1. Concerning Forward-Looking Statements: This webpage contains "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding future operating and financial performance. You are cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations of future events. For important information about the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from the assumptions, expectations, and projections expressed in any forward-looking statements, review the "Cautionary Statements" included in Stanley Black & Decker's most recent earnings release as well as the most recently filed Stanley Black & Decker Reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. Stanley Black & Decker does not undertake any obligation to update or release any revisions to any forward-looking statement as a result of new information or future events or developments.
2. Assumes any new tariffs that have been and may be implemented can be mitigated within 12–24 months, and any other geopolitics are not materially disruptive.
3. Non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation for these non-GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of various items that have not yet occurred, including the high variability and low visibility with respect to certain gains or charges that would generally be excluded from non-GAAP financial measures and which could be material to the Company’s results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Company’s accounting policies for future periods requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future multi-year periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. The Company believes such a reconciliation would also imply a degree of precision that is inappropriate for these forward-looking measures. Refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 of the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on such Non-GAAP financial measures, including related definitions.
