transparent President in History.' In the picture, Trump had his back to the camera and was covered in shadows, visibly blocking out most of the light in front of him. ___ Associated Press writer Michelle Price in Washington contributed to this report.

Article content Second Quarter Article content 'Novanta delivered solid second quarter financial results, meeting or exceeding expectations in revenue, margins, and profitability, while rapidly adapting to the ongoing challenging macroeconomic environment,' said Matthijs Glastra, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Novanta. 'Notably, we achieved 10% growth in bookings, with sequential improvement in the industrial business, and an overall book-to-bill ratio of 1.02 reflecting a strengthening outlook. We are very encouraged by mid-teens revenue growth in our Advanced Surgery and Robotics & Automation businesses, underscoring our strategic focus on high-growth markets and the diversity of our portfolio.' Article content 'Our Novanta team continues to execute effectively using the Novanta Growth System. As a result, we are seeing strong traction from our new product introductions and remain firmly on track to achieving our target of $50 million in new product sales this year. In addition, we secured several significant design wins with global leaders in the medical device and warehouse robotics sectors—key strategic areas that we expect will serve as long-term growth engines for Novanta.' Article content During the second quarter of 2025, Novanta generated GAAP revenue of $241.0 million, an increase of 2.2% or $5.2 million, versus the second quarter of 2024. The Company's acquisition activities resulted in a net increase in revenue of $5.3 million, or 2.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2024. Year-over-year changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted revenue by 2.0% or $4.8 million, during the second quarter of 2025. Organic Revenue Growth, which excludes the net impact of acquisitions and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, was (2.1)% for the second quarter of 2025 (see 'Organic Revenue Growth' in the non-GAAP reconciliations below). Article content In the second quarter of 2025, GAAP operating income was $14.9 million, compared to $25.7 million in the second quarter of 2024. GAAP net income was $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $13.8 million in the second quarter of 2024. GAAP diluted earnings per share ('EPS') was $0.12 in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $0.38 in the second quarter of 2024. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding was 36.1 million in the second quarter of 2025. Article content Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.76 in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $0.73 in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $52.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $51.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. Article content Operating cash flow for the second quarter of 2025 was $15.1 million, compared to $41.1 million for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decrease in operating cash flow was primarily driven by the timing of tax payments, and an increase in inventory purchases related to mitigating risks from global trade dynamics as well as the Company's recent acquisition activities. Article content Financial Guidance Article content 'In the coming quarters, we expect to drive sequential revenue and profit growth driven by our innovation pipeline, robust customer demand in secular growth markets, and operational discipline,' Matthijs Glastra continued. Article content For the full year 2025, the Company expects GAAP revenue of approximately $970 million to $985 million. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $225 million to $230 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $3.22 to $3.36. The Company's guidance assumes no significant changes in foreign exchange rates. Article content For the third quarter of 2025, the Company expects GAAP revenue of approximately $244 million to $247 million. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $57 million to $60 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.78 to $0.85. The Company's guidance assumes no significant changes in foreign exchange rates. Article content Novanta provides earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide earnings guidance on a GAAP basis, with the exception of GAAP revenue guidance. A reconciliation of the Company's forward-looking Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not provided because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including acquisitions and related expenses; impact of purchase price allocations for recently completed acquisitions; future changes in the fair value of contingent considerations; future restructuring expenses; foreign exchange gains/(losses); significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits); benefits or expenses associated with the completion of tax audits; divestitures and related expenses; gains and losses from sale of real estate assets; costs related to product line closures; intangible asset impairment charges and related asset write-offs; and other charges reflected in the Company's reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be material. For additional information regarding Novanta's non-GAAP financial measures, see 'Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures' below.

Article content Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Article content The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income, and Net Debt. Article content The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and supplementary information to investors regarding the operating performance of the Company. It is management's belief that these non-GAAP financial measures would be particularly useful to investors because of the significant changes that have occurred outside of the Company's day-to-day business in accordance with the execution of the Company's strategy. This strategy includes streamlining the Company's existing operations through site and functional consolidations, strategic divestitures and product line closures, expanding the Company's business through significant internal investments, and broadening the Company's product and service offerings through acquisitions of innovative and complementary technologies and solutions. The financial impact of certain elements of these activities, particularly acquisitions, divestitures, and site and functional restructurings, is often large relative to the Company's overall financial performance and can adversely affect the comparability of its operating results and investors' ability to analyze the business from period to period. Article content The Company's Adjusted EBITDA, Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin are used by management to evaluate operating performance, communicate financial results to the Board of Directors, benchmark results against historical performance and the performance of peers, and evaluate investment opportunities, including acquisitions and divestitures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin are used to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees. The Company has also used in the past, and may use in the future, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA as performance targets for certain performance-based restricted stock units. Accordingly, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide greater transparency and insight into management's method of analysis. Article content Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on the Company's reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

