Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On April 20, 2005, ChoicePoint Inc. (ChoicePoint or the Company) issued a press release announcing first quarter 2005 financial results. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The press release presented non-GAAP financial information such as operating income before other operating charges (which is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles), which the Company believes is useful for investors to compare the Companys 2005 results from ongoing operations excluding the effect of specific expenses related to fraudulent data access previously disclosed in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. This data is also used by the Company for assessment of its operating results.
On April 21, 2005, ChoicePoint held an investor conference call and Webcast to disclose financial results for first quarter of 2005. The Supplemental Information package that was placed on the ChoicePoint Inc. Website prior to this call is attached and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 99.2. All information in this Supplemental Information package is presented as of March 31, 2005, and ChoicePoint Inc. does not assume any obligation to correct or update said information in the future.
