ITEM 12: RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On July 26, 2004, Nuance issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. A copy of the release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
Nuance’s attached press release and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations present non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) net loss, excluding special items, and net loss per share (basic and diluted), excluding special items, in addition to the presentation of such results in accordance with GAAP. The special items include non-cash compensation expense and restructuring credits. These special items are not necessarily representative of Nuance’s core operations, but Nuance management believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the impact of the special items on Nuance’s net loss and net loss per share. Nuance management also uses non-GAAP measurements in certain internal management analyses, as the resulting metrics provide useful information regarding the company’s core operations.
