(1)The divestiture impact is calculated as net sales from the Better Health Vitamins VMS business after the sale date in the six month year-ago period.

(2)This represents the net impact on net sales growth / (decrease) from pricing actions, mix, trade promotion spending, mix from acquisitions and divestitures and other factors. In the six months ended December 31, 2025 , the impact from divestiture mix was 0% for Total Company.

(3)Organic sales growth / (decrease) is defined as net sales growth / (decrease) excluding the effect of any acquisitions and divestitures and foreign exchange rate changes. See below for reconciliation of organic sales growth / (decrease) to net sales growth / (decrease), the most directly comparable GAAP financial information.

Management believes that the presentation of organic sales growth / (decrease) is useful to investors because it excludes sales from any acquisitions and divestitures, which results in a comparison of sales only from the businesses that the company was operating throughout the relevant periods, and the impact of foreign exchange rate changes, which are out of the control of the company and management. However, organic sales growth / (decrease) may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded.

(4)Organic volume represents volume excluding the effect of any acquisitions and divestitures. In the six months ended December 31, 2025, the volume impact of divestitures was (1%) for Total Company.

(5)Total Company includes Corporate and Other. Corporate and Other includes the results of the Better Health VMS business through the date of divestiture.

(1)In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, this schedule provides the definition of certain non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. Management uses free cash flow and free cash flow as a percentage of net sales to help assess the cash generation ability of the business and funds available for investing activities, such as acquisitions and divestitures, investing in the business to drive growth, and financing activities, including debt payments, dividend payments and stock repurchases. Free cash flow does not represent cash available only for discretionary expenditures since the Company has mandatory debt service requirements and other contractual and non-discretionary expenditures. In addition, free cash flow may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be read in connection with the company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.
