During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company's effective tax rate was higher than normal due to a lower mix of income earned in foreign jurisdictions, which have a lower statutory tax rate, and valuation allowances recorded in certain countries in EMEA. During the fourth quarter of the prior year, the Company recorded a tax benefit from a reorganization of certain of its foreign operations, primarily related to the recognition of foreign tax credits, which decreased the Company's effective tax rate.
* A tabular reconciliation of financial measures prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to non-GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release.
"Overall, 2012 was a productive year for our business. Market conditions were softer as macro-economic concerns globally led to lower capital spending for IT products, but we executed well in the environment; improving the overall profitability of our sales, investing strategically in sales and services resources, successfully integrating two acquisitions, and essentially completing our IT systems integration projects in Europe and North America," stated Ken Lamneck, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe these actions will position us well as we head through 2013," added Lamneck.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The non-GAAP financial measures exclude severance and restructuring expenses in 2012 and 2011, a gain on bargain purchase in 2012, and the tax effect of these items, as well as a tax benefit from a reorganization of certain foreign operations in 2011. The Company excludes these charges when internally evaluating earnings from operations, tax expense, net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the Company and earnings from operations for each of the Company's operating segments. These non-GAAP measures are used to evaluate financial performance against budgeted amounts, to calculate incentive compensation, to assist in forecasting future performance and to compare the Company's results to those of the Company's competitors. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency, facilitate comparisons to prior periods and the Company's competitors' results and assist in forecasting performance for future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
