Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income and Funded debt to Total debt
Non-GAAP Measures
The Company provides information regarding EBITDA and Funded debt which are not recognized terms under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles) and do not purport to be alternatives to Net income as a measure of operating performance or Total debt. Because not all companies use
identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the
Company’s Net income and a reconciliation of Funded debt to Total debt are provided below. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP
financial measures provides investors with additional useful information with respect to the terms of the Company’s credit facility.
The following tables set forth the reconciliation of the Company’s reported Net income to the calculation of EBITDA and the reconciliation of the
Company’s reported Total debt to the calculation of Funded debt:

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to Net Income TTM 2009 and 2008 and Adjusted Earnings Per Share for 2008
Non-GAAP Measures
The Company provides information regarding Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Earnings per share which are not recognized terms under GAAP
(Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and do not purport to be alternatives to Net income and Earnings per share as a measure of operating
performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Earnings per share to the Company’s Net income and Earnings per share is provided
below. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional useful information with respect to the
impact of the repatriation of foreign earnings.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company’s reported Net income to the calculation of Adjusted Net income for the trailing nine
months ending September 30, 2009 and twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and the reconciliation of the Company’s reported Earnings per share
to the calculation of Adjusted Earnings per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008.

The Company provides information regarding Return on Assets as the Company believes it provides investors with
useful information. Return on Assets is calculated by dividing Net Income/Loss by Total Assets as reported in the
Company's 10K and 10Q filings. No adjustment for dividends was made in this calculation. See the GAAP to Non-GAAP
Reconciliation for a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income in 2008.

The Company provides information regarding Return on Invested Capital as the Company believes it provides investors
with useful information. We consider our Invested Capital to be Total Assets less Accounts Payable and Accrued
Expenses & Other Current Liabilities as reported in the company's 10K and 10Q filings. Return on Invested Capital is
calculated by dividing Net Income/Loss (less any dividends) by Invested Capital. See the GAAP to Non-GAAP
Reconciliation for a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income in 2008.
