Quarterly profit fell to $4.8 million, or 12 cents per share, from $5 million, or 12 cents per share last year. Excluding one-time items, including a deferred compensation expense adjustment and restructuring charges, net income was 16 cents per share.

Revenue rose 22 percent to $209.6 million from $171.2 million last year, helped by the benefit of the weaker dollar and acquisitions.

The company expects 2008 earnings from continuing operations will be between $1.65 and $1.75 per share, with revenue growth in the low double digits.
