All four segments had higher net sales in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, as each of the segments benefited from double-digit increases in selling price and product mix and additional net sales from acquisitions. By segment, organic sales volumes increased approximately 2% in Global Specialty Businesses compared to the prior year period, while the other segments all declined due to the impacts on volumes mentioned above, and the EMEA segment was also impacted by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation. Operating earnings from the Global Specialty Businesses increased compared to the prior year whereas the other segments declined due to continued raw material and other inflationary cost pressures impacting each segment's operating margins. All four segments had higher net sales in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, as selling price benefitted all segments. All segments also had higher organic sales volumes except

Recent Acquisition Activity
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company completed two small acquisitions. The first acquisition was a business that provides pickling inhibitor technologies for the steel industry, drawing lubricants and stamping oil for the metalworking industry, as well as various other lubrication, rust preventative, and cleaner applications. The second acquisition was a business that provides sealing and impregnation of metal castings for the automotive sector, as well as impregnation resin and impregnation systems for metal parts. These acquisitions increase our technological capabilities and extend our geographic presence. In total, the Company's initial aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was approximately
Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations
The information included in this press release includes non-GAAP (unaudited) financial information that includes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they enhance a reader's understanding of the financial performance of the Company, are indicative of future operating performance of the Company, and facilitate a comparison among fiscal periods, as the non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company's operations. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
The Company presents EBITDA which is calculated as net income attributable to the Company before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies. The Company also presents adjusted EBITDA which is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus certain items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company's operations. In addition, the Company presents non-GAAP operating income which is calculated as operating income plus or minus certain items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company's operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP operating margin are calculated as the percentage of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating income to consolidated net sales, respectively. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide transparent and useful information and are widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis.
Additionally, the Company presents non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share as additional performance measures. Non-GAAP net income is calculated as adjusted EBITDA, defined above, less depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies, in each case adjusted, as applicable, for any depreciation, amortization, interest or tax impacts resulting from the non-core items identified in the reconciliation of net income attributable to the Company to adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is calculated as non-GAAP net income per diluted share as accounted for under the "two-class share method." The Company believes that non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share provide transparent and useful information and are widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis.
As it relates to 2022 projections for the Company, including the contributions from our recent acquisitions discussed under "Recent Acquisition Activity," as well as other forward-looking information described further above, the Company has not provided guidance for comparable GAAP measures or a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable
The Company's reference to trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA within this press release refers to the twelve month period ended
The following tables reconcile the Company's non-GAAP financial measures (unaudited) to their most directly comparable GAAP (unaudited) financial measures (dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts):
