Tailwinds

Headwinds
- It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to predict the timing or occurrence of events that may impact future GAAP EPS or the effective tax rate.
- Unable to reconcile forecasted capital expenditures to future cash used for investing activities due to uncertainty in investment activity timing.
- The projected percentage increase in adjusted EPS for full year fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2023 first quarter is calculated using adjusted fiscal 2022 results in order to present this information on a consistent basis using the calculation of adjusted EPS that will be applied in fiscal year 2023.
- The company is unable to fully reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, the Company’s forecasted range of adjusted EPS on a continuing operations basis to a comparable GAAP range.
- Actual non-service pension impacts depend in part on external factors that are impossible to predict, such as volatility in equity and debt markets.
