Appendix
To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses non-GAAP historical financial measures, which exclude certain GAAP items such as acquisition and integration costs, impairment and restructuring costs, and certain other special items. The Company generally uses the term "adjusted" when referring to these non-GAAP amounts.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. By disclosing non-GAAP financial measures, management intends to provide investors with a more meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's operating results and trends for the periods presented. These non-GAAPfinancialmeasures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. These non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP; therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP historical financial measure to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided below.

Notes
- The 2019 period includes costs related to the acquisition and integration of the business acquired from Western Polymer, LLC.
- During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $28 million and $41 million ofpre-tax restructuring charges, respectively. During the third quarter of 2019, we recorded $14 million of net restructuring related expenses as part of the Cost Smart cost of sales program, including $6 million of employee-related costs and accelerated depreciation as part of the closure of our Lane Cove, Australia facility. Additionally, we recorded $4 million of employee-related costs in South America and APAC, and $4 million of other costs, including professional services, within the Cost Smart cost of sales program. The Company also recorded $14 million of restructuring related costs as part of the Cost Smart SG&A program, including $7 million of employee-related severance and $7 million of other costs, including professional services, primarily in North America and South America. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $41 million of restructuring charges including $20 million of employee-related and other costs, including professional services, associated with its Cost Smart SG&A program, $18 million of other costs, including professional services, and employee-related costs associated with its Cost Smart cost of sales program, including the closure of the Lane Cove, Australia facility, and $3 million of other costs related to the Latin America finance transformation initiative.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded an $34 million and $45 million pre-tax restructuring charges, respectively. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company recorded $28 million of accelerated depreciation in relation to the cessation of wet-milling at the Stockton, California plant and $3 million of employee-related severance associated with its Cost Smart cost of sales program. During the nine months ended 2018, the company recorded $31 million related to the cessation of wet-milling at the Stockton, California plant, $9 million of restructuring charges as part of the Cost Smart SG&A program, and $5 million related to other projects.
- The Company had been pursuing relief from double taxation under the U.S. and Canadian tax treaty for the years 2004 through 2013. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a net reserve of $24 million, including interest thereon, recorded as a $70 million liability and a $46 million benefit. In addition, as a result of the settlement, for the years2014-2016, we established a net reserve of $7 million, recorded as a $21 million liability and $14 million benefit. During the third quarter of 2017, an agreement was reached between the two countries for the specific issues being contested. As a result of the agreement and related settlement, we are entitled to deduct a foreign exchange loss of $10 million on our 2017 U.S. federal income tax return, and the Company received a $40 million refund from the CRA and recorded $2 million of interest penalty through tax expense in 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company reversed $2 million of the $7 million net reserve related to the settlement.
- The enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") in December 2017 resulted in aone-time provisional amount of $23 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017. During the third quarter of 2018, we adjusted our provisional amounts and recognized an incremental $2 million related to the TCJA.
- This relates to other tax settlements and the reversal of interest and penalties for tax reserves.

Above is a reconciliation of our anticipated full year 2019 diluted EPS to our anticipated full year 2019 adjusted diluted EPS. The amounts above may not reflect certain future charges, costs and/or gains that are inherently difficult to predict and estimate due to their unknown timing, effect and/or significance. These amounts include, but are not limited to, acquisition and integration costs, impairment and restructuring costs, and certain other special items. We generally exclude these items from our adjusted EPS guidance. For these reasons, we are more confident in our ability to predict adjusted EPS than we are in our ability to predict GAAP EPS.
- Reflects expected costs related to the acquisition and integration of the business acquired from Western Polymer, LLC. and acquisitions to be determined.
- Primarily reflects current estimates for 2019 restructuring charges related to the Cost Smart Cost of Sales & SG&A programs. As specific projects within these programs are approved, the estimates will be reviewed and may be subject to revision.
- This relates to other tax settlements and the reversal of interest and penalties for tax reserves.
