Item 2.02                                             Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On July 27, 2011, Hospira, Inc. (“Hospira”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the second quarter 2011.  Such press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

In the press release, Hospira uses various non-GAAP financial measures including, among others, net sales at constant currency, adjusted gross profit, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share.  These non-GAAP measures adjust for certain specified items that are described in the press release and attached schedules.  Hospira’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can facilitate a more complete analysis and greater transparency into Hospira’s ongoing results of operations, particularly in comparing underlying results from period to period.  Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in financial planning to monitor business unit performance and in evaluating management performance.  All non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the applicable GAAP measures and should not be considered in isolation from, or a replacement for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
