The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and Item 7.01, “Regulation FD Disclosure”

 

On January 18, 2006, Parker-Hannifin Corporation issued a press release and presented a Webcast announcing earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The press release contains references to earnings per share amounts excluding the effect of both the adoption of FAS 123R and a loss recognized on the sale of a division. The removal of both the FAS 123R effect and the loss on the sale of a division allows investors and the company to meaningfully evaluate performance on a comparable basis with the prior period, which was not impacted by FAS 123R or the sale of a division. A copy of the Webcast presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this report.
