Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 21, 2011, Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release providing an overview of its global operations and outlook. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

In its press release, the Company presented GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures (and presentations derived from these financial measures) as defined in Regulation G as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered replacements for GAAP results. The Company provided non-GAAP information because it believes that such data provides useful information to investors. However, investors are cautioned that, unlike financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, non-GAAP measures may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for by other companies. The Company uses both GAAP financial measures and the disclosed non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business. The Company believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides greater transparency to investors of supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of its operating performance.

The information in this report (including the exhibit) is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
