RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)
(In thousands of dollars except per share data)
Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles) information excluding the restructuring charge from prior year
results is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2008 financial
performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes
that excluding this item allows for a more meaningful comparison of current
period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods.
These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because
they exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and
earnings per share. As a result, Management considers these measures,
along with reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company's
financial performance. Management believes that these measures provide
greater transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management
is evaluating the Company's financial performance. Non-GAAP measures
should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of
financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
