Item 2.02   Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” The information furnished in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be treated as filed for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
On July 28, 2011, Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (“Mettler-Toledo”) issued a press release (the “Release”) setting forth its financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011. A copy of the Release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Mettler-Toledo supplements its U.S. GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures. The principal non-GAAP financial measures Mettler-Toledo uses are Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income, Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth.
Adjusted Earnings per Share
Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Earnings per Share as diluted earnings per common share excluding certain one-time discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangible assets, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is diluted earnings per common share.
Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Earnings per Share is important supplemental information for investors. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it excludes certain one-time discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax, which management believes are not directly related to current and ongoing operations thereby providing investors with information that helps to compare ongoing operating performance.
Adjusted Earnings per Share is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Earnings per Share is not intended to represent diluted earnings per common share under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to diluted earnings per common share as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.
Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share
Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share, has certain material limitations as follows:
It does not include certain one-time discrete tax items, amortization expense of purchased intangibles, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax. Because one-time discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges and certain other one-time charges are components of diluted earnings per share under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes one-time discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges and certain other one-time charges, has material limitations.

Adjusted Operating Income
Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Operating Income as gross profit less research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses before amortization, interest, restructuring charges and other charges (income), net and taxes. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is earnings before taxes.
Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Operating Income is important supplemental information for investors. Adjusted Operating Income is used internally as the principal profit measurement by its segments in their reporting to management. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it excludes amortization, interest, restructuring charges and other charges (income), net and taxes, which are not allocated to the segments.
On a consolidated basis, Mettler-Toledo also believes Adjusted Operating Income is an important supplemental method of measuring profitability. It is used internally by senior management for measuring profitability and setting performance targets for managers, and has historically been used as one of the means of publicly providing guidance on possible future results. Mettler-Toledo also believes that Adjusted Operating Income is an important performance measure because it provides a measure of comparability to other companies with different capital or legal structures, which accordingly may be subject to disparate interest rates and effective tax rates, and to companies which may incur different amortization expenses or impairment charges related to intangible assets.
Adjusted Operating Income is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Operating Income is not intended to represent operating income under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings before taxes as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.
Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Operating Income
Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Operating Income, has certain material limitations as follows:
    It does not include interest expense. Because Mettler-Toledo has borrowed money to finance some of its operations, interest is a necessary and ongoing part of its costs and has assisted Mettler-Toledo in generating revenue. Therefore any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations.
 
    It excludes amortization expense. Because this item is recurring, any measure that excludes amortization expense has material limitations.
 
    It excludes other charges (income), net. Because other charges (income), net is a component of operating income under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes other charges (income), net, has material limitations.
 
    It excludes restructuring charges. Because restructuring charges are a component of operating income under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes restructuring charges, has material limitations.

Free Cash Flow
Mettler-Toledo defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities including proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, less capital expenditures, before restructuring payments and excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is net cash provided by operating activities.
Mettler-Toledo believes Free Cash Flow is important supplemental information for investors. It is used internally by senior management for measuring operating cash flow generation and setting performance targets for managers, and has historically been used as one of the means of providing guidance on possible future cash flows.
Free Cash Flow is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent net cash provided by operating activities recorded under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.
Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Free Cash Flow
Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Free Cash Flow, has certain material limitations as follows:
    It includes proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and purchases of property, plant and equipment, which are not considered to be components of net cash provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP. Therefore any measure that includes proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and purchases of property, plant and equipment has material limitations.
 
    It excludes restructuring payments and excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements, which are considered to be components of net cash provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP. Therefore any measure that excludes these items has material limitations.
Local Currency Sales Growth
Mettler-Toledo defines Local Currency Sales Growth as sales growth excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations that result from translating activity outside of the United States into U.S. dollars. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is U.S. dollar sales growth.
Mettler-Toledo believes that Local Currency Sales Growth is important supplemental information for investors. Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on our financial results, Mettler-Toledo believes local currency information provides a helpful assessment of business performance and a useful measure of results between periods.
Local Currency Sales Growth is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Local Currency Sales Growth is not intended to represent U.S. dollar sales growth under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. dollar sales growth as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.

Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Local Currency Sales Growth
Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Local Currency Sales Growth, has certain material limitations as follows:
It does not include the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations that result from translating activity outside of the United States into U.S. dollars. Because the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates is a component of U.S. dollar sales growth under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, has material limitations.
Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income, Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth should not be relied upon to the exclusion of U.S. GAAP financial measures, but reflect additional measures of comparability and means of viewing aspects of Mettler-Toledo’s operations that, when viewed together with its U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to net earnings, net cash provided by operating activities and diluted earnings per share, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
Because Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income, Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
The Release provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income and Free Cash Flow to the most comparable financial measures recorded under U.S. GAAP. The Release also presents Local Currency Sales Growth in conjunction with its most comparable financial measure recorded under U.S. GAAP.

— Very Strong Local Currency Sales Growth —
— Strong Growth in Operating Profit and EPS, Despite Currency Headwinds —
COLUMBUS, Ohio, USA — July 28, 2011 — Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (NYSE: MTD) today announced second quarter results for 2011. Provided below are the highlights:

Net earnings per diluted share as reported (EPS) were $1.82, compared with $1.49 in the second quarter of 2010. Adjusted EPS was $1.90, a 23% increase over the prior-year amount of $1.55. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure and excludes purchased intangible amortization, discrete tax items, restructuring charges and other one-time items. A reconciliation to EPS is provided on the last page of the attached schedules.
Second Quarter Results
Olivier Filliol, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Strong performance in all product lines in Asia / Rest of World, combined with particularly robust Industrial sales in the Americas and Europe, drove sales growth in the quarter. Despite tough currency headwinds on profitability, we had strong growth in operating profit and EPS.
EPS was $1.82, compared with the prior-year amount of $1.49. Adjusted EPS was $1.90, an increase of 23% over the prior-year amount of $1.55.

By region, local currency sales increased 9% in Europe, 9% in the Americas and 17% in Asia / Rest of World.

Six Month Results
EPS was $3.23, compared with the prior-year amount of $2.59. Adjusted EPS was $3.34, an increase of 25% over the prior-year amount of $2.68.
Sales were $1.060 billion, a 14% increase in local currency sales, compared with $885.2 million in the prior year. Reported sales growth was 20%, which included a 6% benefit from currency. By region, local currency sales increased 12% in Europe, 10% in the Americas and 21% in Asia / Rest of World.

Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure, and a reconciliation to earnings before taxes is provided in the attached schedules.
Cash flow from operations was $93.6 million, compared with $119.3 million in the prior year.
Outlook
The Company updated its outlook for 2011. Based on today’s assessment, management anticipates that local currency sales growth in 2011 will be approximately 10% and Adjusted EPS will be in the range of $7.95 to $8.05, an increase of 15% to 16%. The Company stated that Adjusted EPS guidance for 2011 is negatively impacted due to unfavorable currency rates, principally due to the strengthening of the Swiss franc versus the Euro. The Company’s previous 2011 guidance of Adjusted EPS was $7.90 to $8.00. Adjusted EPS excludes purchased intangible amortization, discrete tax items, restructuring charges and other one-time items.
The Company stated that, based on its assessment of market conditions today, management anticipates that local currency sales growth in the third quarter 2011 will be in the range of 8% to 9%, while Adjusted EPS will be in the range of $1.87 to $1.93, an increase of 9% to 13%. The Company stated that Adjusted EPS guidance for third quarter 2011 is negatively impacted due to unfavorable currency rates, principally due to the strengthening of the Swiss franc versus the Euro.
While the Company has provided an outlook for Adjusted EPS, it has not provided an outlook for EPS. EPS guidance would require an estimate of non-recurring items, which are not yet known.
Conclusion
Filliol concluded, “We are pleased with our excellent results in the first half of the year. While our sales growth rate for the remainder of the year will be affected by strong previous-year comparisons and the adverse currency situation will impact EPS, our business remains well on track. We continue to capture incremental market share by capitalizing on our sophisticated marketing programs and our strong product pipeline. As we look to the remainder of the year, we remain confident in our ability to execute on our strategies but acknowledge that the economy remains uncertain.”
Other Matters
The Company will host a conference call to discuss its quarterly results today (Thursday, July 28) at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
