(1) | Historically, our business has experienced higher sales and earnings in the second, third, and fourth quarters of the calendar year and we expect those trends to continue. Two principal factors contribute to this seasonality: (1) we are a major supplier of products related to the back-to-school season, which occurs principally from May through September for our businesses in North America and Mexico and from November through February for our Australian and Brazilian businesses; and (2) several product categories we sell lend themselves to calendar year-end purchase, including planners, paper storage, and organization products.
(2) The sum of the quarterly earnings per share amounts may not equal the total for the year due to the effects of rounding, dilution as a result of issuing shares of common stock and repurchasing of shares of common stock during the year.
