ITEM 9: REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
The information contained in this Item 9 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished pursuant to “Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition” in accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8216.
On April 24, 2003, the Registrant issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2003. A copy of the earnings release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
Nuance’s Consolidated Statements of Operations presents non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) net loss excluding special items and net loss per share (basic and diluted) excluding special items in addition to the presentation of such results in accordance with GAAP. The special items include non-cash compensation expense and restructuring charges (credits). These special items are not necessarily representative of Nuance’s core operations and Nuance management believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the impact of the special items on Nuance’s net loss and net loss per share. Nuance management also uses non-GAAP measurements in certain internal management analyses as the resulting metrics provide useful information regarding the company’s core operations.
