Item 2.02. Results of Operation and Financial Condition.

 

On November 5, 2009, Lifetime Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the Company’s results for the three months ended September 30, 2009. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

The press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. To supplement the Company’s results of operations presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company is presenting non-GAAP information regarding income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring expenses and stock option expense.

 

These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance. Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but are not a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in the attached press release have been reconciled to the equivalent GAAP measure.
