Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 28, 2016, Newpark Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the information in the exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To help understand the Company’s financial performance, the Company has supplemented its financial results that it provides in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) included in the press release with non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding the Company’s financial performance. Such non-GAAP financial measures include “Adjusted net loss” and “Adjusted net loss per diluted share” which have been adjusted for items that the Company believes are infrequent or not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Management believes that the exclusion of these items from the historical results of operations enables management to evaluate more effectively the Company’s operations over the prior periods and to identify operating trends that could be obscured by the excluded items.
The methods the Company uses to produce these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, as more fully discussed in the Company’s financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Applicable reconciliations to the nearest GAAP financial measure of each non-GAAP financial measure are included in the presentation materials attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
