Item 2.02 Results of Financial Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 28, 2012, ViroPharma Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for its fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2011. In its press release, the Company included certain historical non-U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“non-GAAP”) financial measures as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for each of the three-month and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and as of December 31, 2011. Reconciliations for such historical non-GAAP financial measures are attached to or included in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1. The Company believes that its presentation of historical non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates additional analysis by investors. These historical non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
