(1) Includes certain non-recurring items associated with recent acquisition and divestiture activities.
(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 costs related to an ongoing contractual dispute which totaled $4,972 for the six months ended March 31, 2024. Fiscal 2023 includes loss recoveries totaling $2,154 for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which were related to a previously disclosed theft of funds by a former employee initially identified in fiscal 2015.
(3) Represents exchange losses associated with highly inflationary accounting related to the Company's Turkish subsidiaries (see Note 2, "Basis of Presentation").
(4) 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.
(5) Includes fees for receivables sold under the RPA and factoring arrangements totaling $1,238 and $1,090 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2,413 and $1,546 for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
