TABLE OF CONTENTS
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 SEC, whether made before or after the date hereof,
regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.
On July 31, 2008, Forrester Research, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial
results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Forrester believes that pro forma financial results provide investors with consistent and
comparable information to aid in the understanding of Forresters ongoing business. Forrester uses
pro forma financial information to manage its business, including use of pro forma financial
results as the basis for setting targets for various compensation programs. Our pro forma
presentation excludes the following, as well as their related tax effects:
Amortization of intangibleswe 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 securitieswe 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 expensewe exclude the stock-based compensation impact of
SFAS 123R from our pro forma results in order to keep quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year
comparisons consistent.
Expenses related to the Companys stock option investigation and the restatement of the
Companys historical financial statements are also not included in our pro forma results in order
to keep quarter-over-quarter and year-over year comparisons consistent.
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.
