Exact text from the filing

As part of our plans to mitigate the impact, we have launched a new initiative to reduce our overall cost structure and ensure optimum supply to our European customers. This, along with further pricing, new business and productivity gains, is expected to deliver a strong acceleration in operating income growth. This sequentially improving operating performance is expected to be offset by unfavorable impacts from currency translation and interest expense, resulting in fourth quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share approaching last year’s $1.28.
