Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 1, 2006, Digital River, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Digital
River"), issued a press release announcing its financial results for the
three-month and full-year periods ended December 31, 2005, and certain other
information. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The press release includes "safe harbor" language indicating that certain
statements about Digital River's business and other matters contained in the
press release are "forward-looking" rather than "historic." The press release
also states that a more thorough discussion of certain factors which may affect
Digital River's operating results is included, among other sections, under the
captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" in Digital River's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, and Digital River's other public
filings with the SEC available at the SEC's Web site (http://www.sec.gov).
The attached press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. For
purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of
a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes
or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most
directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. To
supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with
GAAP, Digital River has supplied non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings
per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to primarily exclude
certain expenses. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful
information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that
may not be indicative of our core operating results. In addition, because we
have historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, we believe the
inclusion of non-GAAP results provides consistency in our financial reporting.
These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in
accordance with GAAP, but are not a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.
The non-GAAP measures included in the attached press release have been
reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure. As used herein, "GAAP" refers to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
