Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 27, 2009, PAREXEL International Corporation announced its
financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009. The full text
of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The information shall not be
deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section,
nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by
specific reference in such a filing.
Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On October 27, 2009, the Company adopted a plan to restructure its operations
to reduce expenses, better align costs with current and future geographic
sources of revenue, and improve operating efficiencies. These actions are
expected to result in a pre-tax charge of approximately $30 million in the
quarter ending December 31, 2009. The charge is primarily related to expenses to
be incurred in connection with the consolidation or closure of certain offices,
the elimination of approximately 4% of current employment positions, and certain
other one-time costs. The Company anticipates that it will substantially
complete restructuring activities by June 30, 2010. The charges will include
approximately $7 million in costs related to the abandonment of certain property
leases, approximately $22 million in employee separation benefits, and
approximately $1 million in other one-time costs. The Company expects a majority
of the $30 million charge to be paid out in the second half of Fiscal Year 2010,
with the remainder to be paid out over several years, in the form of cash
expenditures. The Company expects the charge to result in annual pre-tax savings
of approximately $21 million when completed.
