SECTION 2 – Financial Information
ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On February 7, 2005, FMC Technologies, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2004. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 9 – Financial Statements and Exhibits
ITEM 9.01. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
(c) Exhibits:
| 99.1 | Press Release issued by FMC Technologies, Inc. dated February 7, 2005 | |||
Exhibit 99.1 to this report contains a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Management reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures utilized for internal analysis provide financial statement users meaningful comparisons between current and prior period results, as well as important information regarding performance trends. This non-GAAP financial measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
