Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

            On November 6, 2012, TETRA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter of 2012. The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

            The information furnished in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

            The Company provides quarterly and annual financial statements that are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.” To help understand the Company’s past financial performance and future results, the Company has supplemented the financial results that it provides in accordance with GAAP included in the press release with disclosures concerning revenues excluding the Company’s Maritech segment, gross profit excluding the Company’s Maritech segment, income before taxes excluding oil and gas derivative ineffectiveness and the Company’s Maritech segment, diluted per share information excluding oil and gas derivative ineffectiveness and the Company’s Maritech segment, and net debt, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The methods the Company uses to produce these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies. Revenues excluding the Company’s Maritech segment, gross profit excluding the Company’s Maritech segment, income before taxes excluding oil and gas derivative ineffectiveness and the Company’s Maritech segment, diluted per share information excluding oil and gas derivative ineffectiveness and the Company’s Maritech segment, and net debt are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and the Company’s reference to these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results that are prepared under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for the financial results that are presented as consistent with GAAP. The Company’s management uses this supplemental non-GAAP financial information internally to understand, manage and evaluate the company’s business, to make operating decisions and for planning and forecasting purposes. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measure of each non-GAAP financial measure is included in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
