Third-Quarter 2016 Outlook

Our Adjusted Net Income per diluted share range assumes a fully diluted weighted average share count of approximately 202 million. At the mid-point of the ranges, our third-quarter sales and Adjusted EBITDA translate into approximately +4 percent growth and flat, respectively, versus prior year.
Based on year-to-date progress and the current third quarter outlook, we now estimate that we will achieve between flat and 300 basis points of sales growth in excess of market for the fiscal year 2016. This equates to approximately 3 to 6 percent annual year over year sales growth. Additionally, based on year-to-date progress and the current third quarter outlook, we estimate that we will achieve an operating leverage range for the fiscal year 2016 of between 1.0 and 1.5 times. We continue to believe that 300 basis points of growth in excess of market growth and 1.5 to 2.0 times operating leverage in 2017 and beyond is the appropriate target.
