UPDATED GUIDANCE

Looking into the fourth quarter, the Company expects global demand trends to continue to be muted, particularly for hardware products, and expects software sales to increase from the third quarter due to seasonality in that category. The Company expects diluted earnings per share of $0.53 to $0.59 in the fourth quarter, and for the full year 2012, the Company expects diluted earnings per share to be between $2.17 and $2.23.

This outlook:

• includes an effective tax rate of 36% to 38% in the fourth quarter; and

• excludes severance and restructuring expenses incurred during the year and the non-operating gain on an acquisition recorded in the first quarter.
