Note: The Company adopted two new accounting standards that change the way it accounts for sales incentives and the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets. Prior year net sales information has been revised to reflect the new sales incentive accounting method with no impact on operating profit, net income or earnings per share. As required, prior year results were not revised to reflect the new goodwill and intangible assets accounting method.
