Effective Tax Rate from Continuing Operations

Second Quarter

Year-to-Date

In addition, the Company's fiscal 2007 outlook and long-term growth rate goal for non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations excludes the impact of the proceeds from the planned PTS sale. As previously announced, the Company plans to use the net proceeds from the PTS sale to repurchase shares, which is expected to add materially to fiscal 2008 earnings per share. The Company is unable to reliably forecast the impact of the proceeds from the planned sale. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the Company's future earnings.

The Company presents non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations and growth rate, non-GAAP return on equity, and non-GAAP effective tax rate from continuing operations on a forward-looking basis. The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because the Company cannot reliably forecast special items and impairment charges and other, which are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events.

1 Due to the classification of the Company's PTS segment as discontinued operations, beginning with the fiscal 2007 second quarter, the Company calculates return on equity on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis with net earnings in the numerator of the calculation instead of earnings from continuing operations as in prior quarters. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company excludes the $425.0 million income tax benefit related to PTS discontinued operations in addition to special items.
