ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On May 5, 2005, Milacron Inc. (the "Company") issued an earnings release
announcing its results for the first quarter of 2005, which is furnished as
Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The Company's earnings release includes a presentation of the Company's
earnings from continuing operations in the first quarters of 2004 and 2005
before interest, taxes, 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 of earnings from continuing operations before interest,
taxes, 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.
