Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 6, 2007, Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting the financial results of the Company for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007. 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.
