Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is calculated by dividing the Company's last twelve months after-tax Non-GAAP operating income by the net invested capital asset base as of each date. Please refer to the Investor Relations section of our website for full reconciliation of last twelve months after tax Non-GAAP operating income to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The net invested capital asset base is defined as the sum of shareholders' equity plus debt less cash and cash equivalents averaged over the last five quarters.
Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Debt/EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is derived by adjusting for net interest and adding back depreciation to non-GAAP pretax income. Quarterly Debt to EBITDA is calculated by dividing the Company's total debt as of the date presented by LTM EBITDA. Non-GAAP pretax income excludes certain amounts that are included in the most directly comparable measures under GAAP including stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, intangible amortization and certain other charges. Additionally, non-GAAP interest includes the loss on the sale of accounts receivable under our global AR securitization and factoring programs.

Appendix: Definitions
1. Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is calculated by dividing the Company's last twelve months after-tax Non-GAAP operating income by the net invested capital asset base as of each date. After-tax non-GAAP operating income excludes charges for stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense and certain other charges or income. The net invested capital asset base is defined as the sum of shareholders' equity plus total debt less cash and cash equivalents averaged over the last five quarters. We believe ROIC is a useful measure in providing investors with information regarding our performance. ROIC is a widely accepted measure of earnings efficiency in relation to total capital employed. We believe that increasing the return on total capital employed, as measured by ROIC, is an effective method to sustain and increase shareholder value. ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. ROIC should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or loss as an indicator of performance. Please refer to the Investor Relations section of our website for full reconciliation of last twelve months after tax Non-GAAP operating income to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
2. Corporate services and other: corporate service costs that are not included in the assessment of the performance of each of the identified business groups.
3. Net Working Capital is calculated as accounts receivable (AR), net adding back the reduction in AR resulting from the non-cash AR sales plus inventories less accounts payable.
4. Free cash flow is calculated as cash from operations less net purchases of property and equipment.
