Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 13, 2009, SPX Corporation (the “Company”) issued the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The press release incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02 contains disclosure regarding organic revenue growth (decline), which is defined, for purposes of this press release, as revenue growth (decline) excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations and acquisitions and divestitures. The Company’s management believes that this metric is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating its operating performance for the periods presented because excluding the effect of currency fluctuations and acquisitions and dispositions, as well as changes in accounting classifications, when read in conjunction with the Company’s revenues, presents a useful tool to evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations and provides investors with a tool they can use to evaluate the Company’s management of assets held from period to period. In addition, organic revenue growth (decline) is one of the factors the Company’s management uses in internal evaluations of the overall performance of its business. This metric, however, is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for revenue growth (decline) as determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The information in this Item is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Item shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
ITEM 2.05. Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities
On April 13, 2009, the Company announced that it was targeting termination and exit charges in 2009 totaling approximately $75 million, about $1 per share, to reduce costs in response to continued deterioration in global economic conditions and related end-market and revenue declines. The Company expects related cash spend in 2009 to total $65 to $85 million.
; The Company will disclose the total range of amounts expected to be incurred for each major type of cost associated with these actions at a future date.
