Description | |
| 99.1 | Certegy Inc. press release dated July 22, 2004, announcing the Company’s financial results for the second quarter of 2004 (furnished pursuant to Item 12 of Form 8-K). |
ITEM 12. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On July 22, 2004, Certegy Inc. (“Certegy”) issued a press release to announce its financial results for the second quarter of 2004. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
This press release presents an operating income measure that excludes charges for contract termination, severance and other charges. The press release reconciles this measure to the most directly comparable operating income measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes that presentation of this measure excluding the described charges is useful because it allows investors and management to evaluate and compare Certegy’s core operating results from ongoing operations from period to period in a more meaningful and consistent manner than relying exclusively on GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures however should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
As used herein, “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The information in the Report, including the Exhibit attached hereto, is furnished solely pursuant to Item 12 of this Form 8-K. Consequently, it is not deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. It may only be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Exchange Act or Securities Act of 1933 if such subsequent filing specifically references this Form 8-K.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
