Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.On April 25, 2008, Gehl Company (the Company) issued a press release (the Press Release) announcing its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Use of Non-GAAP Measures The Company reports its financial results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company has also provided non-GAAP financial information to complement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.
