Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 19, 2004, we issued an earnings release announcing our third quarter 2004 financial results, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1. Additionally, executive management will discuss our third quarter earnings during a webcast and conference call to be held today, October 19, at 12 noon (ET). To access the webcast or conference call, please go to our website at www.bc.com.
We will issue our Third Quarter 2004 Fact Book after we file our third quarter Form 10-Q in November. In the interim period, selected pages from the Fact Book (Financial Highlights, Summary of Operations, Statistical Review / 2003, and Statistical Review / 2004) are attached as Exhibit 99.2.
We present our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement the GAAP presentations, we also present the results of our operations before special gains and losses. For example, in the attached press release, we present results that exclude items such as gains on the sale of assets, non-recurring tax benefits, and unusual employee-related severance costs. We believe our presentation of results before these special items provides useful information to both investors and management by excluding gains and losses that are not indicative of our core operating results.
We have reconciled the non-GAAP financial measures to our reported financial performance in the financial notes that accompany our press release.
