Intermec, Inc.

(Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter)

Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

On November 3, 2011 Intermec, Inc. (“we,” “our” or “the company”) issued a press release announcing our preliminary financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2011. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference (the “ November 3, 2011 Press Release”).

The November 3, 2011 Press Release includes the following Non-GAAP financial measures for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011:

The November 3, 2011 Press Release also includes an outlook for fourth quarter 2011 Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. Reconciliations of each of these Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are detailed in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Net Earnings, in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Gross Margins, and in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Outlook for the Quarter Ending December 31, 2011, attached to the November 3, 2011 Press Release.

The November 3, 2011 Press Release also includes supplemental information regarding the calculation of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA.

Our Non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

We believe that excluding restructuring charges (principally related to severance costs in connection with distinct organizational initiatives to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency), costs related to completion of acquisitions and certain opening accounting adjustments, amortization of intangibles and non-cash stock based compensation expenses provides supplemental information useful to investors’ and management’s understanding of the Company’s core operating results, especially when comparing those results on a consistent basis to results for previous periods and anticipated results for future periods.

The foregoing information in this Item 2.02 is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

November 3, 2011 Press Release

In the November 3, 2011 Press Release, we announced our outlook for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011 with respect to our anticipated range of revenues, our anticipated range of GAAP diluted earnings per share, and our anticipated range of Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excluding acquisition and restructuring-related costs, amortization of acquired intangibles, and deferred services revenue acquisition-related adjustments.
