Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On July 20, 2005, ChoicePoint Inc. (“ChoicePoint” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing second 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 Company’s 2005 results from ongoing operations excluding the effect of specific expenses related to fraudulent data access previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, and the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. This data is also used by the Company for assessment of its operating results.
On July 20, 2005, ChoicePoint will hold an investor conference call and webcast to disclose financial results for second quarter of 2005. The webcast will be broadcast at 8:30 a.m. EDT. The webcast can be accessed at www.choicepoint.com and will be available for replay at the same address. The Supplemental Information package that will be 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 June 30, 2005, and ChoicePoint Inc. does not assume any obligation to correct or update said information in the future.
