|
Net
sales decreased 21 percent (15 percent excluding the impact of foreign
currency translation) to $666.3 million in the first quarter of 2009 from
$846.3 million in the first quarter of
2008.
|
·
|
Net
income before special items, as defined below, was $21.7 million ($0.38
per diluted Class A share) in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $68.6
million ($1.16 per diluted Class A share) in the first quarter of
2008. GAAP net income was $1.3 million ($0.03 per diluted Class
A share) and $60.7 million ($1.03 per diluted Class A share) in the first
quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the first
quarter of 2008, the Company recognized a net gain of $20.9 million ($0.35
per diluted Class A share) related to the divestiture of business units in
Australia and Zimbabwe, which was included in both net income before
special items and GAAP net income.
|

|
During
2009 approximately $50 million of additional GBS savings are expected to
be achieved through the Company’s Operational Excellence and Global
Sourcing initiatives.
|
|
·
|
Accelerated
GBS initiatives are also being implemented that include continuation of
active portfolio management, further administrative excellence activities,
a hiring and salary freeze, and curtailed discretionary
spending. These actions are expected to result in an additional
$50 million of savings during 2009.
