CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K



Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 23, 2010, inVentiv Health, Inc. (the "Company"), issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three months ended and twelve months ended December 31, 2009. A copy of the Company’s press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The non-GAAP financial measures “adjusted operating income,” “adjusted net income attributable to inVentiv Health, Inc.” and “adjusted diluted EPS” discussed in the press release are related to the following three factors:
 
  • Goodwill and Other Intangibles Impairment:  For the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill and other intangible asset impairment expense of $267.8 million ($177.8 million, net of taxes).  The Company previously performed the required annual testing of goodwill as of June 30, 2008.  The fourth quarter 2008 impairment charge was primarily driven by adverse economic and equity market conditions that caused a decrease in the current marketplace and related multiples and the Company’s stock price as of December 31, 2008 compared to the test performed as of June 30, 2008.  The Company conducted its annual assessment and concluded that the foregoing balances on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet were not impaired as of June 30, 2009.
  • Other than Temporary Impairment on Marketable Securities:  For the fourth quarter of 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded, a gain of $0.1 million ($0.1 million, net of taxes) and an impairment of $2.0 million ($1.2 million, net of taxes), respectively, related to an other than temporary impairment of the Company's Columbia Strategic Cash Portfolio (“CSCP”), which held certain asset-backed securities.  For 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded a gain of $0.4 million ($0.2 million, net of taxes) and an impairment of $2.6 million ($1.5 million, net of taxes), respectively, related to an other than temporary impairment for CSCP.  Consistent with the company's investment policy guidelines, the vast majority of holdings within CSCP had AAA/Aaa credit ratings at the time of purchase. With the liquidity issues experienced in the global credit and capital markets, the CSCP experienced other than temporary losses resulting in a change in the net asset value per share from its $1 par value.  The other than temporary impairment gain and loss were adjusted to exclude this benefit/charge for 2009 and 2008 results.  The CSCP balance was fully liquidated in December 2009.
  • Derivative Interest: In October 2005, the Company engaged in an interest rate hedge of its $175 million term loan facility, which the Company did not designate for hedge accounting until July 2006.  In July 2006, the Company employed a hypothetical derivative model to assess ineffectiveness.   For the three-months ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded $0.1 million of interest expense ($0.1 million, net of taxes) relating to the ineffectiveness of the hedge for the quarter.  For the twelve-months ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded $1.1 million of interest expense ($0.7 million of interest expense, net of taxes), relating to the ineffectiveness of the hedge for the period.  Net interest expense was adjusted to exclude these adjustments in their respective periods.
The press release also contains the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is defined as net income attributable to inVentiv Health, Inc. before taxes, interest, depreciation, amortization and the aforementioned adjustments.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures included in the exhibit, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, is useful to investors for the reasons discussed above.  Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the performance of the Company’s operations on a consistent basis from period to period.
