Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On May 7, 2008, GLG Partners (the Company) released its earnings for the first fiscal
quarter of 2008 and is furnishing a copy of the earnings release to the Securities and Exchange
Commission under Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. In addition, the Company will
discuss its financial results during a webcast and teleconference call on Wednesday, May 7, 2008 at
8:30 a.m. (ET). To access the webcast and teleconference call, go to the Companys website at
www.glgpartners.com.
The Company presents certain financial measures, such as adjusted net income, non-GAAP
compensation, benefits and profit share and non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares, that
are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in
addition to financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the discussion in the earnings
release under Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Companys management uses these non-GAAP
financial measures in its evaluation of the Companys core results of operations and trends between
fiscal periods and believes these measures are an important component of its internal performance
measurement process. The Companys management also prepares forecasts for future periods on a
basis consistent with these non-GAAP financial measures. Under the Companys credit facility, the
Company and its subsidiaries are required to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants
based on adjusted earnings before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated based on the non-GAAP adjusted net income
measure, further adjusted to add back interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation
and amortization. Non-GAAP adjusted net income has certain limitations in that it may
overcompensate for certain costs and expenditures related to the Companys business and may not be
indicative of the cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.
Attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by
reference is the investor presentation to be used by the Company in conjunction with the Companys
webcast and teleconference call.
