On December 1, 2005, VeriFone Holdings, Inc.

The information furnished pursuant to this report, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The information contained herein and in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Registrant, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

The Registrant used certain non-GAAP financial measures in both the press release and the conference call that were not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  The Registrant has provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures in Exhibit 99.1 and on the Investor Relations section of the Registrant’s website at http://www.verifone.com.  Exhibit 99.1 also describes the reasons why management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and any additional purposes for which management uses these non-GAAP financial measures.
