Note 14. Segment Information (continued)


⁽¹⁾ Includes certain non-recurring costs associated with recent acquisition activities.
⁽²⁾ Represents costs associated with global ERP system integration efforts.
⁽³⁾Includes certain non-recurring costs associated with productivity and cost-reduction initiatives intended to result in improved operating performance, profitability and working capital levels.
⁽⁴⁾ Represents a loss on the sale of a controlling interest in a subsidiary within the Memorialization segment.
⁽⁵⁾ Represents the Company's portion of depreciation, intangible amortization, interest expense, and other non-recurring charges incurred by non-consolidated subsidiaries accounted for as equity-method investments within the Memorialization segment.
⁽⁶⁾Includes certain non-recurring direct incremental costs (such as costs for purchases of computer peripherals and devices to facilitate working-from-home, additional personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies and services, etc.) incurred in response to COVID-19. This amount does not include the impact of any lost sales or underutilization due to COVID-19.
⁽⁷⁾Represents the goodwill write-down for two reporting units within the SGK Brand Solutions segment (see Note 16, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets").
⁽⁸⁾ Non-service pension and postretirement expense includes interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gains and losses. These benefit cost components are excluded from adjusted EBITDA since they are primarily influenced by external market conditions that impact investment returns and interest (discount) rates. The service cost and prior service cost components of pension and postretirement expense are included in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA, since they are considered to be a better reflection of the ongoing service-related costs of providing these benefits. Please note that GAAP pension and postretirement expense or the adjustment above are not necessarily indicative of the current or future cash flow requirements related to these employee benefit plans.
