Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Following the previously announced realignment of our operating structure in January 2007, we reviewed the presentation of our reporting segments and determined to segment our operational performance on a geographic basis. The following table presents our quarterly net revenues and operating income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 under our new operating segments. This information does not change, alter or restate information that we previously released or included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Rather, it provides supplemental information relating to previously reported results of operations. We intend to report our results of operations for all periods during 2007 according to the regions presented below.
