Item
2.02 Results of
Operations and Financial Condition.
On
November 4, 2009, Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press
release reporting the financial results of the Company for the third quarter
ended September 30, 2009, and providing a forecast of certain estimated
financial metrics for 2009. A copy of the Company’s press release is
attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by
reference.
In its
press release, the Company included non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in
Regulation G promulgated by the U. S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company believes that its inclusion of non-GAAP
financial measures provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates
analysis by investors in evaluating the Company’s performance and
trends. The Company uses both GAAP financial measures and the
disclosed non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the
Company’s operations and to better understand its business. These
non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or
superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with
GAAP.
The
information in this report (including the exhibit) is furnished pursuant to Item
2.02 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed
incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the
Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in
such filing.
