(3) Fiscal 2025 includes the Company's portion of depreciation, intangible amortization, interest expense, and other items incurred by Propelis (see Note 8, "Investments" for further information with respect to the equity-method investment in Propelis).

(1) Includes certain non-recurring items associated with recent acquisition and divestiture activities, and also includes a loss of $2,072 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 related to the divestiture of a business in the Industrial Technologies segment (See Note 23, "Acquisitions and Divestitures). Fiscal 2023 includes a gain of $1,827 related to the divestiture of a business in the Industrial Technologies segment.

(3) Represents exchange losses associated with highly inflationary accounting related to the Company's Turkish subsidiaries.

(4) Fiscal 2025 includes asset write-downs within the Brand Solutions segment of $7,911 (see Note 25, "Asset Write-Downs"). Fiscal 2024 includes goodwill write-downs within the Industrial Technologies segment of $16,727 (see Note 24, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"), asset write-downs within the Memorialization segment of $13,716 (see Note 25, "Asset Write-Downs"), and investment write-downs within Corporate and Non-operating of $3,131 (see Note 8, "Investments").
|
|
|
(5) Non-service pension and postretirement expense includes interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial gains and losses, curtailment gains and losses, and settlement gains and losses. These benefit cost components are excluded from adjusted EBITDA since they are primarily influenced by external market conditions that impact investment returns and interest (discount) rates. Curtailment gains and losses and settlement gains and losses are excluded from adjusted EBITDA since they generally result from certain non-recurring events, such as plan amendments to modify future benefits or settlements of plan obligations. The service cost and prior service cost components of pension and postretirement expense are included in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA, since they are considered to be a better reflection of the ongoing service-related costs of providing these benefits. Please note that GAAP pension and postretirement expense or the adjustment above are not necessarily indicative of the current or future cash flow requirements related to these employee benefit plans.
|
(6) Includes fees for receivables sold under the RPA and factoring arrangements totaling $3,920, $4,830 and $4,042 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
