Results of Operations and Financial Conditions
|
On October 27, 2009, Nalco Holding Company (the Company) announced its third quarter 2009 and year to date financial results. A copy of that earnings news release is attached as an
exhibit to this Form 8-K.
This press release includes several non-GAAP measures. Management believes that discussion of these measures
provides investors with additional insight into the ongoing operations of Nalco Holding Company. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the closest GAAP measure in attachments to this press release, which may also be found at www.nalco.com. EBITDA is a
non-GAAP measure used to determine compliance with the Companys debt covenants. Pro Forma EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that includes adjusting for restructuring expenses, a pension settlement charge, loss on early extinguishment of debt and
gains on divestitures. Reconciliation to net earnings is included in Attachment 5. Free Cash Flow is reconciled on Attachment 6 to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities as shown on Nalcos Cash Flow Statement, and is defined as Net Cash
Provided by Operating Activities less Capital Expenditures and Minority Interest charges. In addition, Nalco discusses sales growth in terms of nominal (actual) and organic (nominal less foreign currency and acquisition/divestiture/merger/joint
venture impacts). The non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, these measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided by other companies.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K and accompanying exhibit is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be filed for the
purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
