Pro forma results of operations

The following unaudited pro forma information illustrates the effect on the Company’s revenue and net earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, assuming that the 2012 acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of 2011. As a result, the supplemental pro forma net earnings reflect adjustments to the net earnings as reported in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 to exclude $1,460 and $3,285, respectively, of acquisition-related costs (after-tax) and $5,826 and $6,642, respectively, of nonrecurring expense related to the fair value adjustments to acquisition-date inventory (after-tax).  The supplemental pro forma earnings for the comparable 2011 periods were adjusted to include these charges as if they were incurred at the beginning of 2011. The 2012 and 2011 supplemental pro forma earnings are also adjusted to reflect the comparable impact of additional depreciation and amortization expense (net of tax) resulting from the fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets relating to 2012 and 2011 acquisitions.
