Item 8.01.
Other Events.
On
March 21, 2006, Digital River, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Digital River),
issued a
press release announcing an update to its anticipated revenue and earnings estimate for
its fiscal first quarter ending March 31, 2006.
The news
release issued on March 21, 2006, is filed as Exhibit No. 99.1 to this Current
Report on Form 8-K. The press release includes safe
harbor language indicating that certain statements about
Digital Rivers business and other matters contained in the press
release are forward-looking rather than
historic. The press release also states that a more
thorough discussion of certain factors which may affect Digital
Rivers operating results is included in Digital Rivers
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005,
and Digital Rivers other public filings with the SEC available
at the SECs Web site (http://www.sec.gov).
The attached press release contains certain non-GAAP financial
measures. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure
is a numerical measure of a companys 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 GAAP. To
supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with GAAP, Digital River has supplied non-GAAP measures of earnings per share, which are adjusted from results
based on GAAP to primarily exclude certain expenses.
We
believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to
both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may
not be indicative of our core operating results. In addition, because
we have historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors,
we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP results provides consistency in
our financial reporting. 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 not been reconciled to the
nearest GAAP measure because the non-GAAP adjustments cannot be
quantified without unreasonable effort at this time. As used herein, GAAP refers to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
