Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 26, 2011, we issued a press release announcing our results of operations for the three-month period ending March 31, 2011. A copy of that release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as disclosed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of these factors, our actual results may differ materially from those indicated or implied by such forward-looking statements.
We also presented in the press release “non-GAAP” financial measures under Regulation G. We presented our adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities for all periods presented in the release. The components of adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities are computed by using amounts which are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities is computed by subtracting direct costs, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, and depletion expense from Operating revenues and then adding Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates. As part of our press release information we provided a reconciliation of adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities to income before income taxes from continuing operations, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure.
We included our adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities in the release because management evaluates the performance of our business units and the consolidated company based on several criteria, including adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities, and because we believe this financial measure is an accurate reflection of our ongoing profitability.
