TABLE OF CONTENTS
ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On August 1, 2007, Kendle International Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing financial results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007. This press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The Company in its press release discloses financial results for the 2007 and 2006 periods both in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and on a non-GAAP basis with adjustments for certain items. The Company’s management believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures and their related reconciliations is useful to investors because the non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a basis for comparing the results to financial results from prior periods. Additionally, operating and net income adjusted for the items discussed above is the basis upon which management reports to the Company’s Board of Directors and represents the measure that management believes primarily is used by analysts and investors following the Company.
The information under this caption, “Item 2.02 — Results of Operations and Financial Condition”, including information in any related exhibits, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
