Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Conditions
On January 20, 2004 Convergys Corporation reported its results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2003. The earnings release for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2003 is attached as Exhibit 99.1. The attached exhibit is furnished pursuant to Item 12 of Form 8-K.
The earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including pro forma operating income, pro forma net income and pro forma diluted earnings per share, which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures is included in the financial tables that are part of the earnings release. In addition to the non-GAAP financial measures contained in the earnings release, during the one-hour conference call scheduled on Wednesday, January 21, at 10:00 AM, EST, to discuss the company’s fourth quarter results, Convergys will disclose free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash flows from operations less the change in the balance of the accounts receivable securitization and capital expenditures. A reconciliation of free cash flow to the comparable GAAP measure is available at www.convergys.com in the section “Invest in Convergys.”
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures. They are presented because Convergys Corporation management uses this information when evaluating the company’s results of operations and cash flow and believes that this information provides the users of the financial statements with an additional and useful comparison of the company’s current results of operations and cash flows with past and future periods.
