Third quarter 2015 net income was $21.8 million versus net income of $37.9 million in the prior year period. EPS for Q3 2015 was $0.38 versus $0.67 in the prior year period. In Q3 2015, foreign currency negatively impacted EPS by $0.07.

Excluding these charges from Q3 2015 and Q3 2014, net income would have been $22.5 million and $38.3 million, respectively, and EPS would have been $0.39 and $0.68, respectively.

Q3 2015 Debt and Cash Summary
The Company ended Q3 2015 with a cash balance of $212 million. Following the end of the quarter, Ms. Winfrey made a $43.2 million equity investment in the Company. The Company plans to use cash to repay in full its $144 million debt obligations due in April 2016.

Full Year Fiscal 2015 Earnings Guidance
The Company raised its full year fiscal 2015 earnings guidance to between $0.64 and $0.74 per fully diluted share, which is based on a weighted 59.0 million shares outstanding, from between $0.57 and $0.72 per fully diluted share, which was based on 57.2 million shares outstanding. This increase in shares outstanding resulting from Ms. Winfrey's Q4 2015 equity investment in the Company will have a negative impact of $0.02 per fully diluted share, which is included in the Company's updated earnings guidance. This updated guidance excludes the negative impact of one-time transaction expenses associated with the Company entering into its previously announced partnership with Ms. Winfrey and $0.14 per fully diluted share of stock option expense in connection with the Company granting Ms. Winfrey a fully vested option to purchase 3.5 million shares, both of which occurred in Q4 2015. Both the prior and updated earnings guidance exclude the restructuring charges for fiscal 2015 and the gains associated with the early extinguishment of debt in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2015.

Third Quarter 2015 Conference Call

The Company has scheduled a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET. During the conference call, Jim Chambers, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Nick Hotchkin, Chief Financial Officer, will discuss the third quarter 2015 results and answer questions from the investment community.

Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following provides information regarding non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release:

To supplement the Company's consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Net income, earnings per fully diluted share, operating income and operating income margin, gross profit and gross profit margin, and selling, general and administrative expenses are discussed in this release both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis), as applicable, as follows: (i) with respect to the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, to exclude the impact of charges associated with the Company's previously disclosed plans to restructure its organization; (ii) with respect to the first nine months of fiscal 2015, to exclude the impact from the gains on early extinguishment of debt associated with the Company's previously reported debt prepayments in the period; and (iii) with respect to the first nine months of fiscal 2014, to exclude the impact of (a) the net tax benefit associated with an intercompany loan write-off in connection with the closure of the Company's China business and the establishment of a valuation allowance related to tax benefits for foreign losses that are not expected to be realized and (b) the gain recognized in connection with the Company's previously disclosed Brazil acquisition due to an adjustment of the Company's previously held equity interest to fair value offset by a charge associated with the settlement of the royalty-free arrangement of the Brazil partnership. In addition, the Company presents certain of its financial results on a constant currency basis in addition to GAAP results. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. In this release and any attachments, the Company calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors' evaluation of the Company's business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company's business. While management believes that these financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company's business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" attached to this release and reconciliations, if any, included elsewhere in this release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
