Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
----------------------------------------------
On November 1, 2007, the Company issued a press release setting forth the
Company's third-quarter 2007 results. A copy of our press release is attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The attached press release includes a discussion of constant dollar revenue
changes and operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share
excluding restructuring and related costs, which are non-GAAP measures, and a
reconciliation of each to a GAAP measure. We provide constant dollar revenue
changes because we use the measure to understand revenue changes excluding the
impact of items which are not under management's direct control, such as changes
in foreign exchange rates. We provide operating income, net income and diluted
earnings per share excluding restructuring and related costs because we use the
measures to analyze the earnings of the Company. Management believes these
measures are more reflective of the earnings levels from ongoing business
activities.
