Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including net sales adjusted for the impact of Foreign Exchange, Divestitures, discontinued brands and certain other items, including SKU rationalization, as applicable in each case, adjusted operating income and its related margin, adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and its related margin and operating free cash flow. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables "Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Measures" for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 in the paragraphs below. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the Company's operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. They should be read only in connection with the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Company defines Operating Free Cash Flow as cash provided by or used in operating activities from continuing operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. The Company views Operating Free Cash Flow as an important measure because it is one factor in evaluating the amount of cash available for discretionary investments.

For the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations was calculated as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Twelve Months Ended June 30,
	2020	2019	2020	2019
	(unaudited and in thousands)

Cash flow provided by operating activities from continuing operations	$ 92,822	$ 21,001	$ 156,914	$ 39,333
Purchases of property, plant and equipment	(13,932)	(20,719)	(60,893)	(75,792)
Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations	$ 78,890	$ 282	$ 96,021	$ (36,459)

The Company's Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations was $78.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $78.6 million from the three months ended June 30, 2019. The Company's Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations was $96.0 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $132.5 million from the twelve months ended June 30, 2019. The improvement in Operating Free Cash Flow for both periods resulted primarily from an improvement in net income adjusted for non-cash charges in the current year and a decrease in our capital expenditures.

The Company believes presenting net sales at constant currency provides useful information to investors because it provides transparency to underlying performance in the Company's consolidated net sales by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on period-to-period comparability given the volatility in foreign currency exchange markets. To present this information for historical periods, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rate in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The Company provides net sales adjusted for constant currency, divestitures, discontinued brands, and certain other items including SKU rationalization, as applicable in each case, to understand the growth rate of net sales excluding the impact of such items. The Company's management believes net sales adjusted for such items is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the growth of our business from period-to-period.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived and intangible assets, equity in net loss of equity-method investees, stock-based compensation, net, stock-based compensation expense in connection with the Company's former CEO Succession Plan, Productivity and transformation costs, SKU rationalization and certain inventory write-downs, unrealized currency gains and losses and other adjustments. The Company's management believes that these presentations provide useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of the Company as well as a component of performance-based executive compensation.

For the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was calculated as follows:
