Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 "Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and Item 7.01 "Regulation FD Disclosure."

On April 17, 2007, American Greetings issued a press release reporting its results for the quarter and year ended February 28, 2007. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, American Greetings began reporting two business units, its educational products business and its outside investment in an entertainment development and production business, as discontinued operations as decisions were made during the quarter to exit these two businesses. For comparison purposes, prior period reporting has been reclassified to conform to the changes in the presentation of these business units as discontinued operations. Schedules reflecting these reclassifications for each quarter in fiscal 2007 and 2006 are being furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2.

Our segment results are internally reported and evaluated at consistent exchange rates between years to eliminate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. An exchange rate adjustment is included in the reconciliation of the segment results to the consolidated results; this adjustment represents the impact on the segment results of the difference between the exchange rates used for segment reporting and evaluation and the actual exchange rates for the periods presented. The fiscal 2007 and 2006 segment results presented in Exhibit 99.2 are presented at consistent exchange rates used for fiscal 2007.

The information in Items 2.02 and 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibits attached hereto) is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
