Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Financial Statements and Exhibits
On October 1, 2009, Accenture issued a press release announcing financial results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended August 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). Accenture's management believes that this information provides meaningful additional information regarding the company's liquidity.
• Percentage changes in revenues before reimbursements ("net revenues") on a local currency basis. Accenture's 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.
• Earnings per share and operating income excluding the restructuring charge recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Accenture's management believes that information regarding the effect of the restructuring charge on earnings per share and operating income facilitates understanding as to both the impact of this charge and the company's operating performance.
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 Accenture's management believes that this non-GAAP financial information is useful in evaluating Accenture's 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.
