INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

 

Explanatory Note

 

Fortune Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on January 4, 2006 (the “Original Report”) which contained unaudited pro forma financial information in Exhibit 99.1 thereto. The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K to correct certain information in Exhibit 99.1 as described below.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been restated to correct the reporting of duties paid in countries other than the U.S. The adjustments are to correct net sales, cost of products sold and excise taxes and do not have an impact on pro forma gross margin, operating income, net income or earnings per share. In addition, the corrections only effect pro forma financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and have no impact on actual results of operations.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Reference is made to Exhibit 99.1 hereto which sets forth unaudited pro forma financial information as of September 30, 2005 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, which information is incorporated herein by reference. The unaudited pro forma financial information previously issued under Item 9.01(b) of the Original Report and filed as Exhibit 99.1 thereto has been restated to correct certain amounts reported in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Specifically, the amounts set forth with respect to (i) net sales, cost of products sold and excise taxes on spirits and wine under the heading “Incremental Acquired Businesses for the Two Months and 6 Days Ended September 30, 2005,” (ii) net sales and excise taxes on spirits and wine under the heading “Purchase Accounting” and (iii) net sales and cost of products sold under the heading “Pro Forma Combined,” have been corrected. Because these revisions relate to pro forma disclosures only, this restatement does not impact any actual reported balances, results of operations or cash flows included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K or the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2005.

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K sets forth Exhibit 99.1 in its entirety. However, only the information described above has been amended.
