In addition to traditional financial measurements, we use Economic Value Added (EVAŽ) to measure our financial performance and manage our allocation of capital resources. Also, a portion of executive incentive compensation is related to the achievement of targeted levels of annual EVA improvement. EVA is a financial performance measurement that includes the economic cost of assets employed. We use EVA as one of several internal financial measures, and it is not intended to represent a measure of financial performance with respect to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Other organizations that use EVA as a measurement of financial performance may define and calculate EVA differently.
