NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include (i) forecasted 2013 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, which excludes the effect of our restructuring programs and asset impairments, intangible amortization expense and the amortization of debt discount on convertible notes; (ii) forecasted 2012 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, which excludes the effect of a goodwill impairment charge, special items, intangible amortization expense and the amortization of debt discount on convertible notes; and (iii) constant currency revenue growth, which excludes the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period. Management believes these measures are useful to investors because they eliminate items that do not reflect Teleflex's day-to-day operations. In addition, management uses these financial measures for internal managerial purposes, when publicly providing guidance on possible future results, and to assist in our evaluation of period-to-period comparisons. These financial measures are presented in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. A table reconciling adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth above. A reconciliation of forecasted constant currency revenue growth to GAAP forecasted growth has not been provided as management is unable to forecast trends in foreign currency exchange rates.
