During the year, Deneb received insurance proceeds for business interruption and flood
damage. As these proceeds are non-recurring, we are of the opinion that providing
earnings on an adjusted basis is meaningful disclosure to shareholders:

to 18 cents per share, from 33 cents per share in the prior corresponding period.
Adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) decreased by 10 cents per share (34%) to 19 cents
per share, from 29 cents per share in the prior corresponding period.
