SECTION 2 – Financial Information

 

ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

 

On February 14, 2006, FMC Technologies, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2005. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

SECTION 9 – Financial Statements and Exhibits

 

ITEM 9.01. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

 

(c) Exhibits:

 

99.1		Press Release issued by FMC Technologies, Inc. dated February 14, 2006

 

Exhibit 99.1 to this report contains a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Management reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures utilized for internal analysis provide financial statement users meaningful comparisons between current and prior period results, as well as important information regarding performance trends. This non-GAAP financial measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results.
