Words such as “plan,” “continue,” “expect,” “expected,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “may,” “potential,” “can,” “positioned,” “should,” “future,” “look forward” and similar expressions, or the negative of those expressions, may identify forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted earnings per diluted share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA and operating free cash flow. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables “Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Measures” for the three-, nine- and 12-months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and in the paragraphs below. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the Company's operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered

4

in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. They should be read only in connection with the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Company defines EBITDA as net income (a GAAP measure) before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of long lived assets, equity in the earnings of non-consolidated affiliates and stock based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of long lived assets, equity in the earnings of non-consolidated affiliates, stock based compensation and acquisition-related expenses, including integration and restructuring charges. The Company's management believes that these presentations provide useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of the Company as well as a component of performance-based executive compensation.

For the three-, nine and trailing 12-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA were calculated as follows:

	3-Months Ended						9-Months Ended						Trailing 12 Months
	3/31/2013			3/31/2012			3/31/2013			3/31/2012			3/31/2013			3/31/2012
Net Income	$	40,715		$	24,107		$	88,723		$	55,835		$	112,113		$	68,683

Stock based compensation	3,236			2,558			9,837			6,321			11,807			8,064
EBITDA	$	59,813		$	51,010		$	164,113		$	125,937		$	224,528		$	161,452
Acquisition related expenses and restructuring charges	1,856			549			6,272			7,501			(8,511		)	7,534
Adjusted EBITDA	$	61,669		$	51,559		$	170,385		$	133,438		$	216,017		$	168,986

The Company defines Operating Free Cash Flow as cash provided from or used in operating activities (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. The Company views operating free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor in evaluating the amount of cash available for discretionary investments.

For the trailing 12-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, operating free cash flow was calculated as follows:

	12-Months Ended 3/31/2013			12-Months Ended 3/31/2012
Cash flow provided by operating activities	$	112,104		$	95,947
Purchases of property, plant and equipment	(56,516		)	(16,622		)
Operating free cash flow	$	55,588		$	79,325

Operating free cash flow for the trailing 12-months this year was $55.6 million, a decrease of 30% from $79.3 million in the prior year. The decrease is principally the result of expenditures on several major capital projects during the latest 12-months, as we invested almost $40 million more on capital projects in our latest 12-months as compared to a year ago.
