1) During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded restructuring and other special charges of $27.9 million. The charges included $4.0 million in severance and other
personnel costs along with $9.8 million in facility-related costs associated with the integration of Genzyme Genetics. The charges also included a $14.8 million write-off of an investment made in a prior year. The after tax impact of these charges decreased net earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, by $16.9 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.16 ($16.9 million divided by 103.2 million shares). |
|||||
|
2) During the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded net charges of $9.3 million relating to severance payments and the closing of redundant and underutilized facilities
as well as the write-off of development costs incurred on systems abandoned during the quarter. The after tax impact of these charges decreased net earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, by $5.7 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.05 ($5.7 million divided by 106.5 million shares). |
|||||
|
3) The Company continues to grow the business through acquisitions and has begun using Adjusted EPS Excluding Amortization as a measure of operational performance,
growth and shareholder returns. The Company believes adjusting EPS for amortization will provide investors with better insight into the operating performance of the business. For the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, intangible amortization was $21.9 million and $17.4 million, respectively ($13.2 million and $10.5 million net of tax, respectively) and decreased EPS by $0.13 ($13.2 million divided by 103.2 million shares) and $0.10 ($10.5 million divided by 106.5 million shares), respectively. |
