Third Quarter Results
Olivier Filliol, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, Business demand was strong and
broad-based in the quarter, with most product lines and geographies achieving excellent sales
growth. Despite tough currency headwinds on earnings, we had very good growth in operating profit
and EPS.
EPS was $2.09, compared with the prior-year amount of $1.82. Adjusted EPS was $2.01, an increase
of 18% over the prior-year amount of $1.71.
Sales were $601.1 million, a 15% increase in local currency sales, compared with $490.2 million in
the prior year. Reported sales growth was 23%, which included an 8% benefit from currency. By
region, local currency sales increased 16% in Europe, 10% in the Americas and 21% in Asia / Rest of
World. Adjusted operating income amounted to $98.5 million, a 15% increase from the prior-year
amount of $85.8 million. Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure, and a reconciliation to
earnings before taxes is provided in the attached schedules.
Cash flow from operations was $84.1 million, compared with $86.0 million in the prior year.
Nine Month Results
EPS was $5.31, compared with the prior-year amount of $4.41. Adjusted EPS was $5.35, an increase
of 22% over the prior-year amount of $4.39.
Sales were $1.661 billion, a 14% increase in local currency sales, compared with $1.375 billion in
the prior year. Reported sales growth was 21%, which included a 7% benefit from currency. By
region,
local currency sales increased 14% in Europe, 10% in the Americas and 21% in Asia / Rest of World.
Adjusted operating income amounted to $266.8 million, an 18% increase from the prior-year amount of
$226.1 million. Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure, and a reconciliation to earnings
before taxes is provided in the attached schedules.

Cash flow from operations was $177.7 million, compared with $205.3 million in the prior year.
Outlook
Based on todays assessment, management anticipates that local currency sales growth in the
fourth quarter will be in the range of 4% to 6% and Adjusted EPS in the range of $2.75 to $2.80, an
increase of 7% to 9%. The Company stated that Adjusted EPS guidance for the fourth quarter
(and full year 2011) is negatively impacted due to unfavorable currency rates, principally due to
the strengthening of the Swiss franc versus the euro.
For the full year 2011, local currency sales growth is expected to be in the range of 11% to
12% and Adjusted EPS in the range of $8.09 to $8.14, an increase of 17%. This compares with
previous guidance of Adjusted EPS in the range of $7.95 to $8.05.
The Company stated that based on its assessment of market conditions today, management anticipates
local currency sales growth in 2012 will be in the range of 4% to 7% while Adjusted EPS will be in
the range of $9.00 to $9.30. Using the midpoint of the 2011 Adjusted EPS range, this reflects an
increase of 11% to 15%.
Adjusted EPS excludes purchased intangible amortization, discrete tax items, restructuring
charges and other one-time items. While the Company has provided an outlook for Adjusted
EPS, it has not provided an outlook for EPS as it would require an estimate of non-recurring items,
which are not yet known.
Conclusion
Filliol concluded, We are very pleased with our competitive position and the strong momentum in
our business. We expect to continue to strengthen our leadership positions and grow faster than
the underlying markets. However, we recognize we are not immune to economic weakness and remain
alert to signs of market weakness. Based on market conditions today, we are assuming that economic
growth will continue but at a slower rate than 2011. Most importantly, we remain confident in the
strength of the franchise, the execution of our strategies and our ability to compete effectively
in our markets.
