RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This news release includes 2016 and 2015 net earnings, net earnings per diluted share and consolidated operating earnings, on an adjusted basis which exclude the 2016 fourth quarter charges associated with the pending Rockwell Collins transaction and restructuring, and the 2015 third quarter charge associated with the Company’s cost reduction program and present the 2015 fourth quarter income tax expense based on the full year 2015 effective tax rate. Each of these adjusted measures are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

The Company uses the above described adjusted measures to evaluate and assess the operational strength and performance of the business in addition to the GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these 2016 and 2015 adjusted financial measures are relevant and useful for investors because they allow investors to have a better understanding of changes in the Company’s performance excluding the 2016 charges associated with the pending Rockwell Collins transaction and restructuring, and 2015 charge associated with the Company’s cost reduction program. These 2016 and 2015 adjusted financial measures should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, operating earnings, or net earnings from operations (each as defined under GAAP), the most directly adjusted GAAP measures, as a measure of the Company’s operating performance for 2016 and 2015.

This news release includes the Company’s “adjusted free cash flow” and “free cash flow conversion ratio”, which are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G of the Exchange Act. The Company defines “free cash flow” as net cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and “adjusted free cash flow” as free cash flow excluding cash expenditures related to the pending Rockwell Collins transaction and restructuring. For a reconciliation of free cash flow to cash flows provided by operating activities, please see further below. The Company uses adjusted free cash flow to provide investors with an additional perspective on the Company’s cash flow provided by operating activities after taking into account reinvestments and the expenditures related to the pending Rockwell Collins transaction. Free cash flow does not take into account debt service requirements and therefore does not reflect an amount available for discretionary purposes. The Company defines “free cash flow conversion ratio” as adjusted free cash flow expressed as a percentage of the Company’s adjusted net earnings. The Company uses adjusted free cash flow conversion ratio to provide investors with a measurement of its ability to convert earnings into free cash flow. These financial measures should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, net cash flows provided by operating activities, the most directly adjusted GAAP measure, as a measure of the Company’s liquidity or operating performance.

Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G of the Exchange Act, we are providing the following tables that reconcile the above mentioned non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly adjusted GAAP financial measures:
