Fourth Quarter Results

Olivier Filliol, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Results were solid in Europe and the Americas. As expected, weaker demand in China was offset by better conditions in other regions within Asia / Rest of World.

Cost Control Measures

As part of previously-announced cost control measures, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $6.1 million in the quarter and $19.8 million for the full year of 2013.

Outlook

The Company updated its outlook for 2014 and noted that continued uncertainty in demand in many markets makes forecasting difficult. Based on today's assessment, management anticipates that local currency sales growth in 2014 will be in the range of 3% to 4% and Adjusted EPS in the range of $11.40 to $11.60, an increase of8% to 10%. This compares to previous guidance of Adjusted EPS in the range of $11.35 to $11.55.

The Company stated that based on its assessment of market conditions today, management anticipates that local currency sales growth in the first quarter of 2014 will be approximately 3%. This sales growth will result in Adjusted EPS in the range of $1.93 to $1.98, an increase of 5% to 8%.

Adjusted EPS excludes purchased intangible amortization, discrete tax items, restructuring charges and other one-time items. While the Company has provided an outlook for Adjusted EPS, it has not provided an outlook for EPS as it would require an estimate of non-recurring items, which are not yet known.

Conclusion

Filliol concluded, “Market conditions appear to have stabilized in the developed world and we are cautiously optimistic for these regions in 2014. Globally we continue to leverage our spinnaker sales and marketing programs to gain share and are selectively adding field resources to pursue additional growth opportunities. We also continue to make significant investments for long term growth through our investments in product development, Blue Ocean and other areas. We remain confident in our long term prospects.”
