Core EPS increased 6% to $4.02 in 2013 primarily due to
increased net sales, gross margin expansion and the
reduction in shares outstanding. Core EPS represents diluted
net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding
the 2013 charge for the balance sheet impact from the
devaluation of the official foreign exchange rate in
Venezuela, the 2013 holding gain on the purchase of the
balance of our Iberian joint venture and charges in both
years for European legal matters, incremental restructuring
related to our productivity and cost savings plan and
impairments of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets.
