Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On June 7, 2012, Quiksilver, Inc. announced its financial results for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
In addition to Quiksilver’s GAAP financial information, the press release furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.1 reports pro forma loss and pro forma loss per share, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures, each excluding net after-tax asset impairments and restructuring charges and non-cash interest charges, as well as valuation allowances against tax assets. The press release also reports pro forma adjusted EBITDA. Quiksilver believes such non-GAAP information provides consistency and comparability with its past financial reports. In addition to those reasons set forth in the press release, Quiksilver has chosen to furnish this information because it believes it provides useful information to investors enabling them to perform additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means to evaluate Quiksilver’s operations. Such non-GAAP information should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP or other pro forma measures used by other companies.
The information in this Form 8-K and Exhibit shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
