ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
Incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K are the briefing presentations used by certain executive officers and senior managers of the Registrant on February 11, 2005, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
This information is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of, or otherwise regarded as filed under, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The information contained in this report shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of Forrester Research, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in any such filings.
We believe that pro forma financial information provides investors with consistent and comparable information to aid in the understanding of our ongoing business. Our pro forma presentation excludes the following:
Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles — we exclude the non-cash
effect of the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles from our pro forma
results in order to more consistently present our ongoing results of operations.
Impairments of non-marketable securities and gains from sales of equity securities — we have consistently excluded both one-time gains and one-time write-offs related to our investments in non-marketable securities and sales of equity securities from our pro forma results in order to keep quarter over quarter comparisons consistent.
Reorganization costs — we exclude reorganization costs in order to present
a consistent basis for quarterly comparisons and to more consistently present
our results of operations.
However, these measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as more fully discussed in our financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
