Item
2.02 and 7.01. Results of Operations and
Financial Condition and Regulation FD Disclosure
(furnished pursuant to Items 2.02 and 7.01 of Form 8-K).
On
October 26, 2010, the Registrant issued an earnings release containing a
discussion of the Registrant’s results of operations and financial condition for
the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.
The
earnings release contains statements on the Registrant’s financial results that
would not be presented in a U.S. GAAP statement of earnings to the effect
that:
·
|
Information
& Media: Revenue for this segment in the third quarter declined
by 4.7% to $227.8 million compared to the same period last year, but grew
by 5.1% excluding the divestiture of BusinessWeek.
|
·
|
Information
& Media: The Business-to-Business Group’s revenue in the third
quarter declined by 7.1% to $204.1 million, but grew by 3.3% excluding
BusinessWeek,
which was divested on December 1,
2009.
|
·
|
The
Outlook: “In view of our strong performance for the
first nine months of 2010, we are increasing guidance for the year,” said
Mr. McGraw. “We now anticipate earnings per share in the $2.60
to $2.65 range and expect to achieve the high end of that
range. The new guidance excludes $0.02 of one-time gains from
divestitures, but includes dilution of $0.02 from
acquisitions.”
|
The
Registrant believes that the disclosure of this data provides useful
supplemental information for meaningful comparisons of the Registrant’s results.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for the comparable U.S. GAAP measure.
