Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On March 14, 2005, we issued an earnings release announcing our fourth quarter and full year 2004 financial results, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1. Additionally, executive management will discuss our fourth quarter and full year 2004 financial results during a webcast and conference call to be held today, March 14, at 11:00 a.m. eastern time. To access the webcast or conference call, please go to our website at http://investor.officemax.com and select the March 14, 2005 conference call link.
We present our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement the GAAP presentations, we also present the results of our operations before special gains and losses. For example, in the attached press release, we present results that exclude items such as a pretax charge for a writedown of impaired assets; a pretax gain on the sale of our paper, forest products and timberland assets; and costs related to early retirement of debt and other special items. We believe our presentation of results before these special items provides useful information to both investors and management by excluding gains and losses that are not indicative of our core operating results.
We have reconciled the non-GAAP financial measures to our reported financial performance in the financial notes that accompany our press release.
