Highlight of Business Operations:

Cash and cash equivalents of $738.8 million at June 30, 2010 increased $24.4 million from the December 31, 2009 balance of $714.4 million. In addition, short-term investments at June 30, 2010 increased $10.9 million from the balance at December 31, 2009. Cash equivalents were invested in highly liquid investment grade money market instruments with a maturity of less than three months. Short-term investments consist of investment grade time deposits with original maturity dates between three months and one year.

Adjusted Working Capital (a non-GAAP measure calculated as accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable) increased from the prior year end by $161.7 million, or 14.8%, to $1,254.3 million which reflected an increase in receivables of $197.4 million, an increase in inventory of $100.8 million and an increase in accounts payable of $136.5 million generally due to higher sales volume. Excluding acquisitions and the effects of foreign exchange translation, Adjusted Working Capital would have increased by $190.7 million, or 17.5%. Average Annual Adjusted Working Capital as a percentage of revenue (a non-GAAP measure calculated as the five-quarter average balance of accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable divided by the trailing twelve months of revenue) decreased to 18.1% at June 30, 2010 from 19.9% at December 31, 2009 and inventory turns were 6.5 at June 30, 2010 compared to 6.2 at December 31, 2009.

Earnings from continuing operations for the second quarter increased 70.4% to $171.9 million, or $0.91 diluted EPS (EPS), compared to $100.9 million, or $0.54 EPS, in the prior year second quarter. The increase was primarily a result of end-market improvements across all of the Companys segments driving increased sales volume, coupled with the absence of significant restructuring charges in the current period and the benefits of restructuring initiatives from the prior year. Earnings from continuing operations for the first half of 2010 increased 81.1% to $293.4 million, or $1.55 diluted EPS, compared to $162.0 million, or $0.87 diluted EPS, in the prior year period primarily driven by the same factors.

The loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2010 was $2.0 million, or $0.01 EPS, compared to a second quarter 2009 loss of $3.8 million, or $0.02 EPS. The 2010 loss related primarily to a working capital adjustment and other tax adjustments on previously sold businesses. The 2009 loss related primarily to a loss from operations of $3.8 million, net of tax, related to a business held for sale at the time.

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Company had reserves related to severance and other restructuring activities of $7.6 million and $16.8 million, respectively. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded $0.2 million in additional charges and made $3.6 million in payments and other adjustments related to these reserves.
