We also strengthened relationships with our partners and increased investments in research and development initiatives. 2011 represents another year of record sales and profitability, validating robust demand for our products worldwide."
Mr. Lamb added, "In 2011, our top line performance was driven by double-digit increases in sales of CLAVEs as well as oncology and TEGO products. Our international sales were up 14%, while domestic sales grew 4% year over year. Annual gross margins expanded 122 basis points to 47.1%."
"Entering the new fiscal year, we believe that our diverse product offering, commitment to innovation and solid balance sheet position us well for growth in 2012 and beyond.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our fourth quarter and fiscal year results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), we have provided additional measures of related SG&A expenses, gain on sale of assets, income from operations, provision for income taxes, net income and diluted net income per share to exclude certain gains and expenses, in connection with the related SG&A expenses, gain and related income tax expense resulting from our sale of assets related to our diabetes infusion set business. We discuss these non-GAAP measures because we believe these metrics provide additional insight into underlying operating results and prospects for the future, allowing investors to assess certain business trends in the same way that these trends are utilized by management in its financial and operational decision making. Non- GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures.
