Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Attached and being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of a press release of Dendrite International, Inc. (“Dendrite”) dated April 28, 2005, reporting Dendrite’s financial results for the first quarter of 2005.
The discussion of Dendrite’s three month historical results as well as its outlook for future results include, and where indicated exclude, the impact of items related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and the first quarter 2005 charge as discussed in the attached press release. These adjustments are detailed in and reconciled to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as part of the press release.
Dendrite believes that reflecting the impact of these items provides investors with insight into Dendrite’s operating performance both before and after the impact of those items. Management also internally uses these adjusted amounts to evaluate its operating performance on a period-over-period comparative basis. Management uses various methods to evaluate its operations and does not depend on any one model.
Dendrite has detailed in its press release and in its financial data tables accompanying the press release all such adjusted items and reconciliation items in order to assist investors in reviewing such non-GAAP adjusted amounts. The manner in which the Company provides adjusted amounts is likely different from that of other companies. All such non-GAAP information is supplemental to information presented in accordance with GAAP and is not intended to represent a presentation in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
