ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On November 3, 2004, Milacron Inc. (the "Company") issued an earnings
release announcing its results for the third quarter of 2004, which is furnished
as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The Company's earnings release presents the Company's earnings from
continuing operations in the third quarters of 2003 and 2004 excluding interest,
taxes, goodwill impairment, restructuring and refinancing costs. The Company's
management believes that describing the Company's results using this non-GAAP
financial measure is useful to investors because this non-GAAP financial measure
provides 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 measure for earnings from continuing operations excluding
interest, taxes, goodwill impairment, restructuring and refinancing costs is the
basis on which management reports to the Company's board of directors and
represents a measure which management believes is 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, as amended (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, as
amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific
reference to such filing.
