Summary
Cardinal Health, Inc. (CAH) filed an 8-K on October 26, 2005, to announce its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The filing primarily references a press release (Exhibit 99.01) that details these results and provides a discussion (Exhibit 99.02) on management's rationale for presenting performance excluding "special items" and equity compensation expense. Investors should note that this 8-K is primarily a notification of earnings release and does not contain detailed financial statements directly within the form itself. The key information for understanding the company's performance for the quarter would be found in the furnished press release and the accompanying management discussion on non-GAAP financial measures. The disclosure regarding the exclusion of special items and equity compensation suggests a focus on what management considers core operational performance.
