Supplemental Information – Cash Flow
(Unaudited)
For the quarter ended December 31, 2011

Capital expenditures for the second quarter were $45 million versus $55 million in the year-ago quarter.

Depreciation and amortization was $43 million for both the current and year-ago quarter.

Net cash provided by continuing operations in the second quarter decreased to $37 million from $44 million in the year-ago quarter. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to changes in working capital.

(4)   Represents a two-point average of working capital divided by annualized net sales (current quarter net sales x 4).
