"Our businesses in Europe continue to post strong results," said Mr. Mitchell, "and while sales were down on a sequential basis due in part to fewer shipping days in the second quarter, the seasonal decline in our business was much less than what we have seen in the past several years."

Sales in the Asia/Pacific region increased 9% over the first quarter, and 46% from last year. "We have clearly stated that the Asia/Pacific region is a priority for us, and our execution of our customized strategies is enabling us to continue to grow at a significant pace," said Mr. Mitchell.

Worldwide computer products sales totaled $706.9 million, up 10% from the first quarter and up 29% over last year. Operating income as a percentage of sales was 4.5%, up 130 basis points sequentially and up 110 basis points over last year's second quarter.

"Our North American Computer Products business posted record results with sales up 10% on an adjusted basis sequentially and up 25% on an adjusted basis from last year's second quarter." added Mr. Mitchell. "This marked our 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year earnings growth."

 operating income, net income and net income per basic and diluted share, each as adjusted for certain charges, gain, and losses that the company believes impact the comparability of its results of operations. These charges, gain, and losses arise out of the company's acquisitions of other companies, the sale of property, the company's efficiency enhancement initiatives, and the prepayment of debt. Reconciliations of the company's non-GAAP financial information to GAAP are set forth in the table below.

The company believes that such non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors to assist in assessing and understanding the company's operating performance and underlying trends in the company's business because management considers the charges, gain, and losses referred to above to be outside the company's core operating results. This non-GAAP financial information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the company's financial and operating performance. In addition, the company's Board of Directors uses this non-GAAP financial information in evaluating management performance and setting management compensation.

The presentation of this additional non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or alternative to, operating income, net income and net income per basic and diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP.
