Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of REGAL-BELOIT Corporation (the “Company”), dated February 10, 2005 (the “Current Report”), solely to correct the inadvertent furnishing of the Company’s fourth quarter financial results for the reporting period ended December 31, 2004 under Item 7.01 rather than under Item 2.02. Accordingly, the Company hereby amends the Current Report to read in its entirety as follows:
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 10, 2005, REGAL-BELOIT CORPORATION (the “Company”) issued a press release disclosing, among other things, the Company’s fourth quarter financial results for the reporting period ended December 31, 2004. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”).
The Company intends that certain matters disclosed in this Current Report (including the exhibit hereto) are “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated as of February 10, 2005. Factors that could cause such a variance include, but are not limited to, cyclical downturns affecting the markets for capital goods, substantial increases in interest rates which impact the cost of the Company’s outstanding debt, the success of the Company’s management in increasing sales and maintaining or improving the operating margins of its business, the availability of or material increases in the costs of select raw materials or parts, actions taken by competitors, and the Company’s ability to satisfy various covenant requirements under its credit facility. Shareholders, potential investors, and other readers are urged to consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Current Report (including the exhibit hereto) are made only as of February 10, 2005, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
