Income from continuing operations per diluted share was $0.77, compared to $0.65 in the third quarter 2013, an increase of 18.5% year over year.

Adjusted revenues for the quarter totaled $613.1 million and were also a company record. Adjusted revenues were up $87.5 million, or 16.7%, compared to $525.6 million in the third quarter 2013. Adjusted gross profit margin in the third quarter was 37.6%, increasing 160 basis points from 36.0% in the year-ago period.

Outlook

“Despite a strengthening US dollar and European uncertainty, I’m pleased to provide a full-year earnings forecast consistent with the prior quarter and exceeding the guidance communicated one year ago. I’m confident in our ability to navigate these challenges given our proven business system and focus on attractive end markets. I look forward to sharing full year 2015 guidance during our Financial Analyst and Investor Day on December 2,” said Mr. Stroup.

The Company expects fourth quarter 2014 adjusted revenues to be $590 – $610 million, which incorporates the impact of both a stronger US dollar and lower commodity prices. Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share is expected to be $1.15 – $1.25. For the full year ending December 31, 2014, the Company now expects adjusted revenues to be $2.30 – $2.32 billion and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share to be $4.15 – $4.25. Previously, the Company expected full year adjusted revenues to be $2.30 - $2.35 billion and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share to be $4.10 - $4.30.

On a GAAP basis, the Company expects fourth quarter 2014 revenues to be $588 – $608 million and income from continuing operations per diluted share to be $0.55 – $0.65. For the full year ending December 31, 2014, the Company now expects revenues to be $2.29 – $2.31 billion and income from continuing operations per diluted share to be $1.90 – $2.00. Previously, the Company expected full year revenues to be $2.28 - $2.33 billion and income from continuing operations per diluted share to be $1.68 - $1.88.

CONSOLIDATED 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 and transaction costs; revenue and cost of sales deferrals for acquired product lines subject to software revenue recognition accounting requirements; severance, restructuring, and acquisition integration costs; gains (losses) recognized on the disposal of businesses and tangible assets; amortization of intangible assets; results of discontinued operations; 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.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

FREE CASH FLOW

(Unaudited)

We define free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures net of the proceeds from the disposal of tangible assets, non-recurring tax payments related to divestitures and the settlement of a tax sharing agreement, and cash payments for severance and other costs for the integration of our 2014 acquisition of Grass Valley. 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.
