Non-GAAP Financial Measures
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES. We believe that presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides management and investors useful measures to evaluate performance and trends of the total company and its businesses. This includes adjustments in recent periods to GAAP financial measures to increase period-to-period comparability following actions to strengthen our overall financial position and how we manage our business. In addition, management recognizes that certain non-GAAP terms may be interpreted differently by other companies under different circumstances. In various sections of this report we have made reference to the following non-GAAP financial measures in describing our (1) revenue, specifically, Adjusted revenue, (2) profit, specifically, Operating profit and Operating profit margin; Adjusted earnings (loss); Adjusted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) and Adjusted effective income tax rate, and (3) cash flows, specifically free cash flow (FCF). The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures follow.

| We believe that adjusting revenue provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of revenue from our run-off insurance operations. We believe that adjusting profit to exclude the effects of items that are not closely associated with ongoing operations provides management and investors with a meaningful measure that increases the period-to-period comparability. Gains (losses) and restructuring and other items are impacted by the timing and magnitude of gains associated with dispositions, and the timing and magnitude of costs associated with restructuring and other activities. We also use Adjusted revenue* and Operating profit* as performance metrics at the company level for our annual executive incentive plan for 2024. | |||

| Earnings-per-share amounts are computed independently. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total. | ||||||
| We believe that Adjusted earnings* and the Adjusted effective income tax rate* provide management and investors with useful measures to evaluate the performance of the total company and increased period-to-period comparability, as well as a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding items that are not closely related with ongoing operations. We also use Adjusted EPS* as a performance metric at the company level for our performance stock units granted in 2024. | ||||||
2024 FORM 10-K 23
| FREE CASH FLOW (FCF) (NON-GAAP) | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash flows from operating activities (CFOA) (GAAP) | $5,817 | $4,609 | $4,027 |
| Add: gross additions to property, plant and equipment and internal-use software | (1,032) | (862) | (662) |

| Free cash flow (FCF) (Non-GAAP) | $6,089 | $4,744 | $3,538 |
| (a) Included cash payment of $363 million for the final settlement of the Sjunde AP-Fonden shareholder lawsuit for the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 24 for further information. | |||
| We believe investors may find it useful to compare free cash flow* performance without the effects of separation cash expenditures and Corporate & Other restructuring cash expenditures (associated with the separation-related program announced in the fourth quarter of 2022). We believe this measure will better allow management and investors to evaluate the capacity of our operations to generate free cash flow. We also use FCF* as a performance metric at the company level for our annual executive incentive plan and performance stock units granted in 2024. | |||
