Operating Return on Average Stockholders’ Equity

Operating return on average stockholders’ equity is calculated by dividing net income by the average of beginning and ending stockholders’ equity. To calculate Non-GAAP operating return on average stockholders’ equity, we define Non-GAAP Income as net income adjusted to exclude certain items. These items include the following:

 

   

After-tax effect of the business realignment and impairment charges in 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2003

 

   

Adjustment to income tax contingency reserves which reduced the provision for income taxes in 2004

 

   

After-tax gain on the sale of a group of our gum brands in 2003

Our operating return on average stockholders’ equity, GAAP basis, was 68.4% in 2008. Our Non-GAAP operating return on average stockholders’ equity was 94.5% in 2008. The increase in operating return on average stockholders’ equity in 2008 compared with 2007 was principally due to a reduction in equity related to reduced pension plan assets and the impact of cumulative translation adjustments. Over the last six years, our Non-GAAP operating return on stockholders’ equity has ranged from 33.2% in 2003 to 94.5% in 2008.
