words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance and/or sales.

Working Capital as a Percentage of Sales.
Working capital as a percentage of sales was calculated
by taking the average 13 months of total Company working capital divided by the sum of
12 months of 2023 total Company sales, where working capital equals (1) trade accounts
receivable (2) plus inventory (3) minus trade accounts payable
The “Planet” metric considered both (1) waste to landfill intensity (Kg / MT Sales); and (2)
weather adjusted energy intensity.

To ensure these systems run correctly, EMI must be managed via shielding of an emitting source or of a sensitive component.
