Non-GAAP net earnings attributable to common shareholders totaled $92.9 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $98.0 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. Third-quarter non-GAAP net earnings attributable to common shareholders exclude restructuring and impairment charges and acquisition-related expenses in both years, as well as the recognition of a tax provision related to certain foreign earnings no longer considered to be permanently reinvested in 2012, and in 2011, the loss on debt extinguishment and the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits. For non-GAAP comparison purposes, the effective tax rate increased to 33.1 percent in the third quarter of 2012 from 24.1 percent in the third quarter of 2011, primarily due to certain state tax matters in the third quarter of 2011. A reconciliation of GAAP net earnings attributable to common shareholders to non-GAAP net earnings attributable to common shareholders is presented in the attached schedules.
