Outlook

Based on current expectations and the operating results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the company is reaffirming its fiscal year 2013 guidance for adjusted earnings from continuing operations of $1.20 to $1.30 per share.

GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations for fiscal year 2013 will include acquisition-related expenses, primarily related to DoubleDown, the amount of which are not determinable at this time. The company may also recognize charges for impairment, other acquisition-related expenses, resolution of certain tax items, and/or other items that are not currently determinable, but may be significant. For this reason, the Company is unable to provide estimates for full-year GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations at this time.

    We believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures, are useful because that
     information is an appropriate measure for evaluating our operating performance. Non-GAAP information is used to evaluate business performance and management's effectiveness. These
     measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures may
     not be calculated in the same manner by all companies and therefore may not be comparable.
