The document notes that the press release contains non-GAAP financial measures and references to underlying orders (trailing three-month average orders growth versus the prior year, excluding currency and significant acquisitions/divestitures), but specific figures are not included in this text.
Material Changes
No specific material changes in financial performance are detailed in the text of this Form 8-K. The document indicates that the Company issued a press release regarding Q1 results, but the quantitative comparison to the prior comparable period is contained within the referenced Exhibit 99.1, not this summary text.
