Outlook

“The global macroeconomic environment in 2013 is generally as we anticipated, and we remain confident in our ability to deliver consistent operating results in the second half of the year. Therefore, we are increasing the midpoint of both our revenue and earnings outlook for the full year,” said Mr. Stroup.

The Company expects third quarter 2013 adjusted revenues to be $525 – $535 million and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share to be $0.90 – $0.95. For the full year ending December 31, 2013, the Company now expects adjusted revenues to be $2.09 – $2.12 billion and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share to be $3.54 – $3.69. Previously, the Company expected full year adjusted revenues to be $2.07 – $2.12 billion and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share to be $3.49 – $3.69.

On a GAAP basis, the Company expects third quarter 2013 revenues to be $522 – $532 million and income from continuing operations per diluted share to be $0.55 – $0.60. For the full year ending December 31, 2013, the Company expects revenues to be $2.08 – $2.11 billion and income from continuing operations per diluted share to be $2.11 – $2.26.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

(Unaudited)

We define free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for acquisition and divestiture transaction costs, capital expenditures net of the proceeds from the disposal of tangible assets, and non-recurring tax payments related to divestitures and settlement of a tax sharing agreement. We believe free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding our ability to generate cash from business operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, service of debt principal, dividends and share repurchases. We use free cash flow, as defined, as one financial measure to monitor and evaluate performance and liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only in conjunction with financial measures reported according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our definition of free cash flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

(Unaudited)

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we provide non-GAAP operating results adjusted for certain items, including: asset impairments; accelerated depreciation expense due to plant consolidation activities; purchase accounting effects related to acquisitions, such as the adjustment of acquired inventory to fair value; acquisition and divestiture transaction costs; revenue and cost of sales deferrals for acquired product lines subject to software revenue recognition accounting requirements; severance and other restructuring costs; gains (losses) recognized on the disposal of businesses and tangible assets; amortization of intangible assets; gains (losses) on debt extinguishment; and other costs. We utilize the adjusted results to review our ongoing operations without the effect of these adjustments and for comparison to budgeted operating results. We believe the adjusted results are useful to investors because they help them compare our results to previous periods and provide important insights into underlying trends in the business and how management oversees our business operations on a day-to-day basis. Adjusted results should be considered only in conjunction with results reported according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
