Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 19, 2009,
members of management of Morningstar, Inc. (the Company) will make the
presentation attached as Exhibit 99.1 at its Annual Shareholders Meeting
which will be held at the Companys corporate headquarters in Chicago, Illinois
at 9:00 a.m. (CST).
Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
The presentation includes
the following measures considered as non-GAAP by the Securities and Exchange
Commission: free cash flow and consolidated revenue excluding acquisitions and
foreign currency translations (organic revenue).
The Company presents these
measures as supplemental information to help investors better understand trends
in its business results over time. The Companys management team uses free cash
flow to evaluate the performance of its business. Free cash flow is not
equivalent to any measure of performance required to be reported under U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, nor should this data be considered an
indicator of the Companys overall financial performance or liquidity.
Moreover, the free cash flow definition the Company uses may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
