Item
2.02 Results
of Operations and Financial Condition.
Attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is the Registrant’s press release reflecting earnings
information for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
The
press
release contains information regarding EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization), which is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined
in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. The press release also contains a
reconciliation of EBITDA to the Registrant’s reported earnings before income
taxes. Management of the Registrant believes that presentation of EBITDA is
useful to investors, as among other things, this information impacts certain
financial covenants under the Registrant’s senior credit facilities and the
indenture governing its 7 1/2 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010. While
management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating
the
Registrant, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature
and
not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure may
differ from similar measures presented by other companies.
Pursuant
to General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, all of the information contained in
this Form 8-K and the accompanying exhibit shall be deemed to be "furnished"
and
not "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and, therefore, shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
