Internally, management reviews sales on a value-added basis. Value-added sales is a non-GAAP measure that deducts the value of the pass-through metals sold from sales. Value-added sales allows management to assess the impact of differences in sales between periods or segments and analyze the resulting margins and profitability without the distortion of the movements in pass-through metal prices. The dollar amount of gross margin and operating profit is not affected by the value-added sales calculation. The Company sells other metals and materials that are not considered direct pass throughs and their costs are not deducted from sales to calculate value-added sales. The Company's pricing policy is to pass the cost of these metals on to customers in order to mitigate the impact of price volatility on the Company's results from operations. Value-added information is being presented since changes in metal prices may not directly. impact profitability. It is the Company's intent to allow users of the financial statements to review sales with and without the impact of the pass-through metals. Third Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended

As detailed in the above reconciliation, we have adjusted out the cost (benefit) impact of the plant consolidation and product line reoganization efforts in and the net recovery from insurance and other litigation claims in our All Other segment from the applicable GAAP measure. Internally, management reviews the results of operations without the impact of these costs in o rder to assess the profitability from ongoing activities. We are providing this information because we believe it will assist investors in analyzing our financial results and, when viewed in conjunction with the GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understan ding of the factors and trends affecting our operations.
