ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE (Information Furnished Pursuant to Item 12, "Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition").
On April 23, 2003, Milacron Inc. (“Company”) issued a earnings release announcing its results for the first quarter of 2003, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. The Company's earnings release presents operating earnings (loss) adjusted for restructuring charges and net earnings (loss) adjusted for after-tax restructuring charges. The Company's management believes that describing the Company's operating results using these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a basis for comparing the Company's results for its most recently completed financial period to its results in prior periods. In addition, the Company's management believes that the use of net earnings (loss) adjusted for after-tax restructuring charges provides investors with information that is not otherwise available in, and could not be derived from, the Company's financial statements due to differences in tax effects between jurisdictions and fiscal periods. Finally, operating earnings (loss) adjusted for restructuring charges and net earnings (loss) adjusted for after-tax restructuring charges are the basis on which management reports to the Company’s Board of Directors and represent measures which management believes are used by analysts and investors following the Company.
In accordance with the procedural guidance in SEC Release No. 33-8216, the information required by Item 12 of Form 8-K, "Results of Operations and Financial Condition," is being furnished under this Item 9, "Regulation FD Disclosure" This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
