Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 12, 2015, we issued a press release updating our previous earnings guidance for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the full year 2015. The press release is available on our website at http://investors.ryder.com.
The press release includes information regarding the comparable earnings per share from continuing operations forecast for the third quarter, fourth quarter and full year 2015, which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC regulations. These "comparable" measures exclude the following items from our GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations forecast for the relevant periods: (1) an expected third quarter 2015 pension settlement adjustment, (2) a previously disclosed full year 2015 benefit from tax law changes and (3) previously disclosed full year 2015 professional fees. We exclude these items because they are unrelated to our ongoing business operations. Additionally, we exclude non-operating pension costs from our GAAP earnings measures because these costs are primarily impacted by financial market performance and are outside of the operational performance of the business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and allow for better year-over-year comparison of operating performance.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and General Instruction B.2 thereunder and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The disclosure set forth in Item 2.02 of this Report is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.
