Through our disciplined approach, we believe we've built a solid foundation for sustainable growth and are now activating a growth culture with operational excellence at its core. The proof points we see across the company give us conviction in our ability to achieve the margin and cash flow goals of the transformation. Looking to the future, we believe we are well-positioned in attractive industries that have strong growth profiles over the long-term, and we see tangible pathways for future share gain by investing behind our iconic brands, innovation and our people.  The actions we are taking across the business position the Company to deliver higher levels of organic revenue growth*, profitability and cash flow, and ultimately, strong long-term shareholder returns.\"\n*Non-GAAP Financial Measure As Further Defined On Page 3.\n2024 Guidance\nManagement reaffirmed its full year 2024 guidance as provided on October 29, 2024.  The Company continues to expect its 2024 GAAP EPS to be between $1.15 to $1.75 and adjusted EPS* to be between $3.90 to $4.30.  The Company also reiterated that it expects free cash flow* at approximately $650 million to $850 million. The difference between 2024 GAAP and adjusted EPS* guidance is approximately $2.55 to $2.75, consisting primarily of charges related to the supply chain transformation under the Global Cost Reduction Program, environmental reserve adjustments and a brand impairment charge.\n2027 Financial Targets**\nIn addition, Stanley Black & Decker provided 2027 financial targets as follows:\n\nNet Sales: $16.5B to $17.0B (low-single digit 3-year revenue CAGR)\nAdjusted EBITDA*: ~$2.5B +/- $100M (with >35% adjusted gross margins*)\nFree Cash Flow Conversion*: ~100% +/-10pts\nContinued Dividend Growth\nSolid Investment Grade Credit Rating\n\nPatrick D.

We are confident that we are taking the actions to position the business for sustainable and growing earnings power, which along with disciplined capital deployment has the potential to deliver compelling shareholder value over the long term.\"\nAccess to a replay of the webcast, an agenda and presentation materials will be available directly on the 2024 Capital Markets Day Event Page in the \"Investors\" section of the Stanley Black & Decker website.\nCelebrating a History of Innovation\nIn 1961, Stanley Black & Decker introduced the world's first cordless drill, a tool that completely revolutionized the industry.

Organic revenue growth or organic growth is organic revenue divided by prior year sales. Gross profit is defined as sales less cost of sales. Gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of sales. EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Gross margin, earnings, and EBITDA are adjusted for certain gains and charges, which may include acquisition and divestiture-related items, asset impairments, restructuring, transformation costs, environmental charges, and other adjusting items. Management uses these metrics as key measures to assess the performance of the Company. Adjusted earnings per share or adjusted EPS, is diluted GAAP EPS excluding certain gains and charges. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital and software expenditures. Management considers free cash flow an important indicator of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and to provide a return to the shareowners and is useful information for investors. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company's common stock and business acquisitions, among other items.  Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by net income. The Company considers the use of the Non-GAAP financial measures above relevant to aid analysis and understanding of the Company's results, business trends and outlook measures aside from the material impact of certain gains and charges and ensures appropriate comparability to operating results of prior periods.\nThe Company also provides expectations for the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EPS, presented on a basis excluding certain gains and charges, as well as free cash flow and free cash flow conversion. Forecasted adjusted EPS is reconciled to forecasted GAAP EPS on page 2. Due to high variability and difficulty in predicting items that impact cash flow from operations, reconciliations of forecasted free cash flow and forecasted free cash flow conversion to the most directly comparable GAAP estimates have been omitted. The Company believes such reconciliations would also imply a degree of precision that is inappropriate for these forward-looking measures.\nCautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis Press Release contains \"forward-looking statements\" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
