Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 28, 2009, Cerner Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release
announcing, among other things, its financial results for the nine month period
ended October 3, 2009. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is
attached hereto.
To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP measures of net earnings and
earnings per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude
certain charges and gains. The Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial
measures, such as booking revenue and revenue backlog (which includes contract
backlog and support and maintenance backlog). These non-GAAP measures are
provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our financial
performance, and as required, are also reconciled to GAAP. These measurements
are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an
alternative to GAAP measures of performance.
The information contained in this Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) is being
furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise be subject to the
liabilities of that section. The information in this Item 2.02 shall not be
incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, except as otherwise expressly stated in
such filing.
