Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Conditions

This information provided herein shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

(a)      On November 3, 2003, the Company will begin to present the Aspect Communications Corporation’s AeA Classic Conference Presentation in connection with a financial conference. A copy of the AeA Classic Conference Presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated into this Form 8-K by reference. The AeA Classic Conference Presentation includes a discussion of the Company’s historical operating results using various non-GAAP financial measures, including (i) gross margin excluding the write-off of intangible assets, operating expenses and operating income, each excluding restructuring charges and the write-off of intangible assets and (ii) EBITDA. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has included a reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures in the AeA Classic Conference Presentation, and has posted this information on the Company’s website at http://www.aspect.com/ir/index.cfm.

Management of the Company uses each of gross margin excluding the write-off of intangible assets, operating expenses and operating income excluding restructuring charges and the write-off of intangible assets, and EBITDA in monitoring and evaluating the Company’s ongoing financial results and trends excluding these items. Management believes this information is also useful for investors because the restructuring charges and the write-off of intangible assets are unusual due to their nature, size and infrequency. As a result, management believes a review of financial results excluding these items provides an important insight into the Company’s operating results and trends. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
