Organization of Our Form 10-K

The order and presentation of content in our Form 10-K differ from the traditional SEC Form 10-K format. Our format is designed to improve readability and better present how we organize and manage our business. See "Form 10-K Cross-Reference Index" within the Financial Statements and Supplemental Details for a cross-reference index to the traditional SEC Form 10-K format.

We have defined certain terms and abbreviations used throughout our Form 10-K in "Key Terms" within the Financial Statements and Supplemental Details.

The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements is in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Our Form 10-K includes Adjusted Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure we use to evaluate the cash flow trends of our business. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" within MD&A for a description of this measure, including why management uses it and why we believe it provides investors with useful supplemental information.
