Commentary and Guidance:
“Our Americas region is performing well, fueled by strength in our U.S. business. In EMEA, our growth initiatives and reallocation of resources to the stronger sub-regions are partially counter balancing the weak macro-economy, enabling our EMEA revenues to be down only slightly when compared with the prior year. During the quarter, our revenues were below our internal expectation, but profitability was maintained through reductions in selling, general, and administrative expenses, including reduced incentive compensation,” said Brady’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Frank M. Jaehnert. “After quarter-end, we completed two acquisitions for a purchase price of approximately $36 million. These two acquisitions, Pervaco AS in Norway and Runelandhs Försäljnings AB in Sweden expand our presence in the Scandanavian region, which is an under-penetrated market for Brady. We also announced the acquisition of Grafo Wiremarkers Africa (Pty) Ltd in South Africa during the third quarter, which is our first acquisition on the African continent.”
“Our balance sheet is strong with $374.4 million of cash and $342.1 million of debt as of April 30, 2012 and our acquisition pipeline is robust,” said Brady’s Chief Financial Officer, Thomas J. Felmer. “In Asia, we are working to improve the profitability of the business as the changes that we announced last quarter related to the separation of our die-cut business and our MRO and identification businesses into two distinct and separate operations are starting to take hold. Our new management team is in place in Asia and driving hard to deliver results. Because of the ongoing weaknesses in our Asian die-cut business and the weak macro-environment in Europe, we are modifying our full year fiscal 2012 guidance range for earnings per diluted Class A Common Share, exclusive of after-tax restructuring charges and the Asia goodwill impairment to between $2.15 and $2.25; down from our previous guidance range of $2.20 to $2.40 per diluted Class A Common Share.”

NON-GAAP MEASURES | |
(in thousands) | |
In accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in the earnings release and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. | |
EBITDA: | |
Brady is presenting EBITDA because it is used by many of our investors and lenders, and is presented as a convenience to them. EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash impairment charges. EBITDA is not a calculation based on generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The amounts included in the EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income data. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity. The EBITDA measure presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation. |
