Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On December 19, 2006, Palm, Inc. (“Palm” or “the Company”) issued a press release and is holding a conference call regarding its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, ended December 1, 2006. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. Palm makes reference to non-GAAP financial information in both the press release and the conference call.

Palm utilizes a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall business performance, for making operating decisions and for forecasting and planning future periods. Palm considers the use of non-GAAP financial measures helpful in assessing its current financial performance, ongoing operations and prospects for the future. Ongoing operations are the ongoing revenue and expenses of the business, excluding certain costs that Palm does not anticipate to recur on a quarterly basis. While Palm uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Palm does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial measures. Consistent with this approach, Palm believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance. In assessing its business during the second quarters of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, Palm excluded or adjusted items in the following general categories, each of which are described below:

Acquisition-related Expenses. Palm excluded amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions to allow more accurate comparisons of its financial results to its historical operations, forward-looking guidance and the financial results of peer companies. In recent years, Palm has completed the acquisition of Handspring and the acquisition of the Palm® brand, which resulted in operating expenses that would not otherwise have been incurred. Palm believes that providing non-GAAP information for amortization of intangible assets allows the users of its financial statements to review both the GAAP expenses in the period, as well as the non-GAAP expenses, thus providing for enhanced understanding of historic and future financial results and facilitating comparisons to peer companies. Additionally, had Palm internally developed these intangible assets, the amortization of intangible assets would have been expensed historically, and Palm believes the assessment of its operations excluding these costs is relevant to the assessment of internal operations and comparisons to industry performance.

Stock-based Compensation. Palm believes that the exclusion of non-cash stock-based compensation expense allows for more accurate comparisons of its operating results to peer companies. Further, Palm believes that excluding stock-based compensation expense allows for a more accurate comparison of its financial results to previous periods. In addition, Palm prepares and maintains its budgets and forecasts for future periods on a basis consistent with this non-GAAP financial measure.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit). Palm believes that excluding the partial reversal of the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets for the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 provides its senior management as well as other users of its financial statements with a valuable perspective on the performance and health of the business. This partial reversal relates to realization of tax losses incurred in prior periods and is not indicative of current or future operations and expenses. Further, the Company believes that assuming a 40% effective tax rate provides a better indication of the income tax expense Palm will experience in future years. Prior to the partial reversal of the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, Palm’s tax rate consisted primarily of foreign and state income taxes.

Other Expenses. Palm excludes certain other expenses that are the result of unplanned events to measure its operating performance. Included in these expenses are items such as restructuring charges. Palm assesses its operating performance excluding restructuring charges as these amounts relate to costs which are unplanned and are not expected to recur on a quarterly basis. Therefore, by providing this information Palm believes its management and the users of its financial statements are better able to understand the financial results of what Palm considers to be its current financial performance, ongoing operations and prospects for the future.

Each of the non-GAAP financial measures described above, and used in this press release, should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, a measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, investors are cautioned that there are inherent limitations associated with the use of each of these non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and many of the adjustments to the GAAP financial measure reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in the company’s financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate non-financial measures differently than the company does, limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool. Palm compensates for these limitations by providing specific information in the reconciliation included in this press release regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, as noted above, Palm evaluates the non-GAAP financial measures together with the most directly comparable GAAP financial information.

The information in this Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Palm Reports Q2 FY07 Results

Revenue Totals $392.9M; Smartphone Sell-through Hits Record High, up 42% YoY

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 19, 2006 – Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq: PALM) today reported revenue of $392.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, ended Dec. 1. Smartphone sell-through for the period totaled a company record-high 617,000 units, up 42 percent year over year and up 8 percent sequentially.

Net income in the fiscal quarter totaled $12.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. Net income included stock-based compensation expense of $6.5 million and amortization of intangible assets of $0.3 million. This compares to net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 of $260.9 million, or $2.51 per diluted share. The second quarter of fiscal year 2006 net income reflected the effect of a partial reversal of a deferred tax-asset valuation allowance of $226.3 million.

Net income for the quarter, on a non-GAAP(1) basis, totaled $17.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, excluding stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets, and adjusting the income tax provision to 40 percent. This compares to non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 of $24.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, excluding the effects of restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock-based compensation, the related income tax provision, and the partial reversal of Palm’s valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset.

“We are pleased to report strong Treo sell-through this quarter, which is one of the most important metrics. More customers throughout the world bought Treo smartphones than ever before,” said Ed Colligan, Palm president and chief executive officer. “In addition, we accomplished a number of strategic objectives during the quarter: shipping two new Treo models to expand both geographically and demographically, securing perpetual rights to the Palm OS source code, and diversifying our manufacturing partners to strengthen our cost position and our product pipeline.”

The above non-GAAP amounts have been adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, the change in the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, and for the related income tax provision on a non-GAAP basis of 40%. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share amounts for the three and six months ended November 30, 2005 exclude the dilutive effect of the convertible debt using the “if converted” method because on a non-GAAP basis it is anti-dilutive.

Palm’s fiscal periods are generally 13 weeks in length and end on a Friday. For presentation purposes, the periods are presented as ending on Aug. 31, Nov. 30, Feb. 28 and May 31.

All share and per share amounts referred to in this press release have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend, effective March 14, 2006.
