3.We note you present Free Cash Flow Conversion in Table 8 but you do clearly identify it
as a non-GAAP financial measure or present the most directly comparable GAAP
measure, based on Net Earnings rather than Adjusted Earnings, with equal or greater
prominence. For each non-GAAP financial measure you present, please properly title the
measure and present the most directly comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater
prominence as required by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A) of Regulation S-K and Question 102.10 of
the Division of Corporation Finance’s Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations on Non-

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023
Consolidated Financial Statements
16. Contingent Liabilities and Other Matters, page 105
4.In the first paragraph, we note you disclose “management believes that the amount of any
reasonably possible losses in excess of any amounts accrued, if any, with respect to such
Proceedings or any other known claim, including the matters described below under the
caption Environmental Matters (the “Environmental Matters”), are not material to the
Company’s financial statements”; however, in the last sentence of the third paragraph, you
disclose “it is reasonably possible that additional product recall costs could be incurred
that exceed the estimated liability by amounts that could be material to our consolidated
financial statements”. These disclosures appear inconsistent and potentially confusing.
Please correct the inconsistency. In addition, to the extent you believe it is reasonably
possible that losses exceeding amounts accrued could be material to your consolidated
financial statements, provide a range for such losses or, if applicable, disclose a range
cannot be provided and explain the nature, extent, and timing of the additional information
that is required for you to provide an estimated loss range.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
Please contact SiSi Cheng at 202-551-5004 or Anne McConnell at 202-551-3709 with
any questions.
Sincerely,
Division of Corporation Finance
