Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 20, 2003, EPIQ Systems, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
EPIQ Systems provides certain non-GAAP financial measures as additional information relating to its operating results. The management of EPIQ Systems believes that the presentation of these measures provide additional insight for investors into the operating results and business trends of the Company. The Company also uses these or similar non-GAAP financial measures (i) in its strategic planning for the Company and (ii) in evaluating the results of operations of the Company. The current calculation of non-GAAP adjusted net income is net income plus after-tax amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and after-tax acquisition-related expenses. A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted net income to GAAP net income is included in a schedule to the press release filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information in this report and the exhibit attached hereto is not filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 or 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information contained herein and in the accompanying exhibit is not incorporated by reference into any filing with the SEC made by the registrant, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
