Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 4, 2004, Belden CDT Inc. (the “Company”) issued a news release attached as Exhibit 99.1 that sets out the Company’s results of operations for the third quarter of 2004. On November 8, 2004, the Company issued a correction to the November 4 news release attached as Exhibit 99.2, which supersedes and replaces in its entirety the November 4 release.
On July 15, 2004, BC Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (formerly called Cable Design Technologies Corporation, “CDT”) was merged with and into Belden Inc. (“Belden”), with Belden continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which changed its name to Belden CDT Inc. For accounting purposes, the Company treated the merger as an acquisition by Belden. Results of the legacy CDT operations are included in 2004 results from July 16, 2004 onwards.
The news releases include a supplementary schedule showing pro forma results of the Company’s continuing operations for the third quarter of 2004 and 2003 as if combined at the beginning of the calendar quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2004. The supplementary schedule also shows the adjusted results for the same periods excluding merger-related items, severance and other restructuring charges noted in the release. The Company believes this information is helpful to investors in understanding how the Company evaluates the performance of the business.
