Material Changes and Outlook
Management reaffirmed its previously announced fiscal 2010 outlook. The company explicitly stated that it does not currently intend to provide quarterly guidance in the future, consistent with past practice. The figures presented are preliminary and unaudited, based on information available as of the prospectus supplement date.
Risks and Contingencies
The disclosure notes that the quarter ending March 31, 2010, and the fiscal year 2010 are not yet complete. Independent public accountants have not audited, reviewed, or performed procedures regarding the anticipated revenue and margins, and therefore do not express an opinion or assurance on these figures. The information is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final audited results for the quarter ending March 31, 2010, against the preliminary guidance of $285-$290 million revenue.
- Confirm the actual fiscal 2010 revenue growth and adjusted operating income margin once the fiscal year concludes.
- Review the Prospectus Supplement filed on March 15, 2010, for details on the secondary offering and associated expenses.
- Note the company's stated policy of discontinuing future quarterly guidance.
