Item 2.02    Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 24, 2016, QEP Resources, Inc. (the “Registrant”) issued a press release to report the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015, to provide an update on 2015 operations, and provide to 2016 guidance.

The Registrant's press release announcing its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2015, includes non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's financial and operating performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Registrant has provided quantitative reconciliations within the press release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The information contained in Item 2.02 to this Form 8-K, including the exhibit, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
