Special items for the fourth quarter of 2022 had a $(0.42)
impact on EPS and included acquisition-related costs that primarily consist of inventory step-up
adjustments, restructuring costs, debt extinguishment costs, and a pension market-to-market
adjustment.
2
On a pro forma basis, fourth quarter and full year adjusted EPS were $0.42 and $3.04, respectively,
which excludes special items and intangible amortization expense, exceeding previous guidance of
$0.33 and $2.95.
This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of
certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs,
acquisition related costs, and other non-routine costs.
These costs are included in Corporate and eliminations.

We have remained consistent in our view all year that to the
extent demand conditions weakened further, we would be able to offset that with strength in
composites, improving margins and cost reductions.”
This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of
certain items, such as, but not limited to, environmental remediation costs, mark-to-market
adjustments associated with benefit plans, acquisition related costs, and other non-routine costs.
These costs are

“As we announced in our September 27th release, we are experiencing weaker global demand
conditions precipitated by the war in Ukraine, recession fears, higher energy costs and inflation,”
said Robert M.
This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such
as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition related
costs, and other non-routine costs.
These costs are
included in Corporate and eliminations.

The company noted that GAAP EPS includes special items (Attachment

and restructuring costs.
This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of

acquisition related costs, and other non-routine costs.

When you need a lightweight, strong, cost-efficient, and customizable material, composites may be the choice for you.
Design flexibility — Composites can be molded into complex shapes and textures at a relatively low cost.
Like automotive applications, the lighter weight of polymer composites can increase fuel efficiency, resulting in reduced fuel costs for the airlines.
