ITEM 12. Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On August 10, 2004, the Perrigo Company released earnings for the fourth quarter
and fiscal year 2004.
The earnings release contains a non-GAAP measure which is defined as a financial
measure of the Company's performance that excludes or includes amounts thereby
differentiating it from the most directly comparable measure presented in the
financial statements that are calculated and presented in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Pursuant to the requirements of
Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation within its earnings
release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for this non-GAAP measure.
The Company excludes unusual litigation income, a one-time tax benefit and an
FTC related charge when monitoring and evaluating the on-going financial results
and trends of its business due to the non-recurring nature of these items. The
Company believes this information is also useful for investors since excluding
these non-recurring items provides important insight into the Company's ongoing
operations.
The press release related to Perrigo's earnings is attached as Exhibit 99.
The information in this Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed
"filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The
information in this Report 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirement of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
