Note 2: All earnings per share and shares outstanding amounts have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the 3-for-2 split of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2014. Note 3: Organic net sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of net sales growth excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, certain acquisitions and exited businesses from year-over-year comparisons. The Company believes this measure provides investors with a more complete understanding of the underlying sales trends by providing net sales on a consistent basis. Organic net sales growth is also one of the measures used by management to analyze operating performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of organic net sales growth to the comparable GAAP measure of net sales growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015:
Note 4: This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of operations, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of the Company; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in monitoring and evaluating the Company's ongoing financial results and trends. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance, and evaluates overall management with respect to such indicators. Additionally, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures because the Company's credit agreement provides for certain adjustments in calculations used for determining whether the Company is in compliance with certain credit agreement covenants, including, but not limited to, non-cash impairment charges of goodwill, intangibles and other assets, adjustments relating to certain restructuring costs, acquisition-related and other costs, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, the elimination of manufacturer's profit in inventory, Venezuela related charges (deconsolidation, hyperinflationary and foreign exchange-related charges), non-cash stock-based compensation costs, gain (loss) on sale of certain assets, loss on early extinguishment of debt, non-cash original issue discount amortization and other items, as applicable. Adjusted gross margin is calculated by dividing adjusted gross profit by net sales. Segment earnings (As Adjusted EBITDA) margin is calculated by dividing segment earnings (As Adjusted EBITDA) by net sales. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) margin is calculated by dividing adjusted SG&A by net sales. Adjusted net interest expense is calculated by deducting original issue discount amortization from net interest expense. Adjusted income tax provision is calculated by adding the income tax provision adjustment, which reflects the normalization of the adjusted results to the Company's estimated effective tax rate, to the income tax provision. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted gross margins:
Adjusted selling, general administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percent of sales:
