Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On June 25, 2009, Accenture issued a press release announcing financial results for its third
quarter of fiscal year 2009, which fiscal quarter ended on May 31, 2009.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. All information in the press
release is furnished but not filed.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
In the attached press release Accenture discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures:
|
|
|
Free cash flow (defined as operating cash flow net of property and equipment
additions). Accentures management believes that this information provides meaningful
additional information regarding the companys liquidity. |
|
|
|
Percentage changes in revenues before reimbursements (net revenues) on a local
currency basis. Accentures management believes that information regarding changes in
its net revenues that excludes the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates facilitates meaningful comparison of its net revenues before reimbursements. |
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial
measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are included in the press release. While
Accentures management believes that this non-GAAP financial information is useful in evaluating
Accentures operations, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as
a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
