14 We use the term “organic revenue” to refer to net revenue, excluding the effect of foreign currency changes and acquisitions and divestitures. Organic growth reflects adjustments for the impact of period-over-period changes in foreign currency exchange rates on revenues and the revenues associated with acquisitions and divestitures. |
15 Corporate Unallocated includes revenue for the North America Flooring business for the twelve months ended November 30, 2024. This business was sold in the first quarter of 2025 and as a result all activity for prior years was moved to Corporate Unallocated. |
