(1) Includes certain non-recurring items associated with recent acquisition and divestiture activities.
(2) Includes certain non-recurring costs associated with commercial, operational and cost-reduction initiatives, and costs associated with global ERP system integration efforts. Also includes legal costs related to an ongoing dispute with Tesla, which totaled $8,997 and $6,867 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively (see Note 18, "Legal Matters"). Fiscal 2025 includes net gains on the sales of certain significant property and other assets of $8,702 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Fiscal 2025 also includes loss recoveries totaling $1,170 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 which were related to a previously disclosed theft of funds by a former employee initially identified in fiscal 2015.
(3) Represents exchange losses associated with highly inflationary accounting related to certain Turkish subsidiaries which were recently divested (see Note 2, "Basis of Presentation").
(4) 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.
(5) Includes fees for receivables sold under the RPA and factoring arrangements totaling $668 and $1,172 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
