Item 2.02 Result of Operations and Financial Condition.
On January 25, 2013, we announced our preliminary financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 30, 2012, and certain other information. This press release includes diluted earnings per share excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, restructuring charges recognized in both 2012 and 2011, and certain discrete income tax benefits related to the settlement of a tax examination in 2011. Management believes that the presentation of diluted earnings per share excluding the impact of exchange rates provides information that is helpful to an investor's understanding of the underlying business performance absent exchange rate fluctuations which are beyond the Company's control. Further, the Company provided the 2012 and 2011 diluted earnings per share absent restructuring charges and favorable tax adjustment to assist investors in understanding the comparability of the Company's results.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
The January 25, 2013 Press Release of the Company is furnished and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
