Consolidated Historical Financial Performance 18 ($ in millions) 2011 2012 2013 1H 2014 Net sales $ 688.7 $ 803.2 $ 851.3 $ 434.8 % Growth 8.8% 16.6% 6.0% Cost of sales 533.3 613.4 646.2 329.1 Gross profit $ 155.4 $ 189.8 $ 205.1 $ 105.7 % Margin 22.6% 23.6% 24.1% 24.3% Operating expenses 122.2 138.3 134.5 69.0 Operating income $ 33.2 $ 51.5 $ 70.6 $ 36.7 % Margin 4.8% 6.4% 8.3% 8.4% Interest expense 16.4 21.4 8.8 1.9 Debt settlement charges - 3.5 8.7 - Other expense 0.2 0.7 0.1 0.3 Pretax income $ 16.6 $ 25.9 $ 53.0 $ 34.5 * Consolidated financial results reflect only continuing operations of the Company.

Our effective book tax rate before special items is expected to increase to approximately 32-34% in 2014 as a result of the Company no longer being in a full deferred tax valuation allowance position in the U.S. after 2013. The Company's cash tax payment obligations are not impacted by this change. A reconciliation of adjusted earnings per share is included in Appendix 1. Q1 Outlook represents improvement of 24-30% over 2013 normalized EPS Q2 Full Year Range $0.83- 0.87
Capital Allocation Priorities • Cash flow potential is improved 2013 free cash flow of $68 M* At 0.8 times adjusted EBITDA, debt is already low • Funding of internal growth opportunities Projects leverage existing businesses and generally require limited cash investment Already largely funded within operations • Tuck-in acquisitions Targeting opportunities which can be leveraged or grow core operations, are modest size (+/- $50 M), with returns greater than FSS cost of capital, and accretive within a year • Quarterly dividend Declared $0.03 per share quarterly dividend in April 2014 and July 2014 • Share repurchase program Announced authorization to repurchase up to $15 million of company stock Primarily intended to reduce the allocation of investment of company stock within the U.S. Pension plan and to offset dilution resulting from employee equity incentive programs. 20 * Calculated as operating income of $70.6 M, plus D&A of $14.2 M, plus stock-based compensation of $4.0 M, less capital expenditures of $17.0 M, less current tax provision of $3.4 M (which excludes use of deferred tax assets such as net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards).
