Exhibit A

Non-GAAP Measurements: The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP). In order to provide investors with additional information and more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s financial and operating results, the Company reports certain Non-GAAP financial measurements as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s Non-GAAP financial measurements reported for the periods presented in this release are: core gross profit, core SG&A expenses, core operating income, core EBITDA, core net income, core diluted EPS, core income before income taxes, and core effective tax rate. These Non-GAAP financial measurements are adjusted to exclude the following non-core items: facility closure expenses, acquisition expenses, integration expenses, and purchase accounting charges related to acquisitions. These Non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with an understanding of the Company’s gross profit, SG&A expenses, operating income, EBITDA, net income, diluted EPS, income before income taxes and effective tax rate adjusted to exclude the effect of the non-core items identified above. EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure used to measure operating results, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-operating income and expenses. We believe that these Non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making a consistent comparison of these measures for its three and six months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the results of the prior periods. In addition, management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures internally to perform trend analysis and analyze operating performance to ensure resources are allocated effectively. The Non-GAAP measures allow management to analyze trends and performance without masking or distorting the results with the special items identified by management.

The following tables show adjustments made to gross profit, SG&A expenses, operating income, EBITDA, income before income taxes, and effective tax rate, between reported GAAP and Non-GAAP results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

Core Gross Profit:

Core SG&A Expenses:

Core Operating Income and Core EBITDA:
