FINANCIAL MEASURES THAT SUPPLEMENT GAAP
(Unaudited)
Earnings before interest, taxes and minority interests (EBIT)
We define EBIT as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense and minority interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries. We use EBIT to assess and measure the performance of our operating segments and also as a component in measuring our variable compensation programs. Below is a reconciliation of EBIT, a non-GAAP financial measure, to our consolidated net income, for each of the applicable periods:

We believe EBIT is a useful measure of our operating performance for the periods presented as it illustrates our operating performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure or income taxes. This measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and may not be consistent with measures used by other companies. It should be considered supplemental data.

NOTE 2. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
We have executed restructuring actions primarily in the form of voluntary and involuntary separation programs in the fourth quarter of 2008. These actions were in response to the continued deterioration we saw in our U.S. businesses and most key markets around the world in the second half of 2008, as well as a reduction in orders in most U.S. and global markets for 2009. We reduced our worldwide professional workforce by approximately 650 employees. We offered a voluntary retirement package to certain active professional employees in the United States based on a clearly defined set of criteria. We also took involuntary actions which included certain hourly employees. The compensation packages contained salary and continuation of benefits, including health care, life insurance and outplacement services. The voluntary retirement package was accepted by approximately 150 employees. The remaining reductions of approximately 500 employees were involuntary. The expenses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2008 included severance costs related to both voluntary and involuntary terminations. During 2008, we incurred total pretax expenses related to the restructuring initiative of approximately $37 million.
Employee termination and severance costs were recorded based on approved plans developed by the businesses and corporate management which specified positions to be eliminated, benefits to be paid under existing severance plans or statutory requirements and the expected timetable for completion of the plan. Estimates of restructuring were made based on information available at the time charges were recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded and we may need to revise previous estimates.

NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2008 was 12.5 percent compared to 31.3 percent for 2007. The decrease is primarily due to greater foreign earnings in 2008, which are subject to lower tax rates. The fourth quarter effective tax rate also includes a $10 million (0.8 percent) reduction due to the legislative reinstatement of the U.S. research tax credit. The full-year 2008 effective tax rate was 30.9 percent and we expect our full-year 2009 effective tax rate to be sustained at approximately 31 percent.
NOTE 5. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization expense included in operating activities of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $314 million and $290 million, respectively.
