Preliminary Return on Invested Capital Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Third Quarter 2008
We define Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) as income from continuing
operations plus after-tax net interest expense plus one-third of operating
lease expense after-tax (estimate of interest portion of operating lease
expense) divided by average invested capital after capitalizing operating
leases (operating lease expense times a multiplier of 8), adding financial
guarantees less net investment in Discontinued Operations, and adding back
the impact of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158,
Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement
Plans (SFAS No. 158). ROIC is not a measure of financial performance
under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may not be
defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. ROIC should
be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use ROIC as a measure of
efficiency and effectiveness of our use of capital and as an element of
management compensation.
