Regulation
FD Disclosure (Information is being provided under |
On April 1, 2003, International Multifoods Corporation (the “Company”) reported its financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 1, 2003. See the Company’s press release dated April 1, 2003, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The press release includes presentations of earnings before unusual and one-time items and free cash flow, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Presenting earnings before unusual and one-time items provides insight into the results of operations of the Company and facilitates comparisons between the results of operations of the Company for the current, past and future periods. Free cash flow measures available cash flow from operations after capital expenditures. Presenting free cash flow provides insight into the amount of cash available to fund such things as debt reduction or acquisitions. Management believes that the presentations of earnings before unusual and one-time items and free cash flow are useful to investors for these reasons.
