24© Veritiv 2023 All Rights Reserved Appendix Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Financial Measures We supplement our financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP with certain non - GAAP measures including organic s ales (net sales on an average daily sales basis, excluding revenue from sold businesses and revenue from acquired businesses for a period of 12 mon ths after we complete the acquisition), Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, net , integration and acquisition expenses and other similar charges including any severance costs, costs associated with warehouse and office openings or clos ing s, consolidation, and relocation and other business optimization expenses, stock - based compensation expense, changes in the LIFO reserve, non - restruct uring asset impairment charges, non - restructuring severance charges, non - restructuring pension charges (benefits), fair value adjustments related to co ntingent liabilities assumed in mergers and acquisitions and certain other adjustments), free cash flow and other non - GAAP measures such as the Net Leverage Rat io (calculated as net debt divided by trailing twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA) and Return on Invested Capital (calculated as Net Operating Profit Afte r T ax divided by the sum of net working capital and property and equipment. Net Operating Profit After Tax is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation an d a mortization times 1 minus the standard tax rate1). We believe investors commonly use Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and these other non - GAAP measures as key financial metrics for valuing companies; we also present organic sales to help investors better compare period - over - period results. In addition, the c redit agreement governing our Asset - Based Lending Facility (the "ABL Facility") permits us to exclude the foregoing and other charges in calculating "Consolid ated EBITDA", as defined in the ABL Facility. Consolidated EBITDA and ROIC are also used as a basis for certain compensation programs sponsored by the Compan y. Organic sales, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, Return on Invested Capital and these other non - GAAP measures are not alternative measures of financial performance or liquidity under U.S. GAAP. Non - GAAP measures do not have definitions under U.S. GAAP and may be defined different ly by, and not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, we consider and evaluate non - GAAP measures in con nection with a review of the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on su ch non - GAAP measures and to consider them with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Organic sales, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and th ese other non - GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our res ults as reported under U.S. GAAP. Please see the following tables for reconciliations of non - GAAP measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures. 1 The Company uses a standard tax rate of 26% due to the historic volatility of the Company's effective tax rate.
