NON-GAAP MEASURES
The difference between reported net sales growth (the most comparable GAAP measure) and organic sales growth (the non-GAAP measure) consists of the impact from foreign currency, acquisitions and divestitures. Please see Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 8-K filed on May 1, 2008 for further explanation of organic sales growth and adjusted EPS.
