Updated 2023 Expectations
“Our team’s unwavering commitment to delivering value is evident in our compelling customer proposition, strong free cash flow generation, and strategic capital allocation for the benefit of our shareholders," highlighted Vassalluzzo.

The Company’s full year guidance for 2023 included in this release includes non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. These measures exclude charges or credits not indicative of core operations, which may include but not be limited to merger integration expenses, restructuring charges, acquisition-related costs, executive transition costs, asset impairments and other significant items that currently cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts. The exact amount of these charges or credits are not currently determinable but may be significant. Accordingly, the Company is unable to provide equivalent GAAP measures or reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP for these financial measures without unreasonable effort.
The Company is updating its full year guidance for 2023 as follows:

**Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures excluding cash charges associated with the Company’s Maximize B2B Restructuring and expenses incurred in connection with our previously planned separation of the consumer business and re-alignment |
“Our year-to-date performance speaks to the resilience of our team and the strength of our low-cost business model and capital allocation approach,” said Scaglione. “While the weaker macroeconomic conditions have impacted the level of consumer and business activity creating top-line headwinds, our continued focus on operational excellence has us well positioned to continue driving strong operating results as we close out the year. Our updated guidance assumes a consistent overall macroeconomic environment and reflects our year-to-date revenue trends, while increasing our outlook for adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS.
Our increased adjusted EPS outlook also assumes a lower full-year effective tax rate driven by the execution of certain tax credits, lower than anticipated interest expense associated with projected intra-quarter ABL borrowings, and the impact from our continued share buyback activity,” Scaglione added.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
(Unaudited)
We report our results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
Our measurement of these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly titled financial measures used by others and therefore may not be comparable. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to the GAAP measures, but only to clarify some information and assist the reader. We have included reconciliations of this information to the most comparable GAAP measures in the tables included within this material.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures and changes in restricted cash. We believe that free cash flow is an important indicator that provides additional perspective on our ability to generate cash to fund our strategy and expand our distribution network. Adjusted free cash flow is also a non-GAAP measure, which we define as free cash flow excluding cash charges associated with the Company’s Maximize B2B Restructuring, and the previously planned separation of the consumer business and re-alignment.
