Adjusted net income1 for the second quarter 2014 was $106.8 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, which was 18.6% of Net revenue.  This was an increase of 11.6% compared to Adjusted net income1 for the second quarter 2013 of $95.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, which was 18.9% of Net revenue.

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $1,127 million, an increase of $150.6 million, or 15.4%, from $976.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $132.3 million, or $0.76 per diluted share. This compares to Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $55.0 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. Adjusted net income1 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $204.9 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, which was 18.2% of Net revenue.

"We are pleased with our results for the second quarter with Net revenue and earnings near the top end of expectations thanks in part to strong organic growth in the business," said Martha Sullivan, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are also raising Net revenue guidance for the full year based on growth in acquired businesses."

The Company spent $37.1 million, or 6.4% of Net revenue, on research, development and engineering related costs in the second quarter of 2014 to fund growth initiatives.  These costs reside in both the Cost of revenue and the Research and development lines of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

The Company's ending cash balance at June 30, 2014 was $184.6 million.  During the first half of 2014, the Company generated cash of $217.4 million from operations, used cash of $176.4 million in investing activities and used cash of $174.2 million in financing activities.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $20.7 million for the second quarter 2014.  Approximately $8.3 million of the provision, or 6.0% of Adjusted EBIT, related to taxes that are payable in cash and approximately $12.4 million related to deferred income tax expense and other income tax expense.

The Company's total indebtedness at June 30, 2014 was $1.7 billion.  The Company's Net debt2 was $1.5 billion, resulting in a Net leverage ratio2 of 2.7x.

In February 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a $250 million share buyback program. During the second quarter, we repurchased 4.0 million ordinary shares under this program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $170 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure.  The Company defines Adjusted net income as follows: Net income before costs associated with debt refinancing and other financing activities, unrealized (gain)/loss on other hedges and (gain)/loss on currency remeasurement on debt, depreciation and amortization expense related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets and inventory, deferred income tax and other tax expense, amortization of deferred financing costs, restructuring and special charges, and other costs.  The Company believes Adjusted net income provides investors with helpful information with respect to the performance of the Company's operations, and management uses Adjusted net income to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted net income is not a measure of liquidity.  See the tables below which reconcile Net income to Adjusted net income and projected GAAP earnings per share to projected Adjusted net income per share.

The following unaudited table reconciles the Company's Net income to Adjusted net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

The Company's definition of Adjusted net income includes the current tax expense (benefit) that will be payable (realized) on the Company's income tax return and excludes deferred income tax and other tax expense.  As the Company treats deferred income tax and other tax expense as an adjustment to compute Adjusted net income, the deferred income tax effect associated with the reconciling items would not change Adjusted net income for each period presented.  The theoretical current income tax expense/(benefit)associated with the reconciling items above would be as follows: Depreciation and amortization expense related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets and inventory:  $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively; Restructuring and special charges:  $0.0 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0.0 million and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The following unaudited table identifies where in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations the adjustments to reconcile Net income to Adjusted net income were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
