ITEM 12. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On July 8, 2004, Metron Technology N.V. (“Metron”) reported its fiscal fourth quarter and annual results for the period ended May 31, 2004. A copy of the press release issued by Metron on July 8, 2004 concerning the foregoing results is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Metron provides pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share measures in the press release as additional information for its operating results. Metron’s management believes that the presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from pro forma measures used by other companies. The calculation of pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share have been adjusted to exclude the effects of a restructuring charge.
The information in this report, including the exhibit hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information contained herein and in the accompanying exhibit shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by Metron, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
