Commenting on the results,
Gross margin for the fiscal 2014 second quarter was 29.3 percent, compared to 30.8 percent in the fiscal 2013 second quarter. The decrease in fiscal 2014 second quarter gross margin was the result of lower sales volumes and a less profitable mix of business. Year-to-date, gross margin was 30.2 percent, compared to 29.6 percent for the fiscal 2013 first half.
For the fiscal 2014 second quarter, marketing, engineering and
administrative (ME&A) expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 27.2
percent, compared to 23.2 percent for the fiscal 2013 second quarter.
ME&A expenses increased
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 is 54.9 percent, which is significantly higher than the prior year rate of 34.7 percent. However, the effective rates are inflated due to the non-deductibility of operating losses in a certain jurisdiction that is subject to a full valuation allowance. Adjusting for these non-deductible losses, the second quarter fiscal 2014 rate would have been approximately 29.8 percent, which is essentially in line with the adjusted fiscal 2013 rate of 31.2 percent. The effective rate for the first half of fiscal 2014 is 62.1 percent, which is significantly higher than the prior year rate of 38.3 percent. Adjusting both for the non-deductible losses, the first half fiscal 2014 rate would have been approximately 37.0 percent compared to 33.1 percent for fiscal 2013. The fiscal 2014 rate is somewhat higher due to discrete items recorded in the first quarter related to adjustments to tax on foreign earnings.

*Non-GAAP Financial Disclosures
Financial
information excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate
changes and the impact of acquisitions, if any, in this press release
are not measures that are defined in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles ("GAAP"). These items are measures that management believes
are important to adjust for in order to have a meaningful comparison to
prior and future periods and to provide a basis for future projections
and for estimating our earnings growth prospects. Non-GAAP measures are
used by management as a performance measure to judge profitability of
our business absent the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes
and acquisitions. Management analyzes the company's business performance
and trends excluding these amounts. These measures, as well as EBITDA,
provide a more consistent view of performance than the closest GAAP
equivalent for management and investors. Management compensates for this
by using these measures in combination with the GAAP measures. The
presentation of the non-GAAP measures in this press release are made
alongside the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Definition - Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
The sum of, net
earnings and adding back provision for income taxes, interest expense,
depreciation and amortization expenses: this is a financial measure of
the profit generated excluding the above mentioned items.
