Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 6, 2008, GLG Partners (the “Company”) released its earnings for the fourth fiscal
quarter and full fiscal year of 2007 and is furnishing a copy of the earnings release to the
Securities and Exchange Commission under Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. In
addition, the Company will discuss its financial results during a webcast and teleconference call
on Wednesday, February 6, 2008 at 8:30 a.m. (ET). To access the webcast and teleconference call,
go to the Company’s website at www.glgpartners.com.
The Company presents certain financial measures, such as adjusted net income,
comprehensive limited partner
profit share, compensation and benefits and non GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares, that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in addition to financial results prepared in accordance
with GAAP. See the discussion in the earnings release under “Non GAAP Financial Measures”. The
Company’s management uses these non GAAP financial measures in its evaluation of the Company’s
core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes these measures are an
important component of its internal performance measurement process. The Company’s management also
prepares forecasts for future periods on a basis consistent with these non GAAP financial measures.
Under the Company’s credit facility, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to maintain
compliance with certain financial covenants based on adjusted earnings before interest expense,
provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated
based on the non GAAP adjusted net income measure, further adjusted to add back interest expense,
provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Non GAAP adjusted net income has
certain limitations in that it may overcompensate for certain costs and expenditures related to the
Company’s business and may not be indicative of the cash flows from operations as determined in
accordance with GAAP.
