Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains comments that are “forward-looking” statements that involve risks and uncertainties; these statements are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated or forecasted results, including, but not limited to, factors affecting one-time costs associated with tax compliance and personnel replacement in the Company's local Belgian office; expanded operations in emerging markets, such as Brazil, that expose us to greater political and economic volatility than our operations in established markets; additional costs and delays in connection with the implementation of our new ERP system and associated litigation; our ability to forecast volatility in earnings resulting from the quarterly revaluation of the Company's earnout obligation to the sellers of CDC; macroeconomic circumstances that could impact our business, such as currency fluctuations; continued adverse capital and credit market conditions; and an economic downturn. For more information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ from anticipated results, see the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as may be required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company also discloses non-GAAP measures. To evaluate current period performance on a clearer and more consistent basis with prior periods, the Company discloses adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, which exclude one-time costs associated with tax compliance and personnel replacement in the Company's local Belgian office. Management uses return on invested capital (“ROIC”), a non-GAAP measure, as a performance measurement because management believes that this metric best balances the Company's operating results with its asset and liability management. The Company's Board of Directors uses ROIC in evaluating management performance and setting management compensation. The Company also discloses the percentage change in net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates to better assess the changes from prior periods.

Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the following Supplemental Information table.