See the tables above for the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release. Article content Organic Revenue Growth Article content The Company defines the term 'organic revenue' as revenue excluding the impact from business acquisitions, divestitures, product line discontinuations, and the effect of foreign currency translation. The Company uses the related term 'organic revenue growth' to refer to the financial performance metric of comparing current period organic revenue with the reported revenue of the corresponding period in the prior year. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with our GAAP financial measures, allows the Company and its investors to better measure the Company's performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic revenue growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company's performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from these measures because foreign currency translation is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because these activities can vary dramatically between reporting periods and between the Company and its peers, which the Company believes makes comparisons of long-term performance trends difficult for management and investors. Organic Revenue Growth is also used as a performance metric to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees. Article content Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin Article content The calculation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets because: (i) the amounts are non-cash; (ii) the Company cannot influence the timing and amount of future expense recognition; and (iii) excluding such expenses provides investors and management better visibility into the underlying trends and performance of our businesses. The Company also excludes inventory related charges associated with product line closures as these costs occurred outside of the Company's day-to-day business for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the 'Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.' Article content Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin Article content The calculation of Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets and inventory related charges associated with product line closures for the reasons described above for Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin. The Company also excludes restructuring costs, acquisition and related costs, discrete costs related to the planning and design phase of an ERP system implementation, and charges related to an insurance recovery, as the significant charges have occurred outside of the Company's day-to-day business for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the 'Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.' Article content Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes Article content The calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring, acquisition and related costs, discrete costs related to the planning and design phase of an ERP system implementation, inventory-related charges associated with a product line closure, and charges related to an insurance recovery, for Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin. The Company also excludes foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) as well as the write-off of costs related to our debt refinancing from the calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes as the Company cannot fully influence the timing and amount of foreign exchange transaction gains (losses). Article content Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate Article content Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate are calculated based on the Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes by jurisdiction, the applicable tax rates in effect for the respective jurisdictions and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments discussed above. In addition, the Company excludes significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions not related to current year activity, tax audits, certain changes in tax laws, and acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company's effective tax rate. Article content Adjusted Net Income Article content Because Income Before Income Taxes is included in determining Net Income, the calculation of Adjusted Net Income also excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring, acquisition and related costs, discrete costs related to the planning and design phase of an ERP system implementation, inventory-related charges associated with a product line closure, and charges related to an insurance recovery, the write-off of costs related to our debt refinancing and foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) for the reasons described above for Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes. In addition, the Company excludes (i) significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions, tax audits or amendments to prior year returns, certain changes in tax laws, and acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company's effective tax rate; and (ii) the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments discussed above. Article content Adjusted Diluted EPS Article content Because Net Income is used in the calculation of Diluted EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS excludes: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets; (ii) restructuring, acquisition and related costs; (iii) discrete costs related to the planning and design phase of an ERP system implementation; (iv) inventory-related charges associated with a product line closure; (v) charges related to an insurance recovery; (vi) foreign exchange transaction gains (losses); (vii) costs related to our debt refinancing; (viii) significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, tax audits or amendments to prior year returns, certain changes in tax laws, and acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company's effective tax rate; and (ix) the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments for the reasons described above for Adjusted Net Income. Article content Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Article content The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as income before deducting interest (income) expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-cash share-based compensation, restructuring, acquisition and related costs, discrete costs related to the planning and design phase of an ERP system implementation, inventory-related charges associated with a product line closure, and charges related to an insurance recovery, and other non-operating (income) expense items, including foreign exchange transaction (gains) losses, costs related to our debt refinancing and net periodic pension costs of the Company's frozen U.K. defined benefit pension plan for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the 'Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.' Article content Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue. Article content In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation. Article content Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income Article content The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for purchases of property, plant and equipment and plus cash proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment. Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by Net Income. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of the Company's liquidity as well as its ability to service its outstanding debt and to fund future growth.
