Item 12.Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 29, 2004, AmericanWest Bancorporation (NASDAQ:AWBC) announced earnings of $1.3 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. A copy of the press release announcing the results is attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and incorporated herein by this reference.
The press release includes certain non-GAAP financial information, including pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share computed without a $4.0 million additional loan loss provision and a $621,000 pro forma gain on the sale of a branch which occurred during the period. Registrant’s management believes that because these items substantially affected the company’s financial results for the quarter and such losses and gains do not occur on a regular basis, the presentation of non-GAAP information (in addition to GAAP information, and with the required reconciliation) provides useful information to investors about the registrant’s operating performance and facilitates investors’ comparisons to the registrant’s historical operating results.
The information, including the attached exhibit, contained in this Report on Form 8-K is furnished pursuant to Item 12 and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
