(1) The decrease in operating income in the Americas for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012, is primarily the result of $28.3 million loss related to the closure of the operations in Brazil and Colombia during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

(2) The increase in goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets, net, at both January 31, 2012 and 2011, is the result of the European acquisitions completed during fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively (see further discussion in Note 4—Goodwill and Intangible Assets and Note 5—Acquisitions).
