OTHER ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY

Our primary measure of segment performance excludes certain items we do not believe are representative of the ongoing operations of the segment. We believe that excluding these items from our segment measure of performance allows for better comparison of results. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred charges of $1.8 million related to professional fees associated with cost savings initiatives. This charge was recorded within "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
