ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
The information contained in this current report on Form 8-K is furnished pursuant to Item
2.02 of Form 8-K “Results of Operations and Financial Condition”. This information and the
exhibits hereto are being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of
Section 18 of, or otherwise regarded as filed under, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. The information contained in this report shall not be incorporated by reference into any
filing of Forrester Research, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, whether made before or after the date hereof,
regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.
On February 14, 2007, Forrester Research, Inc. issued a press release announcing its
preliminary financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006.
These results are subject to possible adjustment as a result of an on-going investigation into
whether Forrester used the correct accounting measurement date for its historical stock options,
principally those granted between 1997 and 2003.
Forrester believes that pro forma financial results provide investors with consistent and
comparable information to aid in the understanding of Forrester’s ongoing business. Our pro forma
presentation excludes the following, as well as their related tax effects:
Amortization of intangibles—we exclude the effect of the amortization of intangibles from our
pro forma results in order to more consistently present our ongoing results of operations.
Impairments of and gains related to non-marketable securities and gains from sales of
marketable securities—we have consistently excluded both one-time gains and one-time write-offs
related to our investments in non-marketable securities and sales of marketable securities from our
pro forma results in order to keep quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons consistent.
Non-cash stock-based compensation expense—we exclude the stock-based compensation impact of
APB Opinion 25 and SFAS 123R from our pro forma results in order to keep quarter-over-quarter and
year-over-year comparisons consistent.
Gains from the sale of discontinued operations and income or loss from the discontinued
operations.
However, these measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or
superior to, operating income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles as more fully discussed in our financial statements
and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
