(1) Includes certain non-recurring costs associated with recent acquisition and divestiture activity, and also includes a gain of $1,827 in fiscal year 2023 related to the divestiture of a business in the Industrial Technologies segment.
|
(2) Includes certain non-recurring costs associated with commercial, operational and cost-reduction initiatives and costs associated with global ERP system integration efforts. Fiscal 2024 also includes legal costs related to an ongoing dispute with Tesla, which totaled $12,399 (See Note 19, "Commitments and Contingent Liabilities"). Fiscal 2023 includes loss recoveries totaling $2,154 which were related to a previously disclosed theft of funds by a former employee initially identified in fiscal 2015.
|
|
(3) 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.
|
(4) Represents exchange losses associated with highly inflationary accounting related to the Company's Turkish subsidiaries.
|

|
|
|
(7) Non-service pension and postretirement expense includes interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial gains and losses, curtailment gains and losses, and settlement 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. Curtailment gains and losses and settlement gains and losses are excluded from adjusted EBITDA since they generally result from certain non-recurring events, such as plan amendments to modify future benefits or settlements of plan obligations. 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.
|
(8) Includes fees for receivables sold under the RPA and factoring arrangements totaling $4,830, $4,042 and $1,046 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
