Item 8.01.    Other Events.
On January 3, 2013, the Company issued a press release which reaffirmed 2012 adjusted diluted net income per share will be at or below the low end of its previously issued guidance range of $5.00 to $5.10 per share.
The press release also announced that the Company now expects certain pre-tax GAAP charges to materially reduce 2012 reported diluted (GAAP) net income per share to amounts materially below previously announced guidance of $0.87 to $0.97 per share. These anticipated charges include a non-cash asset impairment charge related primarily to goodwill attributable to the Company's acquisition of American Medical Systems Holdings, Inc., as well as certain other one-time charges related to legal contingencies, including a planned increase to the Company's reserve associated with the resolution of the ongoing government investigation with respect to Lidoderm® promotional practices from approximately $53 million recognized during the third quarter of 2012 to approximately $194 million, representing the Company's current estimate of this liability.
Also included in this press release was the issuance of a 2013 revenue guidance range of $2.80 billion to $2.95 billion and a 2013 adjusted diluted net income per share range of $4.40 to $4.70 per share.
A copy of the press release announcing these items is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
Adjusted diluted net income per share is a financial measure that is not in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and we refer to it as a non-GAAP financial measure. Endo refers to adjusted diluted net income per share in making operating decisions because it believes it provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance. For instance, Endo believes that this measure facilitates its internal comparisons to its historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ results. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency related to supplemental information used by Endo in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, Endo has historically reported similar financial measures to its investors and believes that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in its financial reporting at this time. Further, Endo believes that adjusted diluted net income per share may be useful to investors as it is aware that certain of its significant stockholders utilize adjusted diluted net income per share to evaluate its financial performance. Finally, adjusted diluted net income per share is used by the Compensation Committee of Endo’s Board of Directors in assessing the performance and compensation of substantially all of its employees, including its executive officers.
