Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On March 9, 2011, Autobytel Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Autobytel”), announced in a press release its financial results for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2010. A copy of Autobytel’s press release announcing these financial results is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
In connection with the press release, Autobytel held a telephone conference call that was webcast on March 9, 2011. Presentation slides referenced during the conference call were available on Autobytel’s website for viewing by call participants. A transcript of that call together with presentation slides referenced during the conference call are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The attached presentation slides contain information that includes a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Regulation G adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Adjusted total operating expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by Autobytel as total operating expenses as presented in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), adjusted for significant transactions and events that vary widely and are unpredictable in nature, timing and amount. This non-GAAP financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that this measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of Autobytel’s ongoing operations. The reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the GAAP financial measure that Autobytel considers most comparable is included in the presentation slides included with the call transcript filed as Exhibit 99.2 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The attached press release, transcript and presentation slides are incorporated herein solely for purposes of this Item 2.02 disclosure. The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02, including the exhibits attached hereto, shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any incorporation by reference language of such filing. In addition, the press release, transcript and presentation slides furnished as exhibits to this report include “safe harbor” language pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, stating that certain statements about Autobytel’s business contained in the press release, transcript and presentation slides are “forward-looking” rather than “historic.”
