(c) Exhibits.
99.1 Press Release dated April 22, 2003, with respect to Matria's financial
results for quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure (Information furnished in this Item 9 is
furnished under Item 12).
The following information on this Form 8-K and the attached Exhibit is
furnished pursuant to Item 12, "Results of Operations and Financial Condition,"
and Item 9, "Regulation FD Disclosure." This information shall not be deemed
"filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be
expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
On April 22, 2003, Matria Healthcare, Inc. ("Matria") issued a press
release (the "Press Release") announcing its 2003 consolidated financial results
for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The Press Release did not include certain
financial statements, related footnotes and certain other financial information
that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of
Matria's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. A copy of the Press Release is attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
In addition to discussing Matria's consolidated financial results as
determined by generally accepted accounting standards ("GAAP"), the Press
Release discloses earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA"), a non-GAAP measure that Matria's management believes provides useful
information to investors regarding Matria's ability to generate cash flows that
can be used to service its debt and support operational cash needs. EBITDA is
also a component of certain financial covenants in Matria's credit facility. The
Press Release also contains a reconciliation of EBITDA to earnings before income
taxes, a GAAP measure.
