Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 declined 10% from the prior year third quarter as a 7% increase in net sales in the Furniture segment was more than offset by a 19% decline in net sales in the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) segment. The decline in net sales in the EMS segment resulted from the previously announced expiration of a contract with one large medical customer (Bayer AG) late in fiscal year 2011 which accounted for a $45.7 million reduction in net sales in the current year third quarter compared to the third quarter of the prior year. Excluding sales to this customer, current year third quarter consolidated net sales increased 6% compared to the prior year.

Third quarter gross profit as a percent of net sales improved 1.7 percentage points from the prior year third quarter due to a shift in sales mix towards the Furniture segment which carries a higher gross profit percentage than the EMS segment and improved margins in the EMS segment.

Consolidated third quarter selling and administrative expenses increased 2% compared to the prior year as benefits realized from restructuring activities in the EMS segment were more than offset by increased selling and administrative costs in the Furniture segment and by an unfavorable impact of the normal revaluation to fair value of the Company's Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP) liability. The SERP liability revaluation has an exact offsetting impact in Other Income/Expense where the SERP investment revaluation is recorded resulting in no impact to the Company's consolidated net income.

Restructuring expense in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 of $0.9 million was related to wrap-up activities associated with the facility consolidation plans within the EMS segment.

Other Income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $1.2 million compared to $0.9 million in the prior year third quarter, as the favorable impact of the SERP investment revaluation discussed above was





partially offset by unfavorable net foreign currency exchange movement in the EMS segment.

Operating cash flow for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 was a cash inflow of $28.8 million compared to an operating cash inflow of $13.4 million in the third quarter of the prior year.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased to $54.5 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $51.4 million at June 30, 2011. The Company had no short-term borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2012 or June 30, 2011. Long-term debt including current maturities remains at $0.3 million.

James C. Thyen, Chief Executive Officer and President, stated, "We saw solid earnings performance from our EMS segment during the third quarter, despite the 19% reduction in sales. Excluding non-operating items, this is the best quarterly net income performance from the EMS segment since the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. We are seeing the benefits from our focused margin-improvement initiatives and from our past restructuring activities favorably impacting the bottom line."

Mr. Thyen continued, "After a strong performance in the second quarter, our Furniture segment ended with a loss for the third quarter, partially resulting from the normal seasonal slowdown in the office furniture industry. New orders in this segment slowed during the third quarter, although we did see a pick-up late in the quarter. While leading order activities such as customer visits and project quotes remain strong, we believe our fourth quarter will continue to be challenging in this segment."

Fiscal year 2012 third quarter net sales in the EMS segment decreased 19% compared to the third quarter of the prior year as decreased net sales to customers in the medical, industrial, and public safety industries more than offset an increase in net sales to customers in the automotive industry as the U.S. automotive market remains healthy. As discussed above, the decline in net sales to the medical industry resulted from the previously announced expiration of a contract with one large customer late in fiscal year 2011 which accounted for a $45.7 million reduction in net sales in the current year third quarter compared to the third quarter of the prior year. Excluding sales to this customer, current year third quarter net sales in the EMS segment increased 5% compared to the prior year.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales in the EMS segment for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 improved 1.9 percentage points when compared to the third quarter of the prior year primarily related to a sales mix shift to higher margin product and benefits realized related to restructuring activities in which two facilities were closed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Selling and administrative costs in this segment declined 13% in the fiscal year 2012 third quarter when compared to the prior year on the benefits realized from the restructuring activities. As a percent of net sales, selling and administrative costs increased 0.5 percentage points due to the lower sales volumes.

Fiscal year 2012 third quarter net sales of furniture products increased 7% compared to the prior year on increased net sales of hospitality furniture.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales declined 1.5 percentage points in the Furniture segment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 when compared to the prior year. Third quarter earnings were unfavorably impacted by excess operating capacity at select locations; a shift in sales mix; higher commodity, freight and fuel costs; and increased costs for supplier-related issues. On the favorable side, third quarter earnings in this segment benefited from recent price increases, lower discounting, and the recovery of previously paid import duties related to a retroactive change in the tariff rate.

Selling and administrative costs in the Furniture segment for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 increased 5% when compared to the prior year on higher labor and employee benefit costs and higher incentive compensation costs. As a percent of net sales, fiscal year 2012 third quarter selling and administrative expenses improved 0.4 percentage points compared to the prior year on the leverage from the increase in revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated basis used within this release include 1) net sales excluding sales to Bayer AG, 2) operating income excluding restructuring charges, 3) net income excluding restructuring charges, and 4) earnings per Class B diluted share excluding restructuring charges. The non-GAAP financial measures on a segment basis used within this release include 1) net sales excluding sales to Bayer AG, 2) operating income excluding restructuring charges and 3) net income excluding restructuring charges. Reconciliations of the reported GAAP numbers to these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the Financial Highlights table below. Management believes it is useful for investors to understand how its core operations performed without the effects of the costs incurred in executing its restructuring plans. Excluding the restructuring charges allows investors to meaningfully trend, analyze, and benchmark the performance of the Company's core operations. Many of the Company's internal performance measures that management uses to make certain operating decisions exclude these charges to enable meaningful trending of core operating metrics.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained within this release are considered forward-looking under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the global economic conditions, significant volume reductions from key contract customers, significant reduction in customer order patterns, loss of key customers or suppliers within specific industries, financial stability of key customers and suppliers, availability or cost of raw materials, increased competitive pricing pressures reflecting excess industry capacities, and successful execution of restructuring plans. Additional cautionary statements regarding other risk factors that could have an effect on the future performance of the Company are contained in the Company's Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
