"Despite increased headwinds in certain of our end-markets, we delivered Adjusted net income for the second quarter in line with our expectations," said Martha Sullivan, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "We remain on-track for 2015 to be a year of strong double-digit growth and we are undertaking certain cost-containment activities to ensure profitability remains high for the balance of the year."

The Company spent $56.1 million, or 7.3% of Net revenue, on research, development and engineering related costs in the second quarter of 2015 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 recorded a provision for income taxes of $8.6 million for the second quarter 2015.  Approximately $8.2 million of the provision, or 5.1% of Adjusted EBIT, related to taxes that are payable in cash and approximately $0.4 million related to deferred and other income tax expense.

The Company's total indebtedness at June 30, 2015 was $2.7 billion.  The Company's Net debt2 was $2.5 billion, resulting in a Net leverage ratio2 of 3.8x as of June 30, 2015.

Guidance

The Company anticipates Net revenue of $715 to $755 million for the third quarter 2015 which, at the midpoint, is 27% higher than third quarter 2014 Net revenue of $577.1 million.  The Company further anticipates Adjusted EBITDA3 of $176 to $188 million for the third quarter 2015.  In addition, the Company expects Adjusted net income1 of $117 to $127 million, or $0.68 to $0.74 per diluted share for the third quarter 2015.  This guidance assumes a diluted share count of 171.8 million for the third quarter 2015.

For the full year 2015, the Company anticipates Net revenue of $2.99 to $3.07 billion which, at the midpoint, is 26% higher than the full year 2014 net revenue of $2.41 billion.  The Company further anticipates Adjusted EBITDA3 of $735 to $765 million for the full year 2015.  In addition, the Company expects Adjusted net income1 of $491 to $511 million, or $2.86 to $2.98 per diluted share for the full year 2015.  At the midpoint, this represents 23% growth compared to full year 2014 Adjusted net income1 per diluted share of $2.38.  This guidance assumes a diluted share count of 171.7 million for the full year 2015.

1See Non-GAAP Measures for discussion of Adjusted net income which includes a reconciliation of this measure to Net income.

2Net debt represents total indebtedness including Capital lease and other financing obligations, less Cash and cash equivalents.  The Net leverage ratio represents Net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted net income as follows: Net income before certain restructuring and special charges, costs associated with financing and other transactions, deferred loss/(gain) on other hedges, 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, and other costs. The Company believes Adjusted net income provides investors with helpful information with respect to the Company's operating performance, 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, 2015 and 2014.

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/(benefit).  As the Company treats deferred income tax and other tax expense/(benefit) 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 any 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, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively; Restructuring and special charges:  $1.0 million and $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1.1 million and $0.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The following unaudited table identifies where in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations the adjustments to reconcile Net income to Adjusted net income were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.  Estimates used may change as new events occur or additional information is obtained.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
