Safe Harbor and Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures provide insight into selected financial information and should be evaluated in the context in
which they are presented.  These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be
considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP
financial measures as reported by us may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.  The
non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including the
related notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our
Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC.  We do not use these non-GAAP
financial measures for any purpose other than the reasons stated above.
This presentation includes certain financial measures computed using non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“non-
GAAP”) components as defined by the SEC. Certain profitability, earnings per share and cash flow information in this
presentation exclude special items which have been identified in our earnings releases as we believe that by reporting such
information, both management and investors are provided with meaningful supplemental information to understand and
analyze our underlying trends and other aspects of our financial performance. 
The statements in this presentation that use such words as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “contemplate,”
“estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” “may,” “will,”  or similar expressions are forward-looking statements.  They are subject 
to a number of factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from what is indicated here.  These factors
include general economic conditions, the level of customer demand particularly for capital projects in the markets we serve,
changes in supplier sales strategies or financial viability, risks associated with the sale of nonconforming products and
services, political, economic or currency risks related to foreign operations, inventory obsolescence, copper price fluctuation
customer viability, risks associated with accounts receivable, the impact of regulation and regulatory, investigative and legal
proceedings and legal compliance risks and risks associated with integration of acquired companies.  These uncertainties
may cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in any forward looking statements.  We do 
not undertake to update any forward looking statements.  Please see our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
filings for more information

2009
In
the
six
months
ended
July
3,
2009,
the
Company
reported
a
net
loss
from
continuing
operations
of
$72.9
million
(a
loss
of
$2.06
per
diluted share). During this period, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $100.0 million ($2.85 per diluted share), severance
charge
of
$5.7
million
($3.9
million
net
of
tax,
or
$0.11
per
diluted
share)
and
losses
due
to
the
cancellation
of
interest
rate
swaps
of
$2.1
million
($1.5
million
net
of
tax,
or
$0.04
per
diluted
share).
These
items
decreased
net
income
from
continuing
operations
for
the
six months ended July 3, 2009 by a combined $105.4 million ($2.90 per diluted share).
For
the
full
year
2009,
the
Company
reported
a
net
loss
from
continuing
operations
of
$44.1
million
(a
loss
of
$1.17
per
diluted
share).
In addition to the items above, during the remainder of 2009, the Company recorded foreign exchange related losses in Venezuela of
$18.0 million ($9.0 million net of tax, or $0.24 per diluted share) and a loss on the early retirement of debt of $1.1 million ($0.07 net of
tax,
or
$0.02
per
diluted
share),
which
were
partially
offset
by
the
tax
benefits
of
$4.8
million
($0.13
per
diluted
share).
Combined,
all
of these items decreased 2009 net income from continuing operations by $110.2 million ($3.06 per diluted share).
After adjusting for these items, net income from continuing operations would have been $32.5 million and $66.1 million in
the 6 and 12 months of fiscal 2009, respectively ($0.84 and $1.89 per diluted share, respectively).
2010
In the six months ended July 2, 2010, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $34.8 million ($0.98 per diluted
share).
During
this
period,
the
Company
recorded
a
pre-tax
loss
on
the
early
retirement
of
debt
of
$29.7
million
($18.4
million
net
of
tax,
or
$0.51
per
diluted
share)
and
a
foreign
exchange
gain
in
Venezuela
of
$2.1
million
($0.8
million
net
of
tax,
or
$0.02
per
diluted
share).  These items decreased 2010 net income from continuing operations by a combined $17.6 million ($0.49 per diluted share).
For the full year 2010, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $109.5 million ($3.08 per diluted share). In
addition to the items above, during the remainder of 2010, the Company recorded additional pre-tax losses on the early retirement of
debt of $2.2 million ($1.4 million net of tax, or $0.04 per diluted share) and recorded a reversal of prior years foreign taxes of $1.3
million
($0.03
per
diluted
share).
Combined,
all
of
these
items
decreased
2010
net
income
from
continuing
operations
by
$17.7
million
($0.50 per diluted share).
After adjusting for these items, net income from continuing operations would have been $52.4 million and $127.2 million in
the 6 and 12 months of fiscal 2010, respectively ($1.47 and $3.58 per diluted share, respectively).

a
European
restructuring charge of $5.3 million ($3.3 million net of tax, or $0.09 per diluted share). In addition to the restructuring charge, the
Company recorded a tax valuation allowance adjustment of $10.8 million ($0.31 per diluted share) during the second half of the year. 
Combined, all of these items increased 2011 net income from continuing operations by a combined $7.5 million ($0.22 per diluted
share).
After adjusting for these items, net income from continuing operations would have been $92.6 million and $193.2 million in
the 6 and 12 months of fiscal 2011, respectively ($2.56 and $5.49 per diluted share, respectively).
2012
In the first half of 2012, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $99.6 million ($2.90 per diluted share). During
this period, the Company recorded a charge for the interest and penalties associated with prior year income tax liabilities of $1.7
million ($1.1 million net of tax, or $0.03 per diluted share), an income tax benefit of $9.7 million ($0.28 per diluted share) primarily
related
to
the
reversal
of
deferred
income
tax
valuation
allowances
in
certain
foreign
jurisdictions
and
incremental
interest
of
$3.2
million ($2.1 million net of tax, or $0.06 per diluted share) associated with a bond offering completed in 2012.  These items increased
net income from continuing operations by a net amount of $6.5 million ($0.19 per diluted share).
After adjusting for these items, net income from continuing operations would have been $93.1 million ($2.71 per
diluted share).

In the trailing twelve months ending June 29, 2012, the Company recorded a charge for the interest and penalties associated with
2011
income
tax
liabilities
of
$1.7
million
($1.1
million
net
of
tax,
or
$0.03
per
diluted
share),
income
tax
benefits
of
$20.5
million
($0.59
per
diluted
share)
primarily
related
to
the
reversal
of
deferred
income
tax
valuation
allowances
in
certain
foreign
jurisdictions
and
incremental interest of $3.2 million ($2.1 million net of tax, or $0.06 per diluted share) associated with a bond offering completed in
2012.  These items increased net income from continuing operations by a net amount of $17.3 million ($0.50 per diluted share).
In the trailing twelve months ending July 1, 2011, the $5.3 million restructuring charge decreased operating income by $5.3 and net
income from continuing operations by $3.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.  The Company also repurchased a portion of its debt
which
resulted
in
the
recognition
of
a
pre-tax
loss
of
$2.2
million
($1.4
million,
net
of
tax,
or
$0.04
per
diluted
share)
and
recorded
a
tax
benefit of $1.3 million for the reversal of prior year foreign taxes ($0.03 per diluted share).
After adjusting for these items, net income from continuing operations over the trailing twelve months ending June 29, 2012 would
have been $193.7 million, or $5.64 per diluted share, which compares to adjusted net income from continuing operations of $167.4
million, or $4.67 per diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period (an increase of 21% per diluted share).
