Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were $480.5 million, up 14.2% from $420.9 million from the third quarter last year.  Acquisitions less than 12 months old contributed approximately $31.5 million to the current period’s growth in revenues.  Revenues increased 16.0% compared with the prior period when adjusted for an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $8.0 million.  Gross profit was $215.6 million, up 13.4% from $190.1 million in the third quarter last year.  Gross profit as a percent of revenue was 44.9% compared with 45.2% in the third quarter of 2011.

* In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), reported earnings per share include the after-tax impact of the items identified in this table. For internal purposes, including the determination of management compensation, the Company excludes these items from results when evaluating operating performance. This table and the Company’s internal use of non-GAAP earnings per share are not intended to imply, and should not be interpreted as implying, that non-GAAP earnings per share is a better measure of performance than GAAP earnings per share.


Cash flow from operations was $277.1 million and $215.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
