Adjusted earnings per share increased 42% to $0.44, marking the 18th consecutive quarter of double-digit adjusted earnings per share growth; GAAP EPS totaled $0.31 versus $0.16 in the prior year quarter, a 94% increase
Our commitment to these values, underpinned by the execution of our four-pillar strategy, has led to 18 consecutive quarters of strong, double-digit adjusted earnings per share growth.
In this regard, we remain very focused on our stated goal of $2.50 adjusted earnings per share by 2015, and we also expect strong double-digit EPS growth for many years to follow."
