ITEM 12. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On July 29, 2003, Milacron Inc. (the "Company") issued an earnings
release announcing its results for the second quarter of 2003, which is
furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. The Company's earnings release presents
pre-tax operating earnings (loss) adjusted for restructuring charges,
provision (benefit) for income taxes excluding amounts related to
restructuring charges and after-tax restructuring charges. The Company's
management believes that describing the Company's operating results using
these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because these
non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a basis for comparing the
Company's results for its most recently completed financial period to its
results in prior periods. In addition, the Company's management believes that
the use of provision (benefit) for income taxes excluding amounts related to
restructuring charges and after-tax restructuring charges provides investors
with information that is not otherwise available in, and could not be derived
from, the Company's financial statements due to differences in tax effects
between jurisdictions and fiscal periods. Finally, pre-tax operating earnings
(loss) adjusted for restructuring charges, provision (benefit) for income
taxes excluding amounts related to restructuring charges and after-tax
restructuring charges are the basis on which management reports to the
Company's Board of Directors and represent measures which management believes
are used by analysts and investors following the Company.
This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise
subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed
incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or
the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such
a filing.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
