Adjusted gross margin increased approximately 50 basis points to 28.1 percent, compared to adjusted gross margin of 27.6 percent for the same period in 2011. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased approximately 33 percent to $1.28 per diluted share, compared to $0.96 per diluted share for the same period in 2011.
