Quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to quarter ended June 30, 2010
 
Total revenues grew 18.1% to $410.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $347.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  Revenue growth in the United States was 18.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  Revenue growth in the United Kingdom was 14.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, consisting of 4.3% organic growth and 9.8% growth related to foreign currency exchange.  In the United States, our revenues attributable to existing customers represented 40% of the growth in revenues during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  Commissions grew 49.3% to $6.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The increase was primarily due to achieving an incentive from one of our vendors, which was not achieved in the prior fiscal year, as well as an increase in commission rates and gross billings from agency contracts.
 
Gross profit increased by 23.1% to $54.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $43.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues was 13.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to 12.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  This increase was due to the incentive that was discussed above and an overall increase in product margin, partially offset by a decrease in vendor rebates.  Vendor rebates for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 decreased by approximately $205,000 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
 
Operating income increased 24.1% to $18.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $15.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  SG&A expenses increased 22.7% to $33.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $27.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to compensation costs from increased headcount to support the revenue growth, as well as an increase in bank service fees related to customer credit card usage.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 8.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to 7.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
 
Net income increased 24.7% to $11.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $9.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.91 and $0.74 for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of 23.0%.
 
Nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to nine months ended June 30, 2010
 
Total revenues increased 31.4% to $1,144.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $870.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  Revenue growth in the United States was 22.4% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  Revenue growth in the United Kingdom was 108.2% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior year as we owned Centaur for the full nine months in this fiscal year compared to approximately five months in the same period in the prior fiscal year.  Commissions increased 30.6% to $15.8 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $12.1 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Gross profit increased by 29.9% to $155.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $119.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues was 13.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 13.7% for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues decreased due to the addition of Centaur because Centaur’s gross profit as a percentage of total revenues is generally lower than MWI’s, which serves to reduce the overall gross margin of the consolidated Company when compared to our results for the same period in the prior year.  Vendor rebates for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 increased by approximately $2.8 million compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Operating income increased 31.3% to $53.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $40.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  SG&A expenses increased 28.8% to $97.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $75.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 8.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 8.7% for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased due to the addition of Centaur because Centaur’s SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues are generally lower than MWI’s, which serves to reduce the overall SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues when compared to our results for the same period in the prior year.
 
Net income increased 32.1% to $32.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $24.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  Diluted earnings per share were $2.60 and $1.99 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of 30.7%.
 
Our cash balance as of June 30, 2011 was $989,000 and we had $13.9 million outstanding on our credit facilities. The increase in the outstanding balance on our credit facilities of $3.8 million from September 30, 2010 resulted primarily from the funding of investing activities, which included the Nelson acquisition, purchase of an office building for our headquarters in Boise, Idaho, an investment in a technology based inventory management business, and equipment for our new distribution center in Visalia, California, offset by cash generated from our operating activities.
Business Outlook

The Company estimates that for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, revenues will be from $1.53 billion to $1.54 billion, which represents growth of 24% to 25% compared to revenues in fiscal year 2010.  The Company estimates that diluted earnings per share will be from $3.37 to $3.40 per share, which represents growth of 25% to 26% compared to diluted earnings per share in fiscal year 2010.  The Company’s previous guidance for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011 was revenues from $1.49 billion to $1.52 billion and diluted earnings per share of $3.21 to $3.27.
