conducted a conference call on March 30, 2017 beginning at
approximately 10:30 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, to discuss the
Registrants unaudited financial results for the third quarter of
fiscal 2017 (the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2017).
Additionally, the Registrants management addressed certain issues
related to the outlook for the Registrant and its subsidiaries
and their markets for the coming months. A copy of the transcript
of the conference call is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by
reference.

The information contained in this Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1
furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K, is being
furnished to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed filed for purposes
of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

that Section, unless the Registrant specifically states that the
information is to be considered filed under the Exchange Act or
incorporates the information by reference into a filing under the

Exchange Act.

In the conference call, management referred to quarterly earnings
per share excluding restructuring. This represents a non-GAAP
financial measure and is used by management as a measure of
operating performance. Earnings per share, excluding
restructuring, is calculated by adding restructuring and other
expense (after-tax) to net earnings attributable to controlling
interest, and dividing the result by the average diluted common
shares for the period. The difference between the GAAP-based
financial measure of diluted earnings per share attributable to
controlling interest of $0.55 and the non-GAAP financial measure
of diluted earnings per share, excluding restructuring, of $0.57,
in each case for the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2017, as
mentioned in the conference call, is outlined below:

In the conference call, management referred to operating income,
excluding restructuring, for the Registrants Pressure Cylinders,
Steel Processing and Engineered Cabs operating segments. This
represents a non-GAAP financial measure and is used by management
as a measure of operating performance. Operating income,
excluding restructuring, is calculated by adding restructuring
and other expense to operating income. The difference between the
GAAP-based measure of operating income and the non-GAAP financial
measure of operating income, excluding restructuring, for the
fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2017, as mentioned in the
conference call, is outlined below for the Registrants Pressure
Cylinders, Steel Processing and Engineered Cabs operating

In the conference call, management referred to trailing twelve
months adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and

financial measure and is used by management as a measure of
operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding
restructuring and other expense, other non-recurring income, net,
interest expense, tax expense and depreciation and amortization
to net earnings attributable to controlling interest. The
difference between the GAAP-based measure of net earnings
attributable to controlling interest and the non-GAAP financial
