(1) Income from operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2022 included a net $26.5 million gain ($19.2 million after-tax, or $0.13 per share) related to actions taken to mitigate the effect of changes in currency rates on the purchase price of the remaining ownership interest in LWM, net of other acquisition-related costs.
(2) Interest expense, net, for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended November 28, 2021 included a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $53.3 million ($40.5 million after-tax, or $0.28 per share), which included an aggregate call premium of $39.6 million related to the redemption of the Company's 4.625% senior notes due 2024 and 4.875% senior notes due 2026, and the write-off of $13.7 million of previously unamortized debt issuance costs associated with those notes.
(3) Equity method investment earnings (loss) included a $136.8 million unrealized loss ($101.5 million after-tax, or $0.70 per share) and a $6.3 million unrealized gain ($4.7 million after-tax, or $0.03 per share) for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2022 and November 28, 2021, respectively; and unrealized gains of $9.5 million ($7.0 million after-tax, or $0.05 per share) and $11.3 million ($8.4 million after-tax, or $0.06 per share) for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2022 and November 28, 2021, respectively, related to mark-to-market adjustments associated with changes in natural gas and electricity derivatives as commodity markets in Europe have experienced significant volatility. Equity method investment earnings (loss) for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2022 also included a $15.1 million gain (before and after-tax, or $0.10 per share) recognized in connection with the Company's acquisition of an additional 40 percent interest in its Argentina joint venture, bringing total ownership from 50 percent to 90 percent. The gain related to the remeasuring of the Company's previously held 50 percent ownership interest to fair value.

(1) Product contribution margin is one of the primary measures reported to the Company's chief operating decision maker for purposes of allocating resources to the Company's segments and assessing their performance. Product contribution margin represents net sales less cost of sales and advertising and promotion expenses. Product contribution margin includes advertising and promotion expenses because those expenses are directly associated with the performance of the Company's segments. Product contribution margin, when presented on a consolidated basis, is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this press release for a description of non-GAAP financial measures and the table above for a reconciliation of product contribution margin on a consolidated basis to gross profit.
(2) The Other segment primarily includes the Company's vegetable and dairy businesses and unrealized mark-to-market adjustments and realized settlements associated with commodity hedging contracts. Unrealized mark-to-market adjustments and realized settlements associated with commodity hedging contracts reported in the Other segment included a gain of $2.0 million and a loss of $8.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2022 and November 28, 2021, respectively; and losses of $6.9 million and $16.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2022 and November 28, 2021, respectively.

(1) Items impacting comparability are tax effected at the marginal rate based on the applicable tax jurisdiction. For the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2022, there is no tax impact associated with the gain on the acquisition of an additional 40 percent interest in the Company's Argentina joint venture.
(2) See footnotes (1), (2), and (3) to the Consolidated Statements of Earnings above for a discussion of the items impacting comparability.
(3) Adjusted income from operations, interest expense, income tax expense, equity method investment earnings (loss), net income, and diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect management's exclusion of items impacting comparability between periods as management believes these items are not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating trends of the Lamb Weston business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as a means to evaluate the underlying performance of the Lamb Weston business on an ongoing basis, and management believes these measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provide useful supplemental information regarding the factors and trends affecting the Company's business than could be obtained absent these disclosures. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be done only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as such. See also "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this press release.

(3) Lamb Weston holds equity interest in three potato processing joint ventures, including 50 percent of LWM, 50 percent of Lamb-Weston/RDO Frozen ("LWRDO"), and 90 percent of LWAMSA. Lamb Weston accounts for the investments in LWM and LWRDO under the equity method of accounting. In July 2022, Lamb Weston acquired an additional 40 percent interest in LWAMSA and began to account for the investment in LWAMSA by consolidating their results in Lamb Weston's consolidated financial statements. See Note 4, Equity Method Investments, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in the Company's fiscal 2022 Form 10-K, for more information. In October 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining equity interest in LWM. The acquisition is expected to close during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, after which Lamb Weston will own 100% of LWM and consolidate its results in Lamb Weston's consolidated financial statements.
