_____________

(1)Gains and losses on forward foreign exchange contracts primarily result from currency fluctuations relative to negotiated contract rates. Gains and losses in the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 27, 2023 and August 28, 2022 were primarily due to currency fluctuations relative to negotiated contract rates on positions to buy and sell the Euro.

(2)Foreign currency transaction losses (gains) reflect the impact of foreign currency fluctuation on the Company’s foreign currency denominated balances. Losses in the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 27, 2023 were primarily due to U.S. Dollar weakening against the Euro and the Mexican Peso.

(3)Marketable securities gains include unrealized gains and losses from marketable equity securities held in an irrevocable grantor’s Rabbi trust in connection with the Company’s deferred compensation plan.

(4)COVID-19 government subsidy gain reflects a payment received from the German government as reimbursement for COVID-19 losses incurred in prior years.

(5)On May 30, 2023, the Company used pension plan assets to purchase nonparticipating annuity contracts in order to transfer certain liabilities associated with its U.S. pension plan to an insurance company. See Note 8 for details.
