Comments & Business Outlook

Guidance Report:

“Our outlook for resin in 2009 mirrors the forecast from Chemical Market Associates, Inc., which assumes a gradual increase in resin costs as the year progresses. That viewpoint on resin and the assumption that the economy will perform at its current level are key factors in determining our outlook. We feel both are reasonable perspectives at this time.”

2009 Full Year Guidance

Revenue Guidance	*2009 EPS Guidance	*2008 Reported EPS	Implied Growth Rate
$3.03 billion to $3.14 billion	$1.97 to $2.17	$1.75	12.57% to 24%

* EPS Figures exclude one time gains and losses (Non-Gaap).
