PR Newswire (US)
This press release adjusts the Non-GAAP operating income outlook
from that issued earlier today in a press release titled, "Imation
Corp. Files 10-Q with Revised Q3 Earnings and Full Year Outlook."
The impact of the charge reversal discussed below was incorrectly
noted as impacting Non-GAAP operating income. The Non-GAAP
operating income outlook is unchanged from that issued October 25,
2007. The corrected release follows: OAKDALE, Minn., Nov. 12
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Imation Corp. filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2007. Operating income for the quarter
was $16.3 million, which was $3.8 million higher than the results
the company reported on October 25th. Diluted earnings per share
also increased by $0.06 to $0.24. The changes resulted from
reversal of a charge incurred in Q2 2007 related to a terminated
employment agreement covering anticipated stock based compensation
and medical costs for the company's former Chairman and CEO, who
had been on long term disability. The former executive passed away
on November 5th prior to the filing of the Form 10-Q, which
necessitated adjustment to previously reported results. 2007
Business Outlook The adjustments in the third quarter results noted
above increased the Company's full year outlook for operating
income and earnings per share, but did not change the fourth
quarter outlook previously communicated. The following statements
are based on our current outlook for Q4 and fiscal 2007 and include
the anticipated impact from integration of the recently acquired
TDK Recording Media and Memcorp businesses. The 2007 outlook is
subject to change based on the final allocation of intangible
assets associated with the acquired businesses, and is subject to
the risks and uncertainties described below. Where noted below, the
outlook has changed from the outlook issued October 25, 2007. --
Revenue for 2007 is targeted between $2.00 billion and $2.05
billion, representing growth of approximately 25 percent to 30
percent over 2006. As a result, revenue in Q4 would range between
$640 million and $690 million. -- Full year 2007 operating income
on a GAAP basis is targeted between $55 million and $60 million
including restructuring and other charges of approximately $26

restructuring and other charges of approximately $30 million. On a
non-GAAP basis, excluding restructuring and other charges,
operating income for the year is targeted between $81 million to
$86 million. GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter is
